Take out men and replace it with women, I sure would like to know where those women are!!
I am currently online dating, and you would not believe the most negative posters out there trying to get a date. Why can't I find a man? All men want is sex! How many men are going to lie and cheat?? Etc, I tell you it feels GREAT to be generalized..i tell ya.
Some people I think deserve it. Had one telling me that spill, I told her give me a chance. Let me prove to you I am not like the rest. Well, she talked to me and then slowly ghosted away. So a person like that WANTS to be treated that way and they WANT the drama.
I don't, you reap what you sow, and get what you look for. Enough said.
But isn't this more about the way the women are acting, and not about how they're aging (per this thread)?
Even the way they're acting isn't down to aging, so...
I'm close to 50 and my take is when I was younger it seemed the women aged worse than the men but now it seems the other way around. I often joke to friends that the women my age are the "best looking generation of middle aged women in human history".
As for the guys, I think one factor is they are fatter than ever. But one factor may involving the whole "losing one's hair" thing. When I was a kid, a significant number of guys covered that up with toupees and such and despite the jokes about them often if they spent the money and didn't "go cheap" they were good enough that most honestly couldn't tell (or they somewhat could but it still looked alright). Nowadays, more just "let it go" or shave their heads. The former obviously looks "older" but the latter may or may not depending on the guy's head shape, skin condition, etc. and even if it it looks "old" per se, it may not be considered to be an "old, tired look" (a lot of people consider even older people with shaved heads to look pretty "badass", think Vin Diesel or Jason Statham for example, who are both close to 50 by the way).
I keep saying it but we, gen- xer women are aging very well due to technology and awareness of skin cancer. Compare actresses of gen-x with boomer actresses at age 50 and the difference is the skincare. Plus, we are so much more knowledgable about food and quality of food. I plan on looking good with my gen- xer hubby till our 70's!!! Woot!
There are so many cute guys of all ages here in SoCal. Come on down, Ruth!
It's not that they're not aging, per se, it's more that they tend to keep their sense of fun, they keep dressing cute...it's a collection of things.
With Nashville being a rapidly growing city with transplants from all over, there ARE attractive men aged 45+ here. Even then, though, I and other women I know find many of them are easily discouraged and offended. They really do often seem to be intimidated by good-looking, fit women their own age.
I think it goes back to something Liberty recently said in this thread or another: when people meet women over a certain age who've taken care of themselves and look good (here on CD, that age seems to be, like, 30 ), it seems to stymie their preconceived notions of what women are supposed to look like at age 40, or 50, or 75.
god, in his infinite wisdom,,,, or maybe he has a sense of humor
but guys vision starts going downhill over 45..
about the time women start to look their age ...
also , the sense of "old" or what looks "old" is contemporary with age
for ex if I'm 25 I can usually tell the difference between a 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 45 yr old women
and the 45 yr old woman looks older to me
while as a 50 yr old man,,,the young flowers look pretty good and maybe the 45 yr old lady looks just as good...
I'm sure its the same with women,,,, to some extent
ive got a theory when it comes to aging....I remember 30-40 yrs ago my sister and I looking at old family photos...... someone 40 or 50 really looked old comparatively,,,,it could be because she had a dozen kids...or he was in a war or smoked all his life..
but these folks had a much harder life than we do today and they probly had may more diseases too
the 40-50 yr old generation should look about the youngest of all times,,,probly had comparably easier lives/work,,,,,,didn't smoke for 30 yrs,,,didn't eat 10lbs of lard a month
and stopped worshipping the sun..
40 yrs ago all the women layed out in the sun,,,,you could smell coppertone in every neighborhood
I don't understand why we always have to do this. This is not directed at you, OP, but just in general, why do we always have to have these wars between the sexes where we tear each other apart, discussing who gets older- and uglier-looking first? Same goes for other arguments between the sexes over basic things, differences between us that we don't necessarily have any control over.
