If you’ve heard that men age at a slower rate in terms of wrinkles, it is true.  There are some men with greater genetic factors yes.  But the simple fact is that men go through fewer risk factors and indicators of wrinkles in general.  Men do not experience menopause.  Menopause has been known to greatly accelerate the aging process for women. 

But at the same point in time, while men essentially have to do it to themselves, they do to some degree.  Men are less likely to use cosmetics, use sunscreen, and otherwise protect and renew their skin.  Men are more likely to participate in high stress activities, and they are less likely to seek medical attention unless they absolutely have to.  They are less likely to eat healthier foods, and men are also less likely to do a lot of the preventative things that women would do in general such as taking 2 baby aspirins after a certain age.  So essentially speaking, while men have a higher rate of avoiding wrinkles, they still need to take the time to invest in the things that would help them along this path, which they are far less likely to do than women for various different reasons, not limited to the idea that this would make them more like women than men.
