Society has been so focused on physical attractiveness. When we think we have lost it - according to what we see in the mirror - some get depressed.

I was a model in my 20s and 30s. I had men running out my ears all my life.

I never felt I was attractive, but apparently men thought I was.

I am now 70. I am SO happy to be less attractive.

One: men who like me, it is for the inside of me - my personality not my looks now days. Getting older helps weed the superficial men out of my life.

I love getting older. I don't care if I don't look good from the outside - I know exactly what is on the inside and I feel absolutely wonderful!

I think I am rather like @thisismarilynb : I am so happy to be living in my own home and doing what I want and no one messes with me. And YES I get in people's faces if they say stupid crap like "You don't look 70...(or 90 for that matter)...I just say "What an ageist comment that is...!".

Can you IMAGINE if someone said "You don't look that black..." !!!! LOLOLOL
