What age do men seriously stop asking for number?

[Pompeii]

I think you're wrong. Men age differently from women. As men get older they become more desirable for the young chicks. Michael Douglas married a woman 30 years his junior, didn't he? And Adele chose to have her baby with a guy 15 years her senior. The truth is, more and more young women are finding themselves considering older guys for dating. Why?? Simply because they get better treatment from those guys. An older guy is more likely to find what he wants as he gets older, whereas women have to make do with what's left -- I find most women in her mid-40's totally hideous (with very little exceptions).

 

 

Eh... The problem a lot of people have is they look at high status people such as actors, musicians, etc. that look great when they're in their 40s and project "that's what I'm going to be like". No. Those people in Hollywood or where else look great because their lifestyles are completely different from the average person. The average person works 7-8 hours, five days a week, week in week out. Musicians and actors usually have a crunch-time scenario in which they work endlessly for a couple of months then go on a tour where they're on stage for an hour or two a day. These people eat the best food, which is sometimes prepared for them by their own personal chef. They live safe from harm in gated communities. Their kids are taken care of when they're away and when they're home, they spend quality time with them. Many of their days are spent idly by shopping or doing personal advancement. How much time does the average American get for those? More often than not, these people also have "good genes" which means they may not age terribly. The average American has too many stressors to age as gracefully as some people they see on the screen. Look at Brad Pitt. He looks amazing at his age. How many people hit the genetic lottery like Brad Pitt?

 

Most guys simply DON'T have the amount of wealth, looks, status, or power to attract younger women. The ones that do - inevitably do. However, this lie that is perpetrated that older men age gracefully needs to stop. Most men deteriorate terribly as they age. It just isn't in the cards for most guys.

Is 6 her actual number, or the number she said to try and save face? 6 isn't bad for anyone who's past early 20's at all.

No, 6 was never her exact number. She was within the 2 digit. That's the answer she gave him the first time he asked her but somehow he asked again after 3 years.

We will see how you look in your mid forties. By the sounds of it , you don't even look good now. Im sure young chicks will be all over you when you're approaching 50.

 

The fact that you insult me without even knowing me reveals that you are just a sad cow with a chip on her shoulder... I wouldn't be surprised if you were in fact post-menopausal.....

Hit a nerve there, did I? You know I was right!

They are babies emotionally and they have egos.

 

So when are you going to start a cat collection? Because based on what I've seen from you, that sounds like the road you're heading.

I am 34 and am in better shape than I was 10 years ago and the physical results prove it. I am not chasing after 21 year olds but I certainly have gotten better. Can't speak for anybody else.

I don't ask for such information and, frankly, I never will.

 

The only time where I do need to know is when that person is still a part of your current life.

Look, I am almost in my mid-40's and most people I meet take me for someone in his mid-30's tops. I am not an actor, I don't have a personal chef, and I look after myself most of the time. However, I do not smoke or drink alcohol (and never did) and I've always been into sports. You believe what you want, but how you age depends on you, not on your genes. Eat healthy, sleep well, and do physical exercises every day. Then you'll see the results and maybe can talk more about this.

 

I do believe that most men age a lot better than most women......

I don't think one gender ages better or worse than the other. The only people who say this are usually sexists.

[pbjbear]

Men dont objectively age better than women. They are just judged much less harshly for smaller signs of aging than women are. Women are valued primarily for their looks so any small decline in their looks is judged more harshly

[Apolodor]

OK, fine, we then agree to disagree......

Ok, you must keep in mind that you are not most people. The average American diet is ****. To be honest. Not only that, but the lifestyle is relatively sedentary as well. Most people in their late 30s and 40s don't keep up with keeping in shape. I can walk into any office building on a Monday morning and I can pretty much guarantee that I can pluck 7/10 men that have either thinning hair, baldness, a beer gut, or some other detriment that age took a toll on them for. Health related issues such as diabetes and obesity would be higher in the southern regions, pretty high in the mid-Atlantic, and less prevalent in the Northeast, Northwest, and West Coast.

 

Men can get by more easily on looking terrible because their attractiveness to the opposite sex isn't entirely based on looks. Why do you think women fear aging? Everyone typically looks worse as they age, it's just that women are more dependent on their looks to attract others, that's why its more noticeable in them.

 

If you're in your mid-40s, I wouldn't doubt that a lot of your contemporaries have let themselves go.

It doesn't matter to me, past is past, now is now. As long as her vag doesn't look like one of those blown tires you see on the side of the highway I'm fine.

[KungFuJoe]

Men don't age better than women. Look at women like Sophia Loren, Morgan Fairchild, Diane Lane, Salma Hayek and the one woman that seems to have defied time...Raquel Welch.

 

It just matters on how well you take care of yourself. My wife is 36 and she still looks just as good as when she was 26 (and I already posted pics to prove it).

There will be a break in the action while moderation works through the pissing contest. Thanks.
