What happens to beautiful women when the get old?

Question

Not saying all, but a lot of physically gifted looking women are self-centered because they grew up with men oogling over her and giving her all the attention. However, when she gets to her 50's or 60's and all the men are attracted to the 20's and 30 year old women, does the beautiful women realize how much time they have wasted in thinking that the world revolves around them?

Answer 1

Of course not....they are now turning the heads of really old men...like in senior communities. When I divorced and was living in a 55 plus community, I was actually one of the youngest women there...and the best looking, if I do say so myself. I had to be careful not to set off all the ol' farts pacemakers! LOL! :)

Answer 2

Well, as a 40-something woman involved with a man 13 years younger than me, I would definitely say this is an outdated question. Chronological age is a relative thing, and most of the men I know, while seeing young women as hot young things, are not interested in them for relationships. They prefer women they can relate to. The fact that most people guess my age at 26 (5 years younger than my guy), is just another reason why this age question is irrelevant. Women and men can both stay young and healthy longer than ever with all the advances that have been made in nutritional supplements and skin care products. While I do know former beauty queens who have lost their looks, I've found that even they have evolved. Most women in their 50s and 60s aren't really caring that men aren't ogling them anymore (if that's the case). They have full and wonderful lives and are happy and content with or without men. Unlike 20 year olds, they just don't need the approval of others to feel great about themselves.

Answer 3

Narcissism is typical among women, though not all, who are fortunate enough to be endowed with beauty. As these women approach their 50s and 60s, because they did not cultivate other attributes such as intelligence, sense of humor, maternal love, or kindness, become relegated to “has beens”. You can tell who these women are, because they try desperately to recapture their youth by going through extreme diet and exercise regiments not appropriate for the age, or undergo expensive and potentially destructive plastic surgery, botox injections, or other radical cosmetic procedures. While other women, who are more well rounded in their personality, allow themselves to age “gracefully”, women who have previously gotten by on their aesthetic appeal, now go through a crisis.

The same can be said of star athletes or anyone who puts too much stock in one talent or trait. Of course the fate for all women, who are inherently beautiful when they are young, and are also vain because of this beauty, are not all the same. Some women, who are conceited because of their beauty, are transformed by marriage and motherhood, and develop other attributes, that make them desirable to men once their appearance erodes with time.

Vanity, like any other negative characteristic that comes about due to one being spoiled and pampered, can be corrected if one has varied experiences that causes one to expand their horizons. In many instances marriage and motherhood, with the sacrifices and blessings that both relationships entail, can transform a shallow self-centered individual into a well around magnanimous person.

Answer 4

Believe it or not most of the time Self centered people (men and women alike) find out way before their 50's and 60's that the world doesnt revolved around them, most of the time people like that end up getting hurt (emotionally) real bad and it centers them and their whole attitude changes. I've seen it a thousand times.

Answer 5

Doesn't this mean that the "self-centred" attractive women are equally as stupid as the men oogling them?

ps. Not all attractive women are self centred. And of course you are used to the way people treat you, based on your looks. The trick is to not get sucked in to relying on beauty...

Answer 6

Beautiful women are not pieces of steaks for hungry dogs to drool over. Did it ever occur to you that a lot of people think just like you about beautiful women? They perceive them all to be conceited and stuck up. Maybe their lives are not as easy as you think. They are considered toys by many men and classified as dumb by many others. Don't be so judgmental. After all being beautiful is not a fault. Get to know the person. Besides beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What's beautiful to you or me may not be to the next person. It's beauty on the inside that counts. One woman I know is not just beautiful, but smart. She is a prosecutor,and a lot of men automatically think she's arrogant, and she is not at all. Another beautiful woman I know was shot and almost killed by some probably jealous insane person. To bad they have to pay such prices just because they look good and are successful. You've seen the talk shows, where a lot of beautiful woman are killed by insecure men. Maybe you have the wrong idea about pretty women. Maybe they are just ordinary people just like anybody else. You think. And when they get old, they are old. Just like anybody else that gets old.

Answer 7

I think a confident beautiful older woman wont care who the men are oogling- If they were self-centered when they were younger they will still be delusional about men being attracted to them

Answer 8

They become beautiful older women. Old men don't waste much time chasing after 20 to 30 year olds.

Answer 9

I would hope that by this point in her life, an older woman would realize that there is more to her than her looks. However, for every secure woman like this, there are hundreds of fake plastic ones. I pray I can be like the former.

Answer 10

You sound like you're having a bad day. Most women that age aren't interested in 20 year-old men. A 60 year-old man interested in a 20 year-old woman has a real psychological problem. I hope you're not talking about yourself.
