Losing your looks when incredibly good looking

Three Seasons

What's that like? Are there any lucky boards members with this problem?

I can't really comment as my incredible good looks haven't begun to fade yet.

Is the world a more cruel place as your looks diminish?

Most good looking people remain good looking if they look after themselves.

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

I find it a comfort that my looks can't get any worse than this. Ended up with a face like my scrotum could only be an improvement.

I was a rugged handsome one year old.

By the time I was two I was on the bottle and my looks had wasted away.

It's more a problem for beautiful women than us handsome men. We tend to age well - lines give our faces more character, grey hair gives us gravitas, we become "craggy" rather than cute etc. It's the gorgeous women I feel sorry for - they can't prevent Time turning them into grotesque witch-like creatures.

Luckily, it's not something us handsome men need to worry about. We just dump the obviously-aging 35 year old for one of the gorgeous 25 year olds clamouring for our attention. We continue to do this until we're 50 and then settle down with "the one" - a gorgeous 25yo blonde with whom we have 2 children: hey, it's our duty, the world will always need beautiful people!

Nope, not yet.


I'm aging very well. Everyone is just getting older and older, I'm getting older and better!

Well, when your looks have been described as a crime against humanity then you don't have much to worry about.

I can't say I've ever been burdened with excessive good looks to begin with.

Samantha Brick's looks fading? Impossible!

I don't know how, but once I got past 25 years old I started improving looks wise. Now younger chicks give me shed loads of unwanted attention on nights out and my missus reckons that I'm at my best. I'm having a reverse ageing process

I am literally so ugly that i cant even look in the mirror at myself. I was trying on sunglasses (for driving) just to see how they fitted and the girl in the shop told me to have a look in the mirror, i had to close my eyes and while looking in the mirror and pretend they were really nice.

Ha! Feels for ya, cruisy!

I think for really really stunning women it must be a horrible experience to get old and watch your looks fade. I'm not talking goodlooking girls who were at their physical best at 23 and then gain a little weight and get a few wrinkles, have to deal with grey hair etc. I'm talking about the knockouts who always had people / career opportunities / attention on a large scale as a result of their looks. This is a sweeping statement so please take it with a pinch of salt but many of those females can become even less attractive than their age-similar counterparts as they relied so heavily on their looks before and didn't develop other parts of their personality. We all know really $exy, attractive, witty, stylish, flirtatious people that might not be stereotypically goodlooking, these people will remain hot well into old age. On the other hand if a female is used to attracting mass attention purely based on her looks then there is always going to be an infinite number of younger girls to overshadow her.

I don't agree that all men age well (I've known many a teenage pretty boy hearthrob who became a balding, insipid short watery looking man) but as there is less focus on looks for men, i guess the pressure is not the same. Lots of men 40+ can be very attractive based on charisma, charm, life achievements.

Some looks really suit youth and this applies to both genders IMO; pretty, girly, cute features are lovely on teens - early 20's but after that the more classically handsome features with great bone struture are superior.

I remember reading that women who were very attractive in youth find themselves becoming 'invisible' as they age. They're used to turning heads, getting attention, being served quickly in bars (knocks PrincessPreach's theory on the head) etc.

Then, when they age that all stops. They never realised they were getting special treatment, and find it very hard to cope with the change.

What age would be generally considered 'past your best' for men and women?

I have a face for the radio (or so I've been told). No worries in that department.

I hate having multi coloured stubble, Grey being the dominant colour. I can lose or gain weight very easily so at the moment when the stubble is shaved I'd easily pass as a lad in my early 20's.

I'v grey hair too, I can't stand it but could be worse, Could be bald !!..I keep it short as my eyebrows are very dark.

Grey hair and stubble are very sexy (on a man obviously ).

I'd imagine Justin bieber will get fairly ugly as he grows up.

That's pretty interesting! I've never considered that.

Women? Probably 19. Men 35.

All the good looking girls that were in my class in school years ago are now nothing like they were there no great shakes at all anymore.

Yet the girls that weren't very good looking at all are now stunning.. Weird huh

Hollywood would be the case where older men still get paired up with 21 year old co-stars.
I don't think it matters here in Ireland as men/women get less self-centred and vain when they have kids.

I look more like Sylvester Stallone so losing looks is not a worry for me or having as much skin creams as a woman.

I'd say gaining weight is the biggest factor in people looking less attractive these days. I see lots of people who are a bit overweight that are normal looking but if they were in good shape they'd be pretty hot.

I fear we'll become like America

You have just convinced me to get off my (massive) ass and lose some weight:(

T'is tough seeing yourself age in the mirror. No matter how many anti-ageing creams and potions you get your hands on, the eyes never lie. Those who are botoxed up to the nines always give away their age just be looking at their eyes. I don't think you ever 'lose your looks' if you are good looking. You will always be good looking, just a wiser looker!

ladypip

I know two women who both made it to their fifties and were still amazing looking. One is my mam she got cancer and has since recovered (thank god) but it has taken away her youthfulness, good skin and confidence. The other had a terrible accident which left the right side of her face crippled and her confidence is shattered as well.

It has taken its toll in a big way on both, I think if you spend your whole life with people admiring your looks you subconsciously start to rely on that to make you feel worthwhile and whole.

As you get older and if you have children you see the beauty in them so you are not that concerned about your own beauty as much anymore.

I was quite good looking in my 20's and 30's but now in my 40's looks do begin to fade but it does not matter due to my two beautiful little boys to look at but if you dont have children the scenario might be different.

So you lost interest in yourself after you had children? If a man suggested that happens he'd be lynched.

Or are you suggesting all childless women are self-obsessed?

having children ages you
