It doesn't have to. If you start eating right, doing skin care, wearing sunscreen, and getting moderate exercise you can hold it back a while And there are more intense measures like hrt. But also, it's okay if it does happen :3 aging is a natural process, and you can still be cute :3

Oh cool. But - correct me if i'm wrong - a fundamental component of a search engine is crawling the web to map it out? Surely that's not a DIY activity, so it would be built on top of another search engine? Or is it like, a compressed index of the web stored locally and periodically updated?

I'm about to be gross and treat attractiveness as quantifiable, but It's because we're so online. We see 1% most attractive bodies all the time, soooo on some level we internalise that as "normal/average" and so think our own bodies are uglier than average. At least that's my guess
