A detailed study of 2,000 women revealed a large percentage felt they no longer received the level of attention they once did after hitting 51.

Quote:

found more than two thirds of women over 45 had walked into a room and felt ‘completely unnoticed’ by the opposite sex.

Quote:

The study also found just 15 per cent of women over 45 could claim they had high or very high confidence

Quote:

nearly half described themselves as not very confident at all.

The biggest reason for a decline in self-belief was the feeling that their image had deteriorated.

A dejected four in ten said not getting attention from men like they used to was a factor, more than half had felt intimidated by the presence of younger women at a social event.

Yet they are still using online dating to find a serious relationship with a real man. If many women feel like this, you'd think there would be a bigger push by spinsters to warn younger women.

And help out the competition? No way! If anything older women are sending disinformation to younger women, leading them down a similar path of spinsterhood. Forget "Cinderella." Claiming endless degrees, decades as a wage slave, and countless partners will lead someday to marriage and kids is the real fairy tale they tell girls.

What they couldn't see it in the mirror? And call it looks - fuck this image shit.

Lol, even in writing that women know they hit the wall, they still write it all hamster style, "wellllllllllllllllllll, maybe I am not as pretty as I was at 18" -

Other women are competition. There isn't a very strong sisterhood.

And so to summarize: Western women spend the first 50 years complaining that you're looking and the next 50 complaining that you're not.

[mental]

So they found out women are afraid of being ugly, old and undesirable?

I love, love, love stories or research or whatever you want to call it. Love it.

Perfect.

At 45?? How about 35!! Maybe even younger

[ddjembe mutombo]

Maybe they shouldn't have gotten divorced...

[Timoteo]

Yeah...don't let the public displays of confidence and/or delusion fool you. They know. I love it when they post about the joys of being single on Facebook! And the attacks on men that look for younger women, chiding them for passing up on all of the "wisdom" and "confidence" and "strength" they could experience in relationships with their used-up selves!

The wall is at about 27ish. It creeps up on them slowly. Some see it coming and hitch their wagon onto their current boyfriend and suck his cock dry until he proposes. Others deny its inevitability and drown their delusions in liqour and cock.

I met up with an old hook up a week or so ago. She was a wild freaky one when I met her. Now she's 41 and gives off the vibe of a born again virgin. She started talking about how her true value is not in sex or her looks and she's a good devoted person. Bitch you picked me off Facebook and sucked my cock in my car a week later.

She's my friend's older sister.

LOL, just made me think of this term "spiritual bypass."

People in LA sometimes talk about it especially if you go to Agape.

It means rationalizing it (hamster) and not trying to deal with the pain of it.

Just lying to themselves to not have to grieve about the loss and how it's all downhill from there.
