Why did footballers in the 70s use to look like spent middle aged men whereas now it's a race to who looks most like a lesbian pre menarche.

Pic related: Oscar and Grzegorz Lato, both aged 24.
>>
I think people in general are looking younger
>>
Because not being a sissyboi used to be a prerequisite for becoming a footballer.

>LE born in LE wrong generation

Back to YouTube comments sections. I prefer to watch athletes at peak fitness rather than a bunch of fat drunks kick the shit out of eachother

The best football of all time was played in the 70s fellow millenial. No one comes close to Brazil and Italy 70, W. Germany 72 or Netherlands 74

They didn't test for steroids back then.

This desu, and I'm not sure why. With women, it's probably better makeup, but what could be causing men to look younger? The decline of smoking?
>>
>>66647797
Less time in the sun, less hard work, cleaner lifestyles, dunno
>>
>>66647749
>(not true, by the way)
>>
Because this is the metrosexual era. Men now are using hair and skin products, and the general lack of testosterone is why guys look younger now than they did 40 years ago.
>>
Because players back in the day drank and smoked. They partied like mofos with funkadelics clothes.
Also at this time the image of people weren't in the center of everything so they gave less of a fuck, they just wanted to play football and fuck bitches.

I think the rise of athlete endorsements is to blame for this. The thousands of dollars that Ronaldo spends on makeup/waxing probably translates to millions more earned from endorsements than he would have made otherwise.

people take more care of themselves now and treatments are better. Back then most people didn't give a shit a bout facial creams, special shampoos, moisturizers, peelings, trt, etc and proper diet

Artificial dope tricking the body into thinking it needs less testosterone/more girlysterone vs. natural born big balls testosterone high octane manly men balding serum in extra high dosages produced and used by ones body.

That's not how testosterone works, synthetic test does the same thing as regular test; learn something about pharmacodynamics you bum. I'm sure there are more than zero tip level players that dope but it's not nearly as widespread as some people think it is. Almost al American athletes doe because their sports rely solely on athleticism to succeed, football/soccer is much more of a skill based sport so doping is pretty much pointless (case in point players like milner not being better than Messi, so why would doping and improving your fitness/athleticism be worth the risk of being banned for being caught)
>>
>>66648386
It's more doping to be fit for a game every 3 days rather than doping to be faster than Messi and more skillfull than, say, Oxlade.

Also, I think I've read somewhere about some artificial shit that made the human body think it got testosterone so it lowered the production, but in fact it didn't receive as much as it would indicate (fake or not), but it could have been /x/ so whatever.
>>
>>66648245

>>66648440
Your body will produce less natural test, hence the classic testicular atrophy steroid abusers get. The only drugs footballers probably use are possibly painkillers for injuries which I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do. There's no way they're taking epo or test or clen to play 2 may he's a week, conditioning will do that. As I said there's no point risking it considering football is skill based

Serious answer: Testosterone is slowly vanishing due to plasticisers.

>>66647904
The funniest thing about schweinsteiger and lahm too who's also greying is that even though they're barely in their mid thirties, we still instinctively look up to them as old veterans and they actually feel like old men on the battlefield

this

we're also using a lot of chemicals these days in a lot of household products and have a lot of chemicals from industrial runoff thats lowering testosterone levels. there are also measurable levels of birth control pills and all types of weird shit in a lot of city water, at least in the US.


also, a lot of countries diets are becoming zinc deficient through nutrient depletion in our soils. zinc is key in getting our test levels up, its usually strongly correlated with "maleness," and is a key nutrient in getting rid of these xenoestrogens that can build up in peoples bodies). hence why zinc supplementation has become so popular. theres lots of shit thats fucking with our bodies in subtle ways these days.

That's not why you've got moobs, take some control over your life you fat sack of shit

Half of them were already balding. They were trying to hide it by growing their hair Long, Lato is just an extreme example.

also, cocoa is one of the most allergenic foods so better not to over-this as well.
