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.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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.

Men are ALLOWED to be fat though. It's just the masculine swagger.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 28 points 1 month ago (7 children)

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.

To paraphrase family guy "there are no fat men, only fat women"

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Miserable, pitiable folk who do not know what it means to love or be loved.

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

They both look incredible for their age

Incel manosphere culture is partially a result of many closeted bisexual and gay men having to succeed under conservatism

Keep them only caged enough to be socially acceptable, i say.

Women's bodies have been policed for too long.

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.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I bet your wife says you're cool too. ❤️

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What sad fuck, would post "let's take this example of rare long-lasting, happy [celebrity] marriage, and find a shallow reason to dump on it"?

I might be wrong but so many times I hear people talk about how big breast are desirable, how a big ass is desirable, how curves are great.

And then seemingly the same idiot look at women like that and talk shit... I am wondering if it is cope because they are jealous because everything else is insane.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They've both put on a bit of weight over the years but only one gets criticised here.

I'm sure he appreciates the bigger fun bags as a bonus. And after 25 years of marriage I don't think either of them is staying for the other's body anyway.

most of those maga dudes age like milk

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 15 points 1 month ago

Probably because of the brain worms, raw milk and zero vaccinations

You can be over 40 and still be smoking hot, and only weirdos claim otherwise.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

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.

Obviously the dude is an idiot but what is his proposal?

That you…stay a virgin forever?

Does he think you can just keep bouncing from 20 year old to 20 year old until you die? That’s not how anything works.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Rich and/or fame means that's absolutely how it works.

That being said, OP(?) is right — his wife evolved some massive hodonnahonkeroos.

Edit: sorry not OP, what do you even call the commenter on the bottom in a post like this?

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 you're only with someone because of their looks, then yeah you shouldn't get married. At least not until you grow up.

As an aside, I think she still looks good in the second photo.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 17 points 1 month ago

I'm lost. She's beautiful is in both, and so is he. Where is the part I'm supposed to be angry about? Boobs. Huzzah!

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago

My brother here is doing it quite well. This coming from someone that has only been married to the same person for 16 years (been together 20). Regardless of the external expectations of society (which can properly fuck right off). To spend that amount of time growing together and separately as well. Some stay together, others grow apart. Some grow together and part later on. Others stay together and blossom as a unit while each developing a unique set of roots.

I thought it was different women at first but yeah no, you wouldn't hearing any complaints out of me.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Wtf.

Here's a reminder to be a sociopath that dumps anyone once they hit 26.

Not everyone has the opportunity to love life so richly, but if you do it superficially it's going be a shit run (and also you'd be shit too).

Find the person who makes you happy inside and return the favour.
