Maybe not so, (or, intentially so) Janie.
But, maybe it is so?

To me it is a total package, looks is only one part of the whole picture.

Aging and how people deal with it is a personal matter that individuals deal with differently, depending on their tastes and circumstances. I don't sit in judgement of those who take different paths. But, I feel it is important to look at it objectively.

I recall a few years ago some middle aged women at work were mocking a man who dyed his hair (behind his back, of course). I asked how many of them did the same. They replied, "well, that's different". When I asked why, the only answer they could come up with is "because, mosyt women do it, while few medn do". It seemed like an odd reply to me.

We often see those at one end of societies "Beauty Scale" as being discriminate against because of their looks, without considering those at the other end also face a form of similar discrimination, (though likely not as severe)-especially as they age.
