Just because you do not fit the definition of a "Coca Cola Red Bone" doesn't mean you are ugly - and just because you're as shapeless as a1971 Mini Cooper, or because you resemble a fifty year-old at twenty-something doesn't mean you should show scorn or disrespect those that are older but look younger than you. Stop trying to hide your emotional insecurities by throwing shade or using clichéd lines like:
"Kee mor mag cherreh." (She's older than processed/steamed millet) "Kee fehkay bi yallah don pentirr asamansi." (she was there when God was painting the sky) "Defa banya mag rek." (She's just refusing to grow old)
I have seen people droop their head to such nonsense like: "Oh! You see, I am not as old as you think," or even resort to reducing their birth dates, like what the hell! Can't you see having an ageless face or a Vivienne or Jennifer Lopez type of physique that is never seeming to age is a rare privilege; a gift to be appreciated and not scorned. If others are not comfortable or confident in the way they're endowed, let them petition God. If they are because of their lifestyle, let them work on that, because being all petty about it is straight up bullshiting.
About avoiding resentful desires and pettiness, let me tell you this true story: once I dated this young lady with a face that only her mother and I could love. As a fairly athletic and admired basketball player back then, folks couldn't understand how. But the fact was, her personality made her looks unworthy of notice. Now don't ask why or how the relationship ended.
