(39,961 posts)People like to look at people that have great bodies, that's why we have statues that are thousands of years old.
Healthy, fine bodies are always going to be a subject of interest. It is fleeting, yes, because most can only remain that fit for maybe 30 years (meaning about 18 to 48), but let's be honest - a fit, and toned physique male or female is going to want to be looked at.
I have to wonder if some of this is "Well I'm 60 now and mad that I don't look that good" or even moreso "I'm 60 now, and I didn't look that good at 20". I'm sure you were awesome at something else than having a great physique, so don't panic that you didn't get that opportunity. All of us are awesome at something, and we all like to admire mental feats, physical feats, emotional feats and spiritual feats.
Getting in a twit because somebody has physical prowess is silly. Look at Oscar Pistorius, that has physical prowess despite having a disability, but then killed a woman.
