[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think at some point it hits us all that we are getting older.  The time does come when we don't get carded or realize that we're not really turning heads the way that we used to.

It's a reality that we all face and I don't know that it is ever a welcome reality.  In fact, it's a bit of a blow to the ego.  And you have to adjust the way that you view yourself.

I suppose you can go the botox, lipo, boob job, tummy tuck route - whatever it takes to hold on to your youth for a little while longer while you refocus and put your energy into things that mean something to you.[/quote]

This runs counter to the media messages I've received that women dress to feel good about themselves and not to look good to others and that women don't like receiving unsolicited attention based on their looks.

I always figured these messages were only half true and that women usually wanted to look good and receive attention from attractive men and to be left alone and ignored by unattractive men. [/quote]

If they are going through the whole plastic surgery/botox route, they want to look good and be noticed and they want to be told how great they look - that makes them feel good about themselves.  They don't necessarily want to be hit on by creeps though.
