    I bet you she looks as beautiful to him now as she did then if not more so. What with having kids, my wife’s body has changed over the years and I found her gorgeous in every stage.

    Oh man, what would I ever do if I met someone who I enjoyed spending time with so much that 25 years in I still wanted them living in the same house I do and going to special events with me? I might fuck around and find out I’ve become happy.

    His wife is still very attractive, but what if she wasn’t? It wouldn’t mean a goddamn thing, would it?

    Beauty may be the reason why you are attracted to a person in the first place, but it’s not at the top of the list of reasons why you stay with a person.

    It’s hard for me to even imagine being that shallow.

    Imagine trying to demonize one of the few people in Hollywood who you can rule out being a kiddie diddler.

    Oh noes, a woman gained weight while her husband, over half of whose extremely lucrative career is literally staying maximally attractive and fit, did not.

    Clearly this situation teaches a lesson that applies to all of us. Clearly.

    If someone met them i n public, they’d be too busy looking at the honkers to even notice who the guy is

      And not even realize that you could have gotten an autograph from the new boyfriend that Robert Williams almost killed in Mrs Doubtfire.

    Same guy probably complains about his near certainty of dying alone as well.

    I’m more attracted to faces. If my wife still has as beautiful face wise as Brosnan’s wife, I’d be the luckiest man.

    I would also like to point out the double standard. While this is a fine… I mean freaking fiiiiiine picture.

    To the point the dumb shit was trying to make, there is a picture of Pierce Brosnan on a beach with a giant gut. Don’t see the dude posting that kind of shit.

      It’s not this tweet, but I have seen people try shaming Brosnan over that.

      There are unhealthy beauty standards set to both genders. They’re just geared differently. Women are suppose to be prizes and men are suppose to be warriors. Tate is the result of decades of masculine marketing and the exact thing the movie Fight Club warned about.

      Look at what they did to Luke Skywalker toys over time.

        And the real tell is that the warrior ideal combined with super broad chest and shoulders are meant to denote strength, but the strongest men tend to be thick through the middle and lack the bodybuilder v-taper they give these toys. Not that bodybuilders aren’t stronger than most people by far, but when you look at the people who hold records for lifting the most weight they’re nothing like those toys. It’s just as shallow and dumb as a lot of women’s beauty standards.

      I think it’s even worse than the double standard. Saying that people shouldn’t get married because some decades later your spouse might not be hot is infuriating to me. You’re with someone for decades - if the only reason you’re with them is because they were smoking hot at 25, you’re immensely shallow and immature. People get old. Age happens.

        If someone is with someone for decades because their partner was smoking hot at 25 either their partner is still smoking hot or there’s something else going on, because most people don’t stay the same level of smoking hot for decades. People who are with someone only for looks won’t stick around for decades.

        We are? I can attest that I most certainly am not allowed to be fat and get derogatory comments about it sporadically. I’m not even that heavy, I just got a growing beer gut and like 4kg overweight. Humans get shit for their looks, it isn’t compartmentalized across genders.
