aging as a woman :|: are you invisible yet?

hollis p monroe@hollistalks (44)2656d

how does a more mature woman feel when she gets too much attention on the street?
how does she feel when the attention stops?

hollis p monroe talks to his friend, carmen, getting her perspective on two very different conversations he had with women of a certain age.

carmen is a true berliner, not by birth, but by heart.

    The invisibility of older women is widely known and even documented quite well! We discussed this at length in one of my previous Psychology classes. I have witnessed it at work too! Although most of the senior women I talked to don’t share my opinion, I am grateful for the change! As a younger version of myself, I was very uncomfortable with all the attention I received. I sometimes even felt violated by some of that attention. It is a relief to go about my life without feeling like someone is always watching!

    Ha, that's actually a thing, the eye-contact-thing. "I don't know if other women have similar feelings." Yes, now that I am confident enough to look into a stranger's eyes, they usually don't look back (rather after me, shaking their heads … :D) BUT since you, @hollistalks, are experiencing the same: That's definitely a Berlin thing. Three out of three Berliners … should have us thinking. :D

    No, honestly. I criticize it daily! And I promise, if we should pass each other by at any time, I promise to have an open and smiling face. And being open doesn't have to be an invitation. It depends on a lot of things. Body language tells a lot! Nice to have you!
