As I was driving along on the top of the plain today I passed an extremely handsome man walking his black Labrador. He was of a certain age, greater that 45 but probably less than 65. I had my sunnies on (there was sunshine today!) so I had a long squizz at him cos let me tell you, he was sex on legs. I bet he didn't look that
good at 25.And then I thought to myself, that's true of the majority of men isn't it? They look better for a few years maturity, middle age becomes them, laughter lines are sexy, salt and pepper hair is cute. They can even carry a little (a little, I said) weight and it's not unattractive. Ugly boys can become handsome men. Handsome boys become gorgeous.
Is this fair?
It f*cking isn't, because this does not work for women. I do not know any woman post 45 (probably post 35) who looks better now than she did at 25 (and that's even with the help of knives and endless cash). That's not to say I don't know some very attractive middle aged women, but they don't look better than they did. Age does not become the female form. We have too many wobbly and soft bits that tend to sag, and our hormones go into meltdown long before we're ready. Ugly girls become politicians and beautiful girls become grannies.
See? She's still lovely but not better.
