Ok, so on AOL’s starting screen they have a picture of Joan Collins. In her younger days she was a pretty attractive woman but those days have passed. Now she’s had plastic surgery so many times I think she’s rather scary looking. And damn it every time I close a window in AOL I’m greeted by her plastic looking smiling face. I’ll have nightmares now.
What ever happened to aging gracefully? I don’t have a problem with people looking their best and leading active healthy lives. But when you’re 65 you need to stop trying to look as sexy as you were when you were 25. That goes for guys to. Some of you gals might think Connery is handsome but if he took off his shirt you’d see spots and little man boobs.
I dunno. Clint Eastwood is pushing 70, yet his bare ass looked pretty fine in Space Cowboys, as did that of Tommy Lee Jones. I’d do either one of them in a New York second, and take my Texas time . I will admit that James Garner and Donald Sutherland were far, far, less attractive in the buff.
True, it would be disconcerting to see a woman in her 60s dress like Britney Spears, but I don’t think one should automatically say that being older makes you unsexy. After all, barring accidents or disease, we will all some day be old people, and I, for one, would hate to have automatic retirement from from sexual flirtation. I am reminded of the French courtesan Nino De L’Enclos, who seduced men well into her 70s, or Michael Douglas, who knocked up and married a woman 30 years his junior.
And if a man works out consistently, he need not have man-boobs. There are plenty of older men with great physiques, like Ed Corney, Frank Zane, or Bill Pearl, all bodybuilders over 50.
Have you seen Joan Rivers lately?
She’s doing a commercial for disposable kitchenware (Gladware?) and she is positively scary. Her face is way too smooth for someone her age. Her eyes are pulled way up, almost slanted, but not Asian-looking, just really weird-looking.
The IMDB lists her birth year as 1933, which makes her 68, but I think she’s probably a few years older.
Oh for fucks sake Marc, age has nothing to do with being sexy. I know some pretty homely young people and some damn fine looking older people. I would do Sean Connery in a heartbeat, little man boobs and all!
I’m 39 years old - which I still consider quite young. I have date men who are much younger and others who are much older, but all in all I tend to be attracted to men who are 10 to 20 years older than myself.
Sexy has as many definitions as there are opinions.
One look at Joan Rivers will show you that plastic surgery can go a little too far, but just as I have my nails done and style my hair, I may have some “work” done later in life. Why not? Does turning 60 or 70 or even 90 automatically mean you should lose pride in your looks? Hell, my 100 YEAR OLD GREAT GRANDMOTHER insisted on wearing her makeup every day until her death! Another grandmother promised to haunt us if we buried her without her hair done. Both were beautiful women!
Too funny. Reminds of Eddie Murphy acting like what Mr. T would be like if he was gay. “Oh yea boy slow down you’ll come too fast.” That just cracked me up. Supposably Mr T didn’t think that was too funny.
As the un-greatest generation reaches retirement age(s) we can expect to be inundated with all sorts of “old is beautiful” propaganda as only the baby boomers are capable of.
“Never trust anyone under 60” will become the new mantra.
“What if they gave a bingo and nobody came…” etc.,
. I will admit that James Garner and Donald Sutherland were far, far, less attractive in the buff.
