% of people who read this sub and think they look young for their age

Probably most judging from the posts I've read.

It's funny how we all know we looked a lot younger 20 years ago but somehow we play these mind games with ourselves because we have to convince ourselves that we're looking closer to the age we were when we liked the way we looked.

Too bad that we're programmed to react this way to something as natural and inevitable as aging.

I've noticed that people who never considered themselves good looking generally have an easier time looking older. Old age is like death. It's an equalizer.

Or maybe I have it totally wrong. Maybe it is just that only people who are concerned about looking old are reading this sub.

Because "aging" in of itself is not a specific condition. Those who are concerned about specific diseases and conditions go to those subs to post and get information and feedback.
