Title: Why do young people from back then looked old?
Post by: falco on August 26, 2025, 07:18:51 AM
Been seing some old car movies, like Bullit, The Car, Vanishing point and the likes, and many of the main or secondary actors, despite being all below 40, all look 50 or near 60, by today's standards.
Hell, i'm 48 and i look nothing like my father when he was my age.

made my head itch & in the "Punk Rock " era in the UK as a kid .. believe it or not i used very small amounts of vaseline to spike up my hair ..
never had hair gel or anything like that.
infact i only ever used a local real Barber for my hair cuts & not some F@ggot hairdressers salon  :D

A lot more physical work, smoking, sun, and alcohol.

Smoking and alcohol especially. All the smokers and hard drinkers I know now, look old beyond their years.

I remember when my dad turned 40 and my mother said, quite sadly, "Your father is depressed because his life is nearly over and he has nothing to look forward to"

That hit me hard back then - 40 was like the beginning of the end.

Now, for most people, that's young. I think the biggest change over the past 50 years is the attention to staying fit. I can't recall my father or mother ever exercising. it just wasn't the thing to do.

Sunscreen only started being more widely used in the 1980's and even then the SPF was far lower than today.

Most people didn't bother with sun protection.

I only started using sunscreen at 25, and even those years were enough to cause sun damage.

Skullet looking great. A lot of people would trim it back, but you did the right thing growing it out. It adds an air of unpredictability to your look. Will he zig or will he zag? Only he knows for sure.

They have sped up time, ever notice how seconds used to be one-Mississippi, but now it takes 2-3 seconds to pronounce that? Ever notice weeks fly by in what seems like days? It is all part of a big conspiracy to extract value at a faster rate from the slaves and cover up decreasing lifespans, which are both a side effect of feeding the beast, as well as an objective in itself.

Absolutely. He literally destroys Hankins in both looks and natural muscle-building ability. Plus, Spamith wouldn't just knee-spear a mouthy woman like a little pansy. He'd likely bum her, stab her 178 times, wear her face as a mask and then bum her again. 3-0 to Spamith.
