The left is a picture of J-Lo with makeup. The right is a picture of J-Lo without makeup. Lol...
Define graceful. If you’re referring to celebrities and their plastic surgery, I don’t really get that either, but to each their own. And I guess if you’re J-Lo or whoever, your sexual value is kind of based on what people think of when they hear your name (which generally is an iconic image of yourself from when you were at your physical peak), so you’ll still be viewed as a sex symbol most of your life. They also seem to be able to attract hot younger men if we’re going by the likes of Kylie Minogue, Kate Beckinsale etc. If you have the monetary ability to live a decadent lifestyle then people will flock to you no matter how old you are or what you look like, but nips and tucks will just satisfy the reflection in the mirror!
So I guess to answer your question in the best way I can, they probably do it because they realise that they can, and because they’re more focused on being satisfied in their own lives than worrying about what a certain percentage of the population think of them. And that’s how we should all live! Who cares what wankers think of you?
Why do you care anyway? Seems like that wouldn’t really affect you...

Its true that the majority of attractive females lose their siren call after they pass 30 years old, while attractive males only get more attractive well into their 30s.
Women need to accept this fact of nature and choose to lock down their husband while theyre in their early 20s. Waiting till 28-30 to get married is satanic (anti-nature). First of all, it encourages promiscuity. Secondly, it lowers the quality of a girl's children. Thirdly, women remain depressed or "mysteriously sad" even though they have a loving family, active sex life, and successful career. Why? Because they are 'semen deficient', a term i coined myself to describe the condition of most women. Indeed there are 2.5x more women on anti depressants than men. That appears ironic since women have more freedom than ever before. Or do they? Actially women are less free than ever before because theyre shamed for wanting children while theyre young. Women NEED children to be happy. Just like men NEED to "climb the mountain" to be happy. Its truly ironic that feminism has made women less free. Not surprisimgly tho, the early feminists were ugly women that couldnt have children (or were too self conscious to have children). It was all planned to be this way, miserable women love company.
In the moment before "the wall" they take their youth and beauty for granted. Since she has 100 simps messaging her on the regular on a monthly basis (obviously they are wanting just sex or her nudes) she thinks she can get any boyfriend she wants like ordering from the menu. She will think she got everything she needs (youth, beauty and sex) to get a good man but in truth those are the bare minimum and rather unconvincing parameters because almost half of the human population can offer the same as she does (and then it's a matter of question which of the 1000 girls we'll pick by those same parameters). When that number of inboxing messages/follows diminishes, she'll see it happening. Tick tock on the clock! And then the awakening. Who loves waking up to bad news?
It is hard with women being only valued when they are young. Most women get a lot of attention in their youth so when old age comes and the attention drastically declines it is hard to adjust with it, compared to suppose if the change was more steady. It is not about whether or not it is a good or bad thing, most of us naturally feel out of our element if something that we are familiar with isn't there anymore, a universal truth for both genders. The media has learned to capitalize on this even further by convincing women that they can prevent it all and the perfect woman can totally do it and if a woman can't then something is wrong with her.
Sure technology has improved a lot and women can maintain a youthful appearance by taking good care of their skin and overall health, supplementing and all that. It is feasible to maintain yourself and still look good as you get older even with signs of ageing, but a big change requires more than that and most women cannot afford it. And ultimately, it can never be brought to a full stop.

I just don’t like that term and what it means. It supports the idea that people (men and women but mostly women) are less valuable the older you are simply because you look different... as if getting old is a bad thing. I’m actually quite okay with getting wrinkles, saggy skin, freckles, gray hair, the whole nine. I choose to feel beautiful inside and out regardless of how others tell me how much I’ve “hit the wall”.
Okay and? Like, is that supposed to be an insult? People are aware that they are getting closer to death. It’s not rocket science. And to go out of your way to shove it in people’s faces with this popular hit the wall slogan, seems like more a shaming tactic whenever women carry over their confidence to older age or even when they are insecure and want to dress them up more with clothes and makeup... sometimes that even extends to women simply having the desire to want to continue dating or getting into a relationship. You’re just kicking somebody when you consider them to be “down” or in an inferior place in their life.
I haven’t gotten to that age where that’s something I have to hear on a regular basis but it is annoying to witness beautiful ladies of older age get told “ah well you’ve hit the wall”. Like even if they are not beautiful in your eyes, why are you going out of your way to make them see what you see? Older women and even older men deserve to preserve their self esteem without assholes trying to make them feel like shit.As a woman in her thirties who has “hit the wall” it’s because it indicates that I only had any value at all for being 22 and gorgeous and not for having humility or moral character. Additionally, I also get sick of being judged for not having a man in my life at this age and having to justify ALL THE TIME why I’m still single to men and older people who just assume there’s something wrong with me. Yeah there’s a reason why, it’s because I got dumped by guys left and right because I wouldn’t sleep with them. I refuse to sleep with men who I’m not in love with so if that means I remain a lonely old cat lady for the rest of my life, so be it. As for the men who won’t date me because of my age, they’re not options for me anyway so no loss to either me or them really.
Because there is no such thing. And healthy men know it's a joke. Everybody hits a so-called wall. Aging is natural. I still look like a teenager but stress and so much damage to my health and life problems aged me faster. But that doesn't give people the right to act like jerks. People who find it important to talk about others looks and say something so rude of others are people who have bigger insecurities than the ones their making fun of. I don't have to accept that crap from people. I know how God made me.
Shallow Incel detected. Why do you care so much about that? Look at yourself. Men look like shit after 25 but i still respect them lol since i judge them by their personality. Many men i know look fat, loose their hair at late 20s etc. Average european man is overweight while european women tend to have a healthy weight according to statistics but some boys like you have the audacity to say a thing about women's looks.
Women have a lot of tools to clean up with. We have make up and it is a bit more acceptable to have plastic surgeries etc. Estrogen makes the skin thinner so things tend to sag a bit more. Overall it would seem it is more noticeable for women because we have so much changing but also I think there’s a psychological component. We say Men age gracefully but really is it because we just find the aged look more attractive in men than we do women? Perhaps there are a lot of components to this. 😎😎😎
Because you get more in life being beautiful, some may go as far as getting surgical enhancements. People always want the best and will always compete. Many women want to be more beautiful or be the most beautiful. Some reasons include, to be more confident, to get revenge, to get a career they want (modelling), to become better, to get the man they love, to have men lust over them, to have men lust over them so they pay for them (money, clothes, rent, etc), and they love the attention. I for one, in all honesty want to be more beautiful. My sister is beautiful and she gets everything she wants in life, while i'm homely looking and barely get by. At my workplace, I noticed most men always help the better looking girl even if they're wrong. Life is cruel, you have to adapt.
I’m okay with my age. My days of younger days are behind me. I know a lot of woman who can’t handle aging
Even at 50, her value is high and most men wouldn’t stand a chance.
I say, take good care of yourself, and if a little filler or Botox does you good, turn do it but don’t overdo it. For example Gwen Stefani is 51 and looks damn good right now. She’s way higher value than Blake so you know she truly loves that man. But whatever work she’s getting she should probably not exceed because she’ll be overdoing it.I would say I’ve hit the wall.
I feel much better the older I get, and I’m quite happy about my appearance.
I have good genes anyway, and am enjoying getting older gracefully.
Should those of us over 40 not enjoy wearing makeup or nice clothes?They're taught that they can have whatever they want, they believe it, and nothing you can say will shake their delusion. Women are ruled by emotion, not logic. If something makes them feel bad they'll reject it no matter how truthful it is. Either that or as you've seen they'll go to the other extreme and go way off of the deep end.
So basically men are shallow and women are gold-diggers? (I mean I don't disagree)
Is that hitting the wall? Darling, right side is your typical 18-20 girl without makeup. Left side two hours later.
I think aging gracefully has to do with fully taking care of yourself. That means eating healthy, doing things you enjoy and definitely NOT stressing about age or any other non-sense. Live every decade of your life as you are meant to do, as I'm sure all of them will have good and bad things.As long as they keep having an healthy lifestyle and keep taking care of themselves they will continue to be attractive.
You can see this more today than ever. Many very hot actresses and instagram models are over 30.jennifer lopez will always be high value even if she is 60. because she is a celeb. Celebs always have people wanting to date them. recently she married alex rodriguez. yea... hitting the wall... right...
Really? JLo is hot af and she's 50 years old! But to answer your question its because looks are women's most valuable asset. Once you stop getting attention and special treatment its a shock because you're used to it. Its tough to accept but there's a point where you accept it and being young becomes a thing of the past.
Lol
Probably cause of how media portrays them a lot of times.
Same with men in certain cases too.
Media often sets extreme beauty standards for men and women, a bit more based on looks for women so it's seems logical they'd feel insecure about losing their youth.
Just like how men are made to be insecure about their penis size or bank balance or lack ripped bodies.
But that's just my opinion, not sure if this is the case. I could be wrong.It’s the same with both genders. Men get insecure about balding.
I’m 26 right now. I’ve been blessed with being 25% white and 75% Asian. So i look 12. Aging isn’t really my big concern yet. My mom (who is Asian) doesn’t even have any grey hair yet. And she’s in her 50s. My dad is half Asian and half white.
I guess people put a lot of value in the way they look. I would much rather value things that will last longer than looks tho.there are plenty of women Who do and plenty women who don't. the women who don't tend to fall in the spectrum of not taking care of themselves physically, mentally, spiritually, sexually and financially. basically they invested poorly in life and in themselves. The ones who do however have done the complete opposite. things always change, no matter the gender but it's how well and what you did to prepare for that change that decides how things will turn out once it happens.
You can't fight but you can prevent. The pictures you've posted is JLo with and without makeup and she has great skin without makeup on considering her age.
