I don't respect such women. We all know them, the ones who set store by their figures and beauty status alone, even in old age. Trying to defy time.
What is that? It's encouraged by TV and media, as if life is primarily about sexuality and desirability. Oh I was intent enough in youth of worrying about men finding me attractive and I basked in it when they did. Now I am old and I think I grew up. I really don't care and I see the absurdity of it.
So how important is attractiveness to the opposite sex in mature years? Surely it is programmed in us as a necessary spur to reproduction rather than a perpetual preoccupation.
Reading your post @Rose65, I have so many questions!
Why would you have such strong opinions against older women who take a pride in their appearance?
Why assume that these women do so to attract men?
Why judge other women simply on the basis that it is not something you personally care about?
Maybe I have misunderstood but, reading your comments, I just thought how sad it is that women are judged throughout their lives, even in their senior years.
