      Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain’t it

        Those pants have gotten him laid with more woman and rumored men (possibly Bowie??) than you’ve met your whole life.

        But sure, let’s rip on The Rolling Stones for looking like The Rolling Stones. ???

          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

            he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself

            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

                Correct. You expressed your disapproval on Mick Jagger’s pants and I made a joke about how well those pants have served him over the years.

                Did I miss anything?

                  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

                    “Oh honey, you’re home! How was your day?”

                    “Terrible.”

                    “Oh no! Is something wrong?”

                    “Well, I was really hangry, and I guess this random stranger on the Funny community was too, and we got into an argument.”

                    “Oh no, what was it about?”

                    “Mick Jagger’s pants.”

                    “…”

                    “We also talked about what I’ll be wearing when I’m 70. We were unable to come to an agreement.”

                    “…”

                    “I just need some time.”

      See now I see what you’re saying, but apart from certain designated places, most people don’t tend to like it when you walk the streets completely naked.
