Jeez... Luckily I don’t know any women who actively claim to look younger like that (knock on wood that I continue avoiding people like that) and haven’t really noticed it online... those friends of yours sound pretty annoying tbh, and it’s hard to believe it’s so widespread when I haven’t really seen it at all.

That being said, I am told all the time that I look young. It’s not something I brag about or even really see when I look at myself, but it’s something people ask about soooo often that I just have to think there might be some truth to it. I figure others probably see me more objectively than I see myself (and I think I read somewhere that this is true). I’m not sure if I you would ever believe me since you’ve never met someone it’s actually true of, but outliers do exist right?
