You've got a lot of years to go before you qualify for "dirty old women" status, but I can definitely identify with the Appreciation Syndrome!!! (My own label for the phenomenon.) IMHO: _ As married women, we try to consult the mirror and the weight scale and do what we can to negate the passsage of time. (Sometimes, that "passage" seems to have taken place while it was using golf shoes with cleats!) - Married men seem to have the ability to ignore the two (especially the weight scale) and relax into the security and comfort of being married. Don't get me wrong - I realize there are many women who simply quit caring about how they look once they're married:-) In some ways, I suppose I even belong in that catagory. Before I retired, his first 'sighting' in the evening was likely to be me in a skirt & blouse, dress or business-casual pants outfit. Now, it's likely to be shorts & t-shirt! I haven't quit caring, but "dressing up/refreshing the make-up/greeting husband with a martini" is just too much like the advice given to my mother and grandmother! Long live young, slender repairmen on a hot day!!!!!! Hehe!
