Does saggy skin make the face more masculine?

Question

I heard a woman's face becomes more masculine with age. I found this to be very revolting and this made me feel depressed. Does saggy skin from aging make the face look more masculine? Saggy skin is from losing the elastic of the skin.

Answer 1

That's not true. We're just not as "pretty" when we're old and saggy, but that doesn't make us more masculine.

Answer 3

Women have both male and female hormones in their bodies. As women age their female hormones diminish up until menopause occurs( between the ages of 40 and 52) . The body is still producing the much lower volume of male hormone however. As the female hormones diminish naturally, women tend to find hair growing in places where it never did before and thinning in other places. This requires many older women to need shorter hairstyles to compensate for the slowing of their hair growth. The loss of female hormones also can result in the skin appearing less radiant and more dry. All those things contribute to the concept that older women become more masculine with age.

Answer 4

I don't think so, but many people lose the fat layer in their face as they age, and some people can look gaunt. Perhaps this "hardens" their appearance, which in turn could be seen as masculine? But I personally don't see a trend of older women looking more masculine with age.

Answer 5

lol... well I dont know about the masculine part... but it makes both sexes look older... and so what???... be proud of your age... and growing old sure beats the alternative!!!
