[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always been an attractive woman and people often commented on my looks especially on my face.  In my younger years,  if I changed my lipstick by one shade friends and co-workers would notice.  Last week I got about four inches cut off of my hair - went from a long bob to a short bob - and not one person even mentioned I got my hair cut.

I've been feeling invisible in other areas, too.  A couple months ago a young (30 something) neighbor told me laughingly that her father (around my age) thought I was beautiful.  She said it as if it was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard.

Does a woman in her later years simply become invisible to younger people?  (Although with the hair cut, even women my own age didn't notice.)

I think you were very vain in your youth and now you're feeling the pain of aging.

Get over it, honey! You're 60!

I'm 49 and know that the sags and wrinkles are part of life, but I'm also exercising and working toward a promotion and caring for my YOUNG kids!

That's life.
