Because it sucks growing old. When you look younger, you feel younger and feel better about yourself.

Sexual attraction is closely related to procreation. Young and healthy individuals have greater reproductive potential. We are attracted to youth because we are hard wired to seek fertile partners who will help us produce more and healthier children. Even people who have no interest in having children are guided by the instinct to seek fertile partners.

We get especially sucked into that kind of materialist addiction to “stuff” when we feel cut off from one another and spiritually and emotionally unfulfilled - and the search for happiness-by-consumption just increases our alienation.
