Why do millennials look so much younger than gen z? Is gen z smoking multiple packs of cigarettes a day? My guess is gen z is more mature and we become who we are on the inside on the outside. What do you guys think
>>85845960im 37 and still get ID'd at the register
trying to be mature is definitely part of it.like im genz and all the men in my family around my age style themselves to have thick facial hair and moustaches. they also tend to gymmax pretty hard and are reasonably big. millenials are more health conscious and effeminate with their mannerisms, plus they had an easier time of their upbringing, so they look a bit less ruggedpart of it as well is probably that genz is the children of genx, which was really the first sex to have selection based purely on female preference. that means more masculine men and a more rugged gene pool survived than millenials who were the children of boomers
>>85845960Selection bias and delusionZoomers do not look older than millennials
>>85845960Big part of it is literally just NEETdom. The skin ages a lot slower if you stay indoors and severely cut down on sun exposure. Also less stress from having to wake up at 6AM every day and wageslaving for years on end.
>>85845960gen z smokes less than previous gens, actually. I think gen z grew up as humanity got used to the internet and thus anything dumb or cringe you do could be instantly captured and frozen in time. This lead to them trying to look manly and overcompensate, thus a lot of gen z moids are now trad stoic chud larpers. Misery begets misery.
>>85845976I wouldn't think too much about that. I still get IDed regularly, and my beard is half grey.
>>85845960surely zoomies would look younger because they drink less and spend more time inside
>>85846018I think it's partially an age thing, but not a generational thing. I was more of a "this is how things/people should be" in my 20s and a more "go with the flow" in my 30s.That said, my 30s were after a string of failures in my 20s that made me largely give up. I imagine I would have been a different person otherwise of course.
>>85846350Drugs / alcohol / cigarettes surely contribute. My mother (drug addict) looks older than my grandmother (normal woman). My mother was a model as well at one point. The US needs to adopt China's methods of dealing with drug dealers.
