Mostly late 30s and early 40s. Some of my friends started balding in undergrad. Meanwhile I have a natural Norwood 0, which cowgod is understandably very jealous of.

yeah i've always thought it was crazy when guys try to convince themselves that they age better than women cuz all the women i know in their 30s and 40s have flawless skin and are still youthful and glowing while most of the men are shriveled and receding.

exactly. and personally even though i prefer a youthful look on men it's not a dealbreaker if they look older, since i care 100000x more about personality chemistry than shallow physical characteristics. but it's just a fact that from what i observe day-to-day, women in that age range are way better-preserved.

always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen before going outside or even before spending a lot of time close to a window during daylight!! besides that, you're probably good unless you're noticing fine lines you wanna target, in which case an OTC retinoid would be the recommended plan of action.

Former coworker was a boomer living in California and spending lots of time in the sun. He told me that sunscreen isn't good enough. He has "cumulative sun damage" or whatever despite claiming to always use sunscreen. His dermatologist told him to cover up with clothes as much as possible and use sunscreen if it's too hot to fully cover up.
