Fear of aging


Unfortunately, the cultural imperative, suggesting that the way we look, defines our worth to ourselves, our men, our world makes women so sensitive to the physical signs of aging.
So it? Yes, like that. Despite the fact that women have settled in operating, driving a car, in hotels, psychologists have found that most women still believe that their value is determined by how they look, not what they can do.
"Women tend to equate beauty and sexuality, says Laura Barbanel, doctor of pedagogical sciences, professor and director of graduate studies at the school of psychology at Brooklyn College, New York University Iorkskogo. Perhaps it is an extension of the old equation of "if ... then ...", ie if aging reduces our beauty, it also reduces our sex appeal. If we look less sexy, we can not attract partners. If we do not engage partners, we can not have children. If we have children, we do not carry out its mission. If we do not carry out its mission, from us no good. What is the logic? Is it all worth women lies in its ability to give birth?
Of course not. But the fear of aging is rooted precisely in such views, "concludes Dr. Barbanel. For a woman, how to formulate one of her colleagues, aging is not more than "a humiliating process of sexual disqualification".
EFFECT Jane Fonda
The situation is complicated by the fact that now, in 90 years, we have the opportunity to delay at least obvious signs of aging. Exercise can strengthen the flabby thighs, exercises can tighten sagging stomach skin tightening around the eyes allows you to get rid of bags under the eyes, wetting agents improve the state of the leg skin. There is no doubt that we are 40 years old does not look right, we looked like our mother.
"Ironically, says Dr. Gergen, our ability to look young in fact reinforces the myth in his mature years that a woman is so good, how good it looks." This effect is called Jane Fonda.
"The problem is, she explains that, if Jane can look great in 44 or 54 years, we believe that should also look good. And soon it turns into a different cultural setting. It is waiting for our society, that we expect from ourselves. This setup takes possession of the minds, creates a contradictory situation, the differences between age groups are smoothed and blurred, and at the same time, we continue to believe that a woman with wrinkles on the face, spots on the hands and graying hair loses its appeal or, at least, part of the his "I". But in reality, the opposite should occur. Mid-life can be a time of tremendous spiritual growth, because at this time we look at ourselves in the mirror and think, "What have I done with my life?", "What am I going to do in the remaining years?"
