She's old when she gives up her youth. Young is a state of mind.

It's not necessarily a specific cut, rather it's simply that shorter cut women go to when they move from "sexy wife" to "frumpy mom." It's generally accompanied by the cessation of makeup, and granny panties. It may or may not be associated with the aforementioned 50 pounds.

There is generally no coming back from the Mommy Bob. Not that it's impossible to do so, but when women go there it's because they just don't care anymore about being appealing to their husbands.


Oh Lord. I am the poster who asked that question and now I am afraid to cut my hair. I think I am the woman you are describing minus the granny panties. I didn't realize that was the message I was sending. I thought I was just content with myself and could just relax and enjoy my life.


Are you still interested in being attractive to your husband? How old are you?


I am 49 and have been with my husband for 24 years. I do want to be attractive but truthfully it isn't at the top of my list. I think he still finds me attractive. We are very happy and have a healthy sex life but he has never been one to shower me with compliments even when I was younger. He doesn't care about makeup or hair but he doesn't want me to look like shit. Just as back ground, we have never been then"stylin" type, think Deadheads. I guess I could give it more effort but honestly after kids, work, husband, dogs, house, I am the last person I focus on.


PP, we can be friends. I'm the same way. In fact, I think I'm the rare case (I'm 35, BTW) who has gotten more boring and cared less BECAUSE of my husband. He honestly doesn't care about looks the slightest, and I have finally given up trying to fight to justify the expensive makeup, clothes, etc. He loves short hair, and doesn't even notice when I style it. He begged me to basically get a 'mom bob' for years until I finally gave in and got it. I'm pretty glad to have someone so non-superficial.

I think once you are firmly in your 30s you can't really call yourself young. 31 is not part of your 'youth'. Its just not.


When are you "old" well that varies - I think when your body starts to be betray you (and I don't mean being chubby) then you start to feel old. For those with chronic conditions this could be quite a few decades before others

Whenever she gives up on being a woman. Let's it all go and stops trying. Same as men

I'm 50 and I'm going through menopause now. I don't feel old exactly but I do feel different than I did when I was a young woman. I would count this as middle aged - not old.

Generally by the time a woman is in her mid 50's you see a noticeable difference in her skin (there are exceptions I know). She doesn't necessarily look bad or even unsexy...but that youthful, dewy skin ain't so youthful and dewy anymore. Moisturizer is a must.

I'm 50.I had NSA sex over the weekend with a 44 year old guy. He told me he thinks me being 50 is sexy, and he's been hot for me for 5 years. I'm not old yet!

When she no longer gets a monthly period (other health issues aside).

Oh man I think I've had a mom cut since HS. I just don't have lovely Pantene hair. It doesn't grow out well so it looks better short and cute and I feel more confident. My mom is 67 and still doesn't look or feel old. Mostly incredible genes from her own mother, I think. And she loves foods laden with preservatives. I've got no science to back it up, but I think that's how she's being preserved as well.

I think she's old when she stops caring about how she looks and feels. (Same goes for men.)

I think the question of a woman being old and having to cut off her hair at a certain age is silly. I am growing mine out and while I am not ready to go gray, I have seen a number of woman that look great with their hair quite long. Mine is to my elbows and hubby trims it for me every other month. I have no plans to ask him to chop it all off. He admires my hair and he will braid it for me. I love the way my hair looks braided and it took a lot of work to keep up when I foolishly got it cut short when I was a teenager.
