it's as you said. I stopped caring after 21

Go USA!
I don't know what to answer you, I find it funny too. I'm in France and beauty standards for women can be quite high too, but I never see someone running around in pajamas or something. Only low tier men walk around looking like slobs.

i think a lot of older women struggle with feeling ugly

>most make no attempt at doing anything with their hair (including brushing it)

This may sound weird, but why would you brush your hair anyway? It never did anything for me, even when I had long hair. It doesn't make it shinier or straighter, it doesn't "massage your scalp" as some like to claim. Genuinely asking here, what's the point of brushing your hair.

Where the fuck do you live that people do their grocery shopping in pajamas, what the fuck?

To brush out the knots and tangles, keep it from tangling (further) and make it neat and presentable. If your bedhair looks the same as your brushed hair you've got magic silk strands.

Well it sorta does now because it's short, but back when I had hair that went down to my belly button, I never once brushed and it was fine. Maybe it has to do with me having ultra thin hair (seriously, it was fucking annoying).

Ive done it. Im in the US. I just feel like there’s no point in trying. I don’t care about looking attractive to anyone in the grocery store

Story short: I used to be a try hard. It sucked and was demoralizing. I also have a morbidly obese friend who is 10x more attractive than me. So. Yeaaaah.

I still workout and take care of my hair and skin. I also dress in what I like.
But it always blew up in my face when I doll myself up, feel confident, and then realized the truth (or was insulted as being ugly or a "tranny"). Felt wrong and forced.
It just felt better to not care or put in that much effort. I also want to look ok at my worst.

As for ugly people with potential…I mean, that's the nature of issues with oneself. Not everyone overcorrects to oblivion. Some find it hopeless. It's like how not everyone with body issues becomes anorexic.

And of course past a certain age it doesn't matter what you do. Stacies report hitting around 30 and (whether or not they got fat) being treated much worse.
A lot of people end up dropping the ball. It's bad when it entails losing one's health but otherwise I can't really blame someone for not wanting to wear makeup and etc. anymore.

it's totally normal to look like an escaped mental patient when grocery shopping in the US

Walking around the grocery store in my PJs after dark for junk food has become a hobby of mine

Oldfag here, at the ripe ol age of 30+ I can safely say I just don't care as much. I still take care of myself and don't always look like a bag of smashed asshole. Honestly tho my outward appearance has taken a backseat to more important things in my life. Like not spending extra time on a lot on picking a super nice outfit or going all out with my hair.

I have had two jobs at grocery stores, one at an upscale one and the other at Aldi which is known for being cheap. The difference in women's effort in their appearance was night and day (and even moids' tbf)

Lack of energy. Women are basically slaves to their families and jobs. Plus society is telling them they are ugly no matter what they do.

Yep, you slowly stop caring about that shit when there's other pressing matters in your life. At the very least, bodily self-care and looking presentable in public is important to me at least
