Ladies, how many of you truly feel attractive even after age 40??


Question: My friend is extremely unhappy with her looks, esp with her skin starting to loose firmness around the eye area and smile lines. She's 37 and does look tired. Is there anything I can to help her? Do you do anything to maintain your looks or just decide to go with the flow...any advice would be helpful.
Thanks!
Answers: Tell your friend to first go for a complete physical to determine that she's healthy. Then just work on getting the right things to eat and pleanty of rest..and put a bit more fun in her life. Emotional fatigue and stress can play a toll on your physical being. Get her to take timeout for herself.
Madonna feels attractive =S
i duno!
You? No. Nothing you can do. If she has the money she can go have plastic surgery to pull up and tighten her face back where it was. It will be thousands of dollars. But that's it.
But she can buy all the anti-aging products, all the ones that promise to remove lines, firm skin, etc. They are all worthless. None of them work. And that's clinically proven.
Many of us feel attractive after 40 and also look young for our age.

It depends on how well you take care of yourself and don't do any nasty habits which can effect how your face looks and ages it (like smoking and staying in the sun too much (tanning on purpose).

If she smokes and suntans, she should stop. They both age your skin and causes you to look a lot older than you are.
She should drink plenty of water, get exercise (at least 30 minutes of walking a day will do it), and eat healthy.
Well we can't stop the aging process and the perverse culture that we live in that worships youth and beauty is difficult to live with.
It also stinks that men often look better as they age while women just look worn out.
For your friend, it depends on what her individual needs are. There are a variety of pretty safe and simple procedures doctors can do to help improve an aging woman's appearance. She'd have to decide what feature she wants to improve and then seek out what options are available to her.
However surgery is NEVER a substitute for a miracle. Her expectations have to be realistic, and she needs a board certified surgeon for sure.

Short of surgery or injections, all the creams in the world do very little.

It's time woman stand up and REFUSE the notion that only young woman have value. Our culture is perverted.

But I would add that as long as men are still noticing us, its safe to assume we are still attractive.
I feel very attractive (most of the time :) and like anything, attitude is everything ! If you think you're unattractive, then you will be. At 37, maybe she is too critical of her looks. She could always visit a plastic surgeon for ideas and there are non surgical approaches as well.
I am 39 and 7 months so nearly 40 and after 3 kids, a life time of hard work, the occassional boozy night and just the natural progression of sagging bits and pieces I have days when I look a hundred and days when I look 35, I take it as it comes, My husband doesn't complain and he's 10 years younger and I don't have to look at myself if I don't want to. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and should be more than skin deep, I have certainly far more exciting and interesting things to think about and do now I'm reaching my years of child free freedom than how I appear to every one else.
