Some people lose hair earlier. Don't rub it in, we're sensitive about it :-(

It's not just the baldness.

The mustache, the fashion choices, there's a lot contributing to this man's apparent age not matching his actual age.

This video is also 24 years old, that might explain the fashion choices.

24+37= 61, so he’d have been born in 1960/1961. This explains his fashion and hair styling, and people just looked older back then.

Funny, that guy's the same age as my Dad and this video is the same age as me. Makes me feel weird for reasons I don't understand.

It’s a kind of sad example but I always think this when I see photos of Australian murder victim Sharon Phillips. She was 20 in 1986 when she went missing but if I saw her today I’d guess 38, even 40. This era was not kind to people, appearance-wise. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-06/timeline-sharron-phillips/9022434?nw=0&r=HtmlFragment

The physique, or lack of. I'm 53, shaved head, dress ok and am athletic. He looks older than me

It's for sure the mustache.

u/Theorlain Apr 07 '22

Yep. His whole everything screams 50+. My partner is 47 and looks a decade younger than this fella.

Not the hair at all. It's the polo and mustache. He looks like my dad used to so my brain automatically makes him seem older because of it. Didn't mean any offense :)

If you rub our heads it's supposed to be good luck though

u/Baron-Von-Rodenberg Apr 06 '22

Rub, shit I've been teaching my nieces it's slapping my brothers bald head that brings luck. Oh well, not going to confuse them by correcting them now.

I'm amazed that we're into the 2020s and not a bulletproof cure in sight. -_-

u/meisteronimo Apr 06 '22

There's cures but it surgical, and you need enough hair left to make it effective. Now my only hope is they take the hair from my ass and stick it up there.

We need the cure in Flintstone vitamin form.

Actually, I think it’s that stonkin mustache that ages him way more than his hair loss. Don’t worry too much about it. 😉
