Yup, I've experienced that. I fit the age and gender criteria (unfortunately). It's dependent on where I am but I'm definitely extremely invisible at work.

I'm currently contracting again (been there four months this time) in a mammoth open-plan office which is mainly staffed by people in their late twenties, early thirties. The people I actually deal with on a regular basis are OK but a lot of the others are downright rude. They never make eye-contact, they look away if they do happen to catch my eye and they wouldn't speak in a million years. And these are people who've seen me every day for four months :eek:. And the women are much worse than the blokes.

And I never wear beige ;). I'm one of the few people in the place who wears colours - most of the girls wear ghastly, dreary black outfits day in, day out..

A mate who is about 50 tells me that you come invisible - people don't see you any more - at a certain age...(around middle age - he is very philosophical and positive about it).

He tells me that it can be particularly stressing for women.

Never thought about it! Anyone understand, or have first-hand experience of this or even commit the crime without realising?

I dont feel invisible, Im nearly 43 but dont feel invisible - yet.

I get invited out by my work pals and am seen as 'one of the gang'. I think I sort of blend in really as although I dont stand out, I am not invisible but I know how to have a laugh and enjoy myself so perhaps people see that instead.:confused:

No matter how old I am, I will always try and take care of myself, get my hair done etc. But invisibility I suspect could pounce at any time at my age.
