Is it normal that i'm afraid of aging?

As a woman, I'm afraid that nobody will consider me attractive after a certain age. I've seen older people date each other, but I'm just worried that nobody will find me attractive when I reach thirty or forty.

    I married a woman about my age when I was in my late fifties. I find her very attractive! Our definitions of attractiveness evolve as we mature, and the real qualities that attract us don't diminish with age. In fact, they may well improve if we focus on them instead of fighting the physical effects of aging.

    You have until about 35-ish before your "youthful" days are over - anyone who thinks that age is older than what I just stated is only fooling themselves.

    Once you reach that age, you sort of transform; well, at least your way of thinking does. You start to realize that there's a whole other aspect to You that you've been putting on the sidelines: it's your personality. When you're in your thirties, you start to fall in love with yourself more and you're kinder to yourself. This will happen whether you try to make it happen or not. When you get there, you don't feel a need to obsess over your looks because you start to realize how little they truly matter. Of course, not every woman learns this lesson, but most do.

    Now, I don't mean, you'll start to never care about yourself and you'll start dressing and acting like a bull-hunk. What I am trying to put across to you is; you don't have to worry about it. Your inner persona will grow in beauty (with proper cultivation) as you age, and it will soften the blow of physical aging.

    Use sunscreen and don't smoke cigarettes, if you don't want pre-mature wrinkles.

    I don't know about other guys, but for me I find women at the age of 30-50 so freaking attractive.

    Well I'm a guy and just turned 29 two weeks ago and I feel the same, the big "30" scares the hell out of me!!!

    One thing I did learn is to enjoy the age your at now. I remember thinking when hit about 24 "Man am I getting old", now that I'm 29 I look at 24 yr old as a baby!!! LOL
