Found a picture of me winning a marathon at 30. My girlfriend said l looked hot. Should l at 51 assume l am not anymore? She is 51 too.
Dude you are 51 and that insecure. I am 42 years old completely bald and yeah, I look at pictures from a few years back and think I looked great when I had a full head of hair, but you got to be able to embrace the changes of age or you will be depressed! The number of former runners that sit around talking about the best days they had being as a runner have failed to move on. You have to find new drives that come with age be competitive at something new. Did you look better at 30 probably.
be wary the 25% of middle aged men and women that think "young" is hot. on the extremes look at kray kray women teachers and their high school boys, even more of that going on than the news reports. even if she doesn't act on it, it is still kray kray.
The last time I ran a marathon (2:59) I was 34 years old. I crossed the finish line looking borderline anorexic, severely dehydrated with salt rings around my eyes, weak looking toothpick style legs, staggering like an old man and wearing a t shirt that looked a few sizes too big for my skinny frame. After a minute or so I promptly threw up the remaining contents of my stomach - mostly yellow bile.
Men do not understand the female gaze at all. Dedication is hot. A competitive spirit is hot. Perseverance is hot. Whether you’re the same man at 51 as you were at 30 has nothing to do with whether your abs were more defined back then.

Without going to the extremes, young is hot (30 is a lot hotter than 51) and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I have pics of 20 years ago where I look older than I do now (around 50). 100+ mile weeks in the midday sun were brutal on the skin. I've been avoiding the sun for a long time now from that experience.

Maybe you are one of the 25%. The hottest girls are more age appropriate, find yourself a "last pretty" premenopausal early 40's who is BURNING hot. She will make you go find a corner to curl up in and cry after she rocks your world. Personal advice they are good to be dating, not married to!

My husband is 49. I have told him how attractive he was when he was young - he was hot. Is he still hot? Well yes, but not as much as he was 30. But I appreciate that he runs daily and stays fit. Most 50 year old men are actually grossly unfit, though a significant minority take care of themselves. Everyone, though, is less hot at 50 than 30. That's just life. Age bows to no one. I am 44, and I was way hotter twenty years ago. I'm sure your 51 year old girlfriend was, too.
Muscle mass and strength is the determining factor in life longevity. Get in the weight room and lift 3 days per week for 30 min. Gain 10-20lbs of lean mass and get some solid lifts and you will look much better. Muscular or skinny is much more desirable to women. It's in their DNA to attract to strong males.
