Age well This post is inspired by our friend Touch213 post "which ethnic group of women age well". Our friend Touch213 is as we all know a womanizer and love women from all ethnics. However he is trapped in his own dogma of aging. It is true, the photo he use to spice his post is great, there are 3 beautiful girls from different ethnics who pose well. What he doesn't see is how many and how much people worked on the photo before and after it was taken to make the photo work as it is. Like i said it is a beautiful photo with very pretty ladies. And there he is trapped again, why is aging in relation to women always related of looking young? While aging is all about of getting older. I never knew a women who is getting younger by the years. Why do we as a society accept the beauty of polish our finger nails, bleaching our teeth, dying our hair and use make up? Why do we as a society reject breast implants, botox and face lifts? They all, in a way share the same purpose to look younger. I believe that aging well is not all about how one look, it is also about getting emotional older, some people call this mature. Getting ongoing insight about ones life and learn from previous situations when one is mature enough to admit she was wrong. See the small details in life as Nanimiel described in her beautiful blog [post 229582] about her happiness, appreciate one and other in relation what you share, getting older for me is getting more confident in how i stand and believe in life. Aging for me is to get my spirit young. I hope we all age well. To read touch213 post please go to which ethnic group of women age well |

you are exact correct... if one's character matures they will maintain themselves equally so.. what truly become the main concern is to work on being healthy... as that is more a reality than the efforts to try and stay young in appearance. man or woman, who keeps themselves physically fit, mentally alert and spiritually growing in grace.. then the natural elements of age will sit well with them and upon them. I certainly can trust your knowledge about the nature of photo work, because you understand that profession far better and more in depth than I do. the picture I posted was as you understood, for the sake of topic. some people of all ethnic groups have genes which do not show the swiftness of dramatic changes with moderate phases of aging. However, the nature of how one lives, can have a big impact on how we appear as we age. It often times has nothing to do with wealth.. as we see many aging actors and actress who become bloated and many other things of dramatic changes, then we see others who age with a well health maintained look. so much has a great deal to do with how we live, but how we think also, is even a great impact unto what shows on our faces. We as people, have not yet found the balance of physical exercise, right eating and proper work and rest. The economic of life impact us even if its not economic struggles, it can be economic supported over indulgence. What is a matter of concern is the level of 'grace" we live within of ourselves and our lives and our spiritual self and its connections. Our true beauty always springs from within us... we must work continually to learn how to let it spread throughout and about us... as time will continue to extract what it extracts based on many of these same factors.... I often pray to keep my spirit connected to the infinite source of God essence, in all things that make us and keep us whole and teach us to lighten the burdens we carry and learn better to carry grace.

getting older for me is getting more confident in how i stand and believe in life. excellent comment: it supports in its essence, what I wrote about women after the age of 27, they are more stable and able to stand within a relationship... with better self assurance about themselves...

Hey Touch, thank you for your reply Although you don't have to defend yourself for what you had posted because it was only a natural thing to do for you, it is a delight to read your motivation. This post is no reproach to you (i guess you understood that) but more like a reproach to us as a society. We women let things get over us without to step up or stand fast. We women are always divided to make a fist. That saddens me sometimes.

I like the post in a way it post all three of you together, I agree with Jen in a way that why beyond post just young girls picture to high light his subject, but that does not mean, women should post young men’s picture, It’s just how society and media percepts women the way it is. Beauty is not the polished picture, imagine when there is argument, a young face then becomes a long face, if one still see it as beautiful face? So is true to how woman look at man, if you take a man’s mask away, no wallet, position, clothes, just what he is back to basics, if he is still pleasant, communicable and lovable? Men age too. Both men and women be young at heart when both age. That is very well said

I think in the society of images the novelty allure of youth and women under 27 is a featured factors in most of the media shows that dominate the TV, there is the excessive emphasis on the youthful sexuality, but as time moves on, I find women over the age of 27, who have a good inner mentality about life and self maintenance and compassionate concerns about others, are not only more stable, they have a more stable image of their presented beauty as well. I've noticed this at work also, that the women over 30, not all have found the style which suits them in a stable sense, they seem more relaxed and thus their beauty has a more comforting glow and they communicate without ego dominating so much as does many times show in younger women under 27. I find a lot of team working with these women on projects as well as general conversations. they seem to have lightened their load and consider the graces within living in a much different manner, and they are apt to take less of a mans kindness for granted. In these and other things, they are aging well..

correction: I've noticed this at work also, that the women over 30, mostly all have found the style which suits them in a stable sense, they seem more relaxed and thus their beauty has a more comforting glow and they communicate without ego dominating so much as does many times show in younger women under 27. but as with life, everyone has to grow and find their stability image, some find it early, some find it within a general age spectrum and some find it late in life. I do think it would benefit women at any age, not to get lost in assuming that their sx can control or regulate a relationship.. and it certainly will benefit most to learn early not to get hung up in playing the slinging ultimatums, as if they are the master bargain maker, all based on whether or not she is sxually accessible. a great many women make themselves miserable by 'expecting that being female and wanting to think that if someone desires them sxually, that it gives them the right to expect things, be compensated for simply being present and in some cases some even get arrogant and distant in basic communication if someone does not offer them some collateral compensations for simply being a socially interactive human being. I think these single things cause more women to destroy more relationships, and become more driven to be reluctant to simply be a generally compassionate and sharing person. Most women know how controlling other women can and try to be, and women are very keen about the manipulative nature of other women, and most women are very aware of how women expect certain things, especially if they see another guy do something for another woman. but most of all women know how vicious women can be when they don't get their way. Even among women, women don't trust a lot of other women, and most women will tell the man they are with how he should be on guard with certain women... These kind of things have an impact on how women age, and whether they age well or with many contortions showing on their face and in their lives. Friendly and interactive women who have the understanding of how to truly share and know that sharing is a two way function... carry far less emotional and stress impacted weights, thus the grace they learn helps keep them in a mode of aging well.
