Usually when someone says frumpy, sleezy, matronly, cheap, they're usually jealous. However, sometimes the words fit and it has nothing to do with age.....

Jealous of what, pray tell? It' not usually a compliment, so it's not like the observer is jealous of her fashion choices.

Maybe not jealous, more like snarky. Many times for whatever reason....you know like the people on these boards who make snarky remarks about the hosts.... it's just one persons opinion and the person they are referring to doesn't look frumpy, matronly, etc.
