Aging sucks

Especially as a girl, why do we have a shorter life span when it comes to youth and looks. There so much pressure to remain youthful and attractive especially where I live. It’s not fair that once women hit 30 we are told we hit the “wall” and we are invisible and are longer seen as options for men. Its scary aging and I wish I could stop it now. I feel like men have until at least early 50s to find a partner and are still seen as attractive in society maybe not youthful but still valid in that aspect.

The trick is to ignore all that media b/s.

Think about it. Men don't have endless magazines telling them how they should look. Or what they should think.

Men don't take any notice of expensive ad campaigns for what they should look like or smell like or 'appear' to be.

How many cosmetic companies push their crap to women telling them this will give you the edge.... it's all rubbish don't have a bar of it.

Celebrate your difference !
Keep your own hair colour !
Smile at your lines and wrinkles !
Age gracefully !
Nothing sexier than a woman content in how she looks trust me

@Picklebobble2 Exactly! Lots of women find new partners, start businesses or go back to full-time education after 50. 👏👏

@Picklebobble2 Stop 'splaining, those magazines are a patriarchal invention to influence feminine insecurity.
