The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Jason Statham. Plenty of dudes out there aging like time doesn’t apply to them.

Hell, Mel Gibson doesn’t even look bad for a 62 year old alcoholic…

That’s good, need to keep him youthful to make as many John Wick movies as possible.

Haha, fair enough I did not know that.

Well at least I’m unafraid to acknowledge when I look like a dumb cunt. Nothing to see here people move along.

I did not mean that as a scorch.

Im dubious about its use in weight training and not nearly educated enough to understand its original application.

I ran a timed 5:35 mile in highschool. In college I had close to a 3x bw raw DL for 495 at 170.

Im 32 and I pulled a hammy bending over to tie my boots this morning.

People who say they are in betting shape at 40+ than in their youth are confusing lifting strength and body comp with athelteisim. That or they were never competitive athletes in their youth.

Rant over. Time to go spend more time warming up and doing mobility work for my deadlift session than said session will last.

You can’t post a mullet glamor shot and say it’s better than whatever other picture is next to it. Anything without a mullet will beat it. Also, they both just look…older. Which happens. And they’ll always look worse next to their 18 year old selves.

That is an exceptionally swanky and luxurious mullet.
It’s no Jaromir Jagr mullet, but pretty damn close.

The Pro Hockey Player mullets are on a totally different level.

I had rebonded, shoulder length hair with gold streaks while in university. This was during the height of the J-pop(Japanese pop) fad and I was dating a chick who liked cosplay. There’s no way I don’t look better than that now lol. Actually, maybe not. My wife actually prefers that look but I can’t go to work like that…

Oh man I know you don’t want to do anything that might reveal your identity but I would literally kill to see a photo of that

Google any J-pop idol from the early 2000s with the same kind of hairstyle and I probably looked something like that. We all look the same anyway lol.

This right here is congruent with the myth. If men were to age like fine wine, they wouldn’t look worse than their eighteen to 30 year old selves.

Literal lulz . :joy:

Well, I honestly have never taken that metaphor as a 100% literal thing, if we’re being honest. I took it to mean that the older phases of a mans life can be an attractive and alluring thing to younger women - which I wouldn’t understand, being straight and not old. If people genuinely think all men just Benjamin Button themselves to death, then I’m sure we can agree on that.

My work is going to start hosting Crossfit classes in January. I am legit considering attending, just as something else to do to improve my conditioning. Maybe even my mobility.
