Used to be that men aged better than women. However, with most the couples I know in their 40s and 50s the wives look much better than their husbands. These days, the women tend to diet, work out and pay more attention to their health. From what I see, the men really start to go down hill after 40, while the women are still looking pretty good.
You are obviously not from the northeast. Here women are only beginning to undo the damage they suffered from “letting go” after marriage.
And unfortunately they try “the comeback” with dieting which obviously doesn’t do anything to bring back the youth that has gone past.
Shoot just look at the male athletes in their 40s alone. One woman said to me that men do great in their 40s. For women, it’s more like they look good for being in their 40s.
But your definition of “looking pretty good” is entirely your own of course.
