Can you find love after your looks have faded?

What does the OP's life have to do with Hollywood? She's hoping to meet a real man, not star in a film opposite George Clooney.

No, usually it a hot woman paired up with an ugly guy in those movies.

Not all men are simply shallow horndogs looking for some young thing. (As if 30-something is old.)

Be witty. Be interesting. Be curious. Be fun. Be mysterious. Be confident.

I was told long ago that you don't choose your mate based on looks. No one beats Father Time. No one. I'm 54. DW is 52. Does she look like she did at 25? Nope. Neither do I. But she's all of the above and thus far more appealing than every other woman I meet.

Thirty-something is a wonderful age for a woman. Enjoy it.

Who cares? I've been married to my wife 17yrs. I'd take my successful and happy marriage to my now 42yr old wife over a "Hollywood " marriage any day.

Stop watching Disney.

I'm 63 and just got married again.

Looks fade after 20? Are you for real?

OP, most women in Washington get married after 30.

It is more difficult for sure. It can still be done so don't lose heart! It helps to think of yourself as more than just a face and body though.

I don't know if you are a woman looking for encouragement or a man trolling, so I'll just pretend I'm sure you're the latter:

If you feel your looks are fading, look at it as a blessing in disguise: It frees you up to lead with who you really are, and not feel like everything is about your looks.
Throw yourself into the life you want to live. Do things you love and meet people you connect with. No one can be sure they'll meet a great person and get married, but if you stop trying to market yourself and just live doing the things you love, you stand the highest chance of meeting someone who adores you for you. And yes, that does happen.
Hugs and good luck!

Go to Europe/date European men. They are much more forgiving in respect to age.

I can't get copy and paste to work, but there was a thread a few months back titled Can you fall in love with30+ women?

I think Bunchen is very overrated. She does nothing for me. Sincerely, a man.

I'm cracking up at the idea that every woman over 30 has "lost her looks."

+1. Watch out, OP. In five years your looks will be gone (if you're a woman) or you'll have to start dating women 10 years younger (if youre a man).

Actually, many of the most ordinary-looking people I know, with the most ordinary bodies, seem to have spouses or boyfriends. A lot of my very pretty friends are single.

So clearly a lot of guys don't care if a woman isn't a 10... or an 8.

Most 22-year-olds don't look as good as either woman, so let's not set that as the standard. You're really just playing into the OP, going along with the idea that only beautiful, very thin, genetically blessed women have anything to offer men.

Point is, many 30+ women are still smoking hot. The same principle applies to other women.
