[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 50 and realizing how quickly I've become invisible to men and how little men want to have to do with me because i'm no longer attractive (I'm fit and well dressed and do a ton of maintenance etc but there is no really hiding that I'm 50).  I was at a (primarily male, industry) cocktail event last night. I used to be able to chat about anything and could hold male attention. Now they look bored within a minute or two.  I don't think I'm particularly boring--but I don't have youth or looks so whatever I say is boring to a large percentage of the male population.

I don't care about not having sex appeal (and in many ways that makes life easier) but I hate not being worth talking to unless I really assert myself or prove my intellectual ability right away. :cry:  It's been really noticeable recently.  I feel like I look the same as I did at 45 but the difference in conversation is MARKED. I shouldn't care but again it's not about the looks or the sex appeal.  It's about being worthy to interact with.  Sigh.  I'm getting used to it but this is rough.

That's liberating not worrisome. If you must, focus on 60+.[/quote]
