Birthday Post Part 2
It is my birthday today.
Here we go:
I want to bring attention to part of a comment by Benjimon76 from my last post:
“You know, I was reading aim.com’s banner from people magazine’s sexiest men alive tonight, I was flabbergasted. Most of the sexiest men alive are in their 40s. The rest are 35 and up! When did it become so sexy to be old?”
It is funny that he mentions this because my wife was talking about an article on the same subject this morning. There was an article about basically the same issue in the Houston Chronicle this morning concerning women.Is it possible to be 35 and older and still be sexy?

first!
most definitely
yes1
just look at Johnny Depp… hehe
Happy Birthday!!
And yes, of course, it’s totally possible, just look at George Clooney
Absolutely! Infact I’d rather go for older men since they show more wisdom and experience… but to me older = sexier ^-^
it’s not possible to be under 35 and sexy!
oh yes yes Johnny Deep…
Depp*
I’m older than you, and I don’t get any complaints!!
I surely hope so.
YES!!!
For women a man being sexy is more than just a visual thing. By that age men have developed some maturity and sensitivity in how they treat and think about women. They also have more self confidence and it reflects in their appearance. It can be very sexy.
Also, for many of us, the older, sometimes more rugged, face is sexier than baby smooth skin. It looks more masculine.
Happy Birthday!
And yes, well, maybe with botox… >.<’
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
sexy is in the mind. Yes…
Definitely.
Yes. Happy Birthday! Feliz Cumpleanos! Have a great day.
It’d better be or I’m in trouble at 44…
Sexy is a frame of mind, not body.
Happy Birthday!
absolutely — sexy is who a person is on the inside, as well as the outside. Sometimes that only comes with age.
As a 47-year old, I’m realizing more and more that age comes with benefits — peace, wisdom, contentment, adventure for a reason, and more. : )
10 years ago. lol.
Hell yes, Vin Diesel is over 35!
Cassanra Peterson (Elvira), Linda Carter, Salma Hayek, Cindy Crawford…come on, ABSOLUTELY!
oh yes. we have richard gere hahaha.
but seriously. i know some people who are getting sexier and sexier as years go by
i think people find them sexy not for their looks but for their antics and classical charm.
Sure.
Sean Connery = Sexiest man Alive.
YAH WHY NOT!!!
Happy Birthday…
My hubby turned 47 last month and HE IS the sexiest man alive! Hands down… definately…
Happy Birthday!!!
Yes, I think so.
well, I hope so.
Absolutely. In fact, most men I admire for looks are all over 35.
Absolutely! Happy Birthday Dan! Hope you have a wonderful day.
Yeah, I definitely think that under 35 is just cute. And 35 and up is sexy. But because you’re 35+ doesn’t mean you’re automatically sexy.
It always depends on the person whether he or she is sexy or not. Even a bald head can be extremely sexy. Look at Lex Luthor in Smallville.
The Eisenhower dollar coin was 1st minted in 1971! You are a young whipper-snapper!
Of course, take a look at Bob Barker!
Yes. And its harder to find younger men sexy when all the little 14 year old girls find him sexy too.
Happy Birthday and older men are way sexier than younger. Woman are atracted to men who know what their doing in and out of the bedroom, and most younger men don’t.
Aboslutely! Happy Birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!
The sexiest people are over 35!
Just ask Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp.
Free-yow.
We’re like a fine wine… we get better with age!
I’m only 34 myself, but I’m not concerned about ageing… it sure beats the alternative. 
Oh yes. At that point, you not only retain your youthful good looks (assuming you had them), but you also gain some poise and distinction. (Well…you can.)
Happy Birthday, Dan! My present will come soon, i’m just taking a little longer than i anticipated.
With age comes wisdom. Wisdom is sexy.
George Clooney
…And happy birthday!
TOTALLY! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!
i didnt attain “hotness” until i turned 30. thats when i heard my sons friend called me a “milf”. i think i take better care of myself now….and finally figured out how to fix my white girl ‘fro
Ralph Finnes? Anybody?
2 words: Sean Connery
Happy Birthday Dan!
sexiER
Ralph Finnes? Anybody?
It’s my birthday today too!
Two words to answer your question: Johnny Depp!
sure.
&Happy Birthday! =)
It’s my birthday today too. November 26. I am 20 years old today.
Happy Birthday Dan.
HAPPY HAPPY!
yup
p.s. happy birthday =P
Oh yeah. Ever heard of Anderson Cooper? Oh lord, I am the most disturbed teenager. But he’s really cute!
(Happy Birthday!)
Men can be old and sexy because they are virile until the day they die. Women are only traditionally sexy in their youth because their eggs are at their healthiest and they’re better prepared to have babies at a young age. It’s unfair. But yes, I happen to find Denzel Washington quite attractive. And he ain’t no spring chicken!
most definitely
sexy is in the eye of the beholder!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Most definitely!
P.S.
Happy Birthday!
Oh definitely
especially if you’re not pretending you’re young and you’re embracing your maturity
Well not “young” that was a bad choice of words, 35 certainly isn’t old, I just mean younger than you were before
Yep. And hey, you’re a Sagittarius. Awesome.
It’s possible…Matthew McCaughney is #1 on my “Potential Soul Mate List” so I would deff say its possible
Happy Birthday Dan!
I hope you’re day is awesome!
yes, it is.
yes. definitely.
Miguel turned 34 this past Wed. I think he is the sexiest thing ever. There is something to be said for maturity and a few wrinkles…even in women…character is a very sexy thing.
Happy Birthday!!
To answer the question, most definitely!! I think older men can be as hot as younger men.
Happy birthday! And sexy? Jah, dude, I think George Clooney is the sexiest man ever, and he’s over 40, isn’t he?
No offense to you, Dan.
Of course it’s possible! 35-40 isn’t old anymore. Some people just start getting into their groove at that point. In fact, one might even be at their sexiest by that time, because by then, they know who they are and have the confidence to show it!
Sure.
Absolutely!
Oh… and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Women are prettier when they are younger, men get more character as they get older.
of course.
Happy Birthday!!!
dude. of COURSE. have you SEEN George Clooney?!?
Think about Sean Connery, George Clooney, and of course Johnny Depp.
Yeah, older men can be sexy. I`m not too sure about older women ..
Happy Birthday.
Men under 35 are still tards.
Oh yes!!
Johnny Depp, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban… Oh boy.
Not just the way they look, but the way they act.
and by the way
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Okay fuck all that wisdom crap, it’s not true. Wisdom doesn’t come with age.
Anyway, if you weren’t sexy when you were 20, chances are you won’t be sexy when you’re 35. It’s not really a matter of what age brings, just that if you’re sexy you’re sexy, despite age.
Three words: Johnny Flippin’ Depp.
:]
Happy Birthday.
happy birthday!
35 isn’t old! 85 might be…but not 35. Happy Birthday Dan!
terri hatcher? c’mon, she’s still pretty good lookin’
pamela andersons, she’s like 40.
jude law? girls go crazy over him?
You’re living proof Dan my friend!
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday!! 
happy b-day
i don’t think that this will help, but you are 2wice my age.

H@ppy birthday to you
E-mail is 30 years old this month
To most of us, electronic mail is a relatively recent phenomenon. But the first e-mail was sent 30 years ago, after a programmer came up with the “@” symbol format for e-mail addresses, writes BBC News Online’s technology correspondent Mark Ward.
Can you remember the first e-mail message you ever sent? Unless you are a very recent convert to the internet, then probably not.
If the subject and content of that first electronic epistle escapes you, don’t worry, you are in good company.

Finnish think the @ symbol looks like a sleeping cat
Ray Tomlinson can’t recall his first e-mail either but, with due respect to yourself, it was certainly more significant.
Mr Tomlinson has been called the father of e-mail because, back in 1971, he invented the software that allowed messages to be sent between computers.
He didn’t invent e-mail itself. That had been around since 1965 when Fernando Corbato and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a program to let the individual users of the institution’s Compatible Timesharing System (CTSS) swap messages.
But that program only let people using one machine communicate with each other.

Happy Birthdayy!
Hell yes it is. I’d give examples, but..I think there’s been enough of them.
Happy birthday, again
Hello? George Clooney?!
you realize what this means?? you can run for president!
DAN ’08!!
Of course! Look at you!
Haha, and George Clooney!
yeah, well, I’ve heard that sex gets even better when you’re over sixty. personally I can’t imagine how absolutely fantastic it must be but if it’s true… can’t wait.
and men do get sexier with age [hmmm, and much better at some points]. if it comes to women… they do too, but have to put much more work into it.
happy ‘Dan-day’ [or D-day if you prefer] once more.
take care,
Mila.
Happy birthday, again!
And of course. Lately I’ve been thinking that it’s obvious that I’m not 21 anymore, b/c I’m finding the George Clooneys and Patrick Dempseys of the world to be more attractive, than the Ashton Kutchers.
“You’re only as old as you feel?”
First thing I thought of.
And yeah, you can be — as long as you take good care of yourself.
yes.there is just something so comforting and safe feeling about a guy who has seen a lot of life,sometimes that “freshness” the younger guys have is just so vulnerable that the confidence that young men have is often seen as arrogance because if it. i like older guys, every single one of my girl friends all agree that older men are better. too bad society still looks at may-september romances as sick and unnatural, because they sort of make more sense.
young men can be cute…but only older guys can truly be sexy.
Yes, you know how old I am and look at me!
So we have these sexy people over 35…
And we have Keith Richards.
How to be sexy, how NOT to be sexy. Seems hate motivated tantrums are very unbecoming, forget the grizzled scruff.
Note to self – Don’t whine. Ever.
For men, yes. For women, no. Very rare.
Interesting how our celebrity fascinations completely follow stereotypes: we like older, established men who could take care of us financially, and love young, nubile women who are still hot and fertile.
like so many other people said before me:: johnny depp.
i think its because a lot of young people are cocky assholes, and that’s not very attractive at all.
I think it’s the whole wisdom and maturity thing that’s so alluring.
most definitely
Brad Pitt anyone?
I thought so.
Ask me when I’m 35!
Oh hell yes !
I dunno. Is George Clooney sexy?
Happy Birthday
Heck yes!
Sure, just look at Johnny Deep or Anderson Cooper.
emphatically yes
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. There are some men that seem to get better with age.
I hope so, since I am older than you. Honestly, I think you can be sexy at almost any age.
Two words….Sean Connery!!!!
Happy Birthday D!
….
……. I haven’t read through the comments, but it woudl be curious to see the list for women and how many are older than 35. The paradigm is changing, but older men have traditionally been seen as sexy, as opposed to women, who are still judged on youthful appearance.
I’m sure it is
oh my yes! Most guys look better at that age than when they were ..20? ..younger..whatever
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just hate how everyone thinks someone’s the sexiest person alive…there are plenty of people sexier than ‘the sexiest man alive’.
helllooooo?! george clooney?! duh!
yeah
Heck yeah! And older!
Yeah. Like you, Dan. Lol, jk.
-KrIsTiN-
You tell me Dan. I am 38. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hell, one can be sexy and 75! Confidence and some nice eyes are all that matters
Maggies
*ahem* (points to johnny depp)
yes.
and happy birthday.
Heck yes!
I’ve had a hot “old guys” list for years.
Included on this list are Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, etc…
Each one of these handsome men look better now than they did when they were in their 20′s.
Rachel
oh my yes… most of my heartthrobs (silent and unrequited as they may be) are over 35, although there are a few considerably younger… and it seems to be the rage among younger men to fall for women over 35, so it cuts both ways…
YES
Definatly. Look at William Petersen and Pierce Brosnan!!
johnny depp is hot
Yeah! Hugh Laurie, Johnny Depp…. lots and lots.
It’s not so much appearance I think as just having that certain aura and charm that some people are able to manipulate as they get older. It’s always that quiet confidence that gets me.
Nope it isn’t, sorry Dan
Yes 30 and a bit more looks real good, in some ways better than us young ones. But I would not want to trade. I like being young and I like the way young guys look.
Ohhhh yes.
hello, Sean Connery and Paul Newman!
alan rickman, richard gere, hugh grant, william peterson….
hell yes! Happy Birthday Dan!
I think so!
Personally-
I have never felt better since I passed 33!
Youth is wasted on the young!
XoxoxoX
First off, happy birthday…
Secondly-
Hugh Jackman
Patrick Dempsey
Hugh Laurie
Richard Gere
And, of course, Sean Connery.
Need I say more?
I forgot Harrison Ford.
So apparently, yes, I did need to say more. :X
Johnny Depp… (he’s relatively old, right?)
ABSOLUTELY!!!
> The young’un lacks a a sense of propriety…. He had better remember he’ll get OLD too, soon enough…. Most of my confidence in several areas came after I passed 40, so……old, bah humbug! (snickerx2)
Peace
HEll Yes!!
Of Course- What are you Nuts ! ? It all started for me After 35- older is truly better !
Age is just a number.
It can be more attractive to be older because boyish/girlish youth can often fall away. Sexyness is based on whether they can attain a level of confidence not how young or old.
yep
Oh absolutely. Have you seen Johnny Depp and Antonio Bandareas ((can’t spell his last name dammit)? They’re well into their 40′s, and i think Antonio Bandareas is in his 50′s, and look at them! Age doesn’t necessarily matter in sexiness and beauty, true people always think younger and youth is sexy, but older people can mopst certainly be sexy looking. That can go for womaen as well, there are some gorgeous 35 and older women.
I definitely have to agree with BelinaRising up there on this one. Kenny Chesney’s my example.
A few people here mentioned Johnny Depp, I’d like to second that motion, haha.
The saying “Men are like wine” was sparked from there Dan dear! I once had a conversation where we women agree wholeheartedly that the more grey hair a man has on his head, the more appealing he is. If added to the fact that he’s successful in his career, OOMPH!
Successful grey haired men are sexy!
George Clooney. Hmmmm…
Yep. There’s still hope for you, Dan.
sure!
danm right it is!
Definitely! Just look at yourself
Hell yes. Most the men I’m attracted to are around that age or higher. I think it has to do with being distinguished and mature.
Oh yeah, Hugh Laurie is sex.
yes
