Observation Men And Women Aging

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

Watching James Burrows Tribute and seeing Ted Danson I noticed how good he looks. It got me thinking that men seem to age more gracefully than women ( especially in Hollywood). A man gets distinguished with age, a woman is just getting old. Tom Selleck is still good looking and Sean Connery was a leading man probably into his 60's.

oh ted dansons DOES still look great, but i disagree about men aging gracefully more than women in hollywood. i can post lots of photos of hollywood men that you can tell really did not age well.

Well, @Jordan2 *IMHO*

As far as the three men you mentioned - I don't think any of them have aged well at all, especially Tom Selleck.

And Sean Connery was looking less than stellar by the time he made the film Zardoz back in 1974.

many women age gracefully in hollywood and out. it is the feelings that we have toward youth that are the problem.

you can go anywhere and find beautiful men and women of all ages.

I watch Blue Bloods every week and he still looks good to me! I still liked Sean Connery, I think it was the accent!

It's all individual to the person, as well as individual to the beholder.

My vote for #1 ? Paul Newman 😍

I think Ted looks ancient with the white hair. Didn't he have a meltdown when he started going bald? There was some brew haha over it.

I never thought Connery was handsome either. No idea what he looks like now.

Tom Selleck seems to look better with age.

jmho.

I think they are just us regular folks. Some age very well and others not so well. I have gone to a 30 year high school reunion and was shocked how young some looked and shocked how old some looked. Don't even want to know what they thought of me.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I guess if it is said enough, people will continue to believe that men just look distinguished with age. However, there are plenty of women who age just as gracefully as a man does. I see it all the time in the real world.

Tom Selleck looks paunchy even though I am a fan and Sean Connery looks every bit his age. Robert Redford is another actor who looks his age. The idea that men age better than women, for myself, is just a myth.

I don't know, he looked pretty good in his James Bond days!
