Men lose interest in fashion trends and being 'cool' at the age of 46, a new survey has revealed.
But women put the effort in for a full 13 years longer - focusing on their appearance and general fitness until at least age 59.
The research also found women were nearly twice as likely to lack confidence in their image, with more than one third unable to claim they were at least content with their appearance.
It also emerged one third of the 2,000 men and women who took part in the study blamed a lack of happiness in contributing to their low confidence levels in the way they look.
More than half of those surveyed said they aren't in great shape physically while a third admit they have never been the type to bother with doing exercise.
Another third stop caring about the food they eat and how much alcohol they drink.

You can do whatever you want, I am not a dim. I reserve the right to not appreciate it however.
Back when, my legs would have been all torn up wearing shorts as much as I crawled through brush and dirt etc... That said I have gotten lazy in my old age and don’t wear starched jeans very much anymore.
“Men should not wear shorts in public, outside a sporting event.”
Obviously you don’t live in Florida.

I’m sitting here chortling in my tighty whitey’s at 10am. No shirt and flip flops. Oops, I think I just leaked in my diaper. Guess I don’t pass the test.
And some of us never gave a sh*t about current fashion in the first place.
I’ve never cared about being cool or having the latest fashion. People can take me for what I look like or they can stuff it. While I’d like to wear pajamas and house slippers to the store, I have to draw the line above that.
***both males and females, and then they bend over and you see the great divide.***My Sister-in-law told what she saw a few years ago in Texas.
A young girl had on some low cut jeans with a high thong, white in color.
She bent over to get items off the bottom of her basket, and the people behind were suddenly given a view of a white thong with a two inch streak of brown on it.
Several had to leave the line to keep from laughing out loud.
ewwwwwwwww
just ewwwwwwww
My room-mate and I had a nice little round table to ourselves and a fresh deck of cards, passing a pleasant five hours playing gin and enjoying the cocktails that magically kept appearing. And smoking, smoking non-filtered Camels.
Today's airport cattle calls are a far cry from when travel was exciting and fun.

Let me guess your line of work — You’re a STAND-UP COMIC?
Did that image get blocked as well? It looks OK on my ‘puter.
Woo Hoo! Only a year-and-a-half to go!
Wow, makes me LOL.
another reason why the great divide is not a pretty sight. I don’t get it with why people dress like that.
His polyester leisure suits?
