| It was/is my dad who does this. |

| It was not only normal but expected to dissect everyone's physical appearance - but especially women - for Boomers and most of Gen X. I'm 60 and have managed to mostly train myself out of this, but I do occasionally slip. It's hard to stop doing something that was so ingrained in us until just a few years ago. |

| Mom is 74 and yes. It used to just annoy me, but now that I have kids, I just cut her off when she starts down that path. There are so many negative messages out there, my kids don't need to hear them from their own family members. |
