----I began dressing at age 50+. My legs and figure looked young back then and I'm even slimmer now. But, I HATE seeing a 70+ year old man's face on my attractive, young woman's body!
Now, u!

U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I am fat and unfortunately medical problems prevent me from losing too much weight. But big gurls can dress to pass also!!!!
Yea and at 70 you'll really hate the difference between the body all dressed up and the face. I have also been trying to apply makeup cleverly enough to minimize the look of my 70 some years.

I am in a similar boat. I am over 70, over weight, and have mobility problems. a trifecta I guess.
But I still dress around the house, and love every minuet of it. And with the Lock down, more dressing time.

For me, it’s my belly. I need to lose a few pounds to fit into some of my cuter outfits. But I think by far my biggest issue is my facial and body hair. If I don’t shave head to toe every single day, I don’t feel comfortable.
I had foot surgery a few years ago and can no longer wear the heels I love so much.
Just wish I could slip into a nice pair of 4" stilettos again and show off my long legs.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I'm approaching 70 and my wrinkles show it but my worst feature has always been my love handles. I wish I could figure out a way to lower them about 8" and then they would be a nice ass-et. Even when I was 40# lighter, walking a lot and exercising them they still stood out. But it is what it is, I'm just happy that I have come to terms with the feminine part of me.
Yep a few pounds off would be good. As for age, I know many women over 70 who remain fit, well and can still go out socially and look attractive.
So in my mid sixties there's hope for me yet.
I always wanted to do bangs but I don't have enough left to do that with my own hair. Could be a lot worse though, as my long hair is still quite feminine for anyone in their 50s.

Doc, Don't we all. I hate my fat face, but I'm attempting to loose weight so that it looks a little better.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
To me the solution is to not try and look like a young woman, but rather to look like one of the very attractive older women that are out there. Look around. There are some real beauties out there.
Like Joan Rivers?… rather to look like one of the very attractive older women that are out there.

Age and wrinkles are unpleasant realities even for those that don't cross dress. When I was young I had the face, long hair and body but I didn't have any clothes!
I came to that conclusion last year and managed to lose 20 pounds but I need to lose a little more. I also got tired of my fat belly!I hate my fat face

Welcome to the Club. Getting old sucks and it doesn?t get better, but it sure beats the alternative.
As long as I look female I’m happy. Even if it’s ugly female.
60 years old, slightly over weight, beard and mustache. I can get the neck down to look pretty good. The neck up is beyond help!

I like to dress but I'm not completely happy with my look, because ...
As a closeted dresser I have little time to watch and then apply lessons I glimpse about getting makeup right. I can't spend time watching videos let alone practicing because my SO could appear in my computer area at any time unannounced. I am getting better very very slowly, I am at least past clown face now, but the delicate intricacies of well done makeup elude me to this day.
Closeted for 45 years, so please take any advice I might offer with a massive dose of reality.

I can definitely see the change over the past few years, especially in the face. At 65 i've managed to keep my shape but the face does take more work. To be fair the same thing happens to GG's so we are not alone. As for the aging process, i'll take that rather than the alternative.
I'm 72. I don't hate my male body. I've gained a few pounds since my ideal military weight. The additional weight has been distributed evenly. My legs do have spider veins, but, nothing like varicose veins I've seen on others. Hosiery covers that up. My skin tone is nothing like in my youth. It's an odd situation as far as my arms go. I was caught in an explosion which engulfed my exposed skin. It wasn't too bad until later in life. The scar tissue does not tan so my skin has a mottled look now. The forearm hair hides its ugliness. The same happen with my face.
I just face this aging process with the thought I made it to 72. There is no guarantee for anyone else in my family making it to that age, is there? If my genetic code prevails and COVID-19 does not get me I should check out somewhere between 83 and 103. I should really have an aged grandma look then. Then, if I have some stubble above the lip I'll fit in with a lot of other aging GG's.
Yes, getting old may "suck" but what's the alternative.
Mentally I do not feel like an aged older woman. I sort of throw myself into the middle age category....pretty knee length dress and moderate high heels.
Well...you can always reduce wrinkles with face tape.

You can start with a couple rubber bands and Scotch tape. Just to learn.
And be sure to take advantage of the principle of distraction. Really beautiful hair helps to hide an aging face. Likewise a really great dress. And maybe really big earrings. Outrageous heels?
