    All of my replies are being downvoted now, lol. I swear man…Lemmy is fucking stupid. The people here are absolute clowns and make the Reddit population look intelligent. It’s really bad.

      That’s because the claim being made is legitimately insane. Suggesting that most of the 40 somethings have no wrinkles at all is simply not going to be true.

      And again it is much more likely OP has nearsightedness they refuse to recognize

        I think the problem is that one side is making a statement as an absolute, and the other one is making a statement which they quantify as “most”.

        One single occurrence disqualifies the person claiming the absolute.

        “Most” would mean more than half, which may be a big ask but we don’t know their entire experience, culture, environment, and all the other factors involved.

        For the record, as a very fair skinned 53yo woman with blue eyes and blonde hair, I’ve spent my entire adult life hiding from the sun and wearing sun screen year round (I live in the Chicago area.) I regularly get mistaken for my early-mid 30s, and if I look really close I can see some fine crows feet when I smile. I dare say 10 years ago they’d have been hard to find lol.

          It’s because elastin actually fades with time, use and sun exposure. The time and use parts are why smile lines, forehead wrinkles and crows feet are common. Many of us only notice our wrinkles after they are observable by others because we see our aging day to day.
