I was thinking the same thing about snugs and her well-known and understandable love for Cheney.
However, Cheney looks better than Fred for his age and has age appropriate children.
But I just like Fred’s looks and since my own husband had a non-age appropriate child, I have no problem with that.
Keep in mind that Thompson is 6'4. He's a very big man, and people -- men and women -- with big frames have more to support physically.
Put politely, in my personal experience, large, tall people don't age *visually* particularly well physique-wise and in appearance without real effort. We petite folks age much better with less effort, because there's a lot less to maintain and gravity has a lot less of a drag, and NO, it isn't proportional as much as we may think. There's a REASON that insects have never gotten to be the size of dumptrucks, and it has to do with gravity, energy, and mass.
Anyhoo, empirically speaking, most folks that big in their 60s to 80s don't look as hale as an equally fit person the same age but with 3/4 or 5/7 the the body mass. Just a thing I consider when I see Thompson, knowning that he's well over six feet tall, and that's a pretty big fellow.
