I know about the older you get the more invisible you become theory but aibu to think the fatter you get it's also true?
Gained 3-4 stone (comfort eating trauma related having counselling blah blah blah)
Anyway 4 stone ago doors would opened, I would get ushered through 'after you etc' now nothing not a thing. This morning I had to walk in the road twice as men my sort of age carried on walking.
Don't know why Im writing this it's just annoying

Confidence makes a marginal difference, but generally the other way round, whereby a conventionally attractive woman can become less visible by walking with her head down, avoiding eye contact etc. You see this a fair bit in young women. As for confidence being attractive, ime, it makes no difference at all, apart from perhaps a negative one in some cases. An attractive woman with low self esteem is, for obvious reasons, many mens' dream.
