Everybodys ears and noses get bigger with age because they never stop growing! It is not just men, but I think that it is more predominant in men.

They don't get bigger, we some times think that they do because we become more conscious of our appearance. We stop growing in our twenties and except for weight and aging we stay the same. (we do grow shorter)
As we age our faces change this is only natural. For some of us the face is heavier and others it's thinner, which makes our noses and ears seem bigger, the key word being seems.
In some cases such as my self, my hair has become thinner and I show more ear than before and my face fatter and my nose is less predominate

Because your bones (actually, to be more precise, your cartilage) keeps on growing throughout yuor life (might be true for only a few parts, but I'm not sure). It's true for your ears, and I think it's also true of your nose.
There's a medical condition (can't remember the name) which makes your bones grow A LOT: ears, nose, chin...

It is not just men, women's ears also get bigger as you get older. Your nose, too, will also grow. There is nothing you can do to stop it (except plastic surgery).

When they get old, the skin sag- it's the aging process. With combination also of gravitational pull for a long time.

very good question. I've always wondered this myself. I guess everything just kinda gets saggy and the ears get elongated.
