hi Sonnet
My theory is that as men age the proportions of sex hormones change as they do in women. In men less testosterone and more oestrogen. So what you perceive as better is actually more feminine. The opposite occurs in women who gain more testosterone and loose oestrogen and so become masculinised. Female form is equated with beauty and male with power and so as humans age men become more beautiful and women more powerful.
Of course all such attributions as beauty are culturally determined.

@sogdianrock A book about the female brain? Well, since my birth I've been told that women have no brain at all...

hi Loretta78
No indeed you have been misinformed. On the contrary the female brain is very interesting and complex. There is no book on the male brain though as that is not.

Life hands men and women different benefits. This is one that more or less got handed to the fellas. But your right.. It's not all that fair. But we die sooner. Actually that's a good thing too.
Sonnet · 41-45, F
@Coppercoil how so?
Coppercoil · M
@Sonnet life often seems like more trouble than it's worth. So an early death could be seen as a early release from a kind of torment. But I do recognise plenty of people are very happy with life and see more of it as a good thing. I'm cool with those people.. I don't fantasise about killing them.
Sonnet · 41-45, F
@Coppercoil obviously not. Perish the thought.
DIMaverick4 · 41-45, M
I think mature women look beautiful as well .. i don't agree they are melted wellies .. maybe its a case of being youthful in mind ..then it shows in the body and attitude as well ;)
Sonnet · 41-45, F
@DIMaverick4 & we're back 😂
DIMaverick4 · 41-45, M
@Sonnet ohk i wanted to be tongue in cheek and didn't mean that in a gross way but it was a case of unintended grossness realized as soon as you hit the send button :(
Sonnet · 41-45, F
@DIMaverick4 Awww. Don't worry.

Meh... My Wife of thirty years looks incredible, thin, petite and very pretty. Not everyone ages equally. Some retain vigour and figure some do not. When my Father was my age he was dead, my younger Brother did not make it even that age - meanwhile I wear no glasses and have no grey hair and I can touch my nose with my toes. Not everyone ages equally, not everyone is equally healthy...

Liquidplasma · 46-50, M
It depends on genetics ,most men don't look better unless the work out heavily like 6 days a week and eat right.Thats what it takes me and it's brutal

Men look just as terrible. They just have the gift of a societal lens that makes everyone think they look okay. It's like beer goggles but for sober people. I choose to call them Clooney-Gere goggles. Where everyone hopes the man they end up with in their 60s looks like those two. The reality is... we all look decrepite.

Are you a fan of beer bellies, missing teeth, b.o., idiotic leering, egoistic ranting, jokes that are totally unfunny....?
