Why do women age much more than men?

It is so unfair! Women have to take care of the husband, have kids, work, cook, bake, wash, clean and also take care of themselves since it is pretty clear that women age faster than men. Or at least they will look older and men somehow still able to maintain their young looks.

So is it in the genes, or maybe it is because of all the sarifices of being a woman eg. giving birth!!!

Some people say that you age at least 5 years more after a kid. Your body go out of shape and the strain of childbirth just will pile on the years to the face, body, everywhere. So unfair right?

So is that why so many men stray?? They want to go for younger chicks??

Picture above is John Edwards 55, his wife Elizabeth Edwards 59, and the women he had an affair with Reille Hunter 45! Elizabeth is 4 years older, stricken with an incurable cancer - is that why John Edwards had an affair with the younger Reille Hunter?

Just putting aside whether looks play a role in his infidelity, he should never forget what an incredible woman he married. Not only she supported him thru his presidential pursuits, had 4 children, endured the anguish when one child died in a car accident, went ahead to have more children after his death when she was 46 and another baby when she was 50, diagnosed with cancer when she was 54, went thru the treatments - survived and then another blow when the cancer returned in 2007 but yet she continue to campaign for her husband presidency elections while undergoing treatment.

So after doing and enduring so much, to have her husband have an affair and have it smeared publicly, it is not easy for any woman.

But yet she is strong and still standing by her husband.

Amazing woman! Whether it is unfair that women age faster, look older than men or whatever, look beyond the looks and don't forget the inner self beauty of a woman.
