Back in the dark ages...a woman was considered a white haired granny after 50...so none wanted to admit to being in their 40's. That is such a crock now.
I'm 50, and love it! I consider OLD to be 80. (Go hang out at a nursing home sometime....

) Times, health, and lifestyles have changed since the days when it really was "ungentlemanly" to ask a woman her age.
The only time I was sensitive to being asked my age was the 18 to 28 years....when I really wanted to appear/be older and wiser.
Back in the 1940's, a starlet was considered washed up after about 35...so they really did lie about their ages, and women copied the movie stars back then.
My favorite fashion/beauty magazine is "MORE" which is for women 40 and over. Very beautiful, glamorous, and real women......
