I’ve noticed a lot of Irish men in my age bracket and above looking horrific for their age. No dress sense whatsoever, preferring to dress up in outdated fleeces, terrible fitting jeans that only emphasise their skinny legs and complete lack of an ass, and the ugliest runners they can find. No attempt to maybe start shaving their heads to hide their bald patches and receding hairline peninsulas. So many of them smoke also, helping to prop up the declining tobacco industry by themselves. It’s like a lot of them are stuck in a time long since passed. I wonder are they in bits because they never changed anything about their lifestyle since the 90’s or do they just stop giving a sh!t about themselves once they reach a certain age. I’m 44 now and I’ve had my fair share of injuries and issues but have no intention of ever neglecting myself and letting myself go to this extent. If I did then I would be going down a very bad road for myself physically and psychologically.
It’s great to see that many younger people are becoming a lot more health conscious these days, preferring to hit the gym rather than the pubs. Hopefully they’ll continue well into their 40’s and beyond.
