How young can you look at 40 if you do CRO...
The Immortalist 31 Mar 2013
I'm guessing these are the only ways to avoid skin aging:
- caloric restriction with optimal nutrition
- no processed foods, avoiding high blood sugar levels and keeping a low protein intake.
- cosmetic surgery like face lifts, eyelid surgery for the saggy upper eyelids that come with age, possible facial fat grafting if any becomes lost due to age, and maybe some conservative botox injections.
- Avoiding sun light
Matt from this forum still looks very young and could easily pass for a 20 year old and maybe even younger yet being in his late 20's so how long could he hold it up?

To remain positive, I'd say it's possible to look 18 your entire life, even if we haven't figured it out yet, we will and we'll be doing it forever! I was able to stave off aging a few years ago and look a little younger, but it all went away. We're still a ways away from it I'd think. We'll all need to do everything we can to reverse aging.

I would offer that very few people over the age of 25 would want to look 20
I agree. I would go further and say that many men reach the peak of their good looks somewhere between 30 and 40. For women, it is, perhaps unfairly, a little earlier, but not much.

It's all in how you present yourself. Only a real man wouldn't care if he looked very young in a professional environment full of older looking people.

I wasn't referring specifically to a professional environment. I think the movie 'in time' (Justin Timberlake, Oliva Wilde) had it close to right. If people had to pick an age to stop aging, the norm would be 25 (maybe a few years older for men). But thank you for explaining how a real man would present himself in a professional environment.I would offer that very few people over the age of 25 would want to look 20

There are some highly unscientific polls floating around on the internet about what age people would like to stay at forever, what one can reasonably deduce from them is that the older the person being polled the higher the response age.
eta: I posted a poll on this in the main Lifestyle forum, have at it.

Sounds like wishful/charitable thinking. People often answer that way because they don't think the way an immortalist does. They are more concerned with the next generation's feelings, they want them to feel like they've just reached their peak. It's a parental instinct that has just been passed down in the presence of death and aging. Making the most of what's left of life for the next person. The other thing that I think influences older people to think that way is a fear that medicare won't take care of them anymore or give up on them if they aren't happy with their lot and give priority to those who feel the best about what they're doing (it takes a devotion to immortalist medicine to make us feel that way with our doc IMHO). Perhaps they've learned that doctors feel better and display more bedside manner when the patient is happy with what can be done and they are deeply thankful for the doctor's work and want to make them feel as appreciated as possible regardless of how bad they feel because they are getting to stay with friends and family and don't have the loneliness of imminent death setting in and don't want the doc to give up on them.
Immortalist thinking will be much different IMHO.

Sorry, I know I need clearer pictures. I'm going to use my new digital camera next time when I upload pictures (I've growing my hair so I just update them every 6 months something). Here's the latest ones I have (I'm 28 years 5 months old here). Can't believe I'll already be 30 next year lol. I still get mistaken for being anywhere from 17-20 depending on the day. My skin is so much better in the last few months since I changed a few things. I had an old friend, Michael, that came over the other night cos I had to build a computer for him, and he told me "matt, you still look the same as when you were in high school". That was nice. At least my efforts are paying off. I think having a small body frame, and smaller baby-like features helps. It seems I didn't 'mature' in the same way majority of my friends did. At least not yet.

Making the 17 year old pictures darker/greyscale makes your face in them automatically look older. Allow me to exaplain. I've read that one of the main differences between men and woman is skin contrast(ie, females have paler skin then males of the same race). Female attractiveness is inherently tied to youth. What I'm getting at here is that making the photos of yourself when you were 17 greyscale is a disservice to an objective comparison between your current face and your 17 year old face. Either make them both greyscale or make them both in color.

And I did alter the colour of a new picture which I posted already and you can see here that it didn't make much of a difference imo. But for comparison purposes, I get your point. Thanks

I made the photo that colour because I hated how I looked cos of my skin at the time. I had probably the 2nd worse case of acne in my high school. I do have this which was taken around 19 years of age I think.

You're welcome I'm glad my advice could be of some help.
Now to get back on topic how long do you think you could hold up your youth matt? When you get older would you ever consider some cosmetic surgery or whatever?

I think that the User Brafarility of this Forum is an impressive example of what one can achieve even without CRON and Cosmetic Surgery. He has been a religious Sun avoider since age 20 and eats a vegan diet high in fat from nuts and low in protein. Now he is in his early 40s but looks 20 years younger.

That might be true for men - I doubt it is true for women
