This is What 71 Looks Like....

[Westminster]

I don't Christie herself cares about her infertility at this point. She's had 3 kids. Her kids were born when she was 31, 41, and 44. She went through IVF to get the last kid.

With her generation (Boomers), almost all of them had children. Wait until 2035-2040 when Millennial females start reaching their infertile period in large numbers and fewer of them had children.

Christie Brinkley's mating history has not been impressive. She has been divorced 4 times, all divorces happening before her 55th birthday. Her 3rd marriage seemed impulsive and short lived (1995-1996).

It seems like her highest quality marriage was her first one, when she was 21-27.

I don't think most of her prospective options at this point care that she is infertile. Most of them don't want kids at this point in their lives either because most of them are already fathers to adult children. At her age, merging 2 sets of adult children would be a pain in the butt.

There are 2 recent articles about her relationship history. The 2nd article contains the picture that @Sega Genesis posted at the start of this thread.

Christie Brinkley Isn't Giving Up on Love

The 71-year-old supermodel, who recently published a memoir, discusses her marriages, relationships and heartbreaks. “I have enough self-esteem to know that in the right arms I’m lovable,” she said.

Britney Spears is 43 and pushing infertility. Once again, I doubt she cares. She had 2 children. Unlike most celebrities and early Millennials, she had her children earlier in life. She was 23 and 24 when her children were born. That sounds so young now but that's right in the time of peak fertility.

The recent pictures that I have seen of Britney Spears have not impressed me.

I'm not suggesting that she or any other woman of that age cares about her inferility. A lot of young men would though, that's my point.

A lot of young men would though, that's my point.

I agree with your point.

Multiple men younger than her on this thread have said good things about her looks. @zekko @Westminster @Divorced w 3 and myself

Even though she looks good, she's 71. That's old age. 55-65 year old men (younger than her) wouldn't be interested in that long term and those men don't typically want kids.

It's difficult for me to think about who would be interested in a longer term relationship with Christie Brinkley right now.

I don't even think a lot of men in their 40s-50s would be interested in short term sex with her.

 

[SW15]

Being resilient helps and the ability to let stuff go versus carrying it around with ya infecting your vibe/energy, attitude and everything around you.

That's the sort of attitudinal thing that will typically help a 30+ woman in the mating market. That can only go so far in offsetting looks declines.

None of us on this forum know what it is like to go on a date with Christie Brinkley. We also don't know how she acts in relationships. Her poor relationship history is out there for potential suitors. No one on this forum is likely to ever encounter her in the real world and have the option to ever date her.

Her 4 divorces are a functional of her outdated Boomer worldview. With the newer adult generations, fewer people get married. The entering middle age Millennial generation had a lot of Boomer parents get divorced. Many of them (both male and female) don't want to make that commitment to marriage knowing that it is likely to end.

There are many 40 year old Millennial females out there who have never married. Many have spent the last 20-25 years riding the penis carousel.

Christie Brinkley's 39 year old daughter Alexa Ray Joel has never married. Alexa has been in the same relationship since 2013. That's a relationship duration that has lasted longer than some of Christie's marriages. Alexa hasn't had any kids either, which is more common for Millennials.

I think Jane Seymour held up better. I mean she looks her age now but for a long time she was pretty fine, and she claims not to have had work done. And she's British so that put her at a huge disadvantage, lol.

Susan Sarandon too. Great titties for an old broad.

That and the fact she has 3 children from 3 different fathers means she's a total mess. So yeah, I agree the wrapping is well preserved (never mind the photos, I looked at some videos and paid attention to her her neck and hands), but at the end of the day it's what's inside that counts.

Recently? She’s a train wreck now (but so am I). I’m talking peak Britney- late 90’s, early 2,000

Peak Britney was awesome on looks. Britney's decline started with the Kevin Federline romance in 2004, which resulted in 2 kids born in 2005 and 2006.

That and the fact she has 3 children from 3 different fathers means she's a total mess.

That is a total mess. It seems like this factor doesn't get enough attention. When she does it as an affluent female, it doesn't seem as negatively perceived as when a poorer person does it.

Also, right now, all those children have reached adulthood. The youngest is 27.

Christie Brinkley does have some regrets in her total mess of a relationship history.

NY Times: What do you regret most?

Brinkley: Not being able to sit with an open photo album with my husband and go, “Look, remember this? Remember the kids?"

She would have liked to have had a marriage that lasted and was reasonably good. There is a different celeb female who is 65+ who can claim that. It is Denise Austin, who is 68 years old and has been in the same relationship since 1981. Denise and her husband Jeff married in 1983 and have remained. In 2012, the NY Times did an article on the longevity of the marriage (see below), just as their kids had reached adulthood (kids were 19 and 22 at the time).

Denise Austin is likely glad she's aged with the same man and her relationship history has been less of mess. Peak Denise Austin on looks wasn't near peak Christie Brinkley on looks, as evidenced from the wedding day photo from Denise. Denise started to look really good in her 30s when she got a better stylist and started dying/straightening hair.

Denise and Jeff Austin, Blessed With Enthusiasm (Published 2012)

Married 29 years, the fitness guru and the big brother of the tennis star Tracy Austin keep it together with positive attitudes and a determination not to take anything for granted.

thoughts, @Sega Genesis?

My thoughts?
(1) Did 'she' used to be a 'he'? Or still a he?

(2) Clearly she hasn't followed Christie's beauty regimen!

I agree about Susan Sarandon! She's 78!

And Alana Stewart who's 80! Recent pic.

I think we're all train wrecks in some form or fashion. Unless you've been living under a rock most of your life.

Christie Brinkley on Howard Stern (in 2015) discussing how she met Billy Joel..

She was 61 at the time!!

They met in 1983; she didn't even know who he was!

She looked good at 61. That's not what I would have associated with a 61 year old woman.

 

[Sega Genesis]

She looked good at 61. That's not what I would have associated with a 61 year old woman.

It's not just her looks though is it? It's her personality, her "girlish" nature, her essence.

I have a ways to go but this is what I aspire to be when I'm older!

 

[Sega Genesis]

She looked good at 61. That's not what I would have associated with a 61 year old woman.

Also and be honest. IF you didn't know her age, how old would you presume her to be in this interview?

 

[SW15]

IF you didn't know her age, how old would you presume her to be in this interview?

Around 45-50. It's clear she was an older woman here but not 61.

It's not just her looks though is it? It's her personality, her "girlish" nature, her essence.

There's a case for her personality making her seem a bit younger. Many 61 year old women would come off as more old fashioned.

Men are more visual and consider looks far more than personality.

 

[Sega Genesis]

Men are more visual and consider looks far more than personality.

OK that's fair. For me as a woman, I consider everything not just looks but can appreciate that many men do judge by just looks so again, fair.

For me, I think her hands give away her age more than face or body.

 

[SW15]

I think her hands give away her age more than face or body.

That's probably true both now at 71 and when she was 61.

Some women have certain body parts that give away their ages more than others.

I've seen women in their early 40s with aging arm skin.
