      No future just die kind of old? No. But 61 is old enough to cause some physical problems for people, often making it hard to keep in shape - which is not the case here and that’s what we’re admiring in the pic.

        No, this is patronizing as hell. Nobody sees 60-70 year old men in dress suits or tuxes and goes oooohhh, good job!!! Wow!!! Like wtf. What are women in their 60s supposed to wear, burlap sacks?

          Why not? I do appreciate 60-70 men being dapper. Or older elegant women, why not? The exact style is not the point. When someone dresses to be appreciated and it works, I see it as a positive thing.

      Hah, found the 62-year-old in the thread! Calm down, granny - you’re old.

      (I’m 53 this year, and I’ve accepted that I’m almost certainly past the middle of my life and into the downward slope towards entropy - you should give “acceptance” a chance!)

        I’m 32 - I don’t wish I were younger. I just wish that women weren’t expected to disappear as they age, as opposed to men, who gain status.

      I help octogenarians at work everyday and am always stunned they’re that old. I usually peg them at early 70s. One guy was 82 and I swear he could have been 65. I think the look on my face when they tell me is compliment enough.

      People just don’t look as old as they used to. Maybe that’s me aging, but I swear to god, 40 was the limit in my youth. Past that everyone became fat, dumpy and out of fashion, or more like, no fashion.

      And these Florida women! I was dating hot and heavy a few years ago and had 3 gf’s around 49-52 that were absolutely hot, cute and fit. My wife is 54 and could pass for late 30s, but she’s Asian so that’s cheating. When I moved here, I was not prepared. A woman with gorgeous hair and a surfer’s body would turn around and be 70.

      Anyone else see this? Explanations?
