I believe I've been aging since I was a baby.  The reminders I'm hearing on QVC TV are coming fast & furious.  YES - I know I'm aging but do I have to hear the actual words every 2 minutes as I watch Josie Maran (potentially to order items)?

"Wrinkles - Dry - Gray - 50+ - Loose - Menopause - Look Older - Extra Hydrating -  Lines - Grandkids - Changes -  Crepey - More Lines & Wrinkles - Folds - Dried Out - More Wrinkles -  Lack of Sleep - Anti-Aging". OY.

We Get It. I LOVE most of Josie's products but she's really piling on the "old" terms.  I don't think she, or Amy,  is even 50 years old. 

I haven't seen this same "anti-aging" marketing push for Aging Men (well, gray hair & the V pill).

I am thankful to be aging.  Otherwise I would be under the grass.  I love my life, I love the blessings that are coming with my aging, and am thankful I have been blessed to see old age.

I have been diagnosed with wrinkles on my retina 👁️ 

That made me laugh at the eye appointment 🤭

Aren't we all, aging that is.  You don't have to hear it if you choose to watch something else or mute it.

A "wrinkly retina"? Say that five times fast. So what are the symptoms?

@CaliGold67  That's a really great point! I see commercials for Old Spice 3 in 1 bodywash, razors, and Cialis for men on tv. I see so many anti aging commercials for women on tv.  Why is all of the pressure put on women to fight our skin aging while men are encouraged to just let nature take it's course?  I want to see anti aging commercials for men on TV and in magazines

You missed my point.

Thank you for getting the point I was trying to make!  As always - women are being treated differently but in a very subtle way.  It's NOT equitable.

I'm sure marketing knows who to Market to. I don't think men are all that into anti-aging products and what works for women will mostly work for men.

No one is forcing you to buy any of it, no one is forcing you to leave the channel where it is, change it if you aren't liking what you see.
