Why do you think her appearance is meant to attract sex partners or to fool ppl about her age?
That’s what I was gonna ask too.
Who the fuck cares how others are dressing?
An adult dressing like an adult feels completely appropriate to me.
Why do you think someone 80 should dress any differenty? 80 is not even that old. My mom is like 95 and dresses the same pretty much she did decades ago.
As far as makeup and nails, that often looks foolish at any age.
Putting in the effort to dress in the way one has come to think is appropriate for appearing in public is a form of self-care. For some people, from certain generations or cultures or who have adopted the habit to their identity, that may be more formal or elaborate than for others.
That a person of an advanced age, possibly suffering some mental decline still does this is a great thing, and very good for their well-being.
Even if someone was dressing younger to get attention I don’t really see a problem with it, but maybe I’m biased because I think everyone should be able to be slutty or promiscuous as long as they’re being ethical about it.
I don’t know if I have ever seen anyone talk this way about an old man’s clothing choices. Usually it’s only women who are held up to this cradle to grave scrutiny of our every move. When you say that she looks “ridiculous,” you’re channeling the full weight of a sexist and ageist culture.
If you saw an old man dressing flamboyantly, you’d smile quietly and go on with your day. You wouldn’t bother trying to analyze your reaction because you would barely have one. And there’s your answer.
