If you were a sexy young flirty thing once, how do you avoid becoming a sad old leery woman?

[NormaSnorks]

OK, not the best of titles, but let me explain...

Let's say that in your teens, twenties and early thirties you were an attractive, sexy young thing:

• got lots of attention
• found work, socialising etc easy - you always seemed popular
• no shortage of boyfriends when young and admirers even when older
• you liked a bit of a flirt, and to some extent your 'personality' was related to your sexuality...

then wham... along comes motherhood, ageing, an extra stone in weight and suddenly you can't 'be' who you were before without seeming like some sort of leery old woman??

Is this what 'growing old gracefully is all about?'

What if you don't want to?

I've decided I'll try a toy boy the next time round.

i find them great fun

much better than men my age
