Age

I may appear as so much more, unwelcomingly,
and concurrently be less than what you think you see.

You may be grouped with others according to me.
People often try to hide me, women especially.

I'll change your appearance in ways you won't desire,
but if you care for yourself well, I will rise higher.

I keep proceeding ahead and will never go down. 
My pace seems much faster the longer you are around.
