Still waiting at this altar...

Oh $hit! I *knew* I forgot to do something. Sorry! :(

You've got a point there Sauron. But don't forget there are a few older men out there who can keep pace w/you youngins, and have learned a few tricks along the way. Nonetheless, your point on 'vigor' is indisputable (sp?). And I have one last thing to say: You go, boy!

[SauronOfMordor]

I'm no longer a "youngin", the time described having been over twenty years ago. I HAVE learned a few tricks since then 8-)

But interestingly enough the paring of the two 'beautiul people' were rated at the bottom in happiness/success.

Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of the study participants. LOL!

seems to me it was done among college students doing the ratings. so perhaps getting 'shot down' was more fresh in their minds.

However, think about it - how many 'successful' marriages are there between two 'beautiful people'. Seems to me the last famous one, Brittainy, didn't last even a whole day.

I like your way of thinking! And you sound like a great father for your daughter.

[LisaMalia]

Thank God for REAL men like Mel.

I guess the choice is to put deters on aging at the hands of plastic surgeons like Melanie G seems to have done or age naturaly.

Personally although not a "hottie" I prefer nature to age me with a little color to cover the grey, shaved and plucked and always walk with a bounce like I am satified.... with life as it is.

I did get a hernia fixed partly for cosmetic reasons but it was also a medical decision.

Agree story, production and presentation are ahead of eye candy male or female.

Colin Ferrel has his section in my DVD collection though.

As I posted earlier alot of older actors are now in the "Christian made for TV movies" and those are cool too.

[oceanperch]

Heh Heh.

[White Eagle]

Good point. If they saved their money while they could get good roles, they should have the cash and connections to finance their own movies featuring women in their 40's and 50's.

When those movies are great commercial successes, then everybody will copy the formula and women won't be able to get roles in movies until they turn 40.

[oceanperch]

Older, ugly women, and poor, inept, low-status guys are similarly discriminated against in the mating game

---

add young to poor, inept, low status guys and you now know who is keeping the older ugly women happy.

[SauronOfMordor]

Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of the study participants. LOL!

In the pretty/not-pretty pairings, the assumption would be (in order to GET the pretty one) that the not-so-goodlooking person had something going for him besides looks, which would translate into future income. Income translates into comfort, which is conducive to happiness

[SauronOfMordor]

Why else do you think pool cleaner boys have all those interesting stories?

A friend of mine in the construction/carpentry field had lots of bored older housewives chasing after him in his young and poor days when he would do odd jobs at rich folks homes

[Cronos]

Make an indie movie -- they work and earn big bucks as well, if they target the right audience. If women want to see older women in film, then an indi studio would make a film, make a lotta bucks on it and the studios would clamour to make duplicates. It's market forces pure and simple.

[Cronos]

Exactly. Now Dame Judi Dench makes movies, so does Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton and others. If the actor is good enough, the parts will come. It's the same for guys. The ones who just look good and can't act will have no career at 30/40. If they can act then they'll last

I think that was the general concensus.

Well said. Untalented actors ruin movies, IMO, regardless of how hot they may be. Hey, I like eye candy -- but not when I want to lose myself in a good movie.

Colin Ferrel has his section in my DVD collection though.

And I have *every* Russell Crowe movie ever made -- including the earliest ones, which are now hard to find. Especially the one which starts out with him nekkid on a horse in a stream. ;D

[oceanperch]

LMAO
Yes pool boys are notorious. LOL
