[quote=Anonymous]I know this is not a popular point of view but I have to say that I'm seeing now, in my 60s, that it actually was an advantage to be a geeky boyish outsider growing up. I don't feel invisible at all. I never cared about losing my looks because they were irrelevant to my life. I was working out back when it was considered unfeminine and "suspect" for a girl to be a serious athlete and now I'm finding out that being a serious athlete has made my old age so much better. It was really hard being a girl in the 1950s - in fact it felt like a punishment. And now I love being a woman in her 60s. Yeah, if I lose my job and have to find a new one, I'm screwed. But other than that, who gives a damn? I'm finally finding out that I made the right choice to stick with who I am, even if it made me feel like a freak when I was young.[/quote]
