Guy on left can afford nice shirt.
true. i saw some people who were 80 and looked like 250. like walking corpses. incredible. probably waaay too many sunburns, etc.
Lots of very important things, but mostly the smoking.
Also having kids.
And that nobody has AIDS.
Wait. I know that drugs control symptoms, but is AIDS now cured?
You won’t die from it anymore, and I’m pretty sure that as long as you’re medicated, you won’t transmit it either.
Oh i didn’t know that someone can’t transmit it if medicated, that’s pretty cool. Guess it explains why you don’t hear too much at all about others socially demonising those with aids anymore
Yes, but the hair loss is real.
ever since i found out about this a few years ago i’m telling everyone i meet: there’s fantastic medication against hair loss, and it even causes side effects! such as mild boob growth
note that only some meds to that, while others do not.
In rare cases it also causes permanent erectile dysfunction, so probably isn’t the best thing to be recommending everyone takes.
yes the thing that changed was lead posioning from gas and chain smoking cigs starting at 12
Also pesticides were even more unregulated than they are now. Remember how they just sprayed DDT everywhere in the 40’s till the 70’s. Even on directly on people. Shit had multigenerational consequences, even grandchildren of people who had a high exposure to that stuff are being affected.
I smoked from 15 to 30 drank every weekend in the same time. 40 now and I look more like the one on the right
Recently watched The Seven Year Itch (1955) and the man claims to be 37. He looks like a young 50. Cigarettes.
Just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Nicholson was 38 during filming. I thought he looked 50 too.
Nah he looks 38 lol
No, he definitely looks well into 45+
I’m 38. He does not look 38.
Well he doesn’t look 50 that’s for sure. His hairline isn’t great, but people in their 20s can have a fucked up hairline.
He does. Its just the hairstyle
And the creases.
You mean wrinkles?
Yep. English and their 100 case-dependent meanings.
I’m just a few months behind that… no he does not.
As I get older, the more I agree
Maybe a ripe 32 if you ask me.
16 going on 35.
Bottom half looks 38. Top half looks 48.
When I was a kid, restaurants still smelled like tobacco.
Didn’t really stop until early 2000’s
I remember this on older busses and coaches as a child, and the ashtrays on the back of seats. Mustve been wack in the 1990s with how much indoor smoking was still accepted.
I don’t know what it peaked, but by the 90s presence of smoking was trending downwards
Recently did a watch of Rear Window (1954), and yeah, there’s a scene in the beginning where the main character’s nurse calls the main character “young man”. Main character (Jimmy Stewart?) was 46 at the film’s release.
Wild.
Sunlight is the big factor in premature aging of the skin and especially face. Cigarettes are said to be a big factor too, as is hard liquor to excess.
In addition to people not smoking anymore, direct Sun exposure has dropped dramatically too.
This gives a pretty good explanation of the psychology
I’m 40 and I look like the second picture
I have the body of the left but the clothing of the right.
The gabagool has a hold on you
The one in the left married at 23 and his 4 kids.*fix his=has
That explains a lot, what with the sleep deprivation and drastic lifestyle changes brought on my most kids.
Ugh married his 4 kids too that’s sick
There was a real missed opportunity to have a picture of Jason Alexander (who was in his 30’s during most of Seinfeld’s production) instead of James Gandolfini.
Still true tho
Yep, It’s not only cigarettes, but air pollution too.
And the gabagool
And the gobbledygook
What is gabagool? Looks like some kind of salted meat.
Sounds like the name of the ghost in a horror movie.
Or a 60s horror-themed band name…
Tony and his Gabba-Ghouls
Listen to their greatest hits: Oh Poor You! (Wish The Lord Would Take Me)
At an Irish Bar In Hell
Beware Three o’ Clock
Got No Spleen, Gene!
It’s New Jersey Italian-American for capicola. Kind of like prosciutto
It’s nothing but fat and nitrates!
Wasn’t Tony in his 40’s?
Please say Tony was in his 40’s!!!
George Costanza was in his 30s throughout the run of seinfeld
Tony was 41 per the pilot script but the actor was 38.
AJ is now 41 in 2026.
After a few seasons yeah
When I was in my twenties people thought I looked older. Now I’m in my fifties, and people think I look much younger.
Yeah, around that age is when the accumulated damage of poor choices start becoming more evident, IMHO.
I have a friend who doesn’t sleep, has ADHD, drinks and smokes a lot, uses vyvanse, and he still looks fine as fuck, despite being a little bit overweight. He’s on his late 30s though, good appereance genes for sure.
I guess I’m just perpetually middle-aged looking. Mainly, I’ve gained belly girth, and lost hair, but my skin’s still pretty good because, despite using nothing but soap on it, I stay out of the sun.
