    I am 73 and notice that having vanished from turning heads some five years ago , I have felt gratitude that I was noticed for so many years , although never photogenic . I learnt as a young women that if the men you love don’t see you as *you and respect the *you beyond the looks then your not truly loved , from the looks perspective and sexual attraction being the main reason to love a women will for sure end badly , some men are very limited , women who stay with men like that are also limited . This obsession with one’s looks and the disappointment of discovering you have not met a man of depth is the learning curve that hurts the most. *it is not discovering your getting older therefor you are not worth loving ,which is utter nonsense. If you know what love is you know that no age limit exists*

    Great discussion. Thank you for championing womens' aging. I'm 57 and have noticed I've become more invisible and I love it because with more invisibility is more freedom. I don't care to impress anyone by my looks and love to move around in the world unbothered and feeling free.

    I'm currently on a streak of her interviews bc I find her point of view very fascinating and inspiring. she never talks badly about her husband who has passed even though she has reason to do so, which is very kind of her. but I can't help but remark that he was 40 and she was 19 when they first met. she doesn't (to my knowledge) problematize that fact in her interviews and their marriage lasted for a very long time, so the situation isn't black and white. but she did mention the attractiveness of naivité in young girls to men. that fact is very true in my own experience and so, so heartbreaking.

    I recall a black and white photo of Georgia O'keefe in profile, handling a lump of clay. She was in her nineties I think, her face wrinkled, her hair in that iconic bun, her long beautiful hands, wrinkled too....how beautiful I thought ( I was 14). I've always thought old women were beautiful.....not least of which my beloved grandmother, wrinkled, blissfully fat (I loved her whole body hugs!, soft and enveloping!)...and a fabulous laugh ....that still lightens my heart to recall it...

    i Love the way older woman today are starting to embrace their natural aging process, and express their beauty in ways that makes them feel and look attractive and fabulous despite the wrinkles and aging changes. I know as a 65 year old woman I totally enjoy women who are embracing and expressing their older beauty and having fun with, whether it is with make up or clothing or healthy lifestyles. And are teaching and sharing their ideas and techniques, thoughts and experiences.

    She is right. even the young ones can’t attain the beauty standard they can for a while and then it all falls apart as we get onto our late 30’s. It’s kind of crazy because even if I see a young beautiful woman I just think for now.

    Great interview...thank you. I wonder too, how much is biologically wired into us. Not just procreation...but what we see as beautiful. I remember as a little girl, being really attracted to certain characters on TV because I thought they were beautiful. I was very young...so I wouldn't have been programmed yet to know what was considered beautiful in society....nor would I have been influenced by my peers. I'm 64, so in my childhood, there was no social media that would have molded my views. Not sure if commercials would have played a part or not in my young age. I am an artist, so I try to see beauty in all things. I will confess though...when I look in the mirror, my neck and platysma bands really bother me... even while I'm telling myself that nothing is good or bad but for thinking so... yet it's still hard to override the internal judgement and shame emotions. I love the idea of Paulina helping direct a new approach to modeling and the beauty industry ... there are many, many of us that want that.

    Nothing is unforgivable when we expand our ability to forgive. Forgiving doesn't mean you make the action acceptable, it just releases you from your suffering, Paulina. I know a lot about forgiveness, as I've had to learn to forgive a lot, as well as ask to be forgiven when I made a lot of bad mistakes in my life. Forgiveness is crucial, Paulina, and i would encourage you to work harder at it for your own well being. If I may help, I would glad share all I know for free and recommend some good books on the subject for you. Thank you for the interview Tami. I really didn't like your negative comments about men, but I forgive you.

    I am 55. Beauty is not only defined by men. It is also defined overall as able, thin, & white. That is, & has been the societal standard. Thumbnail is me at 53. A retired actress / singer. Wheelchair, & crutch user. From birth. I grew up knowing from a very early age. 1. That I was beautiful, & 2. That I was not supposed to be. The reactions. The shock, & bias, attached to the use of a chair. While looking like I did. Were just so pronounced. I could not miss them. Literal cartoon like reactions. As I got older. I realized what was causing such dissonance. Generally as a group. As part & parcel of the overarching bias. We are at once infantilized, & asexualized. All that said. I was not feeling, or necessarily seeing myself that way. I was the only wheelchair user ln class. (1975 ) It was about that same time. ln music class. I also was singled out for my voice. I sang songs at home. with my mother. As she played guitar. Until the music teacher stopped everything. Asked me to sing alone, & put me in the talent show. I had no idea, that not everyone. Could sing. Nor that once again. I was shattering the box. They kept trying to shove me into. Societal boxes are all around us. They are nothing new. The question / choice is. Will you conform. Keeping yourself small. Uniform. For the comfort of others. Choosing cookie cutter definitions. Instead of your own. Or. Be yourself. A flawed, complex, beautifully unique. Multi-faceted. Human.

    View of beauty is biological largely. There is the flower of youth and fertility / strength and there is the beauty of crone / sage wisdom. They are different, and wise women and men will accept the transition and not expect to be seen the same way their whole lives.

    We’re 60 plus, but have no gray hair. Well maybe a few strays in the bangs, which we occasionally put in a wash in rinse, golden highlights or a red tint. And we use it now and then, be it’s such a gorgeous glow, have been told. But, we have v few gray hairs and know a 40 yr old young lady, actually in her 30’s, had some gray hairs where we didn’t. Today, sh3 has a lot more gray hairs in the crown, but she’s v pretty and a nice person. But, the point….gray hair, for example, apparently, is all relative. Their 20 yrs younger than us and they have more gray hairs than us. We only have a few strays. So, it’s relative, can’t really put an age on it, specifically, necessarily.

They couldn't have been more wrong. Also, not one hair on her head was ever colored and she had very little gray hair. Since I was 18 not one hair on my head has been it's natural color for more than an inch of it's life... LOL 🤣😂

    I am a 62 year old man and I am becoming MORE attractive each day. Every day women stop and stare at me, ask me for my phone number, invite me to have drinks or even, the creepy ones, directly proposition me. And it’s just getting worse as I age. If they are very young I check their ID to make sure that they are over 18, but I’m worrying that some might be borrowing their big sister’s. It’s so much stress.

    Ok, she can not capitalize from her youth and beauty in any way any more, she lost all assets in this area, and she is astonished and bitter about it. Why and how is possible not to notice it, as a child you can see how people are treated, all people, and children too. Polina was objectified, not just as any young beautiful woman, but as a happy collaborator in the slavery system called modeling, which is mainly criminal, and also ideological and political, other then entertainment, business or art, as presented by their own marketing. This lady is like a character from The Zone of Interest, unlike many other top models that are very vocal and clear about their experiences, trauma, rapes, abuse and criminal behavior toward minors and young models in fashion business.
