Dear LFTP: the 65-year-old woman who wants more than looks
- How can a 65-year-old woman get men to appreciate her intellect and personality rather than just her looks?
The reader reads a Dear LFTP letter from 'Jane Mansfield,' a 65-year-old woman who says men only compliment her beauty and she wants to be admired for her intellect and personality. The hosts advise: attraction is just how a stranger first notices you — cut the suitors slack, give them time to know your mind (or stop dating the vapid ones), try pictureless online dating, or (jokingly) date a blind man. The secular answer agrees: cut the would-be suitors some slack and appreciate the blessing.
