My Reason

[Mike130]

Hello Everyone,

I've recently shared some old scanned photos in the "B&W" thread. I've received some nice messages from interesting people, one of whom asked me a question which made me realize I need to do more than post some pictures without explanation. The question was, "Why are you posting these pictures?"

For context: The pictures were taken years ago. I'm now on my now closer to 50 than 40, married twice, trying to swim among the chaos of modern life, and now the type of person who just blends into crowds and who walks by unnoticed by anyone.

In the years when these pictures were taken, I could open doors with a smile. Much of daily society simply tripped over itself to have my attention. And, I had done nothing to deserve it! I simply existed in the shell God gave me.

Now, these years later, I have raised a child who is a good person, built two businesses which employ people who support their families, and contributed in positive ways to society. Although I'm now wiser and smarter and more capable in so many ways, as a typical frumpy middle-aged woman I'm simply valued less. Men and women treat me with less respect, give me less patience, listen to my opinions less... and on and on.

Obviously, this is tale is not my own. And while I don't have grand illusions, I do hope to open even one person's mind to the fact that we were all young and beautiful once... men and women. And nearly all of us did outlandish things with our bodies and with each other; there is nothing new. The outwardly attractive woman in the image that you're idealizing or masturbating over this morning might well be the older woman that you're thoughtlessly dismissing in a daily interaction this afternoon, or the elderly woman walking into a store.

So, my Reason: I'm hoping to just remind you that all people have value and all deserve respect, regardless of appearance. Outward appearance is just a lottery and is only skin deep.

You’re correct, when we’re younger we seem to cherish physical beauty. In my personal journey I’ve evolved to value my wife’s intelligence, sense of humor, and her sensuality as much or more than her physical beauty. As you’ve alluded to, physical beauty is only skin deep, there is so much more to a person to stimulate you intellectually and sexually.

Thanks for the explanation, great insight on your life, and you raised things I had never considered, I now understand how the loss of attention does feel like a loss especially as we cannot do much about the genetics that give us the shell we are in.
Thanks for the pictures, you looked incredible, I'm sure you continue to illuminate the world from the shell you reside in.

That’s very thought provoking, and probably true for most older people in the world. We’ve traded beauty for wisdom. Yes, we need to look deeper, beyond the physical shell, to see the beauty that is still there. Hinted at in a smile. The eyes. Yes, the beauty is still there, but it’s now enhanced with wisdom and experience. Maybe we don’t last as long in bed. But maybe we’re better lovers.

Not only great pics, but an even better written post! I'd like to think I'm one to not pass up having a gander, and often a desire for those ladies with that special experience of living life to the fullest.

Wow you look awesome and thanks for sharing

 

[Schalk3070]

Stunning photos, I love the black and white, adds so much sensuality! Thank you for sharing!

Like to see your pictures where can I find them

 

[imamdboy]

there are so many shallow people in this world. I would lay heavy odds that you still shine in whatever shape you currently wear. I'll admit i look at so much more than just those typical physical attributes, eyes are a wonderful gauge of the person. What is that old saying, Eyes are the window to the soul. Thanks for sharing the photos you did, they are definitely beautiful, but i'm sure you still are.

I'm seeing this post for the first time today, and feel compelled to say this before I go any further...

Your heart and awareness of those around you are very evident in the words you wrote. You very obviously care greatly for the people around you and for those who rely on you. Some of what you said echoes thoughts I've had myself, wondering as I see others moving about...wondering things like...what was she like before life took it's toll, how pretty her smile would be if a gentleman were to tell her how lovely she looks.
You have a wonderfully bright outlook, and I'm very happy that I found your comment today.

 

[storypost603]

I just found this today. You look so good and thank you for posting. Back in the day I only looked at the young ladies with lust. I was lucky I found my wife when we were 16 and have been with each other ever since. As I got older the ladies i looked at also got older. Mature women turned me on more and more. Ladies that are older then me are a turn on now. Yes a cute younger lady still looks good but Older ladies are hot. Thinking about the things they have done in life is a turn on to me.
