You are probably right, Nina, but the HR concerns quite likely are exaggerated by the current uproar about these things, whether we agree with them, or not.
Personally, I think you, and anyone like you are great and I think it's a shame that you have to worry about what other people's reactions might be. I remember surprising my twenty-sum year old granddaughter, who is a nurse, a couple of years ago during a discussion about beauty pageants, when I remarked for all to hear that I would rather see women naked. My dad was also always surprised when I wasn't interested in the televised beauty pageants-Miss America, Miss Universe, etc. I didn't, and don't, care for all the fluff. Beauty pageants were originally girls in swim suits showing off their good looks and nothing else. I understand modesty and girls wanting to play up their best points, but take off the swim suits to see their true glory.
While my wife really was great looking, naked as well a clothed, when we were younger, things gradually changed as we went past middle age. After that I used to tell her how she could still catch men's eyes, and she occasionally still does, but it all came undone when she took her clothes off. She is beyond that, now, and has settled into being a dumpy old lady who still has a little bit of youth left in her face. Time and neglect are taking their toll. I'm not much better. Too bad we can't be like those remarkable few who somehow stay well preserved and younger appearing, even in their seventies. I am still quite young mentally, but the years are catching up, with the help of some injuries during the last ten years.
On the other hand, if I should happen to out-live my wife and get together with a gal who is still a hot momma, things might star to roll, again. You never know.
