This is unlike me and not a little scary!<br /><br />I summarise your advice that one needs to keep fit and build other value to keep up the attractiveness quotient. It appears doable in the face of aging. :-)<br /><br />In the absence of Awesome who is spending a great day with his grandchildren, and in the shadow of a global recession, I am working on thinking positively and building my core team for facing the challenges ahead. <br /><br />Thank you again! :-)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433372242754452048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262021152381903823.post-74616704966664252542011-08-07T07:14:42.178+10:002011-08-07T07:14:42.178+10:00Just keep that ass in shape by going to the gym an...Just keep that ass in shape by going to the gym and doing barbell squats.

Beauty is such an individual, idiosyncratic quality. And furthermore attraction is based on such a very complex combination of qualities, most of which are not based on appearance. I understand the feelings you are talking about because I tend to be insecure about my appearance also. It seems to be a natural instinct for us to be have anxieties about our appearance. But in the experience of real life love and sex, one's erotic satisfaction and appreciation for one's lover is rarely based primarily on appearance. It would be good for us to every once in a while have a reality check, and to remind ourselves of this.Erichttp://iliveinthefar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262021152381903823.post-32281828334574651962011-08-05T10:10:32.980+10:002011-08-05T10:10:32.980+10:00Dear Candice: It has been said that "Beauty i...Dear Candice: It has been said that "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I also am aging gracefully (the over 50 group). I am an Afro-American. I used to consider myself as handsome, but now I see a greying older man. I am less confident of my appearance now, but for some unknown reason I am receiving more attention from the opposite sex than I can truthfully handle. My wife is Caucasian and is attractive as ever (she works out every day), but I still work at staying in shape and keeping fit (I cycle, swim, hike and do yoga). If a man or woman takes care of them-self, they will continue to be attractive to the opposite sex, regardless of ethnicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
