You have completely misunderstood my point. You are not even asnwering my question yet saying so much.
My understanding of your post was that being old = ugly? So my question was simple, do you actually view all old people as "ugly" species?
What you have mistakenly tagged as inherent fear is actually my disgust at this utterly disrespectful and truly "ugly" attitude!
As far as I'm concerned, I'm really looking forward to gracefully aging, of course I want to grow old. I believe its a blessing, its part of life, its part of nature! I fear the fragility of old age not the bloody wrinkles on my face. As with keeping up the romantic context of this thread, there's nothing more beautiful in the world than growing old with the person you love, I've seen couples who are more in love and peace with each other in their 60's than they were when they were in their 20's/30s. My 50 year old aunt is still the most beautiful person in the eyes of my 50 something year old uncle.
'ugly' used here is not in the literal sense obviously. Let's take it this way when 'we are old and not so pretty/beautiful/gorgeous anymore', that might make some sense.

I hope this is the case, though I know such attitude actively exit in our community, unfortunately. Its as bad as calling someone ugly because of skin colour.
I guess I know some beautiful and graceful agers who literally personify the 'old wine' example, and really in my opinion youth does not equal beauty/gorgeousness. I know plenty of all young but not so pretty faces and personalities.
Besides I don't think person you truly love can ever become ugly and worthy of dumping in your eyes no matter how old, fat, thin he/she becomes, these are all natural occurrences and procedures.
Anyone old around you has to be taken as ugly, theek.
No, because i am not romantically involved with my grandmother, parents, or my parents in law. Would you marry a 70 year woman? No.. I am only intimate with my husband and he is my age and we will GROW old TOGETHER.. If we find each other unattractive when we are 70, I don't think either one of us would complain. It's only natural to feel that way but doesn't mean we will love each other any less.

For the last part, yes. I see no reason why I would not be romantically pleased with someone who's unpleasant to anyones eye. I didn't say "we" there because I do not feel I have the right to call another individual or Muslim for that matter ugly. Irrelevant if they were born with defects or ended up defecting themselves in real life.
There was a girl in school who as you'd say was not so very pleasant to the eye. But once a batch of the school crew got to know her better, she was no longer the unpleasant looking one, instead became the center of attention in most cases.

duh' really? Obviously unpleasant to look at FOR the individual.
Can u plz elaborate females losing their beauty because of thyroid issues? how thyroid effects?
hypothyroidism can lead to hoarseness of voice, a yellowish sallow complexion, coarsening of features, loss of hair and ofcourse weight gain too ! it's just not thyroid problems. People in the middle age at times suffer from many other health issues that could lead to ruining their complexion, weight etc.
