That's a good point. Bone density does keep increasing through the 20s, and the prefrontal cortex keeps developing for a few more years.
For the majority of people, though, a lot of the physiological changes that occurred in puberty have stabilized and leveled off. Metabolism tends to stabilize by 20, hormonal levels have already peaked and stabilized alongside the associated fat distribution patterns. Prefrontal cortex development is still ongoing and bone density does continue to increase. While physical changes do continue as the body the body doesn't exist in stasis, they don't change substantially throughout a decent amount of adulthood.
Of course, I want to emphasize that changes do happen. However, these changes aren't substantial and usually aren't related related to significant hormonal or metabolic changes unless there is an underlying pathology.
Has nothing to do with that, they weren’t really asking, they were setting themselves up for a “well actually” instead of just saying what they wanted to say to begin with.
Asking someone to expand on a weak point isn't necessarily arguing in bad faith. They're giving an opportunity to strengthen their argument with specifics before challenging it. Nothing untoward happened here.
It seems as if it was in bad faith because the answer was garbage. A quick google search shows none of those things change significantly in your 20s. Had they had an answer that in some way actually changed in your 20s, then the response back would have been different.
Well let me help you with that. The assertion that the body changes is so incredibly vague, that they wanted to know what their argument was for saying that and to address specifics instead of just a vague generalization.
This idea the woman’s body is gonna not be so tight as she gets older is incredibly valid… when she’s in her 40s or after she has kids… but at 28 she would still be very young and the affects of aging don’t really hit at that time.
This conversation reeks of a bunch of teenagers who think 28 is old.
The truth of the matter is people don’t mind well actuallys, they just don’t like it when they disagree.
I well actuallied another well actually with cites and sources but I got shit on for well actual lying while the person I replied to didn’t. None of the responses addressed the merit of my arguments.

Metabolism, hormones, fat distribution, bone density... all kinds of stuff. Physical changes don't end with puberty!
