Pam, 51, is a divorced sales manager with\u00a0a 16 year-old son.<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cWhen I was 20, people aged 50 and up seemed old to me but\u00a0today, I am 51! I am not afraid of aging, as I know that I can\u2019t do anything about it.<\/strong> I prefer to channel my energy to doing something else. I have never felt better;\u00a0I have acquired a certain maturity, I no longer have a complex about my physical appearance. I don\u2019t want to be 10 years younger! But I do not find myself fitting into the image of the 50 year-old woman. When people talk about 'senior', I do not feel concerned, I feel younger. Except at work, when I deal with some customers or with this marketing director who is around\u00a025 years old. I didn\u2019t notice it on the telephone, but when I saw him, I was surprised by his youth. I felt that he saw me as an old woman.<\/p>

As a result, I felt outdated! But very quickly this feeling disappeared. I am an experienced woman and people listen to me. The thing that worries me is that this gap is only going to get bigger; I have to work for another 15 years. Besides, at work, I do not meet many women of my age. My team consists mainly of young people, but I find working with them more rewarding. They teach me many things, particularly the Internet. In return, I bring them my experience. I help them put issues in perspective. Recently\u00a0I told them laughingly,\u00a0\u2018I would have swallowed my dentures!\u2019 and they really believed that I wore them!\u201d<\/p>

Testimony: \u201cA 40 year-old woman is mature, confident; the opposite of who I am.\u201d<\/a><\/p>

Testimony: \u201cNow that my children are adults, I live as if I am 30.\u201d<\/a><\/p>

Expert\u2019s opinion: \u201cWe retain a youth that others do not want to see.\u201d<\/a><\/p>

Growing older: Do you feel younger than your age?\u00a0<\/a><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
