WRT your comment abt it being shameful for men to do stuff to improve appearance back then, I’m not sure men were judged ss harshly for age either. Women were. So that might have been a catalyst. I think they are now a little more. I’m not sure why.

I know in the workplace, technology changes up quickly, so longevity of companies is something that has to be fought for. And i suspect layoffs are more frequent.

I’ve noticed over the past 20ish years, upper managers rarely have the 11 wrinkles between the eyebrows - which makes me think they are getting botox or other countermeasures.

Sure, men with a “ruddy” complexion were seen as more macho if anything. Movies some decades ago have a lot of leading men with faces that would be seen as disasters by today’s entertainment standards.

I don’t use it, but Botox makes a HUGE difference for men and I think men can get away with it more because they are not expected to be quite so expressive facially. But in any case, in a place like LA, I can recall being at some events with many people 40 and older (some non-entertainment professional networking thing), and it was the land of zero wrinkles / dead expressions. Age discrimination is probably the last bastion of completely unchallenged discrimination so it makes sense to shave a decade or so off.

Food for thought.

This is an email from DoNotAge.org. If interested in more information, you may go to their website. IMHO, they are a trustworthy supplement company in the UK. Always use a 10% of promo code when ordering from them (Google it). I use their NMN powder, Spermidine and Apigenin as they had the best price for this. (Also Resveratrol powder… :stuck_out_tongue:)

If you look closely, the guy in the middle appears to have less lines than the other two.
It’s just the immediate perception of aging caused by the greying and balding which makes people immediately think he looks older.
I suspect the glasses also has a similar effect.

Brad and Tom have probably spent a small fortune on maintaining their looks and health because their income depends on it… Walz not so much.
