The discussion centers around the perception of romance for individuals over 40, sparked by a comment suggesting that older people are too old for romance. Participants argue against this notion, highlighting that many actors and actresses over 40 remain attractive and relevant in romantic roles. A list of notable actresses over 40 and 50 is provided, showcasing their continued appeal. The conversation also touches on the idea that romance among older individuals may not be portrayed as dramatically interesting as that of younger couples, with some participants asserting that older people can still engage in adventurous romantic experiences, albeit with less youthful angst. The dialogue further explores the evolving standards of beauty and attractiveness as individuals age, emphasizing that many actresses are becoming more appealing as they grow older. Overall, the thread celebrates the attractiveness and romantic potential of older individuals while challenging stereotypes about age and romance in media.

And what are the chances that all the random ones you see are actresses? (I noticed we sort of ignored the actors and just focused on the women.)

What I do hate is the world's most beautiful people lists that magazines put together. Miraculously, all of the world's most beautiful people are apparently celebrities.
Granted, we don't have pictures of everyone in the world to judge, so they just use celebrities because that's who everyone knows. But they should call it "world's most beautiful celebrities". At least specify that the only ones eligible are celebrities.

Now that I agree with. If it were practical to post pictures of random men and women in their 40's+ it would be a good thread, but I think that would be verboten. Those magazines have such a homogeneous beauty...

I think he didn't read the title of the thread, as I know of few college "girls" in their 40's.

Yes I did read the title of the thread. My point was a contrarian view to paying unwarranted attention to Hollywood celebs. Perhaps, I should have started a new thread, but I thought maybe some of you don't know that there are millions of hot/sexy/beautiful/gorgeous ladies in their 40's, 30's, 20's...out there around you everywhere. One only needs to open their eyes to see them! and once you do, you will find it hard to even name one hot actress anymore.

I see some ladies out and about who do look hot for 40. But I don't know they're 40. They could be a suddenly not-so-hot 30.

I hate it too! specially when I hear the word "the hottest sexiest man/Woman alive" that's the most absurd thing I hear every now and then.

Margulies, now 43, moves into my top five. Note the lack of tan lines. Do not handle near flammables.

A long time ago, when I was about 7 years old. That was definitely pre-40's for her.

Oh, and thanks for the photo -- I saw the link when I clicked "Quote" on your post, but for some reason it does not display when normally viewing your post. Ah, the memories.

It is summer, and the ladies come out to jog. No need to convince me *wistful sigh*

Looks like she got her hair caught in a fan.

I am a fan, although I cannot claim to have caused the disorder in her hair in that picture.

I think it looks fantastic myself.

She has a fine body, but an especially attractive face. I love her nose. :)

She has acted in many music videos. She also was on a recent episode of American Idol.
Maybe I did push the actress part a bit.

Not to mention that in 9 years I don't think he "girl next door" looks will hold.

My mistake on the JLH, I thought I edited that before anyone could comment. I really thought she was older than she is (no offense Jennifer).

Was going to add Penelope Cruz, she is not 40 either.

This is a strange idea. Someone thinks that men may not be noticing the beautiful/sexy women about them on a daily basis. Even the gay men I know check out women fairly often.
