Short Shorts, past age... 45 or so

I wonder if any past 45 can still do Daisy Dukes after age 45. Or even 40.

 

This guy sure can't. But that was his point.

I saw this news story....hilarious. Sadly where I live, every now and again I see an aging 'boomer' attempting his hand at "sexy"....It's never pretty.

Many +40 people CAN do fashions that the younger generations flaunt. Should they? Of course not. When I was a freshman in college (more years ago than I want to think about) I wore skin tight "skinny" jeans. Even if I lost the extra ten pounds around my mid-rift, I would never, ever attempt to wear the skinny jeans that I see young men wearing today )

Men and women who work hard at keeping in shape can look age-attractive by dressing appropreately, perhaps classically?

 

I do admire the father who cut-off his old jeans to make a point---shows a caring father and we need all of those we can get.

I actually don't think he looks bad in those jorts...at least not worse than anyone else would since the shorts themselves aren't attractive. Doesn't look like his legs are too bad. I actually don't like that most guys wear long shorts since shorter shorts show off the quads nicely, assuming the guy wearing them puts reasonable effort into working his legs.

An come on, guys, the man has pretty good legs. Admit it. What doesn't work for you is the prejudice against an older face with that kind of clothing. If you blocked out his admittedly older face and photoshopped a young stud's face, no one would say there was an issue here.

I think that's the point, actually.
