So many middle aged Irishmen have let themselves go

It's a pity Aongus Von Bismarck appears to be too busy at the cutting edge of the financial world to post, he could educate all the angry middle-aged men about how to impress us ladies.

He can cook to Michelin Star level, has an impressive grooming regime and is quite the sharp dresser. According to the good man himself, of course.

This isn't to do with nationality or gender. Lots of people who reach middle age start putting on a little extra weight or stop caring as much about how they look, and that's fine if they're fine with it.

I do think Irish people can be less bothered about how they look or how other people in general though. My boyfriend is an American in his early 40s and in really good shape, but recently said to me he didn't want to start slacking off working out in case he ended up like the men who get pot bellies once they hit 40. Here's the thing about that though, I can appreciate that he's fit and hot as fcuk, but I have exes who've had extra weight and it didn't bother me at all and nor did I think they "let themselves go". Once someone is healthy and confident in themselves then that's all that matters.

On the fashion aspect, that's another thing, he used to feel like he was looking like a homeless person if he went outdoors in jogging pants anywhere except to work out/exercise. I love my jogging pants (and his arse in jogging pants!) and he's since relaxed a bit on that since meeting me and being in Ireland quite often. But when he's over in Ireland (he lives in Sweden), he's always commenting about the people going about in tracksuits 24/7 here as it's just not common over there and it would be pointed out. You should have seen his face when he saw someone in PJs in tesco🤣

Op is this you?

I'm fine with them worn to a restaurant, nice with a blazer. I'm grand with cargo pants too. I have my own, albeit being more of a skirts/dresses fan, so I'd be a bit hypocritical not to be ;)

He's not, he's looking at the space where there is a complete lack of an arse....get it right!

I have a book about him on Shakatons ? Antarctic expeditions . Big rough Kerry man who would have made a great Fullback in Football
