Are women over 50 invisible?

Hell no, when I turn 50, I hope to be a badass bitch.

I hope to age like Diahann Carroll
 
I'm not so sure they are invisible but, the single ones certainly seem to be hard to find.
 
Age is just a number. Some women I have chatted with sometimes point out there age and ask if that's okay with me, but lets be honest, if we can connect and hold a conversation. If I find her attractive, I don't care hold old or young a woman is.

Everyone ages differently I think it is more about the connection.
 
Invisible or camouflaged?

Seems like women over 50 that are invisible, quite often choose to be. I'm 58 and find the ones that are visible are so because of the way they carry themselves. Seen many attractive older women who seem to desire to fade into the woodwork. Others stand out because they choose to. I find the younger woman great to look at, but not necessarily interesting to me. I guess my tastes changed with my age.

I would, for the most part, agree with these observations. There are those women who, at any age, seem to project sensuousness and sensuality, while others seem to either hold a neutral charge, so to speak, or make an obvious effort to appear outright unattractive.

I most recently had an incredibly hot affair with a woman well over 60 who had my radar locked onto her the moment she came through the door (she later said it was mutual, so men, there's hope for us too).

Why? Well it was a combination of things, of course, from her gorgeous gray hair and dark, sparkling, intelligent eyes; sensual lips; a face that spoke of character and a sense of humor through some wrinkling and crows feet, right on down past a really hot little butt to legs you just wouldn't believe on a woman of her years. And yes, she carried herself with confidence and a consciousness of her presence and its effect on both men and women.
Yes, I've watched her literally turn heads from both sexes, whatever the interest may have been, so no, she was by no means invisible.

I live in Mexico now, and every day I'm knocked out by the difference in the way that Latino women of all ages dress, carry and conduct themselves, whether married or single. They take great pride in their sensuality, and put it out there for all to see and share, and it seems that the older women do so with far more power than the younger ones, and believe me, no one finds them invisible. Unless of course it might be an arrogant, insecure, chain-smoking frenchman who smells bad. But I ain't sayin' ... I'm just sayin'....
 
Invisable women.

As a man I think I am used to being invisible. Women have had attention pretty much all their lives so I can imagine as they age and get less looks it could be rather traumatic to the ego. I am 69 so I really don't pay attention to young women. I look for smiles and sparkle in a woman's eyes. I'm not searching for a mate or even to get laid and wish I could compliment a woman without her thinking that is my purpose. I have found walking through the grocery store with a smile seems to get some smiles in return. Not many mind you, people are in a hurry and seem to find eye contact a scary thing. I find a woman over 50 with her head held high and a smile to be one of the most pleasing parts of my day. I don't care about the size of her rump or her chest. The measure of her beauty is in her eyes and smile. Just my opinion as a widower for many years.

Gender aside for a minute. I am so tired of hearing this rote phrase. Almost invariably, it comes from someone who has not yet experienced age.

Age is a real thing, which those of us who are older face daily. Yes, we can be mentally active and interesting. Yes, with forethought and constant attention, we can stay physically fit—sometimes. But it requires constant effort, and it doesn't always work. I have 5 broken vertebrae and arthritis in every major joint in my body. Daily physical therapy, lots of exercise, and yoga lessons help keep these at bay. Saying "age is just a number" does not. And nothing is going to make me feel as able and physically confident as I did when I was 50.

More directly to the point raised in this thread: In our culture, ageism is a very real thing. Young people are far more apt to treat us with disrespect, or be condescending or overly solicitous, or outright blind to our existence. And, as the OP addresses, far fewer people see us as attractive. Not those of us who are men, and far less those who are women. (Some do fetishize us, but that's quite a different thing)

So, fine. If it is true for you, then by all means, say "Age does not affect how attractive someone is to me." But be honest, and if you can say it honestly, do acknowledge that many (perhaps most) do not see it that way. A more believable statement would be something like "A person can be 10 years older and still be attractive to me, and I've even seen occasional people 20 years older that I found attractive."

But don't tell us "age is just a number" or "age is all in the mind." it just comes across as preachy, glib, and either dishonest or deeply unrealistic.

I have received more notice and compliments in the past 5 years than I had in the rest of my life combined. I don't really know what it is, but it is wonderful! My husband has helped me to notice the looks and accept that I must look ok.

Oh, I am 56.

All fair points, we DO age and we all age differently. I have a mate who will be 74 next month, still fit and able to do most things that a 50 year old bloke can, he has a real glint in his eye and has no trouble attracting the ladies. Another friend is mid-fifties, uses a stick to walk and gets out of breath quickly, he hasn't had a girlfriend in years - being extremely scruffy, unshaven and looking at the world with a scowl doesn't help.

By the same token, I know women in their seventies who are still attractive and active sexually and others in their fifties who seem to make no effort to make new friends and wish to be invisible.

As I posted earlier in this thread, to chose your partners based on their age is shallow but we all chose our partners based on looks, similar interests, etc

hubby and i love your posts and pics and we are in our 50's as well. you are simply stunning! lisa
 
I don't think women are.Theres some fine looking ladies in their 50's. I think gentleman, such as myself in their 60's are invisible though.😉🌴
 
What a twat.
My guess would be that he's got some pretty deep-seated insecurities, and finds older women who have a bit of experience under their belts intimidating. I've watched young aesthetically pleasing women hang on the every word that's dropped from the mouth of guys like him - who doesn't love that sort of adoration, especially when they seem to value your 'intellect' rather than just your six-pack? But ultimately it's only the younger ones who accept everything they say as gospel - women our age are much more likely to challenge them, or even just make them think a little bit harder.
(I'm not dissing those younger women here - I have a lot of admiration for the way they are attracted to intellect - but even they know they have a lot of learn, which is precisely why they're attracted to older, educated men.)

Well I'm not sure what everyone was looking at but if it took them until you reached 50 to realize what a beauty you are they absolutely missed something!!!!
 
I think some of it is perception, some may be ingrained and some is statistics.

Beauty is obviously subjective. Granted, there are some people (male or female) who most would see and agree they are attractive. Likewise, there are those who most would say are not particularly attractive. The vast majority, I think, occupy that middle group - where opinions may differ.

I think there is a sense that men in their 20s like woman in their 20s and men in their 50s like women in their 20s... Some will argue that is some instinctive trait whereby men are looking for young, fertile women to bear their offspring. Even if the man is at an age where children aren't a consideration, that instinct still exists.

Lastly, I think some of it is a matter of probability. The odds are there are going to be more attractive women in their 20s than in their 60s. Does that mean there are no attractive women "of a certain age"? Of course not. It's just that there are likely to be fewer of them.

That being said, my personal opinion on this is that an attractive woman is an attractive woman - no matter her age.
