Sometime In My 50s, I Became Invisible.

[HereWeGoAgain]

I hear ya.
When you get old the opposite sex definitely doesnt notice you like when you were young.
Unless you have a lot of money and it shows.
Although I'm perfectly happy not being noticed by the young chicks since I dont want the hassle of the wife divorcing me and taking half.

It looks like cancer survived her.

Which is too bad.

I didn’t notice at first. It’s hard to sense the lack of a thing, like when you don’t realize your headache is gone until an hour after it starts to recede.

It’s not like I’d ever been a head-turner. Reasonably attractive, I’ve never stood out in the ways that make people either excited or uncomfortable. But I was pleasing enough (and pleasant enough) that I’d gather grins and glances.

But somewhere in my early 50s, people just stopped noticing me.
I started to have to say “Hello?” at the register to get the cashier’s attention. As I repeated my coffee order, I could see their eyes moving past me, lighting on younger, bolder, more interesting people.
“This is it,” I thought. “I’ve become invisible.”

Small damn wonder. If I was working the register I would say. Excuse me old man, why you so upset?

Welcome to the party bitch, time was not kind to you.....Most everyone joins the ranks of "the invisible" by and by, you are nothing special.

Where are you at in life (at any age) that you need the male gaze from a guy behind a register making maybe $8/hour to deal with some people that the rest of us try to avoid?

I've been invisible my whole life.

And I learned to work it to my advantage.

.



Yep.

I like it this way.

She has a butch haircut and a sourpuss face that can stop a train and she wonders why nobody flirts with her?

.



And she's obviously a whiner. Probably has one of those nails-on-a-chalkboard voices.

I'm in my 50' s and people are always chatting with me at the store and vice versa. Maybe she doesn't give friendly vibes. I only experience ageism at work.

That's a good peek into life inside a white leftist bubble. Not a pretty picture.

It's true that when you vibe others with unpleasantness, they do not respond warmly.

Isn't love grand. Property and assets last longer though.
Rumore has it that seniors who divorce end up less well off, some in the poor house.

When my wife was in her 50s she was very attractive for her age group.

I don't get it. Who is that woman in the photo? You?

 

[notmyfault2020]

I've always been invisible

I like it myself
