Its called 'karma' *****es.
Note the wording from the article here: "Yes, I was gorgeous, ish, for a while, and self-absorbed, shallow, and inexperienced, and over-sensitive and dull. You’re right, mate, you’d have much preferred me then.", as if we should commend her for NOW realising that you can't get away with a rotten personality after you stop being able to ride through life on your looks. She's
reaching for sympathy out of necessity, not because she's tried to develop herself into a great girl even when she had her looks which WOULD make her more attractive even when her looks fade.
And in the end of the article her guy friend mentions how she needs to shape up if she wants men to look at her. So she hasn't even tried to keep in shape and look attractive? I don't even like short hair on
young women,
but older ones cut their their hair off even more frequently??? it doesn't make sense! it's like a 50 year old guy purposely throwing away his best shirts, getting a monk cut, quitting the gym and then complaining. Argh, I can say more things (like how she basically complains that men don't do all the work for her anymore, I could make another two paragraphs about that) but I'll end it here...
I'll end it by saying that my job is to run a recycling station and most customers I meet are middle-aged or older. THERE ARE women who are attractive even when they're
old, but they are rare. She cannot tell me that it can't be done because I have experienced it multiple times myself in person. Are they as hot as they were when they were 20? NO,
but they have not lost their feminine energy. You still
LIKE THEM which shines through their entire vibe without even talking with them, AND they are "coincidentally" the ones who tend to look the best too because they take care of themselves. But women like the author don't understand what those women do. She needs to read
www.thefemininewoman.com and instruct young women who still have their looks to do so too, not sit and complain on the guardian - but as usual, the common thread is
it's mens' fault and
she is not accountable.

If the 50 something author went online dating site, she is far more likely to meet someone then a guy half her age. She might complain of her 'invisibility' but the fact is, as an overall, men starve in the dating marketplace while women feast.
This too
