There are very few gorgeous women at 25 that look better at 45, whereas G Clooney was a very good looking man at 25 he would be considered better looking in his 50's.

I think regardless of gender if someone has really looked after themselves they are attractive at almost any age. I'd be more attracted to a 40 or 50 year old woman with great muscle tone (indicating discipline, self respect and willpower at a minimum) than to a teenage hottie whose greatest physical achievement was being born. Hell this is a 77 year old I'd have no difficulty with.

You can't do a whole lot with your face over time, but there's no reason for the rest of your body to become unattractive. It just gets more difficult to maintain the standard over time.

In fairness, pretty boys never get better with age. It's always the men who weren't that great when they were younger who improve with time.

This is good to hear.

Holy shi*t!......thats some going(but then as the fella says "black dont crack",look at Obama or Will Smith to just name two off the top of my head,the black folk age remarkably well in fairness.......presuming they were good looking to begin with of course)


I agree with the rest of your post,looking after yourself is essential from about your late 20s on i think,your body cant do it as effortlessly anymore
I was only discussing this with a mate recently,how hard it must be to go from being a beautiful or good looking woman to just....average after the years pile up,not nearly as bad for men i reckon,men can get away with a lot more(dont blame me!)smoking is big part of people losing their looks,i always shake my head when i see a hottie smoking,shes gonna regret that down the line,Irish diet is a disaster too of course

On the plus side for myself i finally grew out of my baby face over the last couple of years(yeaah!).......but my hair is now slowly(but surely:()receding......ffs,cant win

Oi! Leo is still a massive big ride

I do think Leo looks better now than he did in his Titanic days. He's doing more serious roles now and is not just a pretty boy. I've started to like Leo ever since his role in the Departed.

^Obama looks really old since he became the president...

He's aged yes but id have to disagree that he looks "really old",he looks in great shape for a 50 year old,i dont know any 50 years who look that good! he clearly looks after himself and it shows,he could pass for 10 years younger imo,id be very happy if i was in a similar condition at 50

SNAP he's a fantastic actor who sadly does not get the respect he deserves

Agreed, but I think it would require nothing less than a public distancing from his Titanic role if he wanted the kind of respect you think he deserves.

It'll never happen though, that film made him and now he has to live with that pretty boy girl hair teen fluff image for the rest of his days.
Think either of the Twilight fags twenty years down the line trying to be taken seriously in more mature roles. Doesn't matter if they become good actors.
You'll still always be that sparkly little creampuff from that moronic soft porn for teenage girls/creepy oul ones.

Though I'm sure their vast wealth will ease the pain somewhat.
