I don't mind that lifestyle one bit but they always seem to take issue with mine. So yeah, I can't wait to grow older and be taken more seriously.

>>127374I can relate. My childhood was shit, my dad was abusive. I also grew up in a very strict religion, I was pretty much sheltered from the world.
I like dressing childish, watching cartoons, etc. I'm scared of being seen as old and not young anymore. I think it's because I had my childhood taken from me. I'm in my late 20's but still feel like a child on the inside. I don't feel like an adult. It's just strange to me, I feel so young but see a aging adult in the mirror and it freaks me out.
Then there is societies obsession with youth. I associate youth for females as having freedom. Your allowed to dress how you want, like what you want and do what you want. When you become older, you can't dress or do anything that is deemed youthful or your a freak.
So for me, the biggest reason is loss of childhood combined with how older women are viewed in society.

>>127390asian here, the signs of aging within asian populations are stalled: true but that only makes us be able to categorize and judge each other for a bit more time based on body type/physical features before tossing every woman into the auntie 35+ category.
my features are considered neotenous and "cute" even compared to other asians: round face, short limbs, small body parts but large head, 5'1, buckteeth etc. in asian culture this just means i fail to fit the ideal of the 5'7, long legged, small V line face new 21st century ideal.
but alas since I live in the US, my physiology means I will always be categorized as "cute" and "innocent looking" even until I am 30. I will be "cute and young" from age to 14-30 but in none of those days will I ever get to feel "sexy and womanly" had I have had less childish features. I feel like I will go from "cute and child like" directly to "old auntie 35+" without ever getting to experience what it feels like to be a woman whose considered sexy, gorgeous, hot etc

Eastern Europeans are perceived as aging badly because many older people around here spent hours and hours in the sun working in fields pre-sunscreen or are alcoholics (seriously, alcohol is a big problem). However, the ones who take care of themselves look great up to 80-90+. My great grandfather looked great and was lucid up to his late 80s too. In my opinion it's just important to take care of yourself and keep doing things. Working helps a lot.

Sorry large post ahead.
I've been 22 for a couple of months now and it's been a decade since I was 12 which bothers me.
I was so happy when I was 12 and the world seemed very good then.
I'm pale, 163cm and baby-faced and have Eurasian halfie features, 45kg and my proportions are 75-55-80. My proportions are on the left among various Loli characters.
When my face eventually ages I can use a mask. I like kigurumi costumes and I could use that to continue to cosplay and have sex with my boyfriend. I don't care that they're "Uncanny valley". I like being underweight for my height and race too.
But I'm happy because I get carded every time I am at a restaurant to ask for wine, (though I don't drink much and only one glass,) at casinos, my boyfriend's friends thought I was underage and teased him about it, at the train they asked if I needed a child ticket (15 and under,) at a convention they asked how old I was and after I said my age they said that I could have gotten the child ticket (12 and under,) a taxi driver asked me if I was in the 6th or 7th grade (was he joking? I don't know) and a cosplay videographer said I was in middle school, and some white old man shop owner kept talking to me and asking what school I go to.
Honestly I'm not trying to brag but I like reminding myself of these things, but at the same time I feel a bit ashamed and pathetic.
I used to have a weird habit of going to Google images for "senior prom" "junior prom" "bat mitzvah" "7th grade cheeerleaders" etc.
Then putting photos of myself next to them, and comparing them.
I got a sick satisfaction from it when I looked better.
It's extremely pathetic and this is the first time I've told anyone.
But I wonder if all this if even enough.
Japanese and Korean standards are higher.
Why have an imitation when you can have the real thing?
Junior idols are popular in Japan. (Though adult idols are more popular which is a relief.)
Why have a pathetic failed adult when they can have a 12 year old who isn't miserable.
One day we'll go to Japan but I'd have to wear those surgical masks due to shyness.
My boyfriend is a good man, he is a few months younger than me, we met when we were 19. He is my first boyfriend and last.
He is so handsome and kind and intelligent and perfect. But he's a big weeb in private. He loves anime and enjoys cosplay JAV. He says he doesn't like Loli but… he does like a few Loli characters and loves it when I cosplay as them.
He says he loves my young-looking and slow-ageing body and says how small and cute and innocent I look and my small breasts and small vagina looks. He says this stuff during sex often.
So I worry if he'll still love me when I get old. I suppose every woman worries.
I'm a dirty NEET that doesn't leave the house unless it's to see my boyfriend, or to go out with my mom to cafes and restaurants because she's lonely and hates my dad. I don't have any friends besides my mother and boyfriend and I don't make much facial expression. I take good care of my skin.
This is spiteful but I look at his circle of friends, they are college liberals and the girls aren't that attractive and are loud and outspoken. I feel relieved knowing that they wouldn't compete with me.
I really need to get married soon. I can't wait until I'm his housewife, it would give meaning to my life. I love him and want to live happily with him and support him with his computer programming career and cook for him and give him massages and sex.
I need to get married before 25 because I don't want to be a Christmas cake. If I become one I'd hate myself and see myself as a failure. My mom married at 33 which is way too late. My grandma was 30 when she married which was uncommon. I want to break the pattern.
My boyfriend says he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He wants to marry me but I'm supposed to wait until he proposes like a good girl.
I hate how MRAs say that women are so spoilt compared to men, they don't know the feeling of being interchangeable.
I hate Red Pill guys because they actually despise women, they say they want a young traditional wife, but they wouldn't love her, and probably just manipulate and beat her. Good girls don't deserve bad men. That's how abuse works, abusers bully weak people who let it happen to them. An overly submissive woman is an ideal punching bag to them. Just look at Muslim countries where preteen and teen wives get beaten and raped. It's like, you can be the nicest girl in the world, and still you're just a dumb bitch to them.
They say how women who've "hit the wall" are worthless and that they want to age of consent lowered so they can get girls before they turn into sluts. But these guys are the horses in the "cock carousel" they complain about.
I wonder, all this effort put into being a good girl, would I be rewarded…
I wonder what the greener grass is like. Being a career woman. But I hear its dull and stressful and puts you deep in debt. I'm naive and don't want to be scammed like the rest of them. Being a housewife just seems more fun and makes more sense. I'm glad it's my choice and not forced.
Sorry for the long post I am being a PMS-ing bitch and should get it off my chest.
Mother just says its stupid to worry about, and I should spend time on hobbies and skills instead of my appearance.
and I don't want to talk to my boyfriend about it because it would ruin the illusion, and make him feel sad and worry about me.
I have Aspergers so social rules are already an elaborate chore.

It looks a bit like everyone here is too lazy to post and too lazy to read. Or like you don't actually enjoy talking and exchanging information, you just post out of boredom, out of habit or to make yourself look better in your own eyes and proceed to other activities or just refreshing facebook without being bothered about reading posts of others here. It looks like there is no passion/soul/effort into posting here, like no one really likes this place and talking.
>satisfaction from bf being called pedoidk, sounds like friendly cussing to me. I like to tease people I like as well. It's really nice feeling when you tease a girl, she gets slightly upset, then you hug her or something and all the anger goes away. It's just adorable.
>qt loli waifuTo me it looks like loli just because women don't like to look old (as you've said, fear of aging is common), but how is desire to be wife and see it as meaning to life? Firstly, for family oriented people it's attractive and actually refreshing after seeing all that shitting on being housewife, all these girls who say they don't want to have childreen and all those girls who dream of big careers etc, delaying all the familylife, not realizing that not everyone can get big and most people end up meing simply medicore. For such people woman who doesn't want to have kids or value money and high-end comfort over family and bonding is instant turn-off.
Secondly, how does it make zero personality if it's her actual choice? This IS personality, just not the one you like/approve. What do you consider personality?

Just the fact that I met one woman who was 80 and looked 40/50 and hot in a conventional way blew my mind so hard that I never felt scared of aging again.

>>127357The thought of some guy having to track her face for 30 minutes and meticulously correct it consistently gives me the sweats.
I'm ok with aging considering I'm an old fag at 28 (been on 4chan since I was a freshman in college…10 years ago). I think the concept of aging is scarier to women who haven't become financially independent. Maybe they live at home, live with SO's parents, whatever the case is, they're not financially stable, and especially if you don't have a partner in crime, it's pretty lonely. When you are out on your own two feet, getting to decide if you feel like staying in and ordering pizza and playing games while streaming animu for however long you want, or go out to an ok gathering with local friends…suddenly turning 30, 35, 40 doesn't seem so miserable. It's so much more graceful to do with a social herd, or at least significant other. I spent my mid 20s very broke, poor, wasting away, with very, very few friends and then living with my SO's parents which was a soul-sucking nightmare. They were by no means bad people, but having his parents give us looks as we took another beer to go play a video game was just salt in the wounds. It takes such an emotional and spiritual toll that every new line under your eye, every new crease UD's Half Baked falls into that you can't just "blend out" makes you remember how young and happy you used to be in a shitty cosplay at 17, and you're mentally trapped there.
As I get older, I'm actually going to shift most of my wardrobe to dresses and skirts. I love jeans but I really have a hard time looking my age and as feminine as I like in them. I definitely want to get the new cheaper Invisalign, maybe corrective surgery on my eye skin, and probably laser hair removal because I'm almost fucking 30 and I'm tired of shaving hair I know for a fact I don't want.
My only good advice to others who feel immense dread every birthday is, start learning new skills. Learn calligraphy, learn to cook, go to skillshare.com and keep yourself mentally in school. When you start conquering the beginner levels of a new skill or hobby, you realize just how much more you can do with, for, and by yourself. My memory might've been better 10 years ago, but I feel like so much less of a dumbass because of new areas I've explored.
PS, all those normie fags with a million friends all grow up to be in the same boat as you, and duller. The hottest guy I knew, who was in a very successful band turned out to be a weird nervous almost shut-in. The girls kind of just morphed into one mega-maxi-dress-wine-lover characterture. Doesn't make them bad people or bad company, but what you see is really what you get.

>>127465For me, all that isn't what scares me about aging. It's about looking old and gross, I don't want sagging skin and wrinkles. It's also not having freedom to wear what you want and hiding your interests because they aren't "age appropriate". It's also about people treating you differently, people are less kind to older women than younger ones.
I'm also not pretty, the only complements I get are about how young I look. So I fear losing that soon. I freak out when I go a little while without people telling me that, I worry I suddenly look like a gross hag.

>>127469Sorry to hear that anon. Don't take this as an attack but maybe now is the time to do some serious introspection. No matter how young you look someone will look younger and be younger. Hanging your self worth on something so temporary is dangerous and I hope you realize you're more than that. At the risk of sounding like a preachy tumblrina you're a human and have worth beyond your fertility (youth) and how pleasant you are to look at. I suggest sitting down and seriously thinking about what you think is the purpose of life is and what truly is important. (Obtuse I know) Why do you need people to see you as young? Why is being young so positive in an of itself to you? You've stated pretty bluntly that you don't find yourself attractive, are you thinking you'll get uglier while aging? Why is it important to you to have people not think you're ugly?
Have you ever spoken with someone who has made you think about the world in ways you never considered and opened your eyes to new possibilities so expansive it made your hair stand up on end and kept you up at night imagining new futures for yourself? Maybe try to pick out what made these people so electrifying and try to find these qualities in yourself. Sorry for the essay but I'm feeling very touched by your comment for some reason. I hope everything works out for you.

I've always been ugly so other people paying attention to me is never going to be a thing that happens.
The thing I hate about growing old is that I'm less and less able to wear cute clothes. I'll have to become a mega-maxi-dress-wine-lover like said here…
>>127465I mean when I get a job I feel like I'll be 25+ and it'll be too late to experiment in full-on j-fash… I have no money or opportunity to even do it now at 22 to be honest…

>>127474It's funny how it works out like that. J-fashion can be pretty expensive to fully get into it. By the time one can afford it easily, you will be too old to wear it. I honestly don't know how young Japanese girls can afford the fashions so easily, especially lolita.
When I was your age, I could barely afford anything. Now that I'm almost 30, I can afford things like lolita and by a dress or 2 with matching accessories every month. Unfortunately I'm getting too old for the only style I like, pastel vomit sweet.
There are older people into J-fashion, even the very cute styles but they all have babyfaces. If your older without a babyface, you will get lots of hate.

>>127475I think it's the same for Japanese girls. They're either older than they look or are rich/have access to wealth. It's also perfectly normal for girls to live at home and just have a part time job where they can spend the money on whatever they want. High school isn't compulsory there either, so it is possible for a 17 year old girl to just work part time and have money to spend on j-fashion. And it's probably marginally cheaper bc no shipping fees and such.
In the west, university is almost mandatory now and very expensive, and it just seems like young people have more responsibilities/financial burdens. You could probably afford j-fashion too at 17 if you dropped out of high school and worked a part time job, lived at home and did nothing else with your life.

>>127474I actually felt this way too anon, until I realized with my weird looking face I'm gonna look weird wearing cute clothes no matter what.
That being said I'm gonna get a face lift for sure. I don't mind my weird face but I do want it to stay young for as long as possible.

>>127476Thats what Dakota did. She didn't work (well we don't know apparently kaka had a part timer at a store) and did schooling at home.
I reckon she got cash off from her gran's inheritance and used half of it on cheap knock offs from Taobao back in 2010. Used those for her photographs which went viral.
She probably knew she'd end up making the cash back anyway.

>>127483As an Asian myself I never got people saying this. Asians typically look their age, even when they get older. They just don't get fat, which I think helps out, and typically stay out of the sun. Do that and you'll be fine.
When it comes to aging I don't care about my appearance so much as the shit I will have to face. I don't want to deal with my family members dying or work responsibilities increasing or having to have children (and I'm 29 so I have to deal with that shit soon, I don't know if I want kids or not and I'd better fucking hurry). I hate having to think about all this shit, I need more time.
No. 127486
>>127484Same, never got it either.
But I think because we generally grow up around Asian people that we notice the aging more than white people notice Asian aging.

>>127493I'm 23, married and never once been on a date or asked out by anyone. I'd love to go on a date but my husband always picks shit places and just watches me eat most of the time because he hates talking.
Even if I get a divorce I'll still be an icky old divorcee so it's not the same.
No. 127496
>>127494Being a divorcee isn't that bad anon. Especially because you're still young so don't do that to yourself if you can't find anymore reasons to stay in your marriage. I know plenty of people your age who are already divorced. Not all of them stupid, they just really thought they were in love.
Anyway, maybe you could switch up the routine and ask him on a date instead?

>>127495needed a visa to move to a non-shit country
met guy online, started dating him, guy proposed because he didn't wanna be in an LDR but he still wanted to date me
Honestly I hate weddings and I thought I'd never get married ever before this, the marriage just reinforced my hatred for weddings and big ceremonies, and mine wasn't even big.
Also everyone in my school sees me as a gold digging whore now and thinks he's loaded but he's an unmotivated high school dropout and I really love the guy even though he's a lazy pos. That's why we're splitting, he doesn't wanna do shit and I'm getting two degrees at once because I don't wanna be a dirty poorfag anymore.

>>127511What you eat is much more important than what you rub into your skin. Don't want to rain on your parade, but putting fillers in your skin will actually stretch it, weigh it down, and you'll end up having to do maintenance all the time and will eventually look like a bloated corpse with weird lumps in your face. Pic related, she used to be pretty.
