WHERE HAVE ALL THE HANDSOME 45YR OLDS GONE (128)

Did you do a search under 39 year olds.

they are probably out there pretending to be 35 y/o, driving sports car, and trying to be Dr. Christian Troy (nip/Tuck)

I just don't think it's reasonable to expect someone to look good or take care of themselves physically after their mid-forties.

Just my .666 worth...

A note about 25 year olds and intelligence...I can think of at least one 25 year old lady here who would shame most people in terms of intelligence, grace, and even maturity...a highly unique individual she is, however...

Fifty seven this year, own teeth, hair gone grey
but still there.
Body in great shape, still rock climb to a faily high
standard, off road mountain bike, ski, hill walking
on a regular basis and long may it continue.

Handsome?......Thats not for me to say.

Hair falls out and turns grey, eyes are fading, muscle tone is fading...its part of life.
If I had a few thousand dollars,with a little plastic and duct tape, and 4-8 hours a day to work out, than maybe I could put things back together but who has the time or money....

I better shut up now....good luck with your fantasy quest...

So if men aren't past it at 45+, then why do so many men consider women over 45 past it?? Too many men behave as though we should be put out to pasture.....

Brede Arkless, nee Boyle (10 August 1939–18 March 2006), was a leading female climber and mountaineer, and was actively involved in the all-women's climbing movement. She was born in Manchester, England, of Dublin parents. In 1964 she married fellow mountaineer Geoff Arkless, and together they started a mountain school in Wales. She made several all-women trips to the greater ranges, while still being able to rear eight children. She also organised women-only climbing courses, together with the noted climber and feminist Jill Lawrence. She was only the second woman to qualify, in the 1960s, as a British Mountain Guide, and was the first woman to qualify for admission to the International Mountain Guides' Association, UIAGM. Increasingly involved in all-women climbing and guiding, she eventually separated from her husband, moved to New Zealand in 1990 and became a New Zealand citizen in 1995. While in her fifties she guided a total of 22 ascents of Aoraki/Mount Cook.

In 1998, an expedition party of five including a 59-year-old Arkless succeeded in crossing the Garhwal region of the Indian Himalaya between the Hindu temples of Badrinath and Kedarnath, a feat that had only been accomplished once before, in 1934. In 2000 Arkless tried to become the oldest woman to ascend Mount Everest but failed when she had to abandon her attempt at 8,500 m (28,000 ft) due to severe altitude sickness. The experience left her disillusioned: "Everest is full of non-climbers and rich people. Everest is all about summit fever and people who shouldn't be where they are. One guy said 'How many 8000m peaks have you climbed?' When I said 'One', he turned away."

Arkless died of pancreatic cancer, aged 66. After being diagnosed Arkless rode her bicycle more than 150 miles over high mountain passes from her home to a hospital in Christchurch for exploratory surgery, which revealed that her illness was inoperable.



Your right Alison...some women are never put out to pasture.

R.I.P. Brede...she was a tough old gal.
