50 Is A Dangerous Age For A Woman?

who say its dangerous for women beaing 50 ? hah? you know my friend's grand mother are 95 and more but she can run behind a bus more faster than me LOL when we did a race in past and difintly i loss in that race so 50 mean danger is not true its depend on past life and health and food, meditation and manything more...

NEver thought of it that way . But for men always looking for something younger. Myself I alwaays lived very independent and did most of anything I wanted to do and I still do. WOuldnt have ever thuoght og getting away from family at 50. Still dont at 69 . Have had no midlife break down. Most times I think people put it in thier head that we are to stop living at that age . HEck NO you forge ahead and live life to the fullest!

GOOD MORNING ZANDI, I had no problem when i tuened 50, thanks heavens. i did feel sort of ancient & couldn't believe i was 50 years old but i was already on my own, my children were at a good age, i was working trying to make a living fot myself & the one son i still had at home so didn't really have time nor desire to worry about it. i think people put too much emphasis on age , change of life etc. it is what it is.

Hi zandi, I feel this is an exceptional case that women start all new life of their own as they reach fifty. The hormonal imbalanced at this age does change the behaviour of the women but going a rebel sort of is not so natural. I have not seen too many or many women to break away from the family as they are reborn with restlessness in their sweet fifty. As I know women show abnormality as they reach their menopause but that is a temporary phase and things finally settle to normalcy.

Hello,first ,i wanna say that your music is wonderful,i enjoy it so much.Then i wanna say i am too young to discuss the topic ,but i found you are too nervous to face the comming age.It is not necessary to be so nervous.you know, as my age many of my eldership have been older than 50 years,but they don't seem terrible at all.Naturally ,the older the worse the health will be.Lastly,wish you stay good heath all the time.

U are 99 percent correct,, the other 1 percent is that we still need each other on many occasions and in many ways, The people I have met in such situations,, do appear happy,,but also have days when they appear to be as if there is no life in the body,, personnlly I wish u all the best,, wise girl

There's men that go through the same thing...they call it a mid-life crisis. He suddenly chucks the old wife and marries a 19 year old halfwit, starts dressing like he's in high school again and parties like theirs no tomorrow. I think it's more the person then the age though. I also think that when someones gotten married at a younger age, after so many years of raising kids and cooking meals they start wondering what they've missed. Their stuck in a rut and wanting a change. I didn't get married this time till I was like 35 so I had plenty of years of freedom and independence...it's kind of nice to have some stability and security in my life now. Ppl thinking about changing their lives need to remember that change isn't always good. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hi. I think it is to do with the up and downs in our life more then a specific age. If there is something happening in one's life all the time, that keeps the person involved and occupied then at any stage of it, they won't feel 'bored' and if there is nothing happening, then it turns boring. At that stage, I think it is the responsibility of the family and children to provide them what they need.

No i dont. I was a single mother. Im 53 now. Im still single and i love it. I didnt feel all that stuff. All i ever had was night sweats. Sometimes still do. So i dont even know if i done changed already or not or even when it started. I never had all those hormone problems. Or emotional problems either. I had night sweats before and after my final period. Dont miss that part either. Especially. I still have men friends. They say for some reason its important to remain sexually active. So ok i will. I do believe that 50 is the beginning of middle age. Although my life is a whole world different that it was when my children were at home. Its still a wonderful world to me. I have grandchildren now. Except for a few aching joints i dont feel much different that i did at 20, 30, or 40. Im excited to see what the future brings next. Its like "when one door is closed, another is open."

My children are reaching 50 and it is effecting them in many of the ways you mention. One of them has decided that she wants fun in her live and is living what I would call a loose life, I do worry for her mental and physical health, but understand each must make their own choices in life.

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji, You are very much right, I remmeber my time just 15 yrs back. Also, a big change is expected from nature's side at this age. I remember, whenever, we went to play 'TAMBOLA', they shouted, "WOMAN GET NAUGHTY , AT THE AGE FORTY' for striking out '40'. So I think, you too have to be careful. May God bless You and have a great time.

Fifty dangers or not? Hello there, I wouldn't say that fifty is a dangerous age. I would however say that it is a time where life becomes more meaningful because one knows that there end is just that much closer than it was 50 years ago. A person will begin to look within more and they begin to try to look at their accomplishments in fifty years. Like had the children, went to college, got married etc. Hopefully the hormones don't rage too much which will cause them to make poor and faulty decisions.Happy Mylotting!

hi zandi. it may be a matter of hormonic change which throws a femal to mental fustration. but there are many legends who have done some activities crossing 50. if we think positivly that we have gained 50 years's experiences and now it is time to distribute it to my fellows, then it's normal. positive thinking is the best medicine for every mental deseases. thanks.

Speaking as someone who has passed the 50 mark by 10 years, I don't think that turning 40, 50 or any landmark age necessarily brings on discontentment with one's life. If you are in a loving and caring relationship/marriage turning any particular age doesnt' set off a switch where you automatically change how you feel. I think that there are many men and women that at the ages of 40, 50 etc tend to look back on their lives and sometimes regret the things they have not done or goals they have not achieved, but for the most part, I don't think they abandon their spouses and children to go after them. If someone has left a stable relationship, especially, I don't believe that age is playing the major role in the decision to abandon it. There is more to it than that. I don't think that a woman's hormonal changes effect anything more than body changes such as heat flashes, being irritable etc which can be a strain on both the man and woman. The woman for having to go through it and the man for having to deal with her up and down mood swings. Besides, many women after turning 50 and having raised their children, take advantage of not having the ties that bind, so to speak, and go after an unfullfilled edcuation, profession etc, but do so without abandoning her family.

I had no problems turning 50 at all. Nothing has changed except my age every year but I still feel the same as I did before and I still do the same things too with even more freedom because my son is now grown-up and married. No meals to cook unless I want to and more or less I can do things when I want without having to consider others and get home at a certain time like when he was smaller. One day I will have grandchildren I hope and then I will be available for them but for the time being I am enjoying this new found freedom and this decade is definately giving me more than those of the past on many fronts. I have no health problems so I am aware that I am lucky but I am not bothered at all about being in my fifties and I'm looking forward to the next decade too!

Unfortunately, I have had some negative career changes since age of 50, but have started back into school to begin AGAIN. My son , who is 20 is still at home, so have not felt the "empty nest" although, he certainly needs me MUCH less! My husband has been FANTASTIC support for ALL things I do, and I would never be able to do half of what I try to accomplish without his support and praise. So... I am going nowhere!. I do however, find myself missing that youthful skin, body, etc. But, on the other hand, I guess I earned each wrinkle and they all stand for something. At least I have NO grey hair!! LOL!We cannot stop the years from coming so we may as well face them head on best we can, and keep on keepin' on.

Well, my dad had his midlife crisis at age 40. He went off the deep end and started going out and partying like he was a teenager or something. My mom divorced my dad over it. She is 44 now. I don't think I could see her having a midlife crisis, not a heavy one or anything. She is very even keel and she knows what she wants out of life. If she ever were to have one, I'd say that brief phase where she panicked about being a grandma at 37 and started wearing my little sisters' clothes would be her 'midlife crisis' Haha. She is so weird, but I love her!

I see 50 not as a breaking point,but an exciting point for me.I know at that age I won't be able to bear children anymore,so I'll just focus my attention on my husband,my elder kids,and my business/career.being old doesn't mean that you're brittle and needy.being old means you're wiser.by that time,I have learned a lot of lessons about life.

Might be true because this age is quite time to have also understanding with someone else. Others got easily angry with no fair causes. Hot temper and hard to get and understand . They said that this age start to have care also like a child. They wanted the attention for everyone and if not notice easily back out and regrets. Not all but I know some of it woman ages 50 above.

I think as women we should embrace every stage of our lives. I think alot has to do with when we get married, when we have children, when our career begins or ends. We have to listen to our bodies and know the differences in them in all these stages. I know I have several girlfriends in their 50's and they are having the times of their lives. One is married and one single. But they are well adjusted, capable women who are embracing their age. We all have successes and failures along the way, it's all in how we handle them. I think we become of an age after being married and having the children raised, that we fill like we can have our life back. That is a normal feeling. Myself, 44, two boys 20 & 22, was married for 18 years (married at the age of 18), now divorced and living alone. Loving my life. Did I give up my younger life for marriage and children, absolutely. But now I feel young enough to do what I want to do and feel I have made mistakes along the way but have had a great life. I am in perimenopause right now and definitely feel body changes. But it is just another stage. Embrace your stages!! Now that you know my life! LOL
