Is It Possible To Age Horribly By Your 20s?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Not to sound too, too shallow, but I noticed some people I knew as a teenager on one of my social media feeds and...yikes!

Good thing I was never a great beauty or anything. It must really suck to have all your looks disappear. Even more so when you are still fairly young.

Anyway, any one have an opinion or care to share similar experiences?

Yep. It's pretty much all lifestyle-related. There's a guy in my class right now that's ostensibly 26 or 27 but is going to be done by his 50s if he doesn't seriously shape up his hygiene and diet and stop taking his motorcycle to the takeout restaurant that's literally across the street from his apartment.

Dude I know looks like his in his Mid 40's

His only 25

Festus says, yep! Though Luke Gallows shows that cutting the hair and losing weight does help a lot.

I've dealt with the opposite actually. I'm 30, and just four years ago I tried to purchase alcohol and the clerk asked me for ID.

To be fair Patrick Stewart suffers from Arn Anderson/Sable/Rhyno disease of permanently looking like a 40 year old. It sucks looking like a 40 year old when you're in your 20's and 30's but it gets awesome after 40!

I still get Id'd now, I'm 30 but still have a full head of hair and I'm incapable of growing a beard. It has it's good and bad points.

I've had gray hairs since I was 14.

I'm 29/and luckily my hairline is fine, unlike some of my friends who might be receding so bad Kristy and Many Ginobili are jealous

[Chip Chipperson]

I haven't aged horribly but I have 2 issues right now which are grey hairs and laugh lines. I'm only 23.

Nothing horrible because I still look young and don't do drugs or drink or anything like that but those grey hairs are worrying me. Hopefully it's only the occasional grey hair every now and then because I'd hate to be completely grey at 25.

Oh, as for people in their 20's who look terrible I see it all the time. I only got out of High School 5 years ago and I regularly see the girls who were hot in High School and they are usually mothers who have the sagged face and are overweight. They're people I'd say have aged terribly since it's only been 5 years and we're all still meant to be hot.

If you are too heavy into the wrong things, yeah. My brother smoked pretty heavily in his early 20's and already had gray in his beard before he was 30.

i'm 32 and it still happens to me from time to time. I keep hearing its a compliment, but it annoys me every time.

If I'm on my own then I don't mind but if I'm asked when I'm out with a group of friends it can be embarrassing.

[bigjohnsons]

From drugs yeah , my hometown (which is known for pretty much everyone being poor and on drugs) - people I grew up with look terrible for being in there 20s




In fact I believe the desert hillbilly part of GTA V is based on my town , not even kidding

I always think its a standard thing where they have to check it.

[Strotha]

I used to look old for my age but now that I'm 30 I don't really look like I've aged all that much since I was like 25. I'm sure I have, there's very little photographic evidence of my existence to compare. I'm certainly skinnier now at least.
