The article is concerned with the self-assessment of the attractiveness of their bodies by widowed women in late adulthood. The psychosocial aspects of old women’s widowhood and the mechanisms that are shaping and maintaining their subjective attractiveness of the body are presented. 134 widows between 61 and 78 years old participated in the research. They were not in new formal or informal relationship with a man. In the presented research, the BES S.L. Franzoi and S.A. Shields test was used to examine a body image. The obtained results in the fitness scale indicate that the respondents (despite the lowered overall level of satisfaction in this scale) find the greatest satisfaction in their health, coordination, muscle strength and agility, while they are least satisfied with reflex or biceps. The results of research on satisfaction with body weight show (taking into account the generally lowered satisfaction) that respondents perceive and evaluate their weight mostly on the basis of the shape of their waist and whole figure, but are not satisfied with their appetite and thighs. Some widows are satisfied with their pretty face. The results show that the subjective assessment of the attractiveness of the widows’ body stems mostly from a sense of sexual attractiveness.
