br asked me to read what he said here and I will say that generally speaking young people don’t appreciate the gift they have of youth and beauty. They see older and old people and NEVER think it will happen to them. But it is all part of the cycle of life.
However gay guys have more of an appreciation of their bodies than straight guys. During my thirty plus years hiring and managing guys in a warehouse, the one’s who started in their teens were often naturally, lean and athletic. Many who came back to visit as they got into their mid and late twenties got heavier and sloppy looking. With diet and exercise they could have stayed hot for a lot longer, but such is the mindset particularly of straight guys. lol
