    There’s another one of these with Sean Connery and Brodie Sangster both (according to the post) 34 when the pictures were taken:

    Sean Connery vs. Brodie Sangster both at 34

    I’m sure that there were young-looking 34 year-olds in the 1960s, and there are old-looking 34 year old actors today. But, it’s also a sign of changes. People started drinking younger, men didn’t have skincare routines, the world was more heavily polluted, Hollywood selected for old-looking actors vs. more pretty actors today, etc.

    Both of these types existed in both time periods. This is an example of cherry picking. Had a guy in my high school class that looked 35 but was 16. Had a beard most men at any age would be envious of.

      Working less manual work as well. In some sense, this made younger generations of men (and women) less fit. After all, the US military declared that most fighting age Americans are unfit for military service. But on the one hand, at least we won’t complain of bad back caused by old injuries from manual labour, but we’ll be fat and diabetic.

        nah, we’ll just complain of a bad back caused by sitting down 14 hours a day and working a desk job with shitty posture

      It is, Freddy wrote most of his songs while fighting in the UFC. These are some notable songs Freddy wrote about his many experiences in the ring: I Want To Break Free is about when Freddy fought Royce Gracie, Another One Bites The Dust was released shortly after he defeated Mark Kerr and Bicycle Race is about Freddy’s stint in Japanese pro wrestling.

    To be fair, not everyone can be such a hunk of manliness as Don Fry. That shit only cones along a few times a generation.

    A lot also comes down to the body type the weight class favours. Not many twinks under the current heavyweights.

    Hey if there’s more of the type on the right out there these days that’s fine by me because I’m a big hairy bear and that just means I have less competition for the like 3 women who are still into that.

      It’s not even less hair follicles, it’s hair that’s shorter, thinner, and now blonde. You have hair on your nose, you just don’t notice it because of how short and thin the hairs are. So it goes with “hairless” chests.
