Politicians have their souls sucked out.

Plastic surgery/facelifts/botox, hair dye, makeup, and favorable lighting can make all the difference. You'll eventually look like an inhuman ghoul, but you'll be the sexiest 60 year old for a short while.

also being rich af helps on its own.

Someone needs to get Hank Azaria to play Rudy Giuliani in a biopic.

From what I've heard bread Pitt is bald. I mean if they didn't have the Hollywood money, guys like Pitt would look like the rest of us

bread Pitt

You might be thinking of Brad Pita.

I guarantee you he has plugs, now the question is does that qualify as bald? I mean, if he went bald and had it surgically altered so he's now not, is he or isn't he? Modern day philosophy and shit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

I shave my head, but I still refer to myself as a natural bald.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Lets say that if he has to take finasteride and/or minoxidil every day to stop the baldness then then he has alopecia, but not a bald head.

If you go through a hair transplant you need to take medication every day, if not, you'll eventually lose the hair.

Plastic surgery is the real ship of Theseus

That clean Midwestern living really ages ya.

This blows my mind!

I think that's just how normal human being aged without plastic surgery or cosmetic enhancements.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's selection bias... They are some of the best looking famous people in the world, no surprise they remain some of the best.

They're also like 2ft tall, so age gradually.

Can comfirm my 3x great grandfather was like five four or some shit and looked like he was 40 when he was 70. Mind you he fed on the souls of anglo americans and mormons but still.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

And lots of plastic surgery.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, one of them is an abusive drunk, one is a cult member who has multiple ex-wives who've basically fled the marriage, and one is Tim Walz. Think I'd pick Walz.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 week ago (5 children)

My main takeaway is cults and alcohol abuse makes you look young.

But having a loving fulfilling life makes you oh so fuckable. 🤤

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I already own a distillery. Just gotta start a cult and I will become Keanu

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

The average cultist in d&d has more health and stats than regular commoners

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Having enough money for regular treatments, enhancements and top quality plastic surgeons.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, money makes you look young, but it also seems to turn a lot of people into real assholes. Tbh, though, I think people are mistaking handsome for youthful - I don't really think either of them look any younger in the face than Walz, it's just the hair.

60, 60, 62

If you're lucky enough to have all your original hair and teeth at 60, and don't let yourself go to shit, this is easily doable. Here's me (53) at a costume party last weekend.

Lemmy: "No one can do this without money!!!"

Uh, no. A little luck and a lot of self-care is more like it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Dude wear suits always, that shouldn't be a costume lol them sumbitches work for you. Man I should get into suits myself tbh, I'm getting gray and I think it's about time lol.

You were not bad in Lost and Succession but you really should be ashamed of yourself for the Short Circuit movies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I'm 40 and clearly balding since mid 30s. It sucks and I thought I wasn't vain enough to care.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're doing great. Keep up the good work, but 53 is not 60, or 62. There is definitely a magnitude difference there.

I do my fair share of swiping right and left. I am and enjoy the older crowd, so my filters reflect that. The difference is usually easily observable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I agree, 45-55 looks similar but somehow 55-65 usually doesn't. It's a change like adolescence.

I do think Martha Stewart has the right approach to cosmetic work, what she does is what I'd do if my purse was bottomless, and I had to be in the public eye.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

You're cuter than Tom Cruise.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

You look how I expect 53 to look, well maintained not young. People are aging more slowly for sure. I look at pictures of my mom at my age and we don't look the same age.

But if you don't have money (for gym or weights, Retin-A, good sunscreen, a job that doesn't stress the fuck out of you) it really is more difficult. Stress is so aging, rich or not, but less stress is easier with money.
