You would be surprised how many women dig "older-looking" people.

You might not, actually, look old at all; I don't know for sure.



Why do you mention that I might look old?

You probably don’t…actually, it doesn’t matter, because I don’t know.

I did mention this before that I was in a bar/club once and this younger man pointed his finger at me and shouted "pedophile".

Not sure if that means I look old or not?

I don't get understand though you don't see people like Ryan gosling or David beckham getting ugly just because there older. I just don't see how my looks get so dramatically worse?

Before you ask yes as you know I have a history of drinking to much alcohol and my nose has been broken ALOT. I guess that could have effected my looks.


You can't look like a 12 year old boy if you're a 32 year old man. You have to make the best of what you have now.

It’s called aging.

32-year-old people hardly ever looked "aged."

If I were make a wager, I would say James probably looks around his age----or perhaps a bit younger.

Kraftie is just being shy about asking for nudes. :lol:

Yeah... I'm the same way. Lost my good looks by mid-20s.

Did you notice that good looking male child actors often don't look good when they grow up?



In what way did you lose your good looks?

The way my facial features have grown, I started losing hair at 17 and have been bald to the back of my head by mid-20s, gained weight in college, my posture got worse...

Everyone ages in different ways. Sure, David Beckham still looks good, but compare James Spader or Brendan Fraser 25 years ago and now.

But in your case, you mentioned some specific things. All are controllable.
Hair loss: Go with it. Shave your head or cut it very short. It works for Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and me.
Weight gain: Lose it. Exercise.
Posture: It's consciously correctible. Exercise will also help with this.
