I was blessing a kneeling acolyte when a realization dawned on me: Women do not age well.
Ok, so we all put on some weight as we age.
Naturally, when people grow old, they tend to put on weight.
(They lose hair too.)
Ever been to a school reunion?
Ever notice how that sexy babe who was every schoolboy’s wet dream in school now looks like a fat cow at the reunion?
Nature seems particularly unkind to women as they age.
As they age, they all turn into Jabba the Hutt.
Their faces become larger, lumpy even, and their waist looks like that of Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Ah the ravages of time.
No one can escape it.
Men are not spared.
Most tend to age better than women.
A little salt and pepper color on their hair can make them look kinda dignified, ahem… (speaking for myself lah.)
But not all.
