Yes, Bardot is 73. And she’s raising hell with French Muslims for their animal-butchery practises. You’ve got to admit that that is an example of a “celebrity” showing real courage, for once.
I suspect that one of the reasons her face has suffered so badly is that she spent far too much time in the sun in her youth. Catherine Deneuve isn’t much younger than Bardot but has aged much better because she didn’t bake. Oh, and she has a face better designed for aging well. Baby-faces tend not to; aquiline features look better longer.

That statement and this website’s constant hammering of a biological justification for being a cad brings to mind a quote by Dostoevsky in The Brothers Karamazov.
“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that’s a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel.”
Not that I’m a dizzy or David Alexander. I’m much too jaded to think that this is a new development in mankind. There was and always will be Roissys (Rossies?); the great reaver-kings of love and sex. Hell, I’m friends with a couple of ’em. They’re entertaining.

I hope and trust that most of the men who post here are not nearly as caddish in real life as they are on this blog. Perhaps that’s naive of me, but there you are. I don’t mind so much when they go on about nasty things women do to them, or about the lunacies of political correctness, but it does bother me a little when they get mean about things women can’t help, like being old or unattractive. After all, it’s not as if anyone is forcing them to date these women. But women themselves appear to have grown crueller than I can remember them being when I was younger, so perhaps that’s the reason for it. I don’t know.

I think your intuition is right. I also doubt most people here are mirrors of their online persona. I’ve been online since 1993, and seen enough people and communities to sort of instinctively get what sort of person is underneath the cultivated persona. It’s why I lurk mostly now. You learn a lot more about folks by watching and occaisionally pitching in a bland calculated response than actively taking part in an online community.
While most here ain’t as big as cads as they seem to be online, I would say most of them aren’t putting forth something that they’re explicitly not in real life. Most of them are players to a greater or lesser extent. Only a couple folks really ring false to me, though one of them even doesn’t realize it himself. (I’m leaving out trolls in this calculus.)
As for being cruel to the old, it just strikes me as a sort of whistling past the graveyard. One day all of us will be wrinkly and saggy and decrecipt. No magic biological bullet will defeat the simple physics of entropy forever. We eventually will be unattractive and the beautiful young things content in the eternal now of youth will mock us for our ugliness and slowness and cluelessness as we smile ingratiatingly at them. They will say “It will be different for us, we know better and won’t be like those old fools grasping at straws.”
It’s all so very funny to me to watch the folly of man repeat itself anew ten million times over.
Now for the rise of latter day cruelty, I doubt that’s actually changed all that much. Young men and women have always been the most exquisitely cruel of any age in history. It’s just as we age, the past takes on a sort of halcyon sheen where we were better than those now. If anything, the only thing that’s changed in my eyes is that the tech induced ADD of the younger generation has removed most of the subtlety behind a lot of cruelty. It’s so much more direct and to the point now.

Good point, Agnostic. The post angered me, and in my anger I neglected to mention that Roissy has generously provided me with high-quality entertainment free of charge, and for that I am thankful.
What frustrates me about this post is that it tars by association the reality-based thoughtcrime – spiced up by a rapier wit – that makes this blog highly worthy. In picking on an old lady for no good reason, Roissy lends credence to his detractors’ assertions, in not so many words, that he is simply a mean-spirited pedant. His better posts argue otherwise, but one like this, which is simultaneously lazy and mean of spirit, gives too much aid and comfort to the Dizzys of cyberspace.

It does bother me when specific men get picked on here, but Roissy’s picking on men is usually not directed as much at specific ones, so I don’t feel compelled to speak out in their defense.

Incidentally, I just started a series on “nice men” at my blog, to keep me from dwelling on those who are not nice, and remind me of encounters with those who are.

An old man without an old wife whom he feels attached and emotionally connected to, might do better to seek out a very ugly woman (3 and under) in her 20s than an above average woman of 60 or over.

obviously a woman’s looks are a depreciating asset; those of us with iq’s over 70 don’t need visual aids to prove the point. but in many women of days gone by, that physical beauty was succeeded by a quiet, feminine, confident dignity that earned the title ‘lady’, and spurred even the most alpha of men, perhaps especially the most alpha of men, to acts of chivalry.
unfortunately, although i still meet them on occasion, such ladies are now largely an anachronism. if and when i find such a lady in my own demographic – unlikely enough already, but especially because i invariably look in all the wrong places – i will stay staunchly loyal to her, regardless of the damage wrought on her face by the slow burn that is aging.
until then, of course, i will continue to be a sexual Sisyphus, looking for the next rock of ephemeral pleasure to roll up the proverbial hill. after all, there are a hell of a lot of nicely curved rocks out there, and these days they can be tossed up the hill with minimal effort.

women do age much worse than men (and men can use testerone replacement and exercise to stay attractive to younger women, while women can do very little). more women should take better care of themsleves, exercise, eating well, sleeping enough, not drinking to excess, not smoking and avoiding the sun could help women stay pretty much longer.

Contrary to what roissy needs to believe, men are the weaker sex period. He, like so many men, are obsessed with gaining SOME kind of advantage to make up for their statistically proven weakness in just about every area. The sexual superiority of women is the most threatening of all, hence the constant focus on sexual control and the ensuing chaos.
As a woman, I must say it gets really old. In reality masculine and feminine aspects are of equal value, so neither should feel threatened. Looking only at health and mortality misses the point.

I would agree… if you take it by the yardstick by which you measure everything, Roissy. I really don’t think the person who coined that phrase meant that couples on their 50th anniversary would be looking forward to better sex than when they first were together, though, nor say that their physical beauty would mature as a brash claret can become more subdued. Perhaps what the quote is saying is that when the external pleasures wilt and fade away, something else less visible replaces it and provides comfort and joy in that time after the dew is off the rose but before the eternal darkness comes.
Granted, I would not care to see Bardot naked at her current age, but oh to have a meal and a long talk with her would be fascinating! I’d more prefer her social company to an 18 year old dullard, in fact it would be rather relaxing to be around interesting women with which there would be no sexual tension at all, just as a break every now and then.
