I've realised that the last time I felt attractive was in 2006
I wondered if others feel like that too

This afternoon, in bed with DP Grin.

I'm 50, btw, with grown up children, so should presumably be feeling like an old gimmer.

I do know I'm not as attractive as I was when I was 20, but I was so attractive then that I could afford to lose a bit of attractiveness and still look pretty good.

It probably helps that I am slim and petite generally, and have good genes and nice hair.

I have actually found ageing quite hard, as I know I'm not as drop-dead gorgeous as I used to be, purely because part of that comes from youth.

Now. I'm 52 and still feel attractive.

About 8 months ago 😉… baby due in Jan!!! Hate what being pregnant looks like in reality. Lovely idea but I find the physical effect really quite unattractive ☹️ Xo

@TheHungriestMama I used Weightwatchers, though I know some people on here don’t like WW or SW. they have recently changed their plan and have heard mixed reports. People say it promotes processed foods but you don’t have to buy their own brand stuff. For me, it helped me learn sensible portions, and I focus on unprocessed foods as much as possible.

I feel attractive. Up till now (early thirties) I've been feeling more attractive rather than less, as I now have more confidence in myself and my feelings. Hoping that's not all about to change Grin

I felt really good about how I looked going out on my birthday last month.. I’ve had to change my mindset that my disability doesn’t make me unattractive.. but I had a new outfit, new shoes, I’d done my makeup, and I even managed to get a decent photo.

smurfsss · 17/12/2021 22:57

Yesterday. Wore a cute new shirt to the office.

I rate myself though.

KrakowDawn · 17/12/2021 23:01

God knows. Probably never have tbh.

I'm mid 30's and I really find certain days of the month I feel attractive, look great in my clothes, hair on point - and then hormones hit and I feel so ugly and fat. I'm a small size 12. I honestly think feeling attractive comes from within. If you're not happy with your life, then it's unlikely you'll feel it

Wagsandclaws · 17/12/2021 23:02

Yesterday. I am nearly 50 and I look the best I've ever looked now I think.

I've lost over 6 stone, need to lose another 2 really but I also bought a whole new wardrobe had cosmetic surgery on my neck and lower face ( everything sagged badly after that sort of weight loss in my 40's ) .I've got the neck of a 30 year old now - it was either my neck or my stomach and I chose my neck and Spanx.

My body in truth is a horrid saggy mess and I could do with a tummy tuck after being so overweight and having 5 children BUT I dress well and hide it as best I can. My husband says I should be proud of my body because it's carried the children we have and it tells a wonderful tale. He finds me very attractive either fat or smaller.

My skin is lovely now thanks to retinol. I use fillers and Botox - I am told I am attractive by my husband, kids and friends - I feel it too, I suppose that's all that matters in the end isn't it?

Last night in bed with Dh.

Probably at my BF hen party and she's been married for nearly 20 years!

Holidaytan · 17/12/2021 23:35

Every day.
I look after myself in terms of keeping fit and healthy and I’m slim.
I never wear make up and some days I don’t even brush my hair, but I always feel attractive, even in my leggings and raincoat!

I’ve not always felt this way, far from it. It was something I put effort into telling myself a few years ago.
I also spend a lot of time naked, which helps with acceptance.
Plus, I’m naturally a nice shape - good legs, D boobs etc.
I’m very happy in my day to day life, which again helps with overall contentment.

Now.
I'm 50 and slimmer and way more attractive than I was 30 years ago!

Ibizafun · 17/12/2021 23:54

Before menopause to be honest! That's not to say post menopausal women are not attractive, I know loads who are.. but I just look so old!!

givemepiece · 17/12/2021 23:56

Sunday night... I had my make up done professionally and went to a friends bday party. We then went to the bar next door and SO many guys were (I thought) checking me out. I really felt like the centre of attention

I realised later it was a gay bar though... Grin dunno what they were staring at!

Shmithecat2 · 17/12/2021 23:56

On holiday in October. I felt really good in the outfit I'd put on to go out to dinner, and dh's eyes lit up too when he saw me. It was a lovely feeling.

MarmitesMyMate · 18/12/2021 00:01

Never! I've always hated how i look. I'm boring looking. Had bad skin as a teen. It's fine now but ' weathered, haggard whatever u may say'
I can't stand my ' mummy tummy' and no matter if I diet I still have large thighs and calfs.

I never ever have photos taken

MarmitesMyMate · 18/12/2021 00:03

To add. Dh finds me attractive and I struggle to see how. I squirm inside when he compliments me daily!

Ohyesiam · 18/12/2021 00:11

I felt attractive today. Whether I was or not is a different matterGrin. People didn’t act attracted, but maybe they were busy Christmas shopping?

DramaAlpaca · 18/12/2021 00:55

Today. I'm in my late 50s and I've never been conventionally beautiful, but what I do have is confidence in myself. I feel good about myself, I think I'm attractive, therefore I am.
