I realized that women 50 and over kinda have a new lease on life and view things so differently. You could say we matured a bit. This is just a fun article on 50 things women love about being 50 and over.
I hope you like it. Please share in the comments down below if I missed something!
I remember when I became a 50 year old woman I thought my life was over. Haha! Nothing could be further from the truth.
This year, I’ll be a 60-year-old lady, and typing that out seriously still freaks me out. How did I get here? Where did 60 years of my life go? Oooph!!!
How did being 50 years old or being 60 years old change you? Did you see things differently, too? Join the conversation and share your thoughts!
Without further ado …
What does a woman want most?
Seriously. What do we really want? This is a million-dollar question.
We want these things:
- honest and unconditional love
- honesty
- peace
- a drama-free life
- good hair days, every day (haha)
- solid friendships
- respect
- appreciation
- and the list goes on and on
What do women want in a relationship?
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Is that too much to ask for??
One of the things women love about being 50 is that we now have boundaries and a lot of self-respect and self-confidence. We don’t settle for less anymore. We know what we want, and we won’t settle for or put up with less.
We’ve gone through so much in life up to this point, and we are not interested in replaying all that drama and toxicity.
You could say we’ve matured!
Women love to hear that we’re loved, valued, appreciated, and so much more. The men they love must be perfect for them.
What is One Thing All Women Love?
Besides respect, I’d have to say that one thing all women love is honesty. We’re tired of lies and have no room in our lives for dishonesty. We’re tired of being cheated on, betrayed, and deceived.
So done with all that garbage!!!
