We've all seen them: the women who are visibly not in their 20s or even their 30s, yet their makeup and outfit say otherwise. Who wants to be the butt of other people's jokes?

    Being an "older" man (age 63), and having been married 4 times, on old women, I feel qualified to comment.

    Women in their 40's, 50's, 60's, can look their age, and be attractive to older men.

    They DON'T need a lot, or even a bit of makeup to attract or turn on many of us, who may still have the lobido/horney to do 'that thing'.

    Heavy makeup, tatoos, piercings are a "turnoff" to many of us who are traditionalists, who grew up in the 1960's-70's, and may prefer a "plain Jane" to a "hip" granny who thinks she should look & act like her granddaughter.

    Listen up ladies: look and act your age, and keep that weight under 170 lbs! Big bellies are a turnoff!

      No body likes to get looking old but some old guy still look nice !! Thought that we don't have to try to look young... The best way to look young and graceful is to cheer our mind with happy and young at our heart !!

      Yeah, aging gracefully is a much better thing to aim for.

        The nice thing about knowing people older than 50 is that their faces reflect their personality.

        A grump looks like a grump. Smile lines are welcome.

          And plastic surgery makes most women look like aliens. Seen very few facelifts that don't make a woman's face look just plain creepy.

          There's nothing wrong about ageing. We just have to be positive and optimistic.To me, designers' fashion, plastic surgery and preciuos jewellery won't do any help. Just go

          natural. Appearance is not everything.In the long term,people admire more what we have inside than what we are outside. Applying beauty products plus treating your body well are the ways to get the best results, like eating well, sleeping good and handling stress properly.You should keep updated on things happening around the world.Learning is something that adds and lasts; youth and beauty are something that go away.Take it easy and just be prepared. Also, have someone to love and care for, like your family and friends.Having someone to care for keeps you busy and occupied. Learn to let go of pain and unhappiness. Always do something you like to kill time and keep up a sharp mind. Stay young and feel young.

            Aging is part of living. We only go around once in this life and that leaves us two choices. We can grow old, gracefully or not, or we can die young. I proudly wear my years as does my wife as it is much better than the second alternative. We are both 66 this year I can say as an older man I much prefer a wise older woman who is aging gracelfully than one trying to look 40 years her junior.
