Pretty much all of my friends met and got married in their early to mid-30s. Pretty typical. Iwas the anomaly for marrying my college boyfriend when I was 24. |
We are talking about elite professional athletes here. Not the average DCUM schmuck. |
Agreed! What is more is why she would not leave her husband and just move on with her life. |
Not good for kids |
Looks matter to most men and women are on a downward path in terms of looks after a certain age which compounds their difficulty in finding a suitable guy.
Don't want for this to come across the wrong way but white women show their age sooner than darker skinned women. It is more than likely the effect of the sun but it really takes a toll in terms of how they look older than their age. |
Even still, this is not representative of most men's reality. We all know kids are gorgeous, but most men want a true partner in life, not just arm candy. |
60% of marriages in the developed world are with women over age 29. this is easy to find info. the thing you should ask your guy friends is why do they chicken out on their smart, beautiful girlfriends in their 20s and then marry whomever they happen to be dating when they magically turn 30. what's up with that? you just tell yourself you're not getting married no matter what and then VIOLA, Oh, I'm 30 now, the boyz told me to get married. TA DAH! |
Whatever. If I am a 40 year old woman dating men of similar ages then age has greeted all of us and is a non-issue. Only youth-obsessed weirdos think in terms of "downward path." |
Seriously. Plus, if you really feel the need to generalize about all women and tear other people down to make yourself feel better, I’m not so sure how far up the path you were to begin with. There a lot of incredibly sexy over-30 women in terms of both looks and the confidence that comes with life experience. The “men” making these statements about spoiled milk are an actual bunch of losers. |
I married at 39, had #1 at 40, and expecting #2 at 41. All conceived via "good ole way." There is no such thing as AMA. If you're healthy, you can have children after 40. There are plenty of men to date in your late 30s if you live in the D.C. area. I was never short of suitors at 39. |
So stupid. Of course there are plenty of success stories, but ignore basic facts of biology at your own peril. |
Your men friends are jerks. Women over 30, or any age, are not damaged goods.
Also, please proofread your writing before sending. Men aren't impressed by garbled syntax. |
OMG, this is such bullshit. I see more attractive over-50 women than men. Take your time, op. Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders. And my mom at 69 had a 29 year old "friend" who was in love with her. Stay away from narrow-minded misogynists and you'll be fine. The PP above probably hasn't experienced the sex drive of a woman in her 30s/40s. |
Your mom sounds awesome!! |
It's telling how vested someone(s) seem to be in making others feel bad, almost as if they fear the women WON'T feel bad without their help. -- 47, feeling just fine, thankyouverramuch ![]() |
