What do I mean by over? Because that woman who I said looked "over the hill" at 50 is now with a new man and very happy at 60. I just mean that we are no longer "hot" in our 50's. We can still meet single men. But sitting on a barstool with the singles set, we are no longer the ones to draw the eyes of the handsomest men in the room. No longer do we just "look good". Now we "look good for our age". So, no, it's not time to reserve a room at the assisted living center. But nor is it the time to go it alone on the singles market if you have another choice.
I don't remember which comedian said it, but it is true. There are 3 stages to a woman's life -- baby, babe, and bubba. In my opinion, if a woman hasn't gotten there already, then somewhere between 50 and 55, she moves into the "bubba" stage. And Steady is right, some women are there long before 50.
