    I’m fifty. My wife is 49, her friends and my life long friends are around the same age and they definitely include a few grandmas. In 2023 fifty does not look like fifty did when I was a teen. The amount of smoking hot women in their fifties that pass for later thirties and early forties is incredibly high.

    EDIT: Case in point, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Why Aunt May ever looked like an octogenarian is beyond me.

      Coincidentally, the decline of smoking probably had something to do with this.

        I never thought of it, but you’re probably right. Most everyone I know has quit smoking by around 2003.

          now we gotta get folks to realize alcohol is shit and poison like nic

          at least curb the superiority complex people seem to have over drinking large amounts of poison to feel the same as a couple bong rips with 10x the internal damage

      The protagonist was a 27 year old actor playing a schoolkid so I have to assume that everyone in the Raimi universe ages about 75% faster than we do

      Yeah as a 29 year old I was flirting with a woman I thought was only a bit older than me, then after a bit of making out we were chatting and learned her daughter and I are the same age…

        I ain’t complaining. Google Photos gave me an album from 2008 and my wife looks exactly the same (hair dye is magic). Sadly, I look like I’m pushing seventy and dating a woman half my age. Nevermind… I’m ok with that.
