What’s fun and inspiring about following a crazy diet and hooking up with interchangeable putzes?
Oh, look!!
A cute, hip new term to try mingle into a social class another group of people! And yet another group of people who need to be socialized because they feel themselves lurking at the fringes of society.
How collectivist!
I know some single women over 50 who remained single by choice and who remained childless by abortion. Not the kind of people I like to hang around with. No shortage of insults for “breeders” and most need slings to carry their arms after they throw their shoulders out patting themselves on the back.
Fifty and over is not middle aged. Good job on being single, independent, drinking wine, exercising, and, possibly, for owning lots of cats. But, these are not middle-aged women.
I really wonder what the true intent of the article is.
And don't forget the "family resemblance".
After their plastic surgeries, they all look like sisters!
You have women who were uninterested in the men willing to love them back when they were young. They are now older and telling themselves they don’t need a man. They will likely die alone.
I’ll see your “SWOFTY” and raise you some truth: 50+ and childless = Darwin Award.
We’ll see how they like being a SWOS (Single Woman Over Seventy).
Old age is a bitch when you are alone.
old sluts. I guess they wanted an acronym too
Although not quite fifty, I have pursuits that'd terrify a young gal with lots of confidence and energy. The things I am pursuing as an older, married woman would have been outlawed for 'older, married gals' in the old days. But with a solid mate that has his own life and belief in God and all that He has given, I am making Him proud (or at least trying to).
It isn't over until it's over ladies and gentlemen :-D. God is large and in charge and doesn't care about society's definition of age. We all were put here for a reason and it doesn't stop when we get older.
Most all the women listed DO have children. Many of the kids are grown and have moved on to their own lives. As it should be. As God intended.
SWOFTY = Losers
You are right on the money! Literally. As much of what they mentioned takes both money and time. Having said that I am sure a woman who does eat well and can find more inexpensive versions of these pursuits (like a road trip to Taos NM and an inexpensive massage when they get there could be a nice substitute.) Also eating healthfully and self care does not have to cost much. One can walk, jog, cycle, do body weight exercises at home and meditate and pray. All of which have miraculous results in one's beauty no matter how much money or physical gifts given by God.
I do believe there can be a working Mom's and wife's version of this that can enhance an older woman's engagement in her world and make her family proud.
No husband or child wants a fat, self consumed, spiritually dead wife or Mom. (Unless of course the hubby is himself these things) Taking life by the horns as an older woman can inspire not only the children, but the hubby as well.

A separate survey found that 600,000 older women in the UK - a mixture of widows, divorcees and singletons - are opting for the single life. And according to Isme.com, a third of these women were enjoying their freedom so much, they were unlikely to settle down again.
