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.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Dude is rocking that stache like a boss tho.
There's another one of these with Sean Connery and Brodie Sangster both (according to the post) 34 when the pictures were taken:
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.
People not smoking have turned bears into twinks
And it is beautiful
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.
at least we won’t complain of bad back caused by old injuries from manual labour,
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

I don't think they're supposed to just cut it, that's probably your problem
I was dead certain for several minutes that the guy on the left was Freddy Mercury
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.
I choose to believe this is historical fact.
Don Fry is 31 in that picture, and this is what he looked like thirty years later.
Don Fry is 31 in that picture
Shit, and I believed the image saying he's 25. What a noob mistake, believing something you see on the internet 🤦
still handsome as fuck
This is gayer than being actually gay.
Being gay is actually manly as fuck because if you are all man what business do you have messing around with Lady parts?
Imagine being into feminine stuff, how unmanly.
What the media thinks gay dudes want: Cute and "feminine" things.
What gay dudes really want: Stallone's sweaty pecs bouncing as he fires his machine gun.
this comic, but stallone and schwarz in their prime, with the bullets deflecting offa stallone's pecs.
wait no hold on henry cavill in wonder woman's spot, and adam driver in superman's spot and hold on we need to storyboard this (henry cavill and lucy lawless are my real superman and wonder woman casting tho)
A cock is a manly, hetero instrument. More cocks = more manly, hetero fun. Therefore vaginas are actually gay because they represent things that aren't manly.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
This was unironically the position of German neonazi leader Michael Kühnen.
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.
Why does only the one guy get legs
that's fighting. you fight for the legs
my question is why does the top ten have eleven
it's the current champion, he won the legs. The others are the top ten fighting for who gets to wear them next.
One is a carrying case, he can fit the other 10 inside him
ayo!?
Just like that old Hot Wheels big rig. Neat!
Look at the champion belt he's carrying, he has legs privileges
why do they all look like tina bathhouse bottoms
Without sunscreen and genetics for more hair follicles VS. With sunscreen and genetics for less hair follicles. Or maybe he got it waxed, i unno
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.
Lead vs microplastics
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.
