I think women don't feel comfortable aging because of MEN

I'm 43, so middle aged. Yes, I have lines and wrinkles that I didn't have at your age, but hell, I have two beautiful children who are more important than worrying about wrinkles. I exercise by walking a lot for my job. My husband is 7 years younger than me, and if he ever said anything about my wrinkles, I'd merely point out that he's lost a lot of hair since we've been together! No-one makes me feel insecure about who I am or my appearance because I don't let them. If you let any man feel bad about your appearance, you need to get rid ASAP!
I was gonna let you beep me, but I got my rag, and I know how you hate a mess -

I'm a woman, and I married for looks and hot sex. All my boyfriends have been hot looking. They liked me because I was hot looking, too, I suppose.
There's nothing wrong with that. Even though you might recognize someone as a genuine and good person, funny, etc., you can't help but be attracted to someone you find attractive. It's biology. That is related to age, particularly. We are all more attractive when we're younger. ESPECIALLY men. Maybe it's because they don't color their hair and don't have the benefit of cosmetics and maybe don't take care of themselves. But men don't seem to age very well at all (unless they're in Hollywood).
I'm older, now. Most men my age and a little older look way older than I do. Some kids even mistakenly thought I was my brother's daughter (he's only 2 years older than I am). I'd like to find a soulmate, but honestly, I haven't seen an available man my age that I find sexy. They are either way overweight, don't exercise at all, or drink too much, or are too short, or just look haggard from a life of partying or whatever, watch sports while sitting on the sofa swilling down beer, or things like that. They were much more interesting and sexy when they were young. So I take issue with the assumption that women don't age well. We all age, but I think women age a little better. -

That's not always truethat really depends on the person. Some people aren't attractive until they become adults, some stay looking unattractive. And then attractiveness is truly in the eye of the beholderand also, the definitions of5b4 what is considered attractive in society always changes over time, from state to state, region to region, and from country to country. So attractiveness has always been a very malleable thing to begin with.
Another thing,toolooks fade just like anything else. If two people in a relationship haven't got anything to offer each other besides looks and hot sex,it won't last too long anyway-it takes way the hell more than that to hold a real relationship together-like mutual trust, being able to count on each other in good times or bad, and being able to give each other support, period. -

hell even when girls are in their 30s a lot of times they look 40 or older whereas most guys 30 or 35 look young still.
girls age so badly it's sad. i mean even at 25 some girls start to look old.

wrong we all more attractive when we are young especially girls. my gosh it's so obvious and 100% agreeable that girls age a lot worse than men.
and the reason is girls have an image of being soft and gentle looking when young and at their best looking so when old they completely lose this soft and gentle look whereas men look their best when young and rugged looking which means when they are old or older they still look rugged and thus still look fine and attractive.
the only thing that girls have on guys as far as aging is they can wear makeup to cover up aging marks whereas guys can't. but this is not anywhere near as big of a factor in looking good as the factor of girls not looking soft or gentle anymore.

Dear Luke J Barnett,
STFU. Your opinions are toxic.
I'm sorry — there's something wrong with you, but can't you just write all this **** in a journal? No one else really needs to read it. All you spread is hate and ridicule. And besides that, most people probably have you blocked anyway.
Sorry, just telling it like it is.
It would be in your best interest, really.
Your pal,
Puke
