Losing your looks when incredibly good looking

I've aged well, no pot belly, not lost my hair and I've gone craggy in a Clint Eastwood fashion. I get more attention from women now than when I was younger. But I started out pretty fine to begin with.:P I also think that a good-looking woman is good-looking - a woman ages, but if she was fine to start with, she'll still be fine when she's older. Flashes in the pan that look great in their teens are just that, flashes in the pan. They go downhill rapid. A beautiful woman will still be a fox at 50.

....if she looks after herself. Same goes for men. This idea that you can just sit on your laurels into your old age if your hot is not true.



Tbh, as I get older, I'm more concerned about being healthy and living longer than looking "hot". Obviously I want to look nice but being strong and healthy are my biggest concerns now. In my twenties I drank like a fish and smoked and although I wasn't overweight, I wasn't very healthy (although I did eat reasonably well) but I copped on once I hit 30 and quit the fags and cut down on getting baloobas to the extent I did.

Now that I've copped on and know I'm only a mere mortal and am a person who loves life and wants to be around as long as possible, getting some exercise in and eating the right stuff is the very top of my agenda. I'm 33 in a few weeks and the wrinkles are appearing but they genuinely don't worry me. If you look after your health, you generally look good anyway regardless of how attractive you are.


/sanctimonious post.

Where did I say you lose interest in yourself after you have children?? Your looks will fade whether you like it or not and children or not, you will get old and saggy.
Stop spending time looking at yourself in the mirror, the world needs a lot doing in it. There is more to do than preen yourself.

Jaysus and I thought my post was sanctimonious. You're raising your children, not saving the world ffs.

I think I've aged pretty poorly and I never considered myself good looking. I'm 26 and I've greyed quite a lot.

:rolleyes:
What, might I ask, are you doing to save the world? Saving children doesn't count.

Do you know how much time I spend looking at myself?

Ah still a great film though in fairness

What does the 'world need doing'??? You need to love yourself before you can love others. Nobody wants their partner to let themselves go. Nothing wrong with getting older but we should always make the best of what we've got.

Losing your looks?

Genes have a lot to do with looks. My father looks way younger than his years. He's the same weight today as the day he got married - less than 10 stone. He has a lot of grey hairs but his hair still looks dark (I have no idea why). His mother (RIP) was the same way, she died in 1972, with only a few greying ribs in her hair and very few facial lines. Me, I would be totally white hairwise but for the fortnightly visit to the hairdresser. I have a few lines but at 47 I have to accept that I will have them. In fairness I was dealt a good hand gene wise. I don't have a beauty regime - and I still get away with being seen as a little being younger than my age.


So my question is - will genes outweigh a beauty regime?

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?

:D:D:D:D That really made me laugh. Thanks for that.

Erections are not a medical complaint

I can't say I've noticed my looks fading yet, I imagine it could be quite traumatic for some.

....where a young good looking journalist went out on the town and staged a few scenarios looking for help in various tasks one would expect such as hailing a taxi, getting change in a shop, looking for directions from a stranger on the street etc.... As one would expect she was treated with respect and got on OK.

Then the TV make up artists did her up as an old woman and the willingness of people to help her in the various tasks dropped off enormously. She had to ask several people before getting a positive response from mostly older people in the various tasks to be performed. The vast majority of people ignored her.

Thats depressing. I would have thought the result would be like that if an ugly young woman/man was tested against an attractive young woman/man..but Im surprised people treated an elderly lady like that. Even though old people aren't 'attractive' I thought most people generally didn't care about that in old people and treated them with respect.
