[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the same way. In my case, I’m pushing 40 and envious of young, beautiful women. It pisses me off because I know it’s our messed-up culture that values women only while they are young and discards them once they hit 30.

Nothing I’ve tried has stopped it, so instead[b] I flaunt the things I do have. I have more money than them, so I buy nice things they can’t afford. I have children and they don’t, so I make a big deal of being a good, attentive mom. Many are dumb, so I make a show of being much smarter. I have a husband, so I pay extra attention to him in public. Once in awhile I’ll make a comment to put them in their place;[/b] for example, I was at a restaurant and a 23 year old waitress in booty shorts kept calling me “sweetie” and “honey”. Eventually I just looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and sarcastically said “sweetie? Really?”

I know it’s petty and that this is 100% on patriarchy and not on those girls. I guess to be fair, I also put men of all ages in their place, too.[/quote]

Ha, I know. But I figured, if a 20 can flaunt her assets, why can’t I flaunt mine? [/quote]
You aren't flaunting your assets, you are putting other people down in order to feel better about yourself. Frankly, I find my 40s freeing because IDGAF anymore about what people think.  It doesn't mean I am letting myself go-I still take care of myself, exercise, etc-I am just giving society and all its expectations of women a big middle finger.  You sound insecure AF.  [/quote]
