Daughter Brags About How Good Her Mom Looks, Accidentally Starts A Viral Thread (33 Pics)
One daughter has made her beautiful mom Internet-popular in a matter of days. Recently, Twitter user @shipilkins uploaded a picture of her 43-year-old mother who looks nothing like her age, and it already has over 25K likes. After the tweet went viral, others started replying to it with photos of their own young-looking moms. However, it became clear pretty early on that this "beauty contest" will have multiple winners because these gorgeous, forever young "participants" look as if they found the elixir of life!

These are sweet daughters They were raised to appreciate and respect older women This was such a wonderful blessing to see
last time I got carded, I was 54. the guy just about had a heart attack. (-:
If that lady is 60 yrs old, she must have found the Fountain of Youth !
Beauty contests, celebrating a woman as a symbol of community solidarity and fertility, has a long and continuing history in Europe and North America. However, you could say their modern form came to be during the second half of the nineteenth century when women were frequently displayed in publicly staged events across the US. These events were met with little protest as long as the occasion and its organizers were 'respectable.'
I'm so jealous ! I'm a teacher too but it often feels like students suck the life out of me 😁
Women didn't wear swimsuits in public until the early twentieth century. The public staging of semi-naked women, however, developed together with modern popular culture and beauty standards, where low and high-class values became mixed and bathing beauties could be shown in movies and advertisements.
Eventually, everything came together in 1921, when Atlantic City hosted the first Miss America contest. So as not to offend public morals, the sensual aspects of the contest were obscured by a week-long, elaborate festival which included sports events, automobile races, as well as orchestra and choir competitions.
After receiving quite a bit of suspicion, beauty contests became really popular in the 1950s, with civil associations like the Jaycees and Rotary organizing them. Through mass media, the model of the contest spread all over the world. However, beauty contests still face criticism as people continue to argue that these events promote unrealistic expectations of what women are expected to, and should, look like.
she is beautiful but it really isn't fair to post pictures that are filtered or touched up and then say "see how young she looks" it's not genuine
Actually, mom looks older than her age by a few years. Still young, though!
When did the 30’s and 40’s become old? I mean,posting a photo of a lady in her,lets say 37,and being surprised she looks young (and beautiful) is beyond my way of seeing it.
Exactly. I'm 39 and glad that my kids are too young to be posting this.
Exactly! This must have been written by a bunch of sixteen year mall hoppers.
I;m 41. Those womens in 40s looks like like every woman in 40's now. The nutrition, the better condition of life make the 40s look younger from 40s in the years 80's or 90's. And maybe in our 60s we look younger from the womens in 60s in 2019. The age now is not a secret like in the past .
What conditions of life or nutrition were different in the 80's and 90's? Ridiculous.
Agreed I'm 35 with two kids, sure I look a bit different than I did 10 years ago but mostly have no wrinkles, a little more grey and I'm about a stone heavier but I wouldn't go on the trash heap yet either.
They're young mothers only in the sense that they had their babies in her 20s or even younger. People at her 40s look like this. They all look her age, and some of them a bit older. I'm 43 ;)
It’s insulting to say the least.
It is relative, really. The older you get, the younger people around you become. Back in kindergarten, 15 year old teenagers seemed like full adults to me, then when I became a teenager, I looked at 25 years olds as "too big", now I'm turning 30 and I still don't think I should hurry if I want kids, and 40 year olds don't feel much older either, while the "too big" 25's from before now seem like kids, and teenagers are as cute as little sparrows gathering at parks and having fun.
I don't know why you were downvoted, you're totally right.When I was 8, I considered my 14 year old babysitter an adult. Now I'm fourteen, and from my perspective, anyone older than 20 is an adult. And I'm sure that, when I'm twenty, I'll look back and be completely in awe that I could ever consider somebody that age fully grown. It all changes with perspective.
This is true. I know that I'm getting older because every year I see more people "young". When I was a teenager, a 20yo person looked old to me!
What?
No one called them old except the people posting below the photos. They are all just lovely moms.
exactly
I've seen some women not all, at these ages looking old
The people who posted these are probably between age 10 and 20. They have no concept of time or age or looks. They are all literally children.
A lot of these women look their age, the do look really good, but certainly look their age. Plus what is wrong with looking 49 when you are 49?
I was thinking the same.... I mean, many of them are barely 40 or 45. Yes they look super cute but they are still young!!!!
I probably expressed my thought in a bad way. It's not that because you are young you are cute (I am the same age as many of them and totally not good looking at all). The point is that it seems like some sort of miracle the fact that they are beautiful and hot. The picture I appreciate the most is the 60 year old mom that looks like she is 40. That is surprising.
I wouldn't say they look young - that babyfaced peachyness is definitely gone - but they certainyl don't look old.
You should look super cute at that age, because guess what??? You’re still young.
The issue is that someone’s kid isn’t going to understand what “looking 49” is supposed to be. They think you wrinkle after 25. Because they aren’t even close to being 25 yet. The opinions of kids are useless when it comes to looks and age.
Spot on!
Isn't the point of the thread pretty moms, not moms that look young for their age? The two are not the same thing!
The point is not looking their age but younger
I guess kids these days think you turn into a wrinkled, old, gray prune when turning 30? Most of them look their age and the ones that don't, use a lot of makeup, perfect poses and overexposure to look younger.
Why people are surprised that these women look like women and not young girls??? I'm 36 and honestly want to look 36 - not 18. Age is just the number of times you've circled the sun... it has absolutely nothing to do with how you feel, how you look or how you act.
Ah 18 is not what they're saying not only is that half your age but none of them insinuated teenage 18 or even 20.

It must be a cultural thing. It’s pretty sad to grow up thinking like that.
wow! a lot of these moms look great and all, but as Herb and Laura said, there is nothing wrong with looking your age!
Most of them do look their age...
There’s something wrong with thinking that 43 should look vastly different from someone a little younger. That’s a way more toxic mentality than wanting to look great forever.
Aside from make up and poses they all look their age.....and that should be okay
My mother at 72 years old. Yes, she is more beautiful than me. If others are proud of their children, I am very proud of my mom. :) img_201712...38526f.jpg
Unless you look like your profile picture, I doubt your mom is prettier then you. I'm 100% you are also very pretty.
:) me, me... (in the picture profile) - Thank you, your words are very kind, but I am right. I was thinking that I should have used my mother for the picture on my new ID card :))
We are all beautiful. We just have to look pass what we consider flaws (easier said then done, I know that) 🤗
I was expecting to see 80 year old women looking 40, not 40 year old women looking 40. They all look great but they look their age. And when did 40 become the new 90?
exactly!!!!!!
Teenagers/early twenty kids always thing anything over 35 is ancient.. until they get there and realize :D
Ahahahah! True! Such sweethearts. ♥
My mom is 79... Her mom made it up to 104 66471190_2...f1a912.jpg
well this is impressive! she doesn't look 79 AT ALL
This is how this post should be. At 79 your mom looks way younger than her age.
this must have been written by some 14years old...when they think that being 35 means being one step from the grave
Objectifying women is never cool esp by women
A lot of celebrities look better in their 70s than in the 70s
They pay good money for that. Although, to be quite honest, most of them would look so much better without it—-some of the procedures and fillers they get tend to make them look plastic and frozen, and sometimes unrecognizable.
Are those all Russian ?
Yes and I wonder whether they age slower
Women objectifying women. Face Palm. Only on panda
Since when is complimenting them on their beauty and charm “objectifying”? Now if these women were saying things like “show me your titties!” Then yes that would be objectifying and wrong.
To be fair, it's only really objectifying the titties.
I love that it seems like these kiddos are all proud of their gorgeous moms!
My mom should be on this list. She's actually "Old" lol She's a beautiful 75 years young! https://www.facebook.com/MemoryCreationsllc/ 65728674_2...620c99.jpg
Your mom looks amazing and confident in that dress!
But not the dress...
Yeah your mom and other women like her are perfect examples of how this list should have gone. Your mom is FABULOUS
All these moms look a lot better than me: 30 with 2 kids... Well... Mine are still a toddler and a baby, maybe I'll look less dead in a few years :P
Don’t sweat it, sweetie. You’re just going through the same things everyone does with a toddler and an infant. No one looks their best when they’re stressed, exhausted, and sleep deprived, though you’re probably much harder on yourself than anyone else is. Anyway, it’ll all get better, once they both start sleeping through the night (as long as two’s your limit). Then you’ll be much better rested, have some quiet time to pamper yourself and your partner, and can start feeling like yourself again. Hang in there; you’ll be just fine.
Now can we be equal and do one of youthful looking dads
Why don’t you start? :)
There have already been posts on here about hot men in their 50’s and 60’s...
Nowhere does it say in the title anything about these women being "old". It's just kids celebrating their beautiful moms!
Well, guess there is hope for me as people usually judge me a lot younger than I am. Still ugly tho...
Misery loves company...join the rest of us...
Bored panda now celebrates teenage pregnancies from white woman that didn't get weathered by a hard life of work :D
Bored Panda (where people are honored for replicating what others have already done and for the mass of unique individuals doing the same thing) is upholding the time honored tradition that only women who look younger than they are are worth celebrating. This is the message that we need to reinforce because constant barrage of advertisements and age-defying celebrities is not enough! Hags and fat grumps need not apply.
I'm 73, the people who posted these pics of 'old' Mothers would probably suggest I turn myself in at the nearest soylent green processing plant...
With the amount of overwhelming imaging manipulation available to the average internet user, there's a whole lot of nope involved in this post.
People! Nobody ever said 30-40's was old! People are saying they think their mothers are beautiful, not that they are young or old, not that they look their age or don't, just that they think that they are beautiful. Beauty doesn't have to do anything with your age, and that's not what the point of this thread is.
Yeah people completely misunderstood this threat, taking it to be "women who look younger than they are" when it actually is "kids showing pictures of their pretty moms"
I can't believe you're the only ones here that realise this... I was reading all these comments and I was like "when did any of the posters say anything that implied 40 yo was old"
They were al super pretty
You want to look good as you get older? Stay out of the sun, take care of your skin, and don't get fat. That's all you need to know.
Fat plumps out wrinkles. Stay skinny until the wrinkles show up, then put on weight. Instant filler.
Hahahaha.
Well, sometimes menopause has other plans for you in those departments. None of which is your fault. All you can do is just wait it out. Once it’s over, you can start getting back to feeling like yourself again. Finally.
Tbh those are important factors
I'm 35 almost 36, I look like I'm in my mid 20's. Women take much better care of themselves now and we're living a lot longer. It's not just women though, men too are looking more youthful without surgical enhancements (nothing wrong with it if you choose it!). I find it funny though that we're considered old in our 30's... we're still really young . Hell, it's more about how you feel inside that should matter most!
I agree, except nobody considers mid 30’s old. Nobody except children, who don’t really count anyways. Anyone old enough to rent a car knows better.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG LOOKING YOUR AGE AND NOTHING WRONG ABOUT AGING - IT IS NATURAL AND SHOULD BE EMBRACED!
It is interesting how reducing people to their appearance most times is considered bad but sometimes charming...
You are so right. It's the focus on the outside that's unwanted, whether considered a compliment or not.
Interesting how all mothers here are white. I wonder if the thread didn't have any People of colour or the authors specifically chose only white women.
all of these women are beautiful
russians ... what do they eat, they all look so good!
Remove the filters and most will look like Betty White.
What a load of crap. I can see women more beautiful at the local mall.
It's 2019. Considering all the filters, Photoshops, etc. I don't belive any photo. Anymore.
That was a MILF of a thread....
I think most of these people would be happier if a) they stopped comparing themselves to their mother, and b) if their mothers stopped competing for good looks.
Most of the OPs were Russians (judging from their names), and sadly, in Russian mentality over 40 is often considered old, but it's changing now. Anyway, it's inspiring to see so many good-looking "old" women, even though most likely many of the photos were retouched or used filters. As long as they are happy themselves, it's fine)
I was expecting to see pics of 50, 60 & 70-year-old women looking like their in their 30s & 40s! With maybe one or two exceptions, all I see are women looking age-appropriate!
Many commenters seem to forget that 36 is already old enough to be a grandmother. Not only this, but life expectancy for women with children in the West was not much longer than 40 to 45 up until only 100 years ago.....and actually in many places around the world this is still the case.
I noticed most of these women are foreign maybe Russian and not really American. I believe diet has to do with at least fit bodies and maybe even their skin.
My mom isn't super old, but regardless, she's gorgeous. We get confused with each other sometimes. I take it as a compliment. I'm actually kinda jealous of her.
I could totally put photos of a certain very-good friend here. She's so beautiful, but she feels she doesn't belong because her age is a certain number. Whatev, babe.
Most of the kids posting their mum's pics are in their late teens/early 20's, no surprise they think late 30's/early 40's are old and haven't had enough experience to tell when someone looks their age - as most of the mums did.
Single dad, 50, still looking...again. I think that this is the 4th time I scrolled through this. -Dr M
It's sad these kids think their moms are old at 40. News flash.. that's not old!!!!!!
Some where, there are a bunch of paintings, hidden, getting older.
sorry.. but since when is 40 old?????
My mother is 67 and most people think she is late 40's, early 50's, My dad is 67 too and looks his age, and people who dont know us comment all the time how my dad married such a younger woman, or people ask my mother why she married someone so much older till they tell them there are only a few months apart in age. It can be funny sometimes, and it helps my mothers self-esteem that strangers think she is so young
These are pictures posted by daughters, it doesn't matter if 40's isn't considered "old". They are still old enough to have daughters, that are adding the pictures of their mothers. No one is saying "look at my old Mom"! I mean, dear God, so many people are just vomiting the same "40 isn't old" on every post...geez.
Why does everyone assume Old = Ugly and Young = Beautiful? Stupid thread and silly people.
Let's all worry if we look "young enough", looking the age you actually are is not good enough anymore.
Weird, I thought this was going to be about "steal any man" but apparently nobody has a problem with that. WHAT KIND OF WOMAN WANTS TO STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S PARTNER? A monster, that's who.
I have a problem about the whole thread! And I have also raised an eyebrow on that caption. This is just trash.
When I was between marriages, my favorite age of women to date was between 45 and 50. Exes were gone. Kids were gone. Money troubles were gone. But the looks and enthusiasm were still here. I was between 35 and 40.
What’s in the air there besides residual Chernobyl sieverts? I feel the need to learn Russian.
We need a more diverse ppl version, that's where the youthful genes are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 41 im thankful my child is only 2. THAT is when people tell you you are old!!! But all these women are just normal women with kids around the same age who can now post about there mums, we couldn't in our day but Im damn sure our mums looked 'young' and cool in their 40s too!
There’s looking young, which can be bought (cosmetic surgery, injected fillers) or faked (filters used in pictures), and there’s genuine youthfulness at any age. If you’re youthful, in your attitude and outlook, it will show on your face and body. You could be over 100 and still look young if you’re youthful inside. But it has to come from inside you and be genuine—-there’s no faking it. If you do have it, then all the surface stuff you do to yourself won’t help you one bit. In fact, it’ll only make you look worse.
I'll be 38 tomorrow n October
I don't know where that sentence came from. Damn autocorrect. I tried to write that I will be 38 this October.
I'm 37. 40 is not old. If you look old at 40 it's because you did not take care of yourself.
No, it's because you're 40. Most of these 40yr olds look like really hot, well taken care of 40 year olds. Not a damn thing wrong with that.
I guess all of us really thinks that our mother is old.
I'm 50 and want to know were all these beautiful woman are.
I think younger people may be tricked by filters and fakery on TV (Kardashians, for example) into thinking that 40 "should" look 25. That or they truly assume we stop being viable human beings at 35. Yikes. BTW, smiling gave me my wrinkles, so I'll flaunt 'em! :-)
Does her face crack if she smiles?
Some of the photos are seeeeeeeriously filtered. I'm sure that's not necessary.
More shit posting. I need to stop coming here.
40 is young. 50 is young 60 is young. We just are stuck in an old era type thinking that people over 40 is old.
So after reading some of these..i guess being thin makes you " young"..cause there are alot of bikini and yoga pants shots
It seems like around 45 is the magic number under which you can still stead your daughter's lover.
Many of these women are not from the USA. Wonder why that is.....
Because Americans have a bad diet? I guess.
I'm 50, and just lost a lot of weight, cut my hair short and tend to wear youthful clothing - I'm hoping I look a good 10 years younger than my actual age. My husband looks at least 15 years younger than his age - he's 53. Sometimes we meet people or see them on tv and find out they are in our age bracket, and almost fall over in shock. They look like they could be our parents. Getting a good haircut, keeping your face fresh with light makeup, staying relatively slim and not dressing at "lady stores" really does the trick. Smoking, extra pounds to let gravity have its way with you, and dressing in baggy clothing ages you tremendously.
Good point Lynne. Some people let themselves go and age rapidly and they think that’s the “standard” for how their age looks. You can pretty much look like generic “adult” age for decades and decades if you take care of yourself.
Goals?
Wth is this post about, why are these young women, mostly in their early 40s, are being projected as some sort of oldies who supposedly should look like grannies instead of how they look just now. These are cases when you realise this is an Eastern European page where women are still very oftenly being subjected to age-shaming and called old bags after they turn 30. Not cool.. not cool
Because kids are dumb and have stupid opinions about things. And kids made this.
Either these people live in countries where women look older in general, or really dumb young people, who think 30 and 40 is old posted this garbage. Women in their 30s and 40s look pretty good where I come from, and not because they had plastic surgeries, but because that’s still at a very young age. This was not a good post, BP. I find it very insulting to read, “my mom looks pretty good for 35”.
I get what you're saying, and I totally agree. But young people who consider 40 to be old are only doing so because of perspective.The four year old girl I babysit considers me old, and I'm only fourteen. It all depends on perspective of age - the younger you are, the older people seem. That being said, the majority of the women on this list are beautiful, but definitely look their age!
People stil haven't adapted to the new millenium. We eat better, we live better, we smoke less, we do decades of skincare routine, and most improtanlty. We constantly need to reinvent oursevles in a changing world. We look way younger than our parents did, at the same age. I'm 48. I think I look my age, especailly bodywise, but most people peg me for younger because I simply don't live like a frumpy old bat. Times have changed, so have we. It really is time to adapt to that.
Good point. Just look at old movies for an eye-opening glimpse at how much better we now look at older ages. Back in the 1930s, women who looked downright matronly—-I mean in their 60s (and not today’s 60s either)—-were cast a mothers of very small children! Same thing goes for the fathers, who looked more like grandfathers. We’re healthier, we understand that aging well takes work that starts when we’re young, and we’re no longer expected to dress like grandma and grandpa after 40—-though you have to be careful not to look like “mutton dressed as lamb”. A 40+ year old should never try to compete with a 20 year old down on their level. The 20 year old will always win. Because they’re 20. But remember this: a 20 year old will get left way back in the dust trying to compete with you all the way up at your level!
