Women are "Damaged Goods" after 30..

[Anonymous]

Those men you were hanging out with the sound very immature. I come from a family of six girls, some of us married young, 20s, but three of us married in our mid to late 30s. We are all successful in our career and are married to men who are successful in theirs. I suppose I am surprised to hear that from your generation, as I thought that things have changed and it is more expected for women to work and get established in their careers prior to getting married.

Expected by whom, other women ? I don't think men expect anything along those lines; you meet a woman, she does something for a living, she's free at certain times and not at others.

I feel like after age 18 we are all damaged goods. By 18 we should have had a partner and have gotten married. I didn't so I'm single at 35. I don't even look for a relationship.

Op I think the bigger problem you'll face as you move single into your thirties is men your age who are damaged goods.

Men age like wine while women age like milk. You're trending downward, we're trending upward and so are our cranks.

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.

Was her name Maude?

One ( engaged guy) told me I should put more focus into finding a husband because most men women single and over 30 as " damaged goods". If they were a catch, they would have already been taken. The other guys agreed, and then said while I am a good catch, men might immediately dismiss me because of my age. I believe it's bs buy curious what other, specifically males, think about their views?

Please I met my DH at 32 and had my first child at 36, after we of course got married. I was on the same path as you and that was thirty years ago. What you friends said, wasn't true then and it isn't true now. Follow your heart and stay happy, you will meet that guy when the time is right for both of you. There is no forcing that.

I once read a study that said that women over 30 only have a 20% marriage rate and it decreases with age. Obviously education affects the age of 1st marriage

The study concluded that one of the major problems was "vampire men". Women would date guys who had no interest in long term relationships. This would take valuable years away from women who would be better off pursuing more conservative (non-political sense), family and marriage oriented men.

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!

VIOLA?? Christ.

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.

Men age like wine while women age like milk. Truth hurts.

You gotta be kidding me. Any 29 year old man who is in "love" with a 69 y/o woman has a number of screws loose, to put it bluntly.
