My friend reckons your allure goes once you are in your 40s

I was pissed off with this sweeping assumption and wondered if she was projecting her own insecurity

Of course youth has a certain prettiness and appeal but I think older women can be very beautiful and attractive

Has she not seen Debbie Harry?! She is 75 and still has it!!
I don't think I've ever had it mind lol

I'm brimming with allure until I let rip a fart, the stench hits and I clear the room

Goes to show that allure is not something you can 'have'. It is a something other people project onto you.

Thanks OP

I tried to find a short clip but couldn't. Not sure if OP will be back to see the humour though.

Sorry thanks heart not OP.

Haha that's ok, I know it's Stevie who usually has the allure, but Miranda also is very alluring haha

I just remember them arguing about it but they both have it IMHO!

@ElliFAntspoo to me it's about confidence and how you feel about yourself. I am attracted to confident women especially. Plus would like to be like them lol

Allure is probably quite a hard thing to define.

You can certainly be beautiful at any age but allure, hmm, not sure? Don’t think it’s an age thing.
I think it’s like charisma. You either have it or you don’t, at 20 or 80.

Well I'm 46 and DP wants to shag regularly and I occasionally get eyed up in the street despite being fairly average looking so I'd say your friend is talking bollocks.
