    why are you jealous of younger girls?

    I mean hell think about it... if you're over 21 you can do so many things they can only dream about...

    buy alcohol, drive, vote, have sex without worrying about your reputation, buy what you want without someone else dictating to you

    what's so great about pimples, insecurity, and no money unless mommy & daddy give you some?

      Perhaps the author is not referring to a teenager, but simply a female who is younger.

      A 40 year old being jealous of a 27 year old for example.

      Most people don't consider themselves "older" until after they pass 40.

        If you want to go that way... the author might have meant dragons or elves instead of people.

        I personally don't see the need to envy younger people. Be happy with who you are right now. Being jealous of someone else does you no good.

        You must remember that with age you often trade your youth for wisdom. And sometimes that trade really isn't all that bad.

      younger girls have the one thing all women want the most: youth and good appearance. Makes sense too based on evolutionary aspects.

        not always.

        some women really come into their own when they've matured.

          STRONG emphasis on "some". Even then, ive never been turned on by a 50+ yr old.

          Lets not fool ourselves here.

            that's just your opinion.

            to me young men for example look like little immature boys. and i do NOT find that attractive.

            give me sean connery or viggo mortensen. someone who looks like a MAN and not a child.

            likewise young girls are often immature. and that isn't attractive. well except to some who want girls they can take advantage of i mean.

            many men prefer women who aren't so childish

              dude women don't give a shit about guys looks. ( as long as he's well groomed and dresses okay)

              epic epic epic fail

              and don't let these wussy guys on this site fool you. we don't care about personality if she is hot.

    Its normal, but kinda silly. Just think of it this way, one day those younger girls are gonna get older too. So whatever they might have going on now its probably just temporary.

    Example: I have a really fast metabolism right now, but people sometimes tell me that as I get older that could all change.

    So don't worry. Everyone ages. Just let them have their moment right now. You got yours. And besides, getting older can't be that bad, right?

    Sometimes I get jealous of younger girls but I'm only 25 so I think I must be crazy. I just feel like u have to be 18 to say.. Win So you think you can dance... Or u can't be over 24 and still be miss America... Or other really obnoxiously silly things that don't actually matter at all. When I was 19 it never crossed my mind that one day I would feel like a faded beauty. I thought at 40 I'd have had plastic surgery and I'd be a really rich fashion designer in new York city. I'm not saying that's not still a possibility, but these negative thoughts about myself keep getting in the way. Like Could the barista at Starbucks stop calling me ma'am! I don't even have kids! And all this fuss about being married in my twenties.. Really? Because I'm terrible at dating.. And I like living alone. Also, there's a little thing called my career. Face it young ladies. It's 2011, u don't need to be Suzy homemaker. There's millions of women who aren't married yet, and itOK. They wouldnt have specials about all this on dr phill if there weren't millions of other women that can relate to aging.. And how scary it can be! But live in the moment. Ur not 90 are you? The other night I was out at a club in Miami and I was trying to figure out how old a group of girls next to me was. Then I thought.. What are u doing? Right NOW ur here too, and u know what, you're fabulous and beautiful. Just take care of yourselves ladies. Time has not run out. Print out a picture of kristy Brinkley and post it on your mirror. Relax. U have plenty of time until u can look THAT good at 50 something :)

    I sure as hell don't envy younger women. i'm 36, and I wouldn't go back to being 21 again. I still have my looks, but most importantly I have more wisdom, self confidence, general life experience, more responsible, less naive, have much better sex... the list goes on and on.

    Don't waste your time focusing on them. Time's marching on, so use it to think about your own future.

    of course, life is about competition. As you're getting older you might be getting "smarter", but you're losing to the younger ones with all the other qualities.

    Of course this is very hypothetical, but since we don't have any explanation I find it hard to be more specific.
