Ask Amy: I think I look great, but men don’t agree

DEAR AMY: I am a 62-year-old woman. I am still attractive and (blessedly) wrinkle-free, due to being on an aggressive slew of hormones, anti-oxidants and telomerase-enhancing drugs. (I’m using all the latest technology.)

Because I am (apparently) unattractive to men, no matter what I do, I take solace in the few close but platonic relationships I have with a few men.

During a recent walk on the California beach with my friend “Martin,” he pointed out one beautiful nubile young woman after another, and then described his male reaction to them.

Martin also indicated that I should slim down. (I’m not overweight.)

As a middle-aged woman, I am used to being marginalized, but I think that, during the last three years, the problem has become acute. I’m not invisible: I’m reviled and demeaned, both by employers and single men.

my opinion: Do you mean "reviled" as in the way that you used to treat single men when you were in your sexual market prime?

Funny how women get all up in arms about it but had no issues when they were the ones doing it...

As always, women look to play the victim card in all situations

Notice the woman's bitter attitude (that she doesn't seem aware of). The world doesn't owe any one of us a bloody thing. We create the existence we have largely through our choices and our attitudes. I've been around people who complain like this at times...around women of various ages that complain about men in this way....

And I get the hell away from them. No way I want that attitude to influence me...and I will not associate with bitter complaining negative people. She needs to lose weight perhaps but she needs to gain a positive perspective. Despite her looks her attitude repels men.

Unfortunately people like this cannot see their real problem...and they end up being a drag for others. And they end up alone. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Dear Amy,

The other day I went into an upper class restaurant. I ordered a bunch of stuff (it was in French so I didn't really know what I was getting) and I drank two bottles of champagne. When the bill came, I thought $10 would would be fair. But the restaurant didn't agree. Since it's my money, shouldn't I be the one who decides how much it is worth? Who's right?
