Mid-80s ...



Today ...



Excerpt: "In a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly McGillis — who played Charlie Blackwood, Maverick’s instructor, lover and Everly Brothers serenadee in Top Gun — confirmed that she wasn’t asked to return for the sequel.

“I’m old and I’m fat and I look age-appropriate for what my age is, and that is not what that whole scene is about,” the 62-year-old actress, who also starred in Witness and The Accused told the outlet in a phone interview. “But ... I’d much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff.”

She added that she is “glad” for Jennifer Connelly, who will be taking Cruise’s breath away this go-round."

The tweets at the article are bitching about why there aren't 60-something women in the flick.

Guys don't find old broads attractive, with rare exceptions, sorry.

Women find older men attractive in many cases.

The real mystery is why the scientologist dwarf is seen as appropriate to star as anything else than The Mummy.

That's why most people just marry away, about 50% split, the rest stay together for love, money, or companionship.

I’m sorry, but this woman could have taken better care of herself instead of letting her body bloated like that. Laziness has its price.

Come on folks, our most important asset is our health. We have to take care of ourselves so we have the health to take care of our loved ones. When we’re young, we’re trading our youth and health for money, but when we’re old, we cannot trade money for our youth and health.

Stop with all the excuses and get in better shape NOW. Your body, your mind and your loved ones will thank you.

Sure, Val's got that long term alcoholic visage, however, he's still doing better than Kelly.

Just look at Pierce Brosnan's wife, before and today ...



Pierce in his mid-to-late 60s has a decent dad body while his former model of a wife is Shamo The Killer Whale.

TL;DR: Feminist Dating App created to not let men pester women and have women make the first move is... not delivering, says Feminist Professor. "I feel vulnerable, not empowered". Irony that society expects men to put themselves out and initiate contact, is of course lost in Feminist Solipsism.

A feminist professor complained in a blog post Sunday that the Bumble dating app failed to deliver on its promise of female empowerment.

Writing for The Conversation, health studies researcher Treena Orchard said she joined Bumble in part because it requires women to ask out men. As she noted, the app markets itself as a “100 percent feminist” solution to misogyny on other apps.

However, Orchard soon decided that being “empowered” is sexist, too. She expressed resentment at having to perform the traditionally male task of sending “invitation after invitation to potential matches” while the men “largely sit and wait for their invites to come.”

“Will he respond? Will this one like me?” she recalled agonizing. “Putting myself out there repeatedly made me feel vulnerable, not empowered.”

To cope with her hardships on Bumble, Orchard began documenting her experiences on the app with academic rigor. The results were not pretty. By her count, only 60 percent of her pickup lines were successful, and she reported going on dates with “just ten men in five months, which is a nine percent ‘success rate.'”

Bumble was the best dating app hands down for men. Sit back and relax and make the do the bidding, and the chicks looked 100 times better than on Tinder and usually had their shit together. One good invention by a womyn, even though it backfired for some of them ;)
26   Ceffer   2019 Jul 30, 11:45pm  

It's a rigid biologic rule. My guess is it establishes the nature of the sexual bargaining contract. A woman is approached and at once has the negotiating upper hand. She has something of value i.e. femininity, beauty, desirability, reproductive potential etc. but it is entirely passive and she gets to judge the 'consideration' that passes in order to share her companionship and potential mating behavior. The man has to demonstrate that he has something to offer, and run the gauntlet of shit testing, because by nature he is valueless, unpredictable, uncivilized or cheap.


Whatever fem psycho invented the app took the Hollywood trope to heart i.e. the one you see relentlessly in which the 'beautiful' but unattended female makes the first move, or is friendly to whatever conversation the man wants to have with her, and BROADCASTS her eagerness to jump into bed. Apparently, this oft repeated fiction somehow subliminally appeals to both men and women viewers. However, in real life, as the fembots discovered, it can lead them into a nervous breakdown to actually have to approach men and experience rejection. The biological force field is so extreme and stressful to them that it can drive them bonkers (or more bonkers than they already are).

That’s almost perfectly flipped from the usual model for men. I used Match back when it was still a little weird to do a dating website, and I figure about ten percent of the women I sent emails to replied back and were interested in meeting up. This made me somewhat discouraged, and caused me to question my own attractiveness. Then I got to see the other side (from a woman friend I was not and never did date, although she was attractive enough). She just created her profile and let it sit, contacting almost nobody. Meanwhile she got to sort through dozens of contact attempts by men every day. She definitely felt spoiled for choice, and became very picky about whom she would reply to.
However, things were not as they seemed. My coping strategy was to increase volume of my contact requests, because I recognized it was a numbers game. Women probably didn’t even look at all the emails they received, so sending more was the ticket. This worked and my dates went up to two or three per week.
For my friend, though, surprisingly her dates were less numerous than mine. Many of the men she responded to didn’t bother to respond back, or simply didn’t allot her much time for their short simple communications. This led her to feel confused and somewhat rejected.
I explained that since she was only responding to the most objectively handsome guys, they were also the ones getting the most responses and dates. Unless she made a better connection, like meeting in person fairly soon, there was little chance of any sort of relationship because those guys would write her off as too much work.

So this thing cuts both ways. Keep in mind that this was like 15 years ago. Shit has undoubtedly changed a lot since then, but I expect that human nature has not. What I hear from my single friends now is that online dating is the norm, and chicks are more whorish than ever before. Especially the over 30 ones, who treat dates as a sexual try-out where performance seems to be the requirement for consideration for a relationship. The under 30 girls know they’re more of a commodity and require more game.

It wasn’t all that long ago that folks didn’t live beyond 60 in the USA.

And Val Kilmer has had radio- and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. Probably caused by a virus from too much pussy munching.

Holy cow , whale!

Tom Cruze still comes as main actor. She might get redneck mom or grandma role.

Media has made pussy way more precious than what it is.

In some countries, womens father had to pay to get them married.

In Asia women are considered burdensome so many aborted female fetuses.

Amazing analysis of dating, but have you used bumble?

The chicks almost always open conversation w emojis and/or "hi". It's digital equivalent of batting eyelashes across a room. It's still the man's job to open an interesting convo and ask the girl out.

What the author is probably lamenting is the male tendency to swipe right to everyone w/o looking, then pick through whoever contacts you. That's what I do... And yes I ignore the ugly ones (most of them).

Long story short, author is pissed cause she's not hot.

I'll be honest, this is what scared me away from white women in general as a long term relationship.

I can't stand people who let their bodies go just because they're old. Most of my friends from college who ended up marrying Caucasian are either divorced, or still happily married, but to a woman that is pushing 200 pounds. My wife has never exceeded 110 pounds in weight and it wasn't through vigorous exercise, just not eating like a pig everyday.

Asian? Good move, especially if she's also not born here.

Asian, eastern euro, and even Latin American women still appreciate strong men. It's western euro and big city US liberals who think women should be men, and men should be betas. Vomit.

I agree. Born in the U.S seems to carry the 50% divorce rate with it too. US Women just seem so entitled and spoiled compared to women overseas.

My friends are confused when my wife admits to giving me shoulder and back rubs after work, like it's some sort of amazing thing to happen outside of an anniversary.

Agreed. The only woman who had a shot at breaking Rin-Wah law was a Chilean visiting scholar up in New England.

But by that time, it was too late, the Laws were passed and Rin-Wah was suppose to spend the rest of his days boinking hoes & not settling down.

Dating is ok for a while, as long as the male knows it's might not last forever.

Women age more quickly than men in general; the ones I know who did are generally lazy and don't watch what they eat or do or rather do not do (exercise).

A young female can do no exercise and look perfect; this may last her up to 20 years when she's 40. Above 40 her innate laziness shows signs.

I have generally avoided booze, smoking, drugs, staying up all night, etc. and avoid stress as much as I can.

I also tried to stay active and luckily I didn't get huge and fat nor am I bald, so I appear younger than my age; this is very helpful in social situations.

When I look at the girls I knew in college on Facebook today some of them are almost frightening.

Save up your dough guys; you can go to Florida and be rejuvenated in all kinds of ways; there are doctors there who do that for their living.
