I’ve been in love with Rob Lowe for about 40 years, so I have to go with Rob. Tom has aged really well - kept a bit of a boyish quality to him.

Don’t get me wrong, Tom is still good looking but I think Rob has aged better. But then Rob isn’t jumping off cliffs on motorcycles or hanging on the side of a cargo plane while it’s taking off. Here is a current picture of Tom at an event a couple of weeks ago with Prince William. http://instagram.com/p/C3D3_owtAum

Rob Lowe no matter what either of them looked like because he's not an unbalanced cult member. He's funny and charming in interviews. He was one of my earliest crushes! (Sodapop)
I never really found Tom Cruise that attractive. Not ugly of course, just not anyone I'd really look twice at.

Rob Lowe for sure. I had a poster of him in my bedroom when I was a teenager. He still looks amazing.

Rob Lowe. In my opinion, it’s not even close.

Rob Lowe has always been the better looking of the two IMO and still is. I can never get past the appearance of Tom Cruise’s weird top “middle” tooth. Once you’ve seen it you can’t unsee it.

Rob, definitely. Plus he is, IMO, a much better actor.

I picked Rob Lowe although I think they both have aged pretty good.. Rob just has something more to him than Tom does.
A few years ago there was a picture of Tom Cruise (at whatever age) and Wilford Brimley (I think) at the same age. Poor Wilford was just an old grandpa type looking man compared to Tom who looks good.
Just wanted to say this has nothing on how cray crazy Tom is.. this is just about the looks.

Rob Lowe wins for personality alone!

Yeah, it's just difficult for me to put aside all of the Tom Cruise weirdness and think of him as hot. I think they both objectively look good.

Rob Lowe has always been fine! Love him & he looks amazing at 60!
I never thought Tom Cruise was ugly but I didn't find him attractive either...until I saw the last Top Gun. I will admit that during the beach scene I thought he looked good, even amongst the younger actors. Not better than Rob though!

Well, as I have always swooned over Rob Lowe, I am going with Rob.
I also just watched the newest Mission Impossible and commented to DH that Tom needed to step down. He looked old in a couple of spots. Not just makeup, made to look tired, kind of old. But you could just "see" those signs.
Now, Rob also is looking a less bubbly than he did in St. Elmos Fire or Oxford Blues(really dating myself here) but he still has that something that grabs me.

I think that Tom Cruise is more attractive now than he was when he was young. That being said, Rob Lowe would definitely be my choice for who has aged better. I love his Atkins commercials with Wanda Sykes.

I love his Atkins commercials with Wanda Sykes. I think the commercial is where I thought "hmmmm, he's had some work done", around the eyes. I like Rob Lowe. I love him when he does comedy. His character on Parks & Rec was amazing. I do like him on 9-1-1 Lone Star as well.

They have both aged pretty good. Money helps with that. LOL
Both are a bit 'fancy' for my tastes.
But I do find Rob Lowe so funny. Parks & Rec sold me on him.

Rob, because he didn’t join a creepy cult (that I know of).

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I can't really judge how someone has aged if they have had cosmetic surgery. Rob Lowe looks unnatural in my opinion so I guess I would say Tom Cruise.

OK here are my thoughts......
First, I can't stand TC, but I do have to admit that he has aged very well, and is still a very good looking guy. He's now at that age where he's starting to look a little silly with dyed hair though. He should start to let it go grey.
Rob looks like he's had work done on his face, which loses points from me. I mean, TC probably has too, but it's not as visible.
Ugh, no clear winner here for me, so I'm going to call it a draw.
But Rob wins if we're talking about being a good bloke.

I am in the attractiveness is way more than looks and honestly wasn't a tom cruise fan before knowing about the insanity of the scientology crap. I just can't look at him without cringing.

I never thought Tom Cruise was attractive, but always like Rob Lowe. I do think Rob has aged better in any event. Tom Cruise looks extra wrinkly and his eyes look hooded in the picture with Prince William. Rob Lowe is wrinkling around the eyes as well, but he just generally looks younger than 60. And can I say I am surprised no one has hand slapped for picking apart someone’s looks and talking about how might have had work done. I dare someone to start a similar thread about Jodie Foster and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Rob Lowe started out life with much better genetics than Tom Cruise did, so there is no contest in my opinion. You could compare them at 20, 30, or 40 years old and my guess is that Rob would still come out ahead. But then, I have never been a fan of Tom Cruise. And as someone else mentioned, his affiliation with Scientology certainly doesn’t help make him appealing.

(Sodapop) I never really found Tom Cruise that attractive. Not ugly of course, just not anyone I'd really look twice at.Same! I was literally the only girl I knew without a twitch of a crush when the original Top Gun came out. Anthony Edwards is more attractive to me, even if not more conventionally good looking. But strictly referring to aging and looks, cult associations aside, I think Cruise has aged better. And I love me some Sam from West Wing. Though I never had a crush on him either, even during the brat pack days. But to me his work is a lot more obvious in the past few things I’ve seen photos from. It may have to do with the fact that he is leaner than Cruise, especially in the face. Fat is nature’s filler! eta: Reading the rest of the responses I felt the need to clarify, I still think Rob is the better looking man, but Tom aged better.

Do y’all think Steve Martin has had work done? I mean, he must have, right? We were watching season 1 of OMITB a few weeks ago and I kept noticing how youthful his skin and face seemed. I mean yes, he’s obviously quite a bit older than when I first really became aware of him. But with the extreme work a lot of celebrities seem to undergo these days I was just astounded that if he’s had work done, they did a fantastic job. They allowed him to age, just more gracefully. For my tastes that looks better than looking unnaturally young. And I’m not knocking treatments or plastic surgery at all. I fully believe people should do what will make them feel good about themselves. Just commenting that the trend that celebrities (and honestly influencers and even some family/friends) have currently, where more is more, dramatic changes are great, my preference is still less is more.

I was literally the only girl I knew without a twitch of a crush when the original Top Gun came out. It's interesting how people's tastes are different, isn't it? I would have thought that Tom Cruise was universally accepted as good looking, and can't understand how people don't find him attractive. I think the same about Brad Pitt, and I know there are Peas who don't think he's attractive, either. (Are y'all BLIND?! hahahaha) When I was a teenager, pretty much all of my friends loved TC. I had one friend who was obsessed with RL, but the general consensus was that TC was better. Of course, that was before he went a bit nutso.
