I think that we all look at people and say "HE DID NOT LOOK THAT OLD WHEN HE WAS...[X]." Or "HE DID NOT LOOK THAT OLD [Y] YEARS AGO." (The algebraic nature of those sentences shouldn't scare you because it just means insert your own values there). I think that this happens at set intervals commonly. I do not know what these intervals are, but I want to discover them. Again, the math terminology is purely cosmetic. I think that here is my rough estimate.
16 years old -- LOOK SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER AT 21/22
21/22 YEARS OLD -- LOOKS SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER AT 27 YEARS OLD
27 YEARS OLD -- LOOKS " " DITTO "" " " " " 31 YEARS OLD
31 -" DITTO" -DITTO" 34 YEARS OLD
34 YEARS OLD " IBID" 38 YEARS OLD
38 YEARS OLD "IBID" 40 YEARS OLD
Does this seem right? The chart is obviously incomplete because I honestly haven't known many people who have aged from their 20s through more than their 40s (this is a function of me being under 30, and again don't worry about the math term).
My theory is that as you age the interval shrinks.
