Some of the beliefs I’ve seen and had to unlearn:
-fight to stay as young and youthful as you can because wrinkles, dark spots and saggy skin is not attractive/acceptable - creams, procedures, etc.
-older women are bitter that they don’t get attention
-older women are supposed to give to their children and families, at the expense of themselves
What other false narratives society has tried to make us believe about aging women?
Also, do you have any good narratives or media to watch that has positive messages for aging as a woman?
being with a scrote ages you faster than anything else in existence.
That I am or should be competing against teenagers and 20-something year olds now that I'm in my 30s. 😂 And I'm just not interested in doing that, honey. If anything, it's the younger people that have been incredibly nasty towards me when they realize how old I am. Literally, no other reason, but that.
Some of the best women I've known in my life and has taught me a lot were women who are older than me. I always look up to them for wisdom and advice about everything there is to know about life. I don't compete against them, either.
That i should be ashamed of my age, and want to keep it a secret. I’m not ashamed of how long i’ve managed to continue existing on the earth; i consider my age a badge of honor.
I love grace and Frankie.. on Netflix! It stars Jane Fonda and lily Tomlin as 70 year old women who are left by their gay husbands ( who’ve had a secret love affair for 20 years) and have to restart thier life in their senior years. Thier full anger, frustration, and overall life changes and overcoming these challenges are well depicted and well writen. They start a business together and find love again. And the show positions them as strong women who also call out thier ex husbands bevahior and children behavior. I love it and I think it’s one of a few series that depicts that women in later years can still have complex and fulfilling lives.
It’s totally a social psyop to try and scare women into fear of aging. Just another way for men to try and bring/keep women down. Men suffer far more, especially when older being single. Women are community oriented and know how to fulfill their lives in ways that old coots don’t. Even married old men are insufferable, which is probably why they try and train women to settle on them early on.
News flash: you scrotes get old and crusty too, you’re not some handsome celebrity getting better the more your ass and balls sag to the floor. You’re gross and most women wouldn’t touch you 😁
Sort of related but I also like to add that women are never taught to fear aging in an actually healthy way. Like in our 20s we're expected to be the sociable sexy party girl who can drink half her weight in ~~beer~~ martinis, then take sketchy diet pills & shakes, and then settle down in our 30s when a man picks us and have an absurd amount of kids. And actually exercising? What are you, a man? all those things cause aging, and will actually make you age even more
Many cats, because they are a substitute for men
Grace and Frankie is pretty good.
One false narrative is that we are supposed to just give up on our looks and self-care. Nope, I enjoy my skincare routine, and I'm going to wear my jewelry and pretty dresses!
I mean, I can walk by construction workers and others of that ilk and not be catcalled at 48. I have no problem with that freedom! When I was younger, even into my 30s, I got so much creep attention that I became reclusive. Growing older is nice because people don't bother you the same way. I do like to take care of my skin, though.
I’m 54 and have never worn makeup regularly. No kids, was married twice and happy the second time although the last five to seven years were heavy lifting with caregiving. I don’t look 54 and everyone says so. I don’t shave. I had lipo when I was 40 and liked the results but not again. Overall though what helped the most was I got my education, prioritized my career and investing, and inherited a few times. I come from good Scots-Irish people who are tight with money! These days I live alone, won’t marry or cohabit a third time and have sky-high standards. You get to a point where pleasing yourself first is what really matters. You have to live with yourself!
Saying that over 30 nobody would want you. I still feel uneasy about this. I used to be a pickme but the ppl who married early all look much older than I am. They all wished they could swap places with me for a day and just sleep in, and get up attending hobbies they have neglected for years because of men and children. That doesn’t sound like wonen who are happy when they envy my peace.
All this "post wall" crap is just men desperately trying to socialize other (younger) men out of finding 30+ women attractive. You wouldn't have to remind men that we're unfuckable every five minutes if we weren't.
There was this gorgeous little cowboy that chatted me up at the store recently. I asked if he had a girlfriend (I was going to recommend a girly drink) and he said "No 😃" like he was expecting me to take it another direction. It caught me off guard, but I also found it hilarious.
I regret starting conversations with younger men quite often because it almost always turns flirty and I'm gay so yea 😅
Men's dicks don't work by 30 and they have way less T and hair. It's cope.
All I can say is marrying to an obnoxious man with your exquisite beauty can stress you out and make your catalog model looks unrecognizable! #catladyforlife🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
