why do men look sexier as they get older and women just get fat?

Question

I met a guy who was 46 put on a little bit of weight and it made him alot sexier. i wear 20 lbs extra i just look fat.

Answer 1

A lot of it has to do with genetics and your parents (they are related but not the same thing).

My dad died at age 70 but looked like he was between the ages of 50-55. He was also 5'10" and weighed 250 pounds. My mom died at age 57 but look 45 and at 5' 1" never weighed more that 100 pounds.

I am now 52 and most times when people ask my age and just for I ask them to guess. Typically they tell me 42. Also I am 6 foot and 177lbs. The same as when I graduated from college.

My sisters got screwed...both over weight. And my older sister (by 11 months) at age 53 looks much older. And at 5' 4" I estimate she is carrying around 220 pounds or more. I am bright enough not to ask!

It's not fair,true. But I have also meet dozens of women in their 50's who look magnificent.

Answer 2

Women have a tendency to have too many things on the mind at once.
Men focus on one or two things, they stick to them and get them done, like losing that extra weight or keeping fit.
Women have to look after the kids, bla bla bla.
We girls don't just worry about getting rid of the weight, we also take into consideration that slinky black dress we want to fit into, that bikini we want to wear on the beach, the make-up we have to put on to pretty us up, the next time we'll have time to go to the gym, etc. We worry too much, then crack under the pressure and attack that tub of ice-cream.
We just need to stay focused.
I've seen more guys age badly than women. Guess it's just one of those things....

Answer 3

Get some self esteem counseling. Men do not look sexier when they get older, they get fat, too. You obviously have been brain washed to think you're supposed to look like an air-brushed fashion model in a magazine. Wrongo!

Answer 4

I think that the men who have lounge-chair jobs DO get fat and old looking. Women who slow down and fail to get enough exercise will do the same. They are more likely to do that, because their jobs are often sedentary.

Men often look young for their age because they work hard, and therefore they have athletic bodies until they are ready to retire.

Exercise will turn that extra 20 lbs into muscle.

Answer 5

I am 39 and still get carded. People say I still look in my teens and I do. Not one wrinkle and I haven't ever experienced a gray hair. I was fat in high school and now I have a rock solid body. NOT all women get fat and old looking. Although my one friend who I went to high school with got fat and wrinkly. But don't say we ALL are like that because we are NOT.

Answer 6

I think that many people of both sexes age gracefully and many age not so well. Men in general seem to carry extra weight better than women because of how it is distributed in their bodies. But There are a lot of really beautiful women in their 40's 50's and 60's out there. Take care of yourself and you could be one of them.

Answer 7

That is not always true. I didn't grow into my face until I was 35. Now in my 40's I look great in my low-riders. Of course I eat healthy and exercises, so my body is still kickin'.
When we get older our weight sneaks up on us. Go out for brisk walks, avoid fatty foods. You will trim down and tighten up in no time.

Answer 8

The reason for this is society. Society tells us that to be beautiful and sexy women have to be young and a size1.
Society is MUCH harder on women then men. For men it is okay to grow older, grayer, and weigh more and they are still considered sexy.
It's not like that for women...and it's very sad.

Answer 9

Simple trick women...as you age don't keep pulling your pants up higher and higher. Men do the opposite and it works.

Answer 10

not all men get sexier weman usally use food to cover up thier feelings.
