kaylan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 You obviously have never seen Lebron James or Greg Oden. Lolz, true. Those men look old as hell for their age. I amend my statement with a clarification that not all black people will look younger than their age.
Desinova Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Lolz, true. Those men look old as hell for their age. I amend my statement with a clarification that not all black people will look younger than their age. Probably just about good genetics and taking care of yourself.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Of course they can. I said YOU can't change other people or the way they think. Yes I understand what you said. However, how I interpreted the entire meaning of your post is that there are no point in talking about certain things because no specific person can "change" someone else or the way they think. Which I disagree with. Maybe that's not what you meant. I think exchange of dialogue is important. I think people can change. I have seen it in myself and I have seen it from others. People that have come into my life that have changed the way I have seen things because of the information they provided or the things we talk about and our collective sharing of life experiences. 1
Citizen Erased Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Leo looks far better now he no longer looks like a girl and Heath was gorgeous until the end. Need your eyes checked much? 4
ScreamingTrees Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I dont agree with the others. I wont be silly and pretend those guys didnt look better younger. Youth is attractive. Tight wrinkle free skin is attractive. Theres a reason those guys were heartthrobs for all the teenage girls and 20-something women when they were in their own teens and 20s. The thing about celebs is a lot of them get into drugs and drink to much. Or they smoke. Hell, in general most people dont take great care of themselves as they get older. Jennifer Aniston might have been sexier to me when she was 25, but shes still hot as hell at 42 because she takes care of that body. Like they say "black dont crack" and Ill be passing for a younger age my whole life as long as I stay healthy. Im glad I have that extra melanin in my skin. PS - Ive always been jealous of Timothy Olyphants genetics. Hes one of those dudes who stay good looking no matter what his age. Plus he takes great case of himself. Lack of self maintenance is definitely the primary culprit of poor aging. You think that infantile looking features are more attractive to the average woman? If a person is attractive in their youth, they can easily be just as attractive with age as long as they take care of themselves. Some younger men aren't even attractive to begin with and lack any distinct facial features. That's why age works in their favor, as it chisels their features and makes 'em look more robust, more masculine. Take any young male model and age them 20 years, and guaranteed their face will look better.

I think a young woman on just looks a lone is more likely to be prettier then an older woman... but not necesarily. As a woman gets older though they become more of a person. There more to attraction then the way a person looks. Like a great stress of younger women is drama and some times a girl who gives lots of drama when young stops when older... although thats no steadfast rule. I would just date women you are attracted to and not worry about if they are young or old. Obvioulsy if you're 19 you're not going to be as attracted to a 35 year old woman as you are to a 25 year old one. So in that sense you'll want youth. Like I said if 17 is the age of consent in NY then feel free to date 17 year olds mr 19 1

Jane2011 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 A couple other female celebs (besides Jen Aniston) who still look very good are Alyssa Milano and Alicia Silverstone. (They're not "old" anyway, but they are in their mid and late 30s and look young.) I agree about black people in general aging well. It's something I've noticed more and more of late. I see black men and women all the time who I think are in their 20s and then I later find out they're in their early 40s. Also, I used to work with a black woman who I pegged for 33 or 34 and found out she was 52! Leonardo DiCaprio was hot when he was younger. He's not as hot to me anymore, but I also don't think he looks 'old'. Just more chubby and round-faced. Heath Ledger still looked good also. I didn't notice a drastic difference in him from 19 to 27 or however old he was.
Anela Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I thought that Jon Tenney, Raymond Cruz, and Gina Ravera from The Closer, were all younger than they really are. Kyra Sedgwick looks good, too, and I would never have guessed that the man who plays Tao is around sixty-years-old.
RedRobin Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) You should! Don't knock it until you try it. Young men are my honey. It has been awhile since I went down that path. I don't know what your relationship goals are... but I'm not interested in a fling. My personal experience and everything I've read here seems to indicate that is what most younger men are looking for with an older woman. Not all of them though. I think I could stand to open up my mind a bit and not assume all of them just want to get their learn on. I've pushed two away who sincerely cared for me. (not counting Ryan Gosling, ha ha). I've had younger than him hit on me. Edited April 3, 2012 by RedRobin
PinkInTheLimo Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Just this weekend I saw an episode of Brothers & Sisters with... ROB LOWE!!! OMG, that man still looks so good it hurts my eyes. Don't know if he does botox but what a handsome devil he still is. BTW, both Lowe and Calista Flockhart are born in 1964 so it is nice to see that for once a couple in a television series are actually the same age. Both look great (but then everyone born in 1964, just like yours truly).
PinkInTheLimo Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Well... if this thread is sarcastic... I'll dive in... On the same page I read FitChick's link above, I found this about Minnie Driver. 42 with a recent baby. Isn't dating the 52 yr old BF anymore and is now dating a pretty hunky 31 yr old model. Minnie Driver frolics in the Caribbean with her toyboy boyfriend and son Henry... a month after father's identity is revealed | Mail Online Things that make you go "hmmmm". Maybe I should ditch my moral standards and just be hittin' the youngins near me. This is so hypocrite: "Driver has been dating 31-year-old Felker for several months now, and the pair seemed to be enjoying spending time together, despite their ten year age gap". Now would that ever been said if the woman was 31 and the man 42? The only time something would be said if it would be "the pair seemed to be enjoying spending time together, despite having NO age gap." 1

There is only so much we can do to change society though. As I mentioned in the other thread, all that has gotten to me, I think... way more than should be necessary. I've turned away some decent guys because of it. I think what we sometimes get pissed about, and take as 'entitlement' from men regarding age, is that they confidently go after what they want. Sure, some of them are a-holes about it. We know what that looks like and we can avoid them. As far as confidently going after what we want... We women can do that too. And grow our own spine and flip the proverbial bird to anyone who would tell us otherwise. Minnie doesn't seem too bothered by it

And honestly, she does not look older than the guy she's with. RedRobin, I get what you say about men not giving a damn and just going for what they want. That we have to give to them. A guy may be an absolute loser but if he is selfconfident he will think he can get a topmodel. Men are very good at overrating themselves, women at underrating themselves. I don't not principly exclude being with a younger man but just like you I would be sensitive to the remarks of other people. One thing which would haunt me is that when my relationship would break up, too many people would be whispering "Didn't she see that coming?" behind my back. At the same time I have noticed a few times that some younger guy had a bit of respectful crush on me and I sometimes wonder if I should not have explored it a bit further. Since so many men my age give me the cold shoulder in OLD, would I not be better off with a younger guy who truly respects me for what and who I am?

I think we could afford to take a page out of their books in that respect. There is no benefit to downplaying ourselves. Confidence at any age is sexy. I'd say we are all best off with someone who can respect us for what and who we are. 1
sid3 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Confidence at any age is sexy. Not true. The clock ticks for everyone. Confident or not, sexiness has an expiration date I say go get one of them youngins

And you get mean and and personal. And you tenaciously pursue those people trying to change their pov. Pot meet kettle? You seem close minded to me too.
Feelin Frisky Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Still waiting for DiCaprio's voice to change. (But he doesn't look like an old man and 35 is prime, not old). You must be young. You'll change soon enough.

sid3 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 ... I'm damn sexaaay... Yeah, yeah....so we've been told. Ok, I take it back, maybe it really isn't all down hill from here. Although confident or not, few see sexy at sixty. Maybe, if they were to wear something slutty to bingo.

They seem to think they are sexy for some reason. ...but going back to your earlier post... I might just go after one of those youngins. Yep. Not because my 'clock is ticking', but because I may be legitimately passing up someone who I'd be compatible with. Edited April 3, 2012 by RedRobin
kaylan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Lack of self maintenance is definitely the primary culprit of poor aging. You think that infantile looking features are more attractive to the average woman? Lets be real...the average hot young women in their teens and 20s definitely likes the hot young guys her age more than the over 30 club. If this werent true, then the over 30 guys would be the heartthrobs more often...but in reality that isnt the case. Also, Im going by what I see in the club and bar scene. The young attractive guys do better than the older guys, even if the older guys are attractive. A lot of young women will feel that an older guy is being creepy by hanging around a crowd much younger than he is. If a person is attractive in their youth, they can easily be just as attractive with age as long as they take care of themselves. Some younger men aren't even attractive to begin with and lack any distinct facial features. That's why age works in their favor, as it chisels their features and makes 'em look more robust, more masculine. Take any young male model and age them 20 years, and guaranteed their face will look better. Thats your opinion. But if popular culture has showed us anything, its that guys definitely have more hot women after them in their younger days than in their older days. I barely hear any young women talk about Leo Dicaprio anymore. Now they want the young twilight guys. So again...lets be real here. Youth is attractive, even though its been pummeled into our heads in recent times, that guys need to be older and chiseled. This is a recent thing...because for the longest time in human history, beautiful guys were being admired too....hell its come back into style with all the metro and model-ish dudes running around. But to each their own. I love my boy-ish looks =)

I just wish you would give it a rest once in a while. Or talk about subjects that don't end up circuitously getting around to how superficial men are and how heinous male sexuality is.
