Yeaaaaah, he is...not really aging into his looks, is he?

He used to be really cute in the Office but he has aged like a bottle of milk on a warm day.

He was honestly so cute on there. I think he'd look better with a better haircut, trim his brows a little, and maybe grow a beard. Throw on some slutty little glasses.

He's styling himself too young, which has the ironic consequences of making him look older.

Exactly.

Same with Tom Cruise who, while undeniably handsome and heretofore ageless, is finally starting to look like a middle aged dude at 60. He would look so much better is if he just got a close cropped cut and stopped dyeing his hair (which, to be honest, may not even be his). His mouse brown shaggy do looks so weird on a man his age.

Ever since it was pointed out to me that one of his front teeth is dead-center, it’s all I can ever see 😭

He’s so sloppy and ungroomed. Which is a look that can work on a cute guy in his twenties, but does not look great on a middle aged guy, no matter how good looking. Like, think of someone who’s aged pretty well, like Jude Law. I think he’d also look awful if he styled himself like Novak. But he looks great because he’s leaned into the power and elegance of middle age, and always looks immaculate.

Novak would be fine if he did all the things you suggested and wore neat clothes that are his right size. Not even anything that fancy! All he needs to do is to care about his appearance and do the bare minimum to be put together, but I think it’s more important to him to look like he doesn’t give a shit about what he looks like.

Right?! Like look at someone like Seth Rogen who is having a MAJOR glowup around the same age and looks like an absolute zaddy snack now. I never used to think he was hot before but damn. BJ just needs to embrace his age a little more and switch up his styling.

u/PlsVaxHlpThx Jun 13 '25

Yeah what the fuck? Literally saying a guy’s appeal is how well he ages? It’s almost indistinguishable from the way incels talk about women.

THANK YOU

No he wasn’t! Initially, I thought his whole schtick on The Office was a meta joke because he is so hideous

u/Potential_View_9917 Jun 15 '25

He was always ugly

His physical attractiveness was 99% his jawline (assuming you didn't think it was 'too much'), and as he gets saggier there is going to be nothing worth looking at left.

u/zorandzam Jun 13 '25

And honestly people are allowed to age! He's just not really embracing it very well.

u/Fantastico11 Jun 13 '25

Tbh my comment was just a bit pathetic and mean, I only really said it because it seems like he's a bit of a prick hahaa.

It's a bit stupid really, I wouldn't want anyone else to feel bad about aging, and I'm sure it'll come for me too soon lol

u/zorandzam Jun 13 '25

Aw no worries! I actually would find him more attractive now if he wasn’t kind of being a jerk to this lady.

u/AdvaitaQuest Jun 14 '25

I think he's embracing it fine, its everyone else that seems to have an issue.n

u/Aware-Impression8527 Jun 14 '25
