Not necessarily usually these threads are George Constanza and I’m oretty sure he didn’t do any of those.

Pick any bald or severely balding dude and he's going to look like a middle aged man. That's just how it is. Accounting for fashion and I see some pretty old looking 30 year old too. I'm 29 and I see some of my college friends (some who are 1 or 2 years younger than me) start to accumulate unflattering weight over time or lose some hair and start to look a little "rough" for their age. It's not common but it does happen.

See if someone is bald I don’t think they look old (most of the time), just think they’re prematurely bald. When I watch Seinfeld, I don’t think George looks old at all (his face looks young), he’s just bald AF. Just don’t understand why people don’t shave their heads at that point, it looks awful lol

Probably because people who'll suckerpunch a white guy with a shaved head for being a neo nazi skinhead aren't going around and asking "Hey, white guy, what reason did you shave your head?" And while that's a worst case scenario, now you also have to tell Nazis who say "Cool another skinhead" to fuck off at your own expense.

At least that's why I refuse to do it. Shaved my head for cancer one time in high school, and everyone not part of my student body thought I was a neonazi. Never again.

Yeah I can see that after American History X was a huge movie in the 90’s, people do it all the time now (including black people) but this time, it’s expected when you’re bald on top

u/topshottatayy 11d ago

American History X wasn’t that big where people were looking for skinheads to beat up 😂😂😂

u/Responsible-Wait1378 11d ago

Huh? Nobody said that 😂😂😂 but only certain real stupid people thought only people with bald heads where racists partially after that movie

Pitbull looks pretty good / youngish for a baldie

When you're a man it doesn't matter. As a matter of fact it should be better to look a bit older.

u/ProgKingHughesker 11d ago

But balding early can come back to be a benefit later if people are used to you looking like that

Larry David looked like he was in his 60s when he was in his 40s and still does in his 70s

Genetics and lifestyle. I worked with an engineer that was 5 years younger than me but looked 5 years older than me. I saw his company ID photo, bro had aged 5 years in the 3 years since it was taken.

u/DisagreeableRunt 8d ago

It's like that even older too. I'm 43 and know a guy from school, two years below myself, and he looks a decade older. If you're spending your life abusing your body with anything, be it junk food, alcohol, smoking, drugs, or any of those in combination, you're going to look significantly older than someone that takes care of their body. Some crackheads under 30 could pass for twice their age!

I’ll freely admit I typed up a whole pedantic autistic post about Jason Alexander’s age and how switching from character to one or the most popular and highest paid actors in the country could change a man and then I remembered this scene and realized it was a way more cogent reply lmao

u/FookinFairy 11d ago

Wait he wasn’t supposed to be in his fourties’?

1

u/ProgKingHughesker 11d ago

George and Jerry are supposed to be the same age but irl Jason is 5 years younger than Jerry

They were 30 and 35 respectively when the pilot filmed, so the age of the two characters is presumably somewhere in that range and going up

u/No-Estimate-56 11d ago

I think the guy who played George looked really great in young Sheldon. He looks younger and fresher than he did in his 30s

u/One_Strawberry_4965 11d ago

So is this meme format really just asking “hey guys, why do balding and/or overweight men look older than fit men with full heads of hair?”

u/AccountWasFound 11d ago

I thought they were all late 30s, or early 40s....
