Sorry, but that wasn't my experience at all when I was single in my forties. And I was neither a cougar nor a "genetically engineered" woman - just a healthy, happy woman.
I'm 39 and think I look better now than I did at 25.
Beautiful large, wide-spaced eyes. If both of us were still on the market, and I was a couple of decades younger, I'd certainly give you a second or more look.
Nothing hotter than a mature woman! I know what they can do, and they're not shy about it. I don't get the whole younger woman thing myself. You older gals are the prettiest girl!
A study of women losing their looks at 35 must have happened because someone needed something to do. For most of my life I've read that during a woman's fifties, she will probably begin to notice her looks have or are fading. Coming to terms with the changes is not always easy and causes problems for quite a few. There might be a small number of women who began to lose their looks younger than fiftyish, but that's a long way from the majority.
I am 52, and I would agree with this. I would say the last time I still looked "young", etc. was in my early 40's. Once I went through menapause, I noticed an almost immediate decline in my body shape and tone, in my facial tone, slowing of my metabolism, graying of my hair, dental issues, worsening eyesight, etc. Now, I have always been trim, healthy, and energetic. I take good care of myself, and I dress trendy but appropriately for my age. The rest, I have not had any control over. It is just what happens to us. You just try to "maintain" it the best you can. Up to 50, you could still look "Sexy". Now you have to try for "Classy".
I believe this is why we are seeing so many celebrities of my generation, now in their 50's (Demi Moore, Meg Ryan, Heather Locklear, Daryl Hannah, etc.) desperately turning to plastic surgery, etc. It is very hard to watch yourself age, ESPECIALLY, when one of the things you were always "prized"for, what got you noticed, and a big part of your sense of your own "identity", was your youthful good looks. You have to accept it, let the young ones taking your place have their day, and move on to other things that enrich your life besides your physical "beauty".
