However, she's also 43 years old, with a birth date of September 25, 1969. You know, there comes a certain point where you are no longer a young one.  I have no idea which award she won here, but the photo begets reservation of comment. And she looks positively middle aged now. Sorry, Cathy... 10 pounds off that waist would do you well nothwithstanding the menopause. My wife is 13 months older than her and is a size 2 and weighs 105 lbs.

@Saturnine:Yeah, I think there was something endearing about Anna Nicole Smith. She does look happy in the pictures with her husband...maybe he treated her great, who knows?

Faith  I was directing my comments at the bigots here; not sensible caring understanding folks like you.{{{hugs}}} I am just so damn tired of the age/weight/size bigotry out there.  I do not expect everyone to like the same thing but is it necessary to insult everyone who is not what they consider perfect? Sorry but this is all a touchy subject for me with many good reasons including my grandparents mentioned on page one and their 70 year age gap at the time they married.IP: Logged |

Honestly, it just depends, young ladies can be really flighty..for some that makes them fun to be around for others it is not fun at all.Have this sort of aura that sometimes makes younger ladies behave like little girls..which is massively creepy, that sort of regression is just bleech.

Lexx,Well YOU are not disgusting at all!! (((HUG))) And I think it's interesting that your grandparents had that age gap! I could see myself liking men even older than my husband, if I were single. And it's not about money...there are some really attractive men in their 60's. They grew up in a different kind of world, and that's intriguing to me. IP: Logged |

My grandpa was born in 1860; his wife, my grandmother; was born in 1912. That was a 52 year age gap, and he was 70 when he married her at age 18. Thankfully had several children, and my mother being one of those; or I would not have been born. I posted much on the other age gap threads I left links to on page one; so I will shut up now because I am wasting my time trying to convince people that it is wrong to judge the desirability of others based on their ages, weights, sizes, and so forth. Shakes head and leaves you all to your "fun".
Yeah I agree, I'm not overweight, but I'm pretty puzzled as to how ANYONE could think Catherine Zeta Jones is letting herself go lol. And no one has the right to judge her so harshly, unless they're the epitome of hotness themselves? I think she's curvy and she looks great! I'm 5'7 and 115 lbs, but I wouldn't mind being heavier if I could be more curvy. I think she's beautiful. Twigs are never attractive anyway.

Me I think weight on older people is good. It fills them up. Not shriveled. IP: Logged |

That sounds so snobbery and shallow. I saw no gross looking folks in those photos.  And being wealthy is not an attraction except for the shallow ones. One of the first men I found delightful and attractive was about 90 years older than myself. The biggest reason I did not try to become more than a friend is I was afraid his heart could not take it. If he were alive now, he would be about 146 years old. And..he lived in a dirt floor one room cabin, raised bees and had a wood stove. Far from a wealthy man, but omg he was wonderful! I also was involved with a younger man, 1/2 my age. That ended but not due to my age or weight.

Aww sand not true at all. Your maturity seems very age appropriate lol Haven't read through all the responses but I've *tried* dating guys up to 9 years older than me and it didn't work out... The first guy would continuously bring up my age, call me things like "youngster" and accordingly, just assumed that I was intellectually/emotionally inferior to him and it bothered me the way he thought he could literally "boss" me around lol. There needs to be mutual respect for me or it's not going to last I don't care how much money they have.. With the second guy we were just on different pages and it never progressed into anything.. But I do think age gaps can be managed if both people are compatible and mature enough . It doesn't always have to be the gold digging w**** with the old boring rich guy... I refuse to be that cynical yet lol IP: Logged |

Although I have my age limits, I admire couples that have proven age is just a number. I love the fact that Celine Dion and, husband Rene, who is 26 years older been together for over 17 years. Everyone has a personal preference, and let's be honest appearance is apart of that. Yea it shouldn't be the only thing that matters, but it is one of the first things you notice about a person when you meet them (unless it's an online relationship). I agree that it's wrong to criticize someone for not "looking" good enough to be with the one they love. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with having personal taste when it comes to your own desired relations.  I see physical attraction between people like Art. Everyone has there own aesthetic of what they find beautiful. You're not going to get the same reaction looking at every picture, there's always a certain painting/drawing that brings something out of you that others don't. Sometimes it can be Art you never thought you'd be drawn to... but at the end of the day, no one can force you to feel a certain way about that painting... because it's what you find beautiful.

Well, that's my perception of the harsh practical realities in my world. My opinions are about my world. If I'm supposed to be "snobbish and shallow," then I expressed my opinion, and so be it. I am who I am. Nobody needs to like me, besides my wife. The example I would cite is that I find the man in the last picture I posted in the second post with the big belly overwhelmingly gross and repulsive. I strive hard not to gain an excess in belly, even though age is catching up with me. I do my best to stay fit and I believe that I can still pass the ranger test. I *know* for certain that my wife would have an immense problem with me if I were to put on excessive weight, and I have kept the same weight since I was half my age. IP: Logged |

^^^ Double breasted is not flattering when the lapels are folded and cannot flow naturally because of the big middle.Look at Luca di Montezemolo. That is the way double breasted ought to look. And that's a man in his late 60s and he looks great in Ermenegildo Zegna. IP: Logged |

Idk if that's zegna. I would have expected him to go to a tailor. I assume he went to one. He unbuttoned his cuff in the arm holding the mic. i don't think zegna would be able to do that. plus it fits too well. #shoulders #smooth The driver beside him in the pointy shoes though. Perhaps. Unaltered zegna. Pile up in the pants. Not showing shirt cuff. IP: Logged |

^^^ No doubt that it's tailored. I saw the same fabric in the same color in the Zegna showroom. Of course, Brioni or anyone else could have the same textile source as well.IP: Logged |
