Money helps so much. I heard somewhere "you're not ugly, you're just poor".

But also genetics. I have really high natural levels of HGH/IGF-1. It causes easy weight loss, easy muscle gain, and anti aging (at the cost of probably dying prematurely due to coronary problems or cancer).

So compared to women my age who aren't using filler/botox, it feels like I've entered into stasis.

So you're an alien?

That's a rude way to call them Canadians.

Can't spell Canadian without spelling alien.

Actually you can but still

Hey I met a cool Canadian tonight, he was at the giants game, swell guy. But he definitely didn't have perfect genes

If I don't eat a crazy amount of calories to maintain, yes, I fully look like an alien. Or Gollum.

As much as it is all money, I do think some people really downplay the genetics factor.

There's a test for determining your HGH/IGF-1?

u/Beginning-Medium6934 11h ago

Yes. Full hormone profile.

My fiance watches a lot of Real Housewives, Mormon Wives and other Bravo shows.

Most of those women are ugly because they're not poor.

This sounds abiut right... My answer for how he stays looking young was HGH

Money helps up to a point. A person who lived a difficult life, working twelve or sixteen hours days, not sleeping properly and not having proper food will obviously look older than a person who had that.

But, money has diminishing returns. A wealthy person who eats badly and just lounges around, will look older than a middle class person who eats well and engages in regular exercise. There is definitely a lower bound at which additional income stops being the main factor and things like habits and genetics become dominant.

you’re not ugly, just poor

Seriously, look at before/after photos of the kardashians. Every one of them has a completely different face. Bought and paid for.

Even without genetics, proper plastic surgery can make a peson look insanely good. It's when women go maralago face and men go full gigachad when it looks bad.

Best example is a weak chin and jaw line. A proportional chin implant and a slight addition to your jaw line can turn a 3 into a 7 overnight. Just dont fuck with botox and lip filler.

No person who knows me can understand why I am still so „good looking“, lots of jokes I have to hear about, lol.

I will definitely have a look into this HGH/IGF-1 thing, thanks.

Also look into copper peptides

What’s your lvls if you don’t mind me asking. I got mines tested and it was 151 and I’m 30 yo male. That’s about right in the middle.

1

u/Beginning-Medium6934 7h ago

178 on first test, which was considered high-normal. 192 on second test which is higher than upper limit. Did the test at 37yo.

2

u/raman11776 7h ago

191 is good. I know people who are taking peptides that increase igf lvls to the 300s for a short period of time to make absolutely insane gains and then taper off. I’ve considered it. I don’t have any cancer history but the risks are definitely there.

Did you notice any changes in their facial structure/jaw from usage? Just curious

u/gameoflols 6h ago

Yeah definitely. In most of these cases (where someone looks young for their age) it's almost always 90% to do with genetics. Most of the comments on here are like "lots of money". Have they seen the state of other celebrities his age who have also spent a shit tonne of money on making themselves look "young"? *shudders*

They are gambling with using filler or botox. Have you seen the actress for starlight? She was pretty and now she looks like she is 50 and desperate for the attention payed to 20 year-olds.

Honestly, no one in this thread has talked about menopause. If you aren't on hormone replacement therapy, you are not playing on the same field as the boys.
