Why do women morph into the EXACT same androgynous old lady when they age?

That's kind of depressing, but very accurate.

Look at the image first.

from "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Robert Heinlein

“Anyone can see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl she used to be. A great artist can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is . . . and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be . . . more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo see that this lovely young girl is still alive, prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart . . . no matter what the merciless hours have done. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me—but it does to them. Look at her!”

Jubal responds after Ben's comment about displaying the Rodin bronze "Old Woman" AKA "Celle qui fut la belle heaulmière"

“You know I wouldn't be rude to the old woman who posed for that. What I can't understand is a so-called artist having the gall to pose somebody's great grandmother in her skin . . . and you having the bad taste to want it around . . . ”

She'll morph into an androgynous old lady clone sooner than you think. Life happens in the blink of an eye.

And the same for men; don't think you're safe from the ravage of time.

Yeah but old men still sort of look like men.

Women actually morph into men as they age. They completely lose their sexuality.

Men morph into sweaty, greasy mounds of fat.

There's no sexuality in that.

And nose and ear hair. Don't forget about that. Crazy ass eyebrows too.

Old ladies get chin hairs.

Ummmmmmm, ever heard of men-opause?

The thing is when guys get older they all start to look like Sean Connery and the thing with women is when they get older they start to look like Sean Connery.

well done wineturtle, well done

But she can make some pretty awesome cookies, so who the hell cares what she has morphed into.

Men don't end up with dozens of cats. Once the cat collecting begins, it's only a matter of time before she jumps off the divingboard.

In the hierarchy of not-so-sexy, greasy mounds of fat will always beat out crazy.

Tightly curled blue hair.

Crazy pale white skin.

Weak wimpery voice.

Interested in boring shit (I guess all the cool people live fast and die young).

They look and act all the same. They're all like...wraaaaaa wrababababa wraa wraa wraa wrabababa...especially when they gather in groups. And you can't tell a damn one apart from the other.

And to think, these women were once vivacious and full of vigor, varying wildly in style and in looks, but now...they are just the same old women clone.

I guess in the end we all decompose into bones and dust and then further

into atoms that do not hold the past features of our brilliant youth.

Why do I think you just vaguely found out the meaning of the word androgynous today ?

? Crazy dude, not true.

Anyone who has a filthy disgusting cat is crossed off immediately.
