You know that photo has been highly retouched/photoshopped, right? |
Would you rather drive a 2000 Mercedes with 200K on it or a 2024 Mercedes with 0 mile? Women in their 50s are like 2000 Mercedes with 200K on it. |
You are vile. |
But he is not wrong. |
Actually a little bit older (60's) and saw a 70 year old woman who is stunning. And I understand that most women in my age group are not going to be college hardbodies. |
He is wrong because he’s deluded that 50 yr old men are somehow better than 50 yr old women. |
Not sure how you know his age? And yes, the analogy/ question applies to both sexes. |
Don’t be dense. That was written to antagonize 50+ year old women. That’s stuff delusional old guys do. |
I was just in NYC. So many gross people! |
Also incels like JD Vance as a way to insult younger women by taunting that they will “lose their value” by not behaving appropriately in their 20s. |
Gillian Anderson hopes to look like this, too! |
I can hardly wait. |
So you admit you are antagonized by a true statement. So sorry. |
All things being equal - regular exercise, good diet, no smoking - it's easier for a good looking 25 year old man to become a good looking 50 year old man as long as he continues with a healthy lifestyle. I think it's much tougher for a good looking 25 year old woman to become a good looking 50 year old woman - even with a continuous healthy lifestyle.
But there are plenty of exceptions. Gillian Anderson was and remains a beautiful woman. But what we see in Hollywood has never been reflective of what we see at the school pick up line. It's easier for 50 year old men who do the basic work - run, lift, eat well, avoid alcohol, do some yoga, get 8 hours of sleep, and dress reasonably well - to get second and third looks at the grocery store. While that remains true for some women, the luck of the genetic lottery factors much more prominently when it comes to who looks good going into their 50s. So getting back to the original point, there are a lot of men that will find Gillian Anderson very attractive. But she's not typical for a woman in her 50s. It's much easier for a man to be a George Clooney or Daniel Craig in their 50s, then it is for a woman to be a Selma Hayek or Elizabeth Hurley in their 50s. |
It’s not that men inherently “age better”. It’s that society, tv, movies, etc, has portrayed the aging man as still attractive. Whereas, an aging actress gets replaced by a younger one more readily while the same age man is still a lead character. Those magazines with “sexiest men” columns always have older men pictured. But the sexiest women ones are all young, bikini bodied women. This has completely infiltrated the psyche of society. |
