Do you feel like it is appropriate to talk about your health in a social setting?

Or — Is it a taboo?

Explain how you feel. – Read the comments of others. – Join us weekly.

How have your attitudes about sex changed since you were a young woman?

Take your answer in any direction you want.

Thanks to everyone who has visited our site and left comments. This week, we’d like to follow-up on our question about appearances. We recognize that appearances are the superficial aspect of aging but, realistically, we all face challenges as we age. Here are three questions that are quick and easy to answer, and we invite you to tell us how you feel about any or all three of them:

1. What are age-appropriate clothes for women over 60?
2. Do you think you are as attractive as you were when you were 30?
3. Have you ever had cosmetic surgery or used Botox? If so, why?

Looking in the mirror, I think I’m fine. Then someone comments about another (usually younger) woman: “Hey, she looks great…for her age.”

Recently, a man and I had been emailing about a political campaign. Then one day we actually met. Though I didn’t mention this to him, he’s ten years older and six inches shorter than I am. He’s also bald as a bowling ball. But the first words out of his mouth were, “Hey, I bet you used to be a real knockout!”

Come on, tell us how you look…for your age.

What do you think is the most accurate and respectful term to use for women over 60? We are looking for the term that makes us proud to be in this category.

Susan and I wanted to turn the blatant phrase Old Women into something respectable. We couldn’t find any “old women” who would go along with us.

So, we are asking you. What term do you prefer? Senior? Elderwoman? Older Middle-age? Wise Woman? Old Lady? None of these?
