Beautiful! Thank you for that post

Wow. You are right on time with this inspiration when it was sorely needed. Many thanks.

Thank you.

This was a lovely thing to read today after the day I had yesterday. Thank you for posting.

Agreed

I needed to read this, thank you. Struggling with loneliness again, can’t help but feel if I was younger and looked how I did when I was younger, then maybe I would attract some attention

Also, we are becoming better and better in bed!

your post is well stated, as a man I would rather be with a woman with a 50 year old mine then a 25 year old body. I don't think I like the person I was when I was 25, if I have not improved over the years, then what has the time been for.

When i was a young man, and have never experienced a woman in all her glory( in other words i was still a virgin) I was lucky enough that a woman that knew me from when i was 12 took me under her wing, she was 36 I was 17 going on 18. She literally taught me what to expect as woman grow older. I remember her talking to me about what women experience during their menstrual cycle, and she also told me about what to expect when they go through menopause, and lose their estrogen. We were together for 2 years, and thanks to her, she taught me to be a very considerate lover, and what a women usually like or doesnt like during a love making session. Soon after I fell in love with my wife of 52 years, and i truly remember, when we were invited to her 40th birthday party, my wife going up to her, and thanking her for all she taught me.

One has to consider the mentality of the day, but this is something you might like. Mencken asserts a great truth in it that fullest beauty is realized only after having been 'touched by decay'. Find the exchange under title: 'Conversations'.

Well said. As we get older it becomes more and more clear how important the support and encouragement of other women is. We need to pass on our strengths to the next generation and encourage young women to be assertive and independent. Eventually, women's voices will be heard, but meanwhile we can do a lot to encourage each other.

I’m thrilled there are so many women emerging on the political front, I hope more women are inspired to join the political arena... hope even more a woman becomes “Madam President” of USA. (in my lifetime)

When 30 or so years old, I was repelled and very fearful of getting old. I thought mistakenly, life would be empty, sad and frail.

At almost 70, I've never liked or appreciated myself, my strength, perseverance more, supported women my age and younger more. Or cared less about what others think about me.

Getting older is liberating. We find less is more in the way of material possessions, now we gather people to us rather than things.

You should say..."some of us women."

Good post. I must fit into the 40+ category better than the under 40 since I've experienced most of that myself, including the grey hairs and weight gain (health problems) But yes, I hope to accrue more wisdom and patience as I grow old(er).

Big brother to three sisters was man of house age 11years know something about what women go through . They are the backbone of our society and the most magnificent companion for life

Wonderful. So nice when older women support one another, and LISTEN to the ideas of younger women. All women are united in a magnificent sisterhood.

I think I always knew this - but Breast Cancer in my 40s nailed it home for me.
I never - ever - will regret a birthday.

And I love what younger women bring to the table - to see what they do with their new imaginings!

I hope that never changes.
