@haddon9 I think you’re right. My Dad had fair skin like mine and green eyes. Got sunburned every time he played golf when younger, paid for it w/ several skin cancers that were removed and when SPF came along, he was first in line & was never without it. Mom has a more olive skin, figured that meant she could sunbathe and get tan and toasty brown. To this day, she sits on her patio sans hat or sunscreen. Dad passed away at 91 with some wrinkles, but not 1/2 as many as Mom who’s 8 yrs. younger.

It's the genes and that is more than 98% of it. The other 2% is hydration.

I think wearing sunscreen consistently plays a big part too.

Genes, sun, water, moisturizer - all make a difference. Seems like men who golf and boat/fish have early lines on their eyes.

Here is what I feel. The public accepts men who have aged better than they accept women. MEN ARE DISTINGUISED but women need all kinds of cosmetics or cosmetic surgery. Men can have gray hair, wrinkles,etc. Just take a look on tv yourself. Check out the news anchors for example.

Men have thicker skin than women. They have more collagen than women do in their skin. Men's skin is about 25% thicker than a woman's skin. DARN! Men also have more oil glands and pores than women do.

@SilleeMee

I think also that so many men have such nice eye lashes and eye brows! Especially, lashes! And another thing --- since their skin is thicker and I guess composed differently, their legs for the most part are good --- no cellulite!! Not fair at all!!!!

I used to bartend on the weekends when I was young and would always laugh as the men would comment on the womens looks as they sat there with their huge bellies and bald heads

@haddon9 You’re absolutely right. My dad never aged and he passed away at 92. He had no wrinkles and kept a very young age in his face for all those years. The only thing that changed on him was his hair. He got grey at a very late age in life. He was still handsome when he passed.

Same with my dad.

I have been to every high school reunion, the last being my 55th. I am with my friends who I attended both grammar and high school with and we are still close.. It has been my experience at the reunions and my friends that we have to look at the men's name tags which consists of their year book picture in order to know who they are while that isn't the case with the women.

Of course there are those who age well whether male or female but we are always thankful for those name tags at our reunions!!!!!!

I was going to make the same comment. It’s the men at the reunions who look aged (weight, hair loss, ruddy).
