      Wilt Chamberlain was putting numbers up too but he wasn’t wearing his 70s shorts and a headband to attract to women into the '90s.

      Do you really think Mick Jagger can’t get laid unless he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself? This is about reliving their youth and not being willing to accept the passage of time. I think you open yourself up to satire if you’re a public figure who has such glaring insecurities

        I don’t have an opinion on this either way but this description made me cackle

          I’m really not. If you read my original comment you’ll see I was speaking hypothetically about how I would dress in my 70s: i.e. for comfort and not to look appealing to the opposite sex. You made this a weird conversation about how much sex this guy is having and what other male celebrities they’re rumoured to have slept with

              You missed the part where you were supposed to make a joke. The top of this thread is someone asking how I would choose to dress in my 70s. My answer being ‘not like Mick Jagger’ led to you getting in a huff about how much sex he’s had justifying his choices. It wasn’t a joke, but if that was the intention it was poorly executed. Not sure what anyone has to gain by being so defensive about a man who’s been world famous for about 6 decades, though
