[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of the people on this thread are wayyy under 50 and have no clue. Op I am 55 and right there with you. Also it gets worse -  it’s when the women start ignoring you too that it gets truly depressing, like not only are you undesirable to clients but so much  so they don’t want to be associated with you or their brand associated with you either . Seriously - mostly unintended and subconscious but it happens. I am in public relations and it is def a young woman’s  field. I get majorly overlooked for assignments and I know for a fact after 25!years in the field that it is because I no longer « look the part »[/quote]

I have been posting. I am 50 and a lawyer in DC, not a field known for beauty. But yes if you or OP are in PR or pharmaceutical sales or another field that is notorious for hiring young and beautiful, that discounts experience in favor of youth, then yes I see it.  But I have to wonder, didn’t you benefit when youth (but not experience) was on your side? Didn’t you see this day coming?[/quote]
