Even beautiful women start to loose that "girly look" somwhere around 38-39.

Which one with the glasses? Two of them are wearing glasses.

There's not much difference in the ages of the three younger ones. The biggest age difference is between my mother and the blonde sister standing at the back - about 6 years. The other three are only a couple of years apart each.

It's always genes, unless you have a drug or alcohol problem. I don't lose sleep over that, if I don't age well, then people are more than welcome to stop looking at me.
Yes, the bulldog cheek thing runs in our family, and I can PROMISE YOU I will have some surgery to correct that - probably at about age 55 (I am 51 now and so far it's OK but I can see it coming!).

My vanity has nothing to do with age - I don't want to look YOUNGER - I just don't like that bulldog cheek thing - never have. I determined when I was a young woman that whenever they showed up, I was getting them tucked! And I am. Life's too short to put up with bulldog cheeks!

The funny thing is, when I told my mother (who is now 74) she told me that she would like to have it done when I get mine done! LOL we are planning on doing it together. May not wait till I am 55 come to think of it...I may get it done sooner...

I didn't mind losing the "girly look" at all. I like my womanly look a lot better! (But I do plan on getting my lower face/chin tucked a bit pretty soon!)

Why is it desirable to look like a girl and not a woman?

Exactly. I looked like a girl well into my thirties. I'm glad to look like a mature, hopefully much wiser woman now!

I enjoyed the season of girlhood. But the season of womanhood is enjoyable and desireable in a completely different way. The beauty of older women is just as alluring as beauty in youth. I wouldn't have very much patience for a man who would judge my attractiveness/desireability on the following factor alone:

"How close is she to a hot 25 year old with a rockin' body?"

Eternal frat boys and trophy hunters need not apply, I suppose.

I'm proud to be a grandmother. I'm proud to be a healthy 51 year old woman who hasn't "lost my looks." Especially when I see young women in their twenties and thirties who aren't taking care of themselves - it makes me even more determined to age well.

You got that right. To everything there is a season. I enjoyed the frat boys when I was young and stupid. Now that I'm beyond that, I can't believe they ever held my attention.

When I was single again in my forties, I tried dating a few younger men. They bored the heck out of me.
