ReginaLove, that is SO great to hear! As for soy, it may help with menopause symptoms -- it it controversial. The best way to use soy is in the form of whole fermented soy foods (miso, tempeh, tamari and natto). Non-fermented soy foods such as soy mi
Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
Sounds very interesting.Spike, you are awesome! Love your perspective, thanks for sharing.
Hi I agree that age is just a number. I am a totally fit woman of 55. I generally get guessed for mid 40′s. I have a high energy level and a “young attitude”. I really dont feel comfortable with men my age. I am usually approached by younger men. I am now out there “dating” and see a 40 yr old presently. As long as we “click” and conversations flow easily….no problem.
As women get older they just get better. There is nothing wrong with a woman dating or marrying a younger man.
If you are lucky enough to feel good about yourself and are healthy, with a terrific attitude about life then I say go for it. As women we spend the first part of our lives looking after and nuturing the young. When they children are grown or at least can take care of themselves we still wonder around wondering what to do next…what needs our attention? We need our attention. We need to stop, take a deep breath, and stop doing for everyone else and start ‘doing’ for ourselves. Selfish…you bet! But when was the last time you thought about you and what you wanted. Younger men appreciate older woman. They often have more in common with older women because the younger ladies haven’t reached that wonderful place where we are at now. We really don’t need much now except to be loved and appreciated. All the bumps in the road have been traveled over and and there is really nothing that needs our attention more than ourselves and what we want and need.
They’re probably thinking that you’re having more fun than they are, so jealousy. Also, they’re probably thinking that you’re not “acting your age.” Hummprh. She must be a dingbat. But when all the dust has settled, you have the right to live your life as you choose, but if this is what you’ve chosen, then you have to develop a hard shell to fend off the darts. And there are plenty of older women who don’t frown. Frowning just deepens lines, regardless of why you’re frowning. So they wouldn’t dare.
I have been married for ten years now to a man 18 years younger than me and we are stronger than ever! Many women my age frown on the marriage and most of my friends are younger than me by at least five years! My husband is an “old soul” and many times I am the one that is out there involved and getting him involved in things. Many women our age put themselves into narrow categories about what people will think and so on. I have just never had that problem!
I think the negativity associated with older women and younger men, is about how we age. A man is always distinquised, but women are considered “old hags”. Have you seen some of these distinquised older men, some aren’t sooooooo “hot? I am 58 and have some younger men, who flirt with me, but I have been socialize like most women. These younger men only want a quick relationship, this is not always true. Several years ago, when I lived in New Jersey, I met a couple, she was 58 (older looking) and he was 36. He loved her deeply and pursued her for ten years before they married. She told me that people would become insulting when they learned about her husband and his not being her son. Age is a number, personally I find,if I keep the younger man at a distance,it is okay, but I would become jealous of any younger woman, that my young stud might look at. So I believe it is all social conditioning.
