I like your approach. I get what you're saying about looking young. I was often disrespected and treated as less competent when I practiced law because of how I looked.

You're spot on about the unwanted attention. It's the bane of my existence, and it's creepy and weird. To be perfectly honest, it was a story I wrote about unwanted male attention that prompted this story. Or rather, it was a comment from someone on the story challenging me to consider whether I'd be upset when the attention finally goes away. Short answer, no. Call me "M'am," give me a senior discount, I'm okay. LOL But it did make me think deeply about the question and this was the result.
