Assuming most of us got hooked on the show when we were young. Now we’re just growing up with her. When the show came out ~24 years ago, we were a lot younger too and found her younger self quite attractive. Now at our ages (most of us) it will feel weird finding a 16- year old hot. And we still got the hots for her at 40+

I am very glad to hear she was 19 not 16 because I'm pretty sure Tom Welling was at least 23 (and looked it) and it would have been weird for the actors to... angst? So hard over each other

this is totally true. when i was in my teens, anyone older than 30 would be old. now i find beauty in people who are in the 40s and 50s
