[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going to break it to you gently, but what you're seeing is the toll that age takes on the body.  The truth is that even among those of us who stay fit, for both men and women, physical attractiveness diminishes with age.  Now, this might not apply so much to movie stars (Cloooney-- in his late 40s, I believe -- and Jeff Bridges-- a decade older, possibly more -- both looked fabulous at the Oscars), but it does apply to the rest of us.  Honestly, I'm 50 and for a man in my age range, if he's still got his hair, waistline, and sanity (no middle-age crazies need apply), he's gonna be surrounded by women at your neighborhood cocktail party or on the sidelines at at the varsity soccer game.

Really, it doesn't matter how studly they were in their salad days, this is the truth . . .and perhaps more so for men. I think the men often let themselves go.  (Sorry, Southern dad, but I gotta call 'em as I see 'em.)  Here's an example, about a year ago I went up to NYC for a professional conference and opened up the program to find that one of the key speakers was the guy who was the cutest senior boy when I was a high school freshman.  I'm talking quarterback, star of the spring musical, homecoming queen's escort;  you get the picture.  I couldn't wait for his appearance at the conference.  Well, when he tood the podium, I discovered that he looked . . .OK, just OK.  (Though he was a great speaker and is very accomplished in the field.)

So, if there's not much eye candy at this point in life, what attracts?  Again, hair, waistline, sanity and . .. sense of humor.  Really, the dad surrounded by moms at my son's soccer game earlier this week was once quite good-looking (you can see it in the son), but what he's got going for him now is that he's absolutely so much fun to talk to (hair and waistline are still there, so that helps as well.)  Lucky for me, I'm married to him.     [/quote]
