[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty people get better treatment.  No longer being attractive to men, and becoming invisible, is hard for some women.  Common sense.  [/quote]

One of the most liberating things about menopause to my thinking is having become largely invisible to men. Because of several health issues I also gained a lot of weight which I’m now steadily losing; I have some anxiety about the prospect of becoming visible again when my curvy figure comes back into view - but I’ve gone full salt and pepper and minimalist on makeup so I can hopefully deflect most interest.

I think the best years for a female are the first ten and the last 40-50 when they have the least to deal with the male gaze. [/quote]

My mother is 78 and has had nothing done cosmetically and her hair is brown with a little bit of gray at the front.  She dresses in Eileen Fisher and is probably 10 pounds overweight and is attractive but not a beauty.  She is really, really smart and has a great sense of humor.  Men fall all over her from every age.  At weddings, she often ends up at a table surrounded by the young male friends of the bride and groom.   [/quote]
