be tough as in don't let others put you down but be able to accept criticism and own up to your mistakes while still staying on track. having an agenda that actually improves things for others is super cool, but don't get holier than thou about it. it's totally okay to be tough and bear the consequences if you can live with it and stay human.
also take care of yourself and do what you enjoy.
some of the older women I met who were like this usually wore some sort of elegant, distinctive and slightly extravagant, but never over the top kind of uniform. the other owned and ran two pleb-businesses, so that doesn't apply to her, but she too: tough af not taking any unsollicited bs while still taking care of others.

Eventually you die a kodokushi having been insanely lonely from age 40-70. It begins at 30 when single friends start dissappearing. By 40 what are you even doing with yourself? What are you going to do, go get drunk at a wine bar? Travel alone? Call your married friends and attempt to be their kids friend-aunt? Absolutely terrifying. My mother-in-law would have killed herself with pills and alcohol by now if she didn't have kids and grandkids to visit her. She's 66 and dating has been over and off the table for her for many years.
>>18038962
Black people have had their families absolutely devastated by government policies incentivizing the destruction of their families. From single mother welfare to the injection of crack and drug incarnation scheduling to poor policing to poor public schooling. Any of them that get married and support each other and don't destroy their kids childhoods, psyche, and future are commendable.

37 year old guy here, so I've got a lot of female friends pushing middle age. First of all I'd give up on "cool," we don't really get to be cool at our age, at least not in the way we were when we were young, and trying to cling onto that just ends up coming off as pathetic. Cool past 35 is really more down to attitude than appearance.

Beyond that, fitness is everything. I'm not talking about a rock hard gym body but the older you get the less you can pull off being overweight. Being skinny can make a 40 year old hotter than a lot of 25 year olds, but you can't pull off being a bit chubby like a younger girl who's still got the youthful cute thing going on can.

As for style, IMO simple but feminine and relatively conservative is the way to go. I know girls my age who still look really good in a skater dress or a basic miniskirt with a nice top. Outdoorsy stuff can work too as other people have pointed out, and if you live in the right place so can the country girl look. As for hair just avoid anything crazy, nothing buzzed or shaved and no full wild colors, colored highlights on otherwise natural hair can be nice though. I have a friend who's a year or two older than me and basically fits what I just described, and she's still one of the most attractive girls I know, I'm generally into younger women but I'd be all over her if she weren't married. (Incidentally she also told me the same thing once, which made our whole relationship awkward since I'm friends with her husband too, but that's a whole different sotry.)
