Russian Women don't seem to age well

[TeddyBear]

After getting scared to death with the recent posts about age gaps and KenC's divorce, I started to take a closer look at the 30--35 year old profiles.  IMO, Russian ladies don't age well and I am thinking it has to do with all their suntanning at beaches without using UV block.  I also think it may be due to the lack of resources to buy high quality skin creams.

I've never seen a RW sunbathe without some sort of sunblock, and besides, tanning season in Russia is only a couple months long.. How much damage can it do to their skin?  It's true that in the past women over 30 would spend a lot of time in the sun working on farms and in gardens with no skin protection whatsoever, but those women are well over 50 now.. Skin care products are plentiful nowadays too.. A lot of the premature aging you see on those women is due to stress and an imbalanced diet.. Some blame the quality of drinking water as well..

TB,
Have you been to the FSU?
I would have to say the opposite, of course I have never looked through any online profiles, but of the FSU women I know/met who are living here and other places I have traveled and from my limited travels in Ukraine, I think there are some very good looking older women.
You are right about sun worshipers though, here in Norway there are many women who you can tell were those Scandinavian blond bomb shells earlier in life, who are now paying for the beautiful tans they had earlier in life.

Could be my standards are lower, but I doubt it.

My wife maintains a complexion as good as, if not better than some 'local' RF wives 10 years or more younger.  Unlike westerners (it seems), she has no obsession to throwing everything off at the mere hint of sun, and in Florida was very sensible to her approach to being on the beach.
 
Mind you, she loves 'olde' English stuff.  In Victorian and Edwardian times, it was strictly landworkers and 'trade' that got tanned.  I think she's trying to be a latterday 'English Rose', with the slight blush to the cheeks!

I thought I read most of that thread but missed the part where Ken left Lena because she started to get old for lack of skin creams.

It depends how you compare them.

I have seen RW of over 70 who look not more than 50, while others at 40 look like they are 70. It depends on lifestyle and eating and drinking habits.

Yeah, suntanning at the beaches is a problem in Russia!

Personally I think anyone who feels that has been using women they see on TV rather than women they see in the mall to compare. 

In their 20's I think like everyone else I would give RW a big edge.  They are more fit, they spend more time on make up and pick more femine clothes and thier slavic looks are very appealing.  American women pay less attention to how they look.

I would also give RW the edge in their 30's since many AW tend to put on a lot of weight after they have kids.  RW do more walking and get more exercise and tend to keep thier figures in their 30's and 40's but then they too tend to put on weight.

Face wise about in the 40's I think it tends to even up but body wise the RW maintain an advantage.

I do tend to agree with Shadow that how they take care of themselves is a big factor.  Some RW tend to smoke which ages them and some drink more which also can age them.  Sometimes the face is a roadmap of the life you have led. 

I too have seen a lot of RW in their photos that are in their 40's and 50's that look better than a lot of 20 year old women here.  I have also seen some that look like they were ridden hard and put away wet.

Of course with many of the photos we see of older women the skill someone had with photoshop can make a difference too.

TeddyBear, sorry for the sample profiles that you found on that dating site. No, I don't think that aging not well would be something inherent to Russian women. Also I wouldn't attribute it to lack of skin care product, or to their negligence while being exposed to the sun.

To put it short, my opinion would be that it is mostly in the genes of a particular woman, and in her mentality that would either keep her up, or make her down with age. Russian women are just too many, plus they are by majority white Slavic people. That, in turn, would mean a certain physical standard. As I am in Canada now, I can notice it right on the streets. On people, including on the women, I see all genetic combinations taht would be possible on humans. People are diversely built here, unlike back in Russia.

I agree with Turbo here, there are lots of mature Russian women who look better with time than in their earlier years. Again, sorry for those profiles who came up in your search.

Compared to..............................?

Not that one.

Not that one either.

That one.

All of that said, I have noticed here in Au over the years that women from the Northern Hemisphere with as we refer to, that soft (Oh so beautiful) European Skin, do tend to age a little less well than some bred and born into this climate. Having said that, we were recently at a BBQ where the group included 4 RW ranging between Mrs I/O @ 28 to another @ 48 and I can assure the OP, any one of them was way more than half hot. They are 4 women of whom any one would turn heads in the street and when we adjourned to a cafe' later as a group, the 4 of them together were causing some serious male jaw dropping and and an equal amount of female scowling.

I'd suggest some wider searching and a visit to establish what (whom) if anything (anyone) might capture ones interest. Based on some experience (although it is a while back now), often things are not as they seem, photos included and it isn't a "given" they will be less than the photo.

Most older Russians lived a hard life with lots of stress. Their diet wasn't the best either. If you ever watch a grandmother, her daughter and her teen grand daughter walking down the street, there's usually a height difference and the teen is the tallest. Diet plays big part with growth and health which can contribute to physical appearance.

[facetrock]

  Very good point about height Billy. Come to think of it I have noticed that. I also think when some of these women hit their 40s and are single again with few prospects of meeting a decent man they just give up on life and let everything go to hell.

Is this tendency to increase height unusual to the other countries?

Russians call it 'acceleration', when height goes up in the next generation.

Oh my!  30-35 = "aging" already? :hairraising:  I thought I had at least another decade before I would be talked of as "aging" (well or not so well). 

[BillyB]

Yes if people change their diet. South Koreans eat much better than Koreans in the North and they are on average around 15 cm taller. My Vietnamese Aunts and Uncles grew up in Vietnam living off less food consisting of mostly rice and seafood. Their children, my cousins, born in America eat better which include other meats and potatoes, have better nutrution and all of them are taller than their parents.

America once had the talllest people. Europeans have been eating better over the centuries and decades and are now taller. I think nutrition will take us humans so far in height and that's it. America's height is probably going down somewhat since we do have lots of Asians and Latin Americans here which are generally shorter than Caucasions. Americans over eating can be counter productive to growing tall. It's hard to grow tall when you're packing 400 lbs!

BF, the last time I seen your bikini photo in the photo gallery, you were still looking good!!! Your photo alone will get some lurkers to sign up just to get permission to view it.

RW are all different.  Some look great, some do not. 

The differences probably reflect gene variation, lifestyle (diet, smoking, exercise, and sun), and stress.

RW will insist upon buying expensive skin creams from Yves Saint Laurent or Lancome; yet these do very little.  As my dermatologist explained, these creams are nothing more than "HOPE IN A SILVER BOX."  He said the only cream that helps is tretinoin, or Retin-A (perhaps Mir will agree), which requires a prescription.

I started meeting AW again.  They're not so bad, and believe it or not some of them in their mid-50s look fabulous.  The only physical difference I detect between early 50s AW and late 40s  RW is that AW tend to have more cellulite, larger arses, smaller middles, and bigger breasts.

God help me, but I still find AW more boring than RW.  That is another matter and would take too long to explain other than to say I am eccentric and the AW are 7-10 years older.

Teddybear, your inexperience with women is really beginning to show through with this post. If you were or still are contemplating a much younger "because" she is from the FSU, you really should think again. Do you date much younger women at home? You should ask yourself why you want a woman that much younger than you then read up as to how much they really are different.

As pointed out earlier the ozone at the beaches in Russia is hardly the problem. It should also be pointed out to you that there are many mitigating factors that determine how one might age or retain their youthfulness. Some of with could be geography. Their are many differences and trade-offs as it relates to environment and it might surprise you that they exist everywhere, in every location.

A firm grasp on the obvious there Gator. On how many continents or in how many countries could the same statement be true?

LOL, reality check? Look at it this way BF, you can age or you can grow older. I prefer the latter FWIW.

Agree with Gator here. All this brand name fancy looking skin care is nothing.

 I also use tretinoin that I used to buy from the U.S. or Canada. Somehow my Moscow friends and I managed to get some without prescriptions

[tfcrew]

What makes someone age ..not so well?

Smoking, drinking, poor nutrition, lack of proper sleep, various other drugs and an all around really fast life.

I would think this would fit anyone so described.

God help me, but I still find AW more boring than RW. 

Gator, Gator, Gator.....

I'm so gonna be bashed for this, but... I think the answer is dry skin and sun damage.

Since I am naturally tanned, I really have no need to sit myself in the sun and bake my life away.  I'm 32 and I have not one single visible wrinkle on me.  Most of my friends (who are white) say I look 24 because I have no lines, not even laugh lines.. but then again, I don't have a big smile.  Little mouth + constant work doesn't produce lots of laughing.

As a southern california resident with a large population of sun worshiping people, I've noticed that about late 30s to early 40s.  White people who sun worship tend to look really wrinkled. I once went out with a cool 38 year old girl but could not stand to look at her with my contacts in because I would see all the wrinkles everywhere and being that I don't have any, it just felt way too odd. 

Of course, the non-sun baking people look just fine.  Asians considered (usually older generation) tanned people to be working class farm people and if you notice, a lot of them tend to stay away from the sun, use umbrellas or strange tinted visors.  They consider paleness to be regal.

I've spoken to two RW online who said I had a nice tan and asked how long I took to get it.  I said "no time" this is my natural color.  They both said they were envious and are excited to tan themselves for summer. 

My understanding is that blacks/latinos/asians tend to have oily skin... and white people tend to have dry skin (female friend told me this, don't know if this is true)... so essentially, I think as a whole.. not just RW.. but all white women who don't moisturize and are oddly sun worshiping, look old prematurely.  If they use sunblock and moisturize, I think chances are decent they will look decent.

Alright, my 2 cents.  Sorry if I offended.

[TeddyBear]

My thoughts exactly,  I think asian women age the best in terms of skin.  A see a lot of 40 year old asian women who look fantastic.  But at 23 a white women imo looks more fresh and sexy, but at 30 it all seems to go downhill pretty quick.
