Attractiveness. It’s an X factor sort of thing, with no connection to age.

This story is told to me by close colleague.

In my twenties, I worked in a busy newsroom. There was a news editor who used to sit in my section. His name was Jack.

He was in his fifties and so damned debonair, it was ridiculous. He wasn’t well-built or textbook handsome. He was just a normal guy with white hair and a measured, quiet and respectful demeanor.

A total old school gentleman with good manners, good humor and complete consideration and class. His dress sense and mannerisms were tasteful.

I had the maddest crush on him. Here I was, an attractive and jubilant young lady with plenty of young suitors, but I would’ve thrown each one of them under a bus for Jack.

Every time he walked past, my heart would flutter. We’d banter, each of us staring at our desktop PCs while we exchanged cute pleasantries and flirtatious barbs. I remember he’d giggle with humble embarrassment every time I flattered him.

One day, he asked me to lunch. “HOLY SMOKE!”

I was dead excited. I was about to crack the nut I’d cultivated for months!

We sat in the canteen, across from each other, chatting and joking. He grew increasingly nervous. He looked down, shuffled his feet, his throat trembling somewhat, and he said ‘I get the impression that you’re a bit interested. I’m so deeply flattered.

I hit him with every apology I could think of. He kept batting them away, saying that he was deeply flattered and was so grateful that I would find a ‘boring old man’ like him attractive.

Jack and I remained good friends for many years after I’d left that job and moved to another country. In fact, he and his partner ended up becoming great friends with me and my future husband. We’d all meet up every time the two of them came to Britain to visit.

This is my long-winded way of saying that attractiveness is in a person’s bones. Age is irrelevant. As a woman in her fifties, I feel every bit as attractive as I ever did.

At any given moment, YOU could very well be someone’s Jack(ie).

Thank you …Aging is not just about wrinkles and saggy skin.

Loving relationships and, more in general, being in love keep you young for longer.

Love is the force that moves everything.

It stimulates the brain to release different hormones and neurotransmitters that affect cardiovascular & immune system.

Just don’t give away that “something” that gives you a spark in the eye.

Love makes you glow. Being in love makes you feel and look amazing.

Sometimes just thinking about the person you’re in love with gives you butterflies and makes your heart go wild.

Love is the most powerful, moving, soul-transforming feeling in the world.

Think of aging as “that which happens to our bodies over time.” This definition encompasses the multiple processes that the human body goes through as it ages (as opposed to the signs of aging, such as gray hair and wrinkles).

Some aging is caused by the body, such growth spurts children go through during puberty. Aging can also be accumulative, such as the onset of skin damage due to excessive sun exposure.

Aging is ultimately a combination of physiological changes in our bodies and the environmental factors we are exposed to. While the latter is often beyond our control, some environmental factors are modifiable and may influence the course of aging.

Do you want to add a word or two?…

Undoubtedly, being in love affects quite a lot more than your mood.

If you’re in a deep, loving relationship, the magical feeling you share with your partner has the power to improve the way you look and the way you feel. In other words, you look stunning, and you feel amazing!

Taking the first step towards a whole new life is one of the scariest, yet boldest things ever.

Making the choice to change your lifestyle is never easy. However, when you’re in a loving relationship with a supportive partner, it doesn’t seem so scary and difficult.

Your Comments……

When you’re truly in love, your whole aura changes. Your face glows, your smile shines brighter, and your happiness definitely shows. Some call it the ‘love glow’.

Being in a loving, romantic relationship makes your whole being radiate magical vibes. And these vibes make you look more dazzling and youthful than ever.

Love takes care of your figure.

Along with the youthful appearance, love also makes you look a lot slimmer. When you’re in love, all the adrenalin, dopamine, and oxytocin your mind and your body produce, often act as an appetite suppressant.

This means less midnight walks to the fridge. What’s more, if you and your partner motivate each other to lead a healthier life together, you might as well hit the gym and keep that extra weight off.

So thanks to your partner, not only you look hotter, but you also take better care of your body.

Love boosts your confidence.

Feeling good in your own skin is truly amazing.

Being in love lifts your spirits and makes you stand a little taller than usual. It just makes you feel great about yourself.

The sensation of being loved by the one you love can not only make you feel glamorous, but it can also teach you how to love yourself as well.

In other words, love takes you on a journey to rediscovering yourself, believing in your own potential, and appreciating yourself for who you truly are.
