For some reason, many women who have already celebrated their 40th birthday are hammering the wrong things into their heads. And let's get rid of this already.
Myths over 40
"I will give odds to any young girl"
Yes, you may have taken many courses, trainings, and you have more life experience, but let's face it. Nowadays, girls at 25 are quite smart, well-read and experienced. You can remember yourself at their age, say that you were stupid, pimply, ugly, and now, right now! But this does not mean that the youngsters of the modern world will not be able to outrun you in something.
"Being overweight does not spoil me"
Yes, weight, of course, is unimportant, and it has absolutely no effect on the qualities of your personality. A woman can be attractive even at an older age and slightly "blurry". But let's be realistic, being overweight doesn't paint anyone! And it also worsens health, deprives women of lightness and adds age!
"This dress will suit me"
You, of course, have the right to wear whatever you want, and you can be very confident in yourself, but, if you are going to carry around youth dresses, skin-tight your body or expose some parts of it - a thousand times think!
"I look much younger"
What is the habit among women, to upload their photo somewhere on the network, with makeup or heavily photoshopped, or maybe both, and then write under the post: "How old do I look?" What do you expect to hear in response that you are a twenty-year-old girl? Well, we do not live on the moon, everyone can see everything perfectly. And don't say you look 10 years younger.
Yes, we among our friends can make such flattering compliments to each other, such as: “You look like a girl!”, But this is elementary politeness! And there is no need to take it seriously. And yet, if your passport is still asked when buying alcohol, this does not mean that you look so young. Sellers are obliged to ask documents even from over-aged women.
And women are also very fond of digging up photos of their mothers at the same age somewhere to show how much younger and better they look. But before women actually grew old much earlier. Now there are many opportunities, for example, cosmetology, proper nutrition, etc., and, of course, we look younger than our mothers at the same age.
And don't flatter yourself that you look a lot younger. With age, we all have nasolabials, the line of the cheeks floats, circles are visible under the eyes. You look your age, not younger!
"Guys don't see anything"
I typed a little, didn't do a manicure, didn't put on makeup, and so on - don't think that if a man is silent, then he doesn't notice anything! And in general, what a habit to think of men that they are stupid and blind? They see everything, they just want to be polite, they don't want to offend you, they love you with all your flaws. Of course, external data do not matter, and they do not in any way affect the personality traits, but do not forget that men love with their eyes!
You're 40 or more and that's great! Just enjoy life, love yourself and have fun with everything you do! And do not powder yourself with the above phrases. People see everything perfectly, you look as much as in your passport, stop rejuvenating by any means in order to be better / brighter / more seductive than girls at 25. Well, that's enough already!
