Why does the world love the young???

[Testosterone boy]

Seems that everybody loves a 20 year old. As one gets older, one feels things changing. Instead of most people giving you a deal because you are young and poor, seems that most will rip you off thinking you are prosperous.

How many actors and actresses have really hit it big after turning 45? Damn few but their career is really only half over at 45.

are you over 45?

Thank you for the meaningful question. Usually Goatslayer jumps in right about now and adds a comment.

our society perpetuates youth and adolescence....our media glorifys it every day in every aspect....this country does not have the respect or desire to hold value to the people who are older....such as the Orient....its a shame, they have so much wisdom, but we do not listen....we hold our atheletes and super-models, actors, actresses with high regard....there is no room there for elders in this arena..

With all the grace of a grenade.

Absolutely could not agree more.

It is weird to feel like doing triathlons and screwing three times a day yet be called old.

what PBR said.

I would argue the prevailing rejection or debasement of traditional religious values has opened the door for commercial enterprise to successfully seize on humans most basic instinct - procreation and sexual attraction –to promote their products.

Sex sells and consequently we're surrounded with it in every form of advertising and even in regular non-commercial content because the sex sells the sex!

But the pervasive nature of sexual advertising and the relative moral ambivalence to its presentation normalizes its occurrence in the minds of the general public and soon 'all things sexual' becomes an expected part of everyday behaviour via desensitization and emulation. It becomes part of our culture. Which reinforces its presentation in media and commercial content.

oh yea. To answer the question. Imo, youth is prized because its the physical body which is the primary component of sexual attraction and fundamental to stimulating the procreative urge. Young people are vibrant, firm, lacking the saddle bags of older folks and generally look pretty fucking tight.

So.

Thats just my 2 cents.
