The dismaying thing about growing old as a women is that men no longer look at you as someone

They want to fuck but as the women they look at as mother figure or the old lady they'll help cross the street. When you're an older women you become invisible as a sex object. I got to say I like being anonymous now. I always had a nice figure until menopause still slim in a middle aged way. I can see how ex models and actresses lose their minds when they get old. They were so used to being worshipped for their looks. They never grew into their sense of self. I 'm actually comfortable growing old. Everyday is a new adventure.

I don't have to think or worry about that crap anymore. I never did pay much attention to begin with. This way I can do what I want, say what I want and live where I want and I don't need a male for anything but to work on my house.

BTW most men who want to fuck, don't know how and are not worth the trouble.
