Relax - you can enjoy being middle aged...

[Chavster]

A new report has suggested that middle aged men are staying attractive for much longer, with stigmas being lifted from grey hair and bald heads.

Research has suggested that men are able to remain very attractive to women up to the age of 55. This is compared to 30 years ago when men would start to lose their appeal 10 years earlier, at the age of 45.

The study for Debenhams (a department store chain) suggests that increased efforts to dress well and keep fit are helping older men to turn heads. The department store conducted a survey of around 1,000 female shoppers between the ages of 18-65.

These findings may have been influences by older stars such as George Clooney and Pierce Brosnan, who are 49, and 57 respectively. Leading men such as Jason Statham (who??) and Vin Diesel are also famed for their hairless look, and this may have influenced these new findings.

“Older men are now remaining more attractive to women for longer than ever before. They are increasingly seen as eligible, prospective partners rather than old bores with little energy left to catch the female eye” said Ruth Attridge, who is a spokeswoman for Debenhams.

Mrs Attridge quipped that “it's great news for George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but might not make that much difference to Bruce Forsyth (a 700-year old British comedian/dancer/'singer').”

This is perhaps good news for a large number of men. A recent study has revealed that hair loss is one of the main issues that concern older men. The survey of around 2,000 men revealed that only going grey worried men more than baldness.

This is perhaps understandable, considering that a large number of men will experience hair loss in their lives. It is believed that 1 in every 2 men will suffer from male pattern baldness as they get older. Anybody who is concerned about hair loss and baldness are advised to talk to a medical professional about any issues.

OR ALTERNATIVELY THEY CAN JUST SHAVE IT OFF!!

He!! yea, it's very true! 60 yoa is the old 45...I get all kind of looks and waves from perdy young thangz as I ride around...makes me feel good and tingle all over. All is good until I get out of my rig and they run away.

That big huh?

Sounds tome like Debenhams commissioned the study to try and convince middle-aged men to shell out for new wardrobes.

[Chavster]

Not that they'd have anything anyone wants to buy. The stuff they sell is generally dorky and old school

OK, so I'm 58 with MPB and what little hair I do have is gray. I guess, according to Debenhams, I should probably consider going out to my garage and hanging myself with an extension cord.

Gee, I never thought being middle-aged was that bad.  Thank goodness Debenham's commission a study to tell me that it was bad, but it's getting better.  Would Debenham's perhaps be run by a bunch of very insecure middle-aged men?

I posted once before that my wife's grandmother was in her late 90's when she started a sentence with, "now that I'm getting a little older..."  There was a person who didn't let the number of years she had lived define her "age"!  By the way, she lived to be 102 and to the end was in full charge of her mental faculties - we should all be so fortunate!

I truly feel that you must keep doing the things that you enjoy, stay active doing things to improve your life and the life of others...exercise the mind and learn a new language, go to a country that is demonized by our government and find the truth. It all makes life worth living. I met a 92 yoa US woman in Nicaragua during their revolution, she was on vacation...she told me that travel is boring and useless if you don't go somewhere important. She was very politically active (maybe in Seattle) until she was near 100. I really believed her and it works for me...life is good.

[Chavster]

maybe in Seattle

 

[Slynito]

Yes, I think she was from Seattle, WA, USA...we met in the '80s so it's been awhile. If you care I may be able to find her obit. It's a transcript of a radio program dedicated to her rich life.
