Yep but they are not..do a little research about older women, menopause and sex drive. Being over 50, you most likely are relieved there is no expectation of having sex.

Yeah that is a bit of a stretch. Maybe I am the exception cause the man I am see is 39 and I am 54. Only thing I feel relieved about is not having to worry about birth control. Menopause isn't a death toll of sex, I can promise you that

Bit then there was no intimacy to begin with and you feel robbed and fine when the libido goes down..you have nothing with this person because there's no connection.

What do a woman's advanced degrees have to do with being marriage material? Is she cute, fun, intelligent enough, and willing to associate with me? That's hard to find, that's marriage material.

The moment we turn 30 and start to look like "women" and not girls, we are invisible to society.

How should we deal?

This is why I'm so grateful now that I'm in my 60s that I wasn't beautiful as a young woman. This bothers people who were beautiful more than it bothers us plain Janes. I'm having a great time and don't feel invisible at all.

Why is it so important to be "prized" by a man.

I don't really get this. I am 50, multiple friends are widowed and divorced.

We prize each other, we have our own tribe, we love and support each other through good times and bad. Men leave and die. Most women by the time they are 60 are are left alone if we rely on men to complete us. Complete yourself, stop worrying about what men thing. We are awesome and beautiful and strong. We don't need men to have a complete and happy life.

And doesn't she look beautiful in that photo? She's at peace with herself.

I'm 33 and my mom is 53. My mom and her sister still get preferential treatment from guys, though of course its not how it was 20-25 years ago. But they certainly haven't become invisible. I cant imagine wanting the same attention at age 40 and 50 anyway.

Everything that is marketed in the media is for young women. And not just young women, exceptionally beautiful young woman.

See below for examples:


Victoria's Secret

J Crew

Coca Cola

Chanel

etc etc

If you turn on the TV or flip through a magazine, you'd think ugly women and old women do not exist.

That is your choice

My DW just turned 65, looks ten years younger and has the persona of someone 20 years younger. And, she still loves sex! I can't imagine trading her in for a younger, hotter model! I think a big problem with aging is letting yourself get out of shape and that just compounds the natural challenges of aging. You can't stop aging but you can put up a good fight!

I am 39 and some weird things have been happening to me. I was decent looking in my 20s, then I had 4 babies and those were some awkward looking years in my late 20s and 30s and now at 39 I am in great shape, have the money for kill wardrobe, make up and hair, I am decent looking but I'm no model but I get hit on way more now than ever in my life. By men in their 30s 40s and 50s. I am really not used to it and don't know how to react. It hasn't really happened to me like this in my 20s. I'm wondering if its my I-don't-give-a-shit-about-what-anyone-thinks-anymore-attitude.

Look at the stats.

Look at divorce rate, heart attacks, cancer, disbility for men at 60.

60% have ED.

Visit an over 55 community.

Not many men.
