I lost weight and work out for ME, not for anyone else. I would not wear a bikini, but I enjoy having a defined waist no muffin top, and toned arms in my 60s. Don't care what anyone else thinks but I want to feel good and like what I see in the mirror.
Stop being normal & using common sense!
I am very fit in my 40s (I am a dance teacher) you still won't see me in a bikini on the beach (with my adult sons or family? Blech. Nope.) nor a BF posting my pics online.
I don't have to prove anything or scream "look at me!!!!! I look great for -fill in the blank-!" Or my personal fav- "People tell me I look 30 years younger!!!!" Newsflash- no you don't.
Because in reality- no one cares if you could be mistaken for a fetus when you're 40, 60 or 108.

Thank you! Women who thinks we go to the gym for the sake of the men clearly have never been into fitness and working out themself. I guess they want us to wear oversized T shirts and sweats. God forbid you have a nice and in shape body in your 40s and up.
I used to tell people that I was older. Every once in a while someone would tell me that I looked really good for my age.
lol I always say I don't understand why people lie about their age and say they are younger than they actually are. It only makes you look worse!

No regrets so far.
I always "vet" posters I'm not familiar with before I rep them. Because trolls can occasionally get lucky and post something worthwhile.
And there is the 100 year old belly dancer Catherine Furst. If anyone cares they can google her. I did not even start belly dancing until I was 64, and yes I wore brief costumes and performed a few times. The older I get the more outrageous I like to be. Anyone over 60 has earned the right to wear whatever they damn well please with no apologies. Why not? Life should be enjoyed. No one here has to like what I or anyone else wears. I certainly don't care what anyone here does (or doesn't wear.
And as far as "working out", well I am always going to do some type of exercise, because I feel SO MUCH BETTER being reasonably toned and fit, and that definitely adds to quality of life. I just stick to things I like to do.
It's too dependent on how you look at your body. Some people only wear one pieces or two piece because they are worried about their midriff. Not all women want to bare it for various reasons (fat, scars, baby-bump, etc.) and none are wrong. It is about body image. Some care too much. I can't say they are wrong because I'm not walking around in their shoes but I can understand it. Body acceptance is great but some people are too judging. Some people hate body hair and I'm rather hairy but I deal either by wearing a shirt or saying "**** it". That said I rather wear trunks than a brief style bathing suit.
I'm a 27 year old male, and I could care less what people wear, because it's not my business, and it doesn't affect anyone else. The woman in the photo looks great for her age.
I actually prefer curvy women. By curvy, I mean women with a slim waist, large bust, and big hips/butt. However, butt are my favorite. There is nothing sexier to me than a big, fat plumper butt. The woman in the link below I posted has an amazing bikini body.
LOL from the thread title, I thought you were talking about yourself at first
