It's not that simple. E. Asians have good skin. But they tend to have poor muscle tone. And you need to consider external factors. Cus in poor places, the upper middle class and above counter all of that.
I would say overall the best agers in appearance are people with a lot of black blood. You see a lot that in certain parts of LatAm and Caribbean plus the States. Blacks have skin which is thicker and more durable than NE Asians. They have much heavier bones and muscles too. A big part of the aging process is loss of muscle and bone tissue.
I've seen people who appear to be around 80/20 black Caucasian mix who are mid 50s to pushing 60 yet don't have a single flaw on their skin and are still in still in great shape. The only giveaway with these types sometimes is white hair.
Some Middle Easterners and even Indians appear to age very well too.
NE Asians tend to loose it, at least body wise after 40 and for many northern European types, its more like mid 30s but with a lot of exceptions.
I see a lot of prematurely aged people in Phils, tropcal LatAm, and other hot areas. I'm talking about people below 30 and often not even 25 with significant eye wrinkling and loss of body tone (in case of women, esp. those who have had children). I reckon much of this is due to the sun but in Phils., its a double whammy of that plus very poor genetics. Thailand is much better because they are often diligent about covering up in sun (even workers), eat better, and have better genes.
I agree and disagree about blacks. The issue is poor nutrition and a higher level of health issues. However, the blacks who are more likely to stay in shape and when combined with good eating can look good longer. Example: Stacey Dash. I do however agree that black women will have flawless skin, but even they can suffer from sun damage if they are in the sun all day.
Overall, i'd say i agree with Winston in saying that Asian women age best. Hot asian women in their 40's are not uncommon. When you marry an Asian woman, you have higher expectations for keeping her looks into middle age. Thus, asian women are the only women i might consider marrying when they are in their 30's, while say Caucasian women are often dangerously close to looking radically different.
I've seen articles in the paper of a women in her late 50's who was arrested for prostitution. How common would that be for most other races? Anyone you know who would want a woman in her late 50s?? I also saw a picture of a Japanese lady in her early 60's who looked pretty good.
It certainly is possible that women of any race can look pretty good at older ages, my personal best example is Jane Seymour. She is just phenomenal looking for a woman of age 61.
