[quote=Anonymous]I'm turning 50 in a few months and I'm going full force into it--going natural with the hair (so I'll be salt and pepper) and I'm ok if people see me as "mom." I think yes, as PPs have said, our culture is not conducive to women getting older. However; I think one mistake many women make is to try to look younger--with many, they end up looking younger but not healthy (esp. with the hair dye). I decided to look older but healthy. It's very liberating because it's a different kind of beauty. Back to your point--it is always hard to change how you relate to the world, when the world starts relating to you in a different way. But it is a way to grow, if you choose to look at it that way. If you (and me) are not noticed as much any more for our looks, what else have we hopefully developed in our arsenal over the years, that makes us not invisible?[/quote]
