Why is it when women become middle-aged, their hair is as short as mine, the weight piles on, they wear blue jeans that are too short, and they wear those UGLY 1980's white Keds?

I don't get it. That is so nasty!

And you guys want to know why your husbands have affairs. Take a moment to think about this one...

Try doing the beauty queen routine when you have three kids and a husband to take care of. They cut their hair because they don't have the time to care for longer hair anymore.



<< the weight piles on, >>



Three reasons: Bearing children, Cooking all the time for the family, and menopause.



<< they wear blue jeans that are too short, and they wear those UGLY 1980's white Keds? >>



Yeah, let's shoot them for choosing comfort over beauty!



<< I don't get it. That is so nasty! >>



Let's see how stylish and glamourous you are if you have to run a household, bear children, go through menopause and hold a job, all at the same time



<< And you guys want to know why your husbands have affairs. Take a moment to think about this one... >>



I would find the mother of my children to be the most beautiful thing on earth, even if she did stop all the primping in favor of practicality.

Answer is menopause. They have more testosterone then, and thus feel that a manly haircut will do it for them.



<< the weight piles on, >>



Three reasons: Watching soap operas while the kids are at school, not exercising, and gnawing on food constantly while surfing the internet.

Their mirrors just don't tell them what my eyes tell me.



<< I don't get it. That is so nasty! >>



Amen to that. We have to work constantly for complete idiots. They have no bosses, just need to raise some normal kids. Plus, we have to go home and take care of the kids at night too (those of us who are good daddys do at least).

She is the most beautiful thing on Earth, I just wish she would get up at 5 a.m. like me everyday and excercise for two hours.

I'm a man, dipsh!t, I've never watched a soap and I'm far from overweight.

Yes, but some exercise fights genetics bigtime. Same thing 40% of women start to have hairloss too! (got from a Rogaine commercial for women, LOL).

I love them -- they're my only hope for the future. I'm hoping that in about 2 to 3 years I will become highly desirable to a lot of them.

If you see the weight creeping up on you, get on that treadmill!!
Keep your hairdo up to date. no one likes a left back 80's chic!!
Where's the flood? Get jeans that fit!!
I'm sure some Afgan child would have no problem wearing a pair of 1987 Keds. Donate them!!

unfortunatly, I know far too many people who fit Germy Boy's description. Actually they started out watching soap opera's, then moved to the internet. No exercise, or anything. They wear the 1980's sneakers because they grew up in the 80's and that was 'the style' back then. I don't think it would be that hard to find even 20 min a day to exercise. And posting 21.83 posts per day doesn't help much either ;)

At some point, people just stop caring about conforming to the perceived aesthetic norm. Believe it or not, there is a time in your life where you worry about more than the latest fashions from Abercrombie and Fitch.

It's such a double standard as well. I see men out with very attractive wifes, dressing like absolute bumbs. It seems they hold high opinions as to how their wife should look, yet they don't hold any for themselves.

I don't care about any of the namebrands.
I think people who wear them are lame, as they waste money.
I look good all the time, whether I dress like a slob or not.
I only dress up for people I respect.
You'll know you're respected when I wear a suit. :D

The funniest thing about this topic is that all of the folks that make fun of people that are older than themselves are going to find themselves (if they are lucky) in the same keds shoes that they are making fun of. Believe it or not young padowan... you too shall age... if you just don't outright get killed before your time.

The younger part of your life you are all worried about what you look like and what others think of you... and as I am finding out as you age crap like that becomes a little less important to you and things like raising kids and marriage and the like take the place of pimping around for everybody.

One question to bounce back at you... are you one of those people who make fun of the older crowd for not acting or dressing their age as well?

You're looking at all the wrong middle-aged women. My wife is early middle-aged I guess, 37 years old and we've got a 1 year old child. She's in better shape than 90% of the girls I've seen that are in their 20's.

Hmmm... lets see, 70% of people over 25 are out of shape, most don't exercise, and your metabolism slows down. Sounds like a recipe for fattys...

The short mom hair cut is lame though.

The new face of middle age



Btw, I turned 45 a couple months ago and could probably put most of you to shame in any activity requiring the expenditure of energy :)
