What do you have against aging?

Supermodel Christie Brinkley is evidently finding it hard to get a date at age 63. Which might provoke scoffing especially as she not only remains beautiful but also looks barely 25. But actually it’s a sad story for our times.

Brinkley, in case you just dropped in from Mars to skim the Post, has it all. Money, family and a highly successful career including as an author. She can buy all the hankies she needs. But she appears never to have known that you’re meant to grow up.

I don’t mean she has a classic celebrity track record of irresponsibility. She has had an adult life, married Billy Joel and architect Peter Cook and had children with both. But for all that she seems to aspire to be a teenager, including having one exciting relationship after another.

Look, I’m all for people remaining healthy and vigorous until late in life, even sexy. (I didn’t mean “look at me.”) But this is different. In Newsmax, which reported her difficulties, she allowed that “I’m loving my summer and, you know, kind of really too busy.” But “I’d slow it down a little if the right person came along.” And I’m all for summer romances … in your teens. Their special magic can linger faintly in memory all your life.

A “fling” is also fine as a young single adult. And I favour people finding true love at any age. But there’s a certain dismal sociobiological note in the Newsmax headline “Christie Brinkley’s Dating Problem: Hard to Meet Nice Guys at 63 Years Old.”

Despite her supermodel sophistication, she confessed naively “It’s like, when you’re young, no problem. But sort of at this age, it’s not as easy.”

Has it never occurred to her that men, nice or otherwise, have a certain interest in a woman’s fertility which does not last forever? In the Daily Mail two years ago Brinkley was coy about whether she’d had plastic surgery.

But she does all kinds of things from hair extensions to Botox to body language clearly designed to make her look way younger than she is and hence a potential mother. Which is why there’s something creepy about a 63-year-old looking
