Most of us here do look pretty good, I imagine. I'm 45 and still regularly carded for cigs and alcohol. Part of it is genetic; my mom always looked really young. Part of it is that I've stayed out of the sun since my early teens. But IMO a big part is simply that people expect women in our forties to be fat and sloppy in baggy beige "mom clothes," or frumpy sweats, so when they see someone slim wearing normal non-baggy clothes, they automatically assume younger.
