Summary

This quote suggests that women who were previously attractive may often struggle with acknowledging the changes in their physical appearance as they age. It highlights the tendency of such women to hold on to their sense of beauty, leading them to overlook or deny the fact that they are no longer as attractive as they once were. This can be seen as a common flaw, implying that it takes a level of self-awareness to accept the inevitable changes that come with aging.
