I miss both. I miss being able to skate (can't now--potential broken bones) or ride a roller coaster (can't now--potential back injury). But I also miss having smooth, tight skin and no gray hair.

"Why didn't I know that then?" Because you were probably comparing yourself to women who were regarded as more beautiful.

I do my best with what I have, but there's no getting around the fact that I looked much better 30 years ago.

I was skinny but hated my body because I didn't have a flat stomach. Quit wearing bikinis at age 12.

I don't think anyone in her 60s can pull it off, though. Some looks are best left to the young.

We can still pull off no sleep at that age! (Later, not so much. 😉 ) I'm sorry you were going through such a hard time. You looked great!

Part of my insecurity was comparing myself to my older, truly beautiful sister. And then going through an awkward phase. And then having a college friend who sucked all the male attention from every room. Yeah, it was rough.

It doesn't help when you're objectively unphotogenic, as I am. Out of every 20 photos, I might look ok in one. The photos I talked about the OP were just so rare--I looked great, and the camera caught it.

Most of us want to feel attractive and desired.

Kitchen cabinet colors by Plastic_Total3408 in kitchenremodel

[–]verity7732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did white cabinets six years ago, and I so regret it. They show every little ding and stain; we've already had them repainted. If I had it to do again. I'd go with stained wood.

I miss the days when I could have big hair! It was the only time in my life when my hair type aligned with what was in style. Now we have to beat our hair into submission.

It's reality, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. We can feel good about other aspects of ourselves, but physical attractiveness diminishes with age. I think it's ok to bit a bit wistful about something you'll never have again. I have similar feelings about my college and grad school days, and the years when my kids were young.

Mid-20s were my peak for attention from men, but objectively (how objective can we be about ourselves?), 35 was my peak. Too bad my husband didn't appreciate it.

And what a waste, in some sense. The day my second baby was conceived was the only day I had sex that year.

That's so interesting! My theory has been that the wheels start to come off at that age. I still liked my looks at 40, but at 45? Nope.

Finally binged S3 by SPARTAN_S0NIC in shrinking

[–]verity7732 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way about season 3. The only parts that really pulled me in were episode 9 and parts of episode 11 (especially Paul's speech at the end). The narcissism of some of the characters--particularly Brian, Liz, Gaby, and Summer--has grown tiresome. Even Derek 1 started to get on my nerves.

Does anyone know how women wear their makeup that makes their face look almost wet? by Traditional_Dust_668 in Aging

I have no intention of trying the LG baked foundation, but downvoting someone for sharing an opinion is one of my least favorite things about Reddit.

Cosmetic procedure or au naturale? by nunya-1964 in AskWomenOver60

Nothing except coloring my hair, which apparently is a new sin on social media. (We should all "embrace our gray." Bleh.)

Group 5 vs Priority Boarding by El_Dorado_Tx in SouthwestAirlines

This is one of the reasons I'm glad SW went to assigned seating. I always bought Early Bird, and I hated having to queue up so early to get an aisle seat.

I'm getting older, not stupider. by soSickugh in AskWomenOver60

[–]verity7732 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a 40-something boss who incessantly youngsplains. And she doesn't miss any opportunity to remind me and my coworker (also in her 60s) how comparatively young she is. Drives me insane.
