Is it even physically possible to have wrinkles at this age? ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] obviously if i said it…like i dont feel horrible enough, thanks [/QUOTE] Why would you feel horrible about it? If it’s bothering her, I could see helping her out with research, but if it’s just something that you don’t like about her, I can’t see how bringing her any amount of wrinkle cream is going to help her feel better about herself. Is it bothering _her_, or you? ---

Maybe the OP _is_ her. I can’t imagine a guy caring so much about this issue that he would post a thread about it and keep begging for treatment ideas But perhaps my imagination is limited. ---

lol. im NOT her…she is in fact my girlfriend. Dont ask why, but for some reason it hurts to see a 17 year old girl look so “old”. and I guess it hurts me(and it does bother me more than her) because Ive seen what shes gone through for a lot of her life, and I feel like all that stress has attributed to it…i guess the wrinkles just remind me…and for both of us I was just seeing if there was any solutions. Do you guys think im being to harsh here?? should I just suck it up and accept it?..hmm…i guess i already know the answer to that. THanks and i am a guy, and I do care a lot about this issue… 🙂 ---

It’s not an irrelevant forum, it’s the forum your question belongs in. This isn’t a question to which there is a factual answer, it’s within the realm of opinion. Thus, the forum change. Anyway, if it doesn’t bother your girlfriend, yeah, you should really just leave it alone. If my husband came at me with various creams and potions to fix a defect of mine that didn’t bother me, I’d be pretty annoyed and hurt that he was bothered so much by a relatively minor flaw. I would assume if she cared, she’d be seeking wrinkle cream on her own. ---

From the studies I’ve heard about, there is no cream that will fix wrinkles. The skin is stretched, and it will never spring back to its previous dimensions. My advice for people who don’t have wrinkles yet - always rub under your eyes from the outside to the inside to prevent stretching. I started doing this when I was a teenager, and at 40, I have no under eye wrinkles yet. The two may not be related, but there’s no harm in it. ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] I can send a picture if needed. [/QUOTE] Please, PLEASE do not do this, at least not without her permission. I highly doubt she’d appreciate her boyfriend offering her photo up to try and disect what’s wrong with her looks. :rolleyes: ---
