Some people get asymmetrical aging due to their daily commutes to and from work at the same time of day.

I'll just age everything evenly by never closing my sunroof shade.

I can't think of any regular lopsided exposure

driving?
etilmorfin OP t1_jeenxkw wrote
I rarely do, and also it'd be the other side
iamthecaptionnow t1_jef21nk wrote
regularly passenger?
etilmorfin OP t1_jefunk5 wrote
Commuting, no fixed route or schedule
iamthecaptionnow t1_jegft66 wrote
well this is ripe for scientific analysis. what if you subconsciously prefer passenger side vs driver side, or everyone else prefers driver side leaving you only able to use passenger side? lets ask the NSA politely for all their archived footage of your commutes so we can tally things.

or ultimately if that theory is disproven, but you have a large, pale, and maybe otherwise indistinguishable birthmark over half your scalp….

Fascinating idea
Karzul t1_jeexfgn wrote
Very interesting. I also have a left/right split where I have more hair growth on the right side of my body than my left side. I wonder if that will also lead to different ageing?

You still have more hair than I do despite the fact that we have the same beard.
I'm almost jelly.
etilmorfin OP t1_jeedxys wrote
Definitely in the genetic sweet spot for having both. We'll see how much of it remains after 40 though

Does the beard follow a similar pattern of greying?
etilmorfin OP t1_jeeukjh wrote
It doesn't, only a few white hair, here and there, without an obvious pattern. That would be nice.

I had a beard for many years, but it started turning grey (only the beard, not the hair on my head). The color change was not at all symmetrical, so I shaved it off, and now I look 10 years younger.

I know some diseases can cause one side of the body to not grow at the same rate as the other. Maybe you have a super minor version of this and your older side is only a couple years older lol

Are you perhaps related to Cruella de Vil?

Eh, your stylist was in control of that conversation… a few brush strokes towards the right and your post would be about how your left side ages…
also, brain dominance contributes to there being differences to the left and right side.
etilmorfin OP t1_jeg2jh3 wrote
Are you saying my logical side is "too old for this shit"?
Free_Instruction6888 t1_jeg6rfk wrote
In a ‘roundabout way, yes.
More focus, more use, more blood flow, faster metabolic process… .

Makes sense

What have you got, kind of a ‘neo-skunk’ thing going for ya?

That's actually awesome
badchad65 t1_jeg8tcb wrote
I have something similar. Half of my body is slightly “different”. My skin tone is slightly darker, the hair grows a bit differently, and now that I’m in my mid 40s, may hair is thinning a bit differently.
My eyes even see slightly different colors (my left eye views colors more “warmly” with a redder tint).
None of this is noticeable to anyone but me. Thought i was the only one!
