Why have I suddenly got hotter

[Eddieisadick]

I’m a 45yr old woman. Always been averagely attractive although a few stone overweight. The last couple of months though people keep commenting on how good I look. I’ve not changed my make-up, how I dress, not lost weight, actually been eating and drinking more than I should. But, yet I’m hotter. I can see it too. I’m flummoxed. What could it be?!

Something in the water, maybe?

Are feeling a bit vulnerable about something?

I get much more attention when I mentally don't actually feel that great

I came on this thread to ask your and and suggest peri-menopause, which has made me hotter! Sadly it's the hot flushes for me.

Menopause.

On a happier note - you won't have to worry about your heating bills this winter.

Thyroid check?

Just to clarify I don’t mean temperature wise. I mean numerous people have said ‘wow you look great’. But I have changed nothing!

@SimonaRazowska weirdly yes, mentally I’ve been a bit down! But not so much anyone would notice I don’t think

I also thought you meant hotter as in warmer, as that's what happened to me in the peri/menopause! No idea why you are suddenly more attractive, I find it goes in waves.

Maybe it's that period of super fertility before your menopause?

Confidence. You are more confident as you age.

@KindergartenKop will keep my legs crossed then!

Your friends are getting older and blinder?

@JaneJeffer possibility. could really work on my favour as a single woman .

Is peri menopause hotness really a thing?

It’s been a hot summer so , do you have a tan perhaps? Hair that’s lightened in the sun?

Came on to say that maybe you got a bit of a tan with the warmer summer this year?

This happened to me. I had always been ok looking but in a cutesy baby faced way due to chubby cheeks. With natural loss of mid face volume in my 40s all of a sudden my face was much more sculpted and I had cheekbones. I had a lot more attention and compliments in my 40s than in my 20s and 30s, it was very unexpected!

Maybe you look really crap and they feel sorry for you and are over compensating with the compliments?

I was at my hottest in my mid forties kids almost gone job good, was just an aura I felt and gave off. I then got pregnant again 😂😂

‘Maybe you look really crap and they feel sorry for you and are over compensating with the compliments?’

Unlikely. I’m in my mid 40s and going through a hotter than ever phase. It’s definitely a thing. Enjoy it OP!

Yeah, I lost weight though. Definitely hotter in my 40s than mid to late 30s

Also have the peri hot flashers which isn't so great
