“It’s really unfair to expect 50+ year old women to compete with 20 somethings on the dating market. No wonder people aredepressed.”
A person commented: “Calling it now. In 10 years, there will be demand for natural aging andwrinkles. People will always chase novelty until it stops being novel.”
A cybernaut questioned: “Who set the standard?”
Someone else penned: “Unmaintainable. When women get less direct attention as they age, they should refine their strategy and deepen themselves.
“Not try to compete with other women on the same field until their 50s. Then again, all thecelebrity/public facing stuff is its own world.”
“It really is,” a netizen echoed. “At some point women should just be allowed to get old without being treated like a rock in everyone’s shoe.”
The debates focused on the unrealistic beauty standards imposed on aging women
An observer stated: “I am almost 40. I’m allowed to be ugly now. I claim my right to exist whilst ugly.”
A separate individual chimed in: “And the only people that can live up to the standard are people who have anextreme amount of wealth.”
