Same can be said of a woman...and personally, a 50 year old man NOW doesn't neccessarily look the way a 50 year-old man looked 20 or 30 years ago. You see photographs of people back in the 1940's, 1950's or 1960's who were 40 years old and they looked old! Even women...look at the 'grandmas' out there nowadays...they're pretty young. When our grandmothers were 35 they looked 50 already! Age is trivial in this day and age. We have to be active to keep up--the world is so fast. Its just sad that this country focuses so much on youth. In other parts of the world, a 50 or 60 year old man can still be considered handsome or distinguished. Here, we call them 'old farts'...lol
