Why do young people from back then looked old?
« 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.

And almost no one over 30 worked out back then.

They were breathing more polluted air and never worked out or anything.

its your perception of a childs view and an adults


Policemen now look like children and so do footballers now you are older

Waggon Wheels biscuits are smaller than they used to be, its because now you have adult hands as opposed to a childs

Not true, I have pictures to prove it, my Dad even looked old at 43. I literally take pictures of me daily and post videos of me on instagram and I look way younger

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.
