The years are catching up
Saw some pics of her in the latest Penny Dreadful series and was shocked. Past her prime in my opinion.
shareConsidering that people are living to be over 100, when is a woman's prime? 18? So someone over 35 is just suddenly no longer desirable? Why don't we just euthanize women when they hit 30 and then men would never have to have their eyesight graced with a woman who is past her prime.
sharePrime literally mean the first, the best, the most youthfull period...
Dormer is 38. Basically entering middle age. But I suspect the OP might be joking about this photo https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10361016/mediaviewer/rm2545070849 of what I assume is her playing some time of frumpy alter-ego character... She looks pretty good in other photos...
it doesn't mean the rest of her years aren't worthwhile... or that people won't be lusting after her for years to come (people are for far less attractive and far older women)... She's plenty good looking... or that she has nothing to offer but her looks...
it just means that compared to her best years, she's not as youthfully beautiful (in the Op's estimation)... this will be the case regardless of how many centuries she lives to be, or how good nutrition and cosmetic surgery is (i hope she stays natural)...
People still line up to watch Judy Dench and Meryl Streep act... not for their looks (although Streep did do a romcom with Alec Baldwin not too long ago)...
No one is casting Jude Law as the pretty boy anymore, now that he is old and bald... Yet he is still a great actor (Black Sea was solid) and, according to my female friends, still handsome (they're all watching the Young Pope)... Yes. It would be correct to say that he is past his "prime". It doesn't mean he is no longer worthwhile...
No. Prime means THE BEST. Infanthood is not the best. Geez, you are a dimwit.
shareno one mentioned children... that's gross...
you seem upset at the world for valuing women's youth, i.e. their best period... it's the nature of our species... i suggest you come to terms with it... or not... it won't change reality that a woman's prime is much younger than 38 years old...
So you don’t know the line from Robert Browning’s poem, “The last of life, for which the first was made.”
And you do not share Asian culture’s reverence and respect for age and accumulated experience and wisdom. You unfamiliar with Mark Twain’s jape, “When I was 20, I couldn’t believe how stupid my father was. By the time I was 30, I was very impressed with how much the Old Man has learned.” And you’ve never slept with a mature woman who actually knows how to rock your world, I guess. I envy you. You have so much to anticipate in your future.
I don't disagree with any of what you said... but even old wise men recognise that a woman's prime beauty years are her youth...
shareFinal try at the Philistine: Beauty is more than meets the eye. Beauty is the totality of one’s substance, and it comes from the inside, from one’s soul, substance and experience. Now I am done with you.
share"Prime" comes from Latin, "Primus", meaning "first".
Go on and call others dimwits...
Also, a WOMAN in her prime is obviously not referring to an infant.
Jesus it's too easy to insult you, so I just skip that part.
I have to agree with the OP. I saw some photos of her from recent times without the makeup and such and she wasn't aging very well. Her face looked like she was way way too thin. If I hadn't know better I might have thought she had been very sick or something. She really could use about 5 or 10 pounds of weight which might help her face fill out a bit because now it looks bony.
sharewho feeds their cats then?
shareWhy stop at women? Let's just euthanize everyone who is not good looking, rich and successful. The ugly poor losers are living shitty, unhappy lives and wasting precious resources < /sarcasm >
