You've literally never seen a 55 year old woman in shape? I don't believe you.
Look up a list of celebrity women who are currently 55 years old.
This idea that women are decrepit and ugly and old at 55 is asinine.
Edit: Y'all really going to believe that women like Salma Hayek and Cate Blanchett don't exist?
Not in person, not in real life, not 'in my local area and looking to mingle', no.
I don't regularly... go to gyms where 55 yo women are, and ... I think all of my intimate partners have been within a max of +/- 3 years of my own age.
I'm not trying to nor did I say that all older women are decrepit and ugly.
I'm saying that generally speaking, women (as well as men), kinda tend to let themselves go a bit, as they get older... and honestly there is nothing wrong with that, that is completely normal. Getting old hurts, it makes staying in shape hard... it would be ridiculous to have basically the same general physique expectations for both a 30 yo and a 55 yo woman, or man.
What is very not normal is to actually encounter a 55 yo women in approximately similar physique condition as ~55 yo Selma Hayek or Cate Blanchette.
It is so not normal to me, that I literally didn't believe it.
The internet and celebrities != real life.
55 years old isn't really that old though.
You don't notice women in their 50s in your day to day life at all? They're all fat or otherwise disabled?
Like no, this is still mind blowing to me that a single 55 year old woman in shape left you "genuinely baffled and in disbelief"
Look I don't know what to tell you... I have no reason to lie about this.
Yeah, in my life, most older people tend to let themselves go.
Yes, most older people I've known as friends or family or regular acquaintances or coworkers are somewhat to significantly more fat than they were in their 30s, and yes, by the time they hit 55, many of them also have at least one somewhat to very serious kind of disability.
Maybe I'm just from a poorer millieu than you, where people don't tend to have the money or time to afford good food and healthcare and spare time to excercise?
I mean, I live in the US. There's a lack of good food and healthcare and spare time here more than most.
I want to challenge you to take a real look around the next time you're in like a grocery store or somewhere public. There are a lot of women in their 50s doing just fine and looking great and they're not celebrities.
Again, finding out fit women in their 50s exist shouldn't leave you genuinely baffled and in disbelief.
... I'm autistic and thus abnormally aware of patterns and details, basically all the time, everywhere, by default.
What I have described to you as my reality, as my lived experience, is accurate.
To me, a 55 yo woman in ... yeah, basically as good of shape as a world famous celebrity actress? EDIT: (of similar age)
Exceptionally uncommon.
About the same level of exceptionally uncommon as a random 55 yo man being in the same shape / physique as say, Liam Neeson or maybe Daniel Craig or Idris Elba.
Can you really just not accept that another person's lived experience could... significantly differ from your own?
Just being on FetLife will show you plenty of women in their 50s in pretty good shape.
I don't understand why you believe that women like this don't exist other than celebrities (which was like pulling teeth to get you to admit, I might add). I'm aware that most of society believes that older women are useless and thus invisible to the male gaze, but Jesus Christ, dude - is it really true to this extent for you?
Edit: Kisses to my stalker today, thanks for the downvotes! I love that you take the time to dutifully go through my post history and downvote each comment. Shows you really love me <3
It's funny, because you can just go to the gym and meet people who are both old and in shape. In fact, you're more likely to meet people who are both old and in shape at the gym because... older people who are in shape are the ones who go to the gym in the first place.
I'm not single
or 55
but if I were single at any age, I would never approach a woman at a gym. Idk. Feels only a small step better than approaching them at work. "Captive audience" type shit, it would feel gross to me.
I mean, more power to you. I'm mostly just saying "Women over 55 who are fit exist, you can find them at gyms all over the country." I'm not suggesting you need to hit on any of them.
That said, I can say from personal experience that people flirting with each other at the gym is incredibly common. I've flirted. I've been flirted. I even dated a Pilates instructor that I met there.
Lot of flirting happens in offices, too.
You meet people where you both are. But there's a tactful way to approach people and a crass way. Don't go running up to grab someone by the pussy. But smiles and small talk don't hold anyone hostage.
They're not talking about approaching women at the gym.
They're talking about observing women that are over 55 and in shape. Because they exist. Despite popular belief.
Exactly.
Literally one can go to the grocery store and find a woman who is over 50 and in shape. I would bet money.
I mean, fit people still shop. It's just going to be much more of a crap shoot.
Yeah, I have to wonder if people who assert that it's shocking to find a woman over 50 who is in shape and attractive actually ever leave their houses.
honestly it's more disingenuous and sexist to pretend that every 55 year old woman looks like Salma Hayek and Cate Blanchett, velma
I'm responding to the assertion that a 55 year old woman in shape is enough to leave someone baffled and in disbelief because they've literally never seen a 55yo woman in as good of shape
I'm not saying every 55yo woman looks like Salma Hayek, but by existing they are disproving this original comment.
