I am 60 years old. One day, I suddenly felt the urge to buy a mini skirt. I went out, purchased one, put it on, and stepped outside. Men showered me with compliments, while women muttered about my inappropriate appearance.
Let me make it clearI hardly ever wear clothes like that. But recently, after dropping a few extra pounds, my figure has become slimmer, so I wanted to wear something that highlights my progress. As for my weight loss, I didnt put myself through harmful diets; instead, I simply drank more fluids and started eating sensibly. The most crucial rule was not to eat after 6pm when trying to lose weight.
To celebrate my little achievement, I headed to a shop and bought a mini skirt. I thought it would serve as motivation for mea reminder to keep myself trim and confident, and never let myself gain weight again.
Wearing my new outfit, I went to my friend Susans birthday party. There were loads of guests, including gentlemen. The men showered me with compliments, pointing out my long, shapely legslike those of a model.
However, the women werent as enthusiastic as the men. They commented that wearing such clothes at sixty is inappropriate. I replied that I dont dress like this every day. Besides, I now have a good figurewhy shouldnt I show it off a little?
After returning home, my feelings were mixed following the evening. I dont understand why women can be so harsh. Why dont we support each other, and instead focus only on faults and criticism?
