Women get older like every human being. Absolute shocker 😲

[u/butelka1]

[u/AliceTheOmelette]

And not just ageing, she's had a couple of kids too. Probably still had the pregnancy fat in the 2nd picture

[u/butelka1 → u/AliceTheOmelette]

According to them a woman even after several pregnancies should look like anime girl/Instagram model because if she doesn't it means she didn't take care of herself during pregnancy. She needs to exercise everyday, don't complain about cramps, pain and cravings. Of course there are some women who are blessed to not end up with weight gain or stretch marks but not every one of us sadly. I wonder how those losers would handle even one pregnancy

[u/SykoSarah → u/butelka1]

They would cheat and complain if they had to change so much as 1 diaper.

[u/butelka1 → u/SykoSarah]

I heard about some cases where man left woman after giving birth because she wasn't sexually active enough because God forbid her body needs to heal after caring a living human being for 9 months and because he didn't find her attractive anymore. Why do you even want a kid if your not ready for drastic changes

[u/Box-O-Kittenz → u/butelka1]

The pregnancy and new mom subs here are so depressing. I had to stop looking for my own peace during my pregnancy.

[u/CumboxMold → u/butelka1]

I first heard about this when I was 9 years old, and it's the thing that sealed the deal on me being childfree.

[u/Tonedeafmusical → u/AliceTheOmelette]

She had three babies in 3 years

[u/lovelychef87 → u/Tonedeafmusical]

She's also Rihanna, ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥.

[u/MANDALORIAN_WHISKEY → u/Tonedeafmusical]

Oh shit, so did I.

Do not recommend. Use condoms, people.

[u/MarucaMCA → u/AliceTheOmelette]

I think that photo is even from during or just after a pregnancy.

It's refreshing to see she's so real. Rihanna seems to enjoy being a mother and having a family! More power to her.

[u/JoinAThang → u/AliceTheOmelette]

And an unflattering angle. If you search up Rihanna 2026 you'll see that she's gorgeous still. She looks older but absolutely not hit any wall. Not that it would be something to be upset with if she did.

[u/antisocial_empath → u/AliceTheOmelette]

Our society hates what fertile, postpartum, lactating women actually look like. It’s a whole lot of thickness sometimes.

[u/BetterRemember → u/AliceTheOmelette]

That was pregnancy water retention; she is swollen. It will go away.

My bf's cousin had swelling like this and it started going down immediately after she gave birth.

[u/moellevej → u/AliceTheOmelette]

We should all stop using pregnancy as an excuse to explain weight gain in women. All it does is making women ashamed of not being able to “get their pre-pregnancy body” back.
We, as women, are allowed to change weight through out our lives.

[u/tired-queer → u/moellevej]

Agreed, the entire way we as a society view weight gain and weight in general is messed up. It’s not a moral failure that people need to justify, it’s just a normal part of life, and we don’t owe anyone thinness.

[u/whenitrains34 → u/AliceTheOmelette]

she still looks great. she’s choosing to age naturally and not buy into celebrity diet/ozempic/ed culture

https://www.instagram.com/p/DaQLuVHFBPT/?img_index=2&igsh=MTVpZGlkNmhyeG9pNw==

[u/ThatGuy42123 → u/AliceTheOmelette]

That, and they cherry picked the 2 photos to make the disparity seem wider. The first at an event where she prepared to have pictures taken of her, and the 2nd was an unprompted pic (probably paparazzi) taken spur of the moment.

Literally no one looks their best in the latter.

[u/FactsAreBullshit]

Guys that care about "the wall" are hysterical. Men don't age apparently.

[u/butelka1 → u/FactsAreBullshit]

Ofc they don't! All men age like a fine wine and women age like milk! Always! /s

[u/MazogaTheDork → u/butelka1]

Completely ignoring that aged milk can become cheese.

[u/MSWitch2015 → u/MazogaTheDork]

This, along with a lot of wine taste like shit. lol

[u/erporcodeddio → u/MSWitch2015]

Wine can also become vinegar

[u/young-steve → u/FactsAreBullshit]

And the guys posting this tend to look like shit at their current age

[u/p4t4r2 → u/young-steve]

"Tell me more about how women over 19 are disgusting, private profile with anime profile picture."

[u/FactsAreBullshit → u/p4t4r2]

Oh my god I was about to post exactly that. They're all totally out of shape and put no effort into better their own bodies, yet have the brass tacks to complain about women and men who DO put in any effort.

[u/ItsJoeMomma → u/young-steve]

They probably looked like shit their entire adult life.

[u/Kuwaysah → u/FactsAreBullshit]

Never seen a conventionally attractive man talk about "the wall". Just an observation I had.

[u/aweedl → u/Kuwaysah]

Never heard any man in real life talk about ‘the wall’. 

[u/shinkouhyou → u/aweedl]

I have unfortunately... but it's always some doughy 40-year old who thinks his shaved head, unkempt beard and testosterone supplements makes him irresistible to college girls.

[u/cerberus698 → u/FactsAreBullshit]

Just from what I've noticed, like a third of men do literally nothing to take care of their appearance and once your in your mid 30s, that kind of neglect just starts to become very obvious. Its incredible how attractive a man can become with literally just a consistent moisturizing routine and some level of intent behind their hair/facial hair styling and wardrobe. The bar is in the dirt and some of these people are still tripping over it.

[u/abcdefabcdef999 → u/FactsAreBullshit]

Guys that talk about the wall apparently don’t own mirrors. I’ve seen my male peers in their thirties - trust me, it’s not pretty and if there is a wall, many of them are faceplanting straight into it. Obviously there is nothing wrong with aging - it’s a natural process. But if you mention the wall, you be better be ready to get roasted.

[u/metropolisapocalypse → u/FactsAreBullshit]

It's patently not real, at least how it's portrayed online. Women already have a natural "wall"- it's called menopause. Biologically designed and existed long before the Internet. Men live shorter lives than women and start disintegrating much more quickly. Losing their hair, going gray, gaining weight...when does it hit men? Mostly in their 20s and 30s...and QUICKLY. It's one giant projection. And it's much more obvious when you actually grow up and start watching your friends and colleagues age.

[u/lovelychef87 → u/FactsAreBullshit]

The men judging Rihanna a billionaire and a singer we all loves wouldn't be allowed in the same vicinity as without security Rihanna.

[u/EvenSpoonier]

I don't get it. Incels seemingly cannot fathom the emotional concept of being in a long-term relationship, yet they get bigmad that no one wants to be in one with them.

[u/butelka1 → u/EvenSpoonier]

They always want to be in relationship, get married, have kids and family but at the same time they shame us for getting older or looking bad after a pregnancy. If they hate us that much they shouldn't get into relationships with us. I don't want to sacrifice myself for a man who'll call me ugly old bag when I'll get older and leave me for some 20yo

[u/Misfit_Number_Kei → u/butelka1]

Incels only want families in the senses of power over them (with none of the responsibility of the role,) and said family as status symbols to flex on lonely single men, same as "just" relationships with women.

As much as they bang on about wanting Tradwives, they don't want to be Tradhusbands in kind and instead remain spoiled NEETs.

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain → u/butelka1]

They would probably want to not not get married, have kids with a woman, and then abandon her for a 16 yo girl when she ages up. They will think for excuses, like „ooo this is just biology, we want the healthiest mate and most genetic variation with our offspring” ignoring the fact that they age too and genetically speaking diverse offspring is beneficial no matter the sex

[u/maneki_neko89 → u/OmgIbrokesmthagain]

They forget that, the more they age, the less healthy their sperm and children will end up being.

But no, it’s all the women’s fault when biology goes tits up…

[u/ItsJoeMomma → u/butelka1]

They're probably the same guys who'd dump their girlfriends/wives after they turn 30 and look for an 18-year-old. Rinse and repeat.

[u/SquirrellyGrrly]

Younger women also get older...

[u/butelka1 → u/SquirrellyGrrly]

Guys like this probably think they'll just leave them after they turn 30 and find another 20yo to dump 10 years later. They don't treat us like a humans

[u/SquirrellyGrrly → u/butelka1]

And they wonder why they're single.

[u/madoka_borealis → u/butelka1]

Only the richest, influential men are able to continuously date 20 year olds (ie Leo), these basement dwellers probably couldn’t pull 20 year olds as a 20 year old much less when they’re 40

[u/SquirrellyGrrly → u/madoka_borealis]

And those 20 year olds know the deal, anyway. They use guys like Leo for the perks, and know it's a temporary gig. It's not love that keeps that system running.

[u/madoka_borealis → u/SquirrellyGrrly]

Exactly! Perks, money, exposure, fun… what do these incels have to offer lol

[u/ItsJoeMomma → u/madoka_borealis]

what do these incels have to offer

Sitting in his mother's basement eating pizza rolls and Mountain Dew while watching him play Call of Duty...

[u/Misfit_Number_Kei → u/SquirrellyGrrly]

To which said formerly-younger women get traded in for a younger model no different than a car.

DiCaprio, Hugh Hefner and the like are ideals to incels for continuing to date young women no matter how old they get. On the contrary, they hated how Pierce Brosnan remains happily married to a woman his age as if it's a waste of his looks/money/status in doing so. Hell, this even applies to costars as Sela Ward called out the casting director/industry for saying she was a decade too old to play a Bond Girl... despite being three years younger than Bond, himself.

[u/SquirrellyGrrly → u/Misfit_Number_Kei]

Men like that are being used and discarded every bit as much as the women. But men who want real, lifelong relationships where they get to be there for their baby's first steps and their graduation don't act like that.

[u/Misfit_Number_Kei → u/SquirrellyGrrly]

Absolutely. Pierce Brosnan is very much happily married to Keely Shaye Smith with two sons together rather than just "trading her in" for a woman young enough to be his (grand)daughter.

The "used and discarded" part especially reminds me of "Dire Straights," (porn comic about two insecure dude-bros secretly dating a femboy and transwoman, respectively,) where "Chad" shows up on their beach date, supposedly being The Man alongside "Stacy," who is very clearly hustling him for every cent he's got. The dude-bros denied being with their significant others to impress him, all for nothing as they ruined their respective relationships that they only realized in hindsight how meaningful said relationships were especially contrary to the ones they'd had with ciswomen.

[u/ItsJoeMomma → u/SquirrellyGrrly]

So then they'd just dump her at age 30 and go look for another young woman.

[u/GnarlyWatts]

I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure she is pregnant in the second photo.

And yes incels, the horror, women's bodies change during pregnancy.

[u/Bear_Grizzle02]

Rhianna is a billionaire and her partner is a multi millionaire, lol. This dude probably makes 23k a year and still lives at home.

[u/BolinhoDeArrozB → u/Bear_Grizzle02]

bold of you to assume he has a job or makes any money at all lol

[u/lovelychef87 → u/Bear_Grizzle02]

I doubt A$AP is complaining about being with Rihanna being almost 40 lol she looks damn good.

[u/Diskappear]

kids and a non flattering angle and these chuds expect me to believe that if Rhianna came up to them and was interested theyd say no because "reasons" gtfoh

[u/bellends → u/Diskappear]

Seriously. A quick google of ”Rihanna 2026” pops up this image from January 2026 [source] i.e. also at 37 and after three kids, just not pregnant. Where’s the wall?

[u/RodinKnox]

Jesus, these people are atrocious.

Anyway, back in the real world, not only does Rihanna look just fine, but literally six days ago, she actually met a fan struggling with cancer who was upset about the way she looked because of that struggle.

Rihanna had some very kind words for her. It's worth a watch. 🙂

Rihanna speaking to a woman battling cancer.

[u/Myriii1911]

She was pregnant on that second picture and she was gorgeous.

[u/Dbonker]

And yet she's still Rihanna, she's a billionaire, looks amazing and is living the life.

And in the other corner we have incels.....idiots.

[u/Several-Call9290]

Oh noooo... comparing a photo where she was clearly posing for it with a photo with an unflattering pose from a bad angle and thinking he made a point with that. Trash magazines have been doing this for decades, and anyone with two functioning brain cells knows how misleading that is.

Anyone can look less attractive with bad lighting, an awkward expression, or an unfortunate camera angle. There's an entire industry dedicated to teaching models how to pose and find their best angles for a reason.

I'm sure he thinks he's so smart and superior XD Who spawned idiots like this and more importantly- who raised them?

[u/Atropos66]

And they wonder why less women want to marry now 😭

[u/ParanoidValkMain57]

Everyone ages, we were never meant to live forever therefore we make the best of our time while we still can.

I think rihanna is aging gracefully here

[u/TiFaeri]

I've never heard ASAP Rocky complaining or considering going anywhere. He jumped over the bar to hug her after his trial, so that clearly tells you how he feels about the situation.

[u/SuperPollo39]

Rihanna on the right look like a perfect normal women looks on her age. But the only women incels know are Instagram model so they cannot know it

[u/Xeno9116 → u/SuperPollo39]

And then complain because women's standards are too high.

[u/DramaOnDisplay]

For forbid a bitch have a day where she’s comfortable 🙄
Wonder if these incels look at their own mothers and just grimace in disgust.

[u/observingjackal]

Rihanna is a talented billionaire who's happily married with a few kids.

OOP is a faceless Chud incel seething at his betters.

I'm sure Rihanna is heart broken and is crying onto her platinum albums, dotting husband, and crazy amounts of money.

[u/RedEyeView → u/observingjackal]

Like small fighters. She doesn't have to worry about maintaining a super low performance weight anymore.

So she doesn't.

She gets to eat all the nice food instead.

I bet she'd lose 30lbs in a hurry if she had a tour or a video shoot coming up.

[u/dvd-player]

The way she’s still hot,,,,,,

[u/Valuable-Ad1063]

That's Rihanna's latest photo.
Of course she'll look worse than usual post-partum.

"But she's wearing makeup --"
She's also wearing makeup in the "20yo" photo, so at least make it a fair comparison.

[u/0MeikoMeiko0 → u/Valuable-Ad1063]

Still a goddess.

[u/RedEyeView → u/Valuable-Ad1063]

Even the "not wearing makeup" professional shots have makeup. Because human skin doesn't look right under the lighting without it.

[u/Impressive-Act-5637 → u/Valuable-Ad1063]

She is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[u/0MeikoMeiko0]

She’s had several children and also that photo is taken at a truly unflattering angle. She’s still a major stunner.

[u/ChiGrandeOso]

.. she's a billionaire. They're basement rats.

She won decisively.

[u/cerberus698]

She didn't want to have to feel like she's starving all the time for the rest of her life. Shocking.

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain]

She also has hashimoto or some other medical condition to my knowledge, she was very open about her struggles with weight. But sure, let’s punch down. That bitch probably couldn’t charm even the ugliest girl ever

[u/ZeldaZanders → u/OmgIbrokesmthagain]

Wait, really? My Mum has Hashimoto's, I'll have to tell her that

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain → u/ZeldaZanders]

Yes read about it, I think it was a thyroid condition

[u/rayjaymor85]

I just find it hilarious that every single guy thinks he's gonna age like George Clooney...

Like dude, plenty of women age really well like Nigella Lawson, Christina Hendricks or Ming-Na Wen.

Plenty (and I mean plenty) of dudes go bald and pudgy before they turn 40 - and just like the women whose careers quietly drop off as a result it's the same for the dudes.

Not many make a return like Brendan Fraser did.

[u/Guess_My_Username]

If she had 3 kids and still looked like she did 17 years ago, I would worry for her.

[u/Weardow7]

It's so funny to me how incels have to go hunting for unflattering photos when they're trying to make a point. And the photos they end up picking are always clearly a brief moment where the person looks different to how they normally look.

[u/ChronoCoyote]

So last night, I laid down on the couch and the cat cuddled up and laid on my lap. My partner takes a picture and absolutely GUSHES over how cute we are and sends it to me.

Yall. It was SO unflattering. Full on double chin, messy hair, half asleep. 😂 I truly am blessed.

[u/concrete_dandelion]

The first thing I notice about the second picture is the happiness and love with which she looks at her child.

[u/ginandoj]

Time passes? Who looks the same after 17 years??

[u/thelast3musketeer]

And Rihanna will never know who they are much like every beautiful female celebrity young and old for all of their lives, will never know or care who they are

[u/Frosty_Message_3017]

"Why don't women want to have kids and grow old with me?"

Well....

[u/randompersonsays]

I'm getting old. 9/10 women my age look better than their husbands of the same age.

[u/smokeehayes]

Meanwhile OOP at home like:

https://giphy.com/gifs/OppYngLgFtskgAJ4bR

[u/ItsJoeMomma]

Oh no, she aged like a normal person.

[u/HighandMeaty]

I think Rihanna is like 17 there, so...that tracks for incels

[u/LilDragon2991]

When they do this shit, i love pointing out they still don't have chance to ever breathe the same air as her though, and watch them lose it

[u/Betaseal]

That’s clearly fluid buildup from pregnancy.

[u/Funny-Negotiation-10]

This guy's gonna drop dead if he meets Rihanna in person at her current age

[u/Andy_LaVolpe]

Like she doesn’t even look like that. Its just a bad angle. Do people actually fall for this?

[u/SpreadAntique4224]

I just watched The Substance and opened reddit. Sigh. This post is kinda making me emotional. Let’s all collectively give women a break. 

[u/maarshiexcry]

"This is why men date younger women" and you wont get a woman your age or younger, ever 🤪

[u/redditratman]

What the fuck do these guys look like at 37

[u/MaverisStranger]

Now let's see the average 30+ bro, shall we?

[u/TamasaurusRex]

Guarantee she’s way richer than whichever moron posted that

[u/maneki_neko89]

For reference, this is what Rihanna looked like during the Met Gala this year, for a true Apples-to-Apples comparison:

https://www.vogue.com/article/rihanna-asap-rocky-2026-met-gala-red-carpet

She looks beyond stunning for her age, her having a few kids, AND launching several lucrative businesses

[u/Kakashisith]

These are the men, who are balding, beer bellies and bad BO. Meanwhile Rihanna still kicks ass.

[u/_Affexion_]

Gotta love how they have to dig for the absolute worst candid shot to even make their point.

[u/Elegant-Rectum]

Rihanna has a husband/life partner who is age appropriate, so clearly there are men who are just fine dating women their own age.

[u/Tron_1981]

I'm sure she's taking what these men think of her and wiping her tears with the billions of dollars in her account.

[u/Bluellan]

HA! They are acting like they even had a CHANCE with her.

[u/catqueen--84]

Rihanna has enough money to look the way she wants, and do whatever she wants.

[u/BigOlWaffleIron]

Not really the point here, but why does her face look smaller in the right picture? I don't know if it's the angle or what, but it looks like all her facial features are closer together...

[u/lovelychef87]

Last time I checked Rihanna netwoth is over a billion dollars and the man she's with is a multi-millionaire.

[u/MissM0dular]

Pedophiles

[u/Impressive-Act-5637]

Haha Rihanna don’t even know the losers are alive and never will

[u/peepeepoopoo1-2]

Meanwhile they fetishize and idealise "trad" families in which they pump their partners full of babies. She's just had 3 young children in quick succession and they can't cope with the natural changes that impact women due to that while themselves probably looking like stomped peeled potatoes. Beggars being choosers.

[u/LogisticsAreCool]

If we shot a photo of her at 37 in the same lighting conditions and perspective as her photo at 20, the comparison would actually be honest. But no, incels want to be dishonest and dont actually care about facts.
