[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what it all comes down to is that the older you get, the more work (and money) it takes to make yourself look "good." Dying your hair, whitening your teeth. Dermatologic and plastic procedures. Finding a hairstyle that works with your thinning hair (which may also be straighter or curlier than it used to be depending on the texture of your gray hairs). Eating less in menopause to maintain your weight. Finding a good bra. Finding clothes that fit properly and emphasize the right parts and de-emphasize or cover the parts you don't like. Getting clothes professionally altered as needed. Finding shoes that look good but don't rub your bunions or irritate your neuroma or aggravate your arthritis.

Many women don't have the luxury of time and money for all this. And even for those who do, many don't care to spend it this way. What, after all, is the point of trying to look younger? Who am I trying to fool? and for what purpose?[/quote]

I absolutely agree on the time/money aspect, even leaving fashion aside.  I am 50 and now have to stretch and walk daily just to keep my joint limber.  I mean that a whole of extra time not to feel stiff when I move out of bed.  Maintaining baseline takes a lot of work.[/quote]
