No Country for Old Women

[Anonymous]

It seems like men and society prize women for a very short period of their life. Women's physical beauty starts to bloom at around 16, blossoms at around 18-22 and then stays slowly decreases until we hit 30. Then all of a sudden that youthful glow is gone. The moment we turn 30 and start to look like "women" and not girls, we are invisible to society.

How should we deal?

What'd going on in your life where your only value is your looks? I never traded on that and have always felt valued by my professional colleagues / my friends / my family / others I cross paths with.

OP, I've never been stop people in their tracks beautiful, which is why I didn't ride my life on it. My career, my wealth, my life as a result also don't revolve around it. It'd be funny if you started questioning what happens to people like Warren Buffett when they get old and shriveled and stooped, but you didn't did you?

Find some meaning in your life.

I agree. It's strange to be treated exceptional for so many years then you become invisible.

As women have dealt with it for as long as we can remember. Use that physical beauty to marry a rich man.

You remind me of this woman OP. Boo-hoo you're not special anymore and don't get pleasantries just for sucking in air. Now its time to find that people will value you for.

It is what it is. You deal with it by not trading on your looks too much, and not falling into the trap of thinking that being young and attractive makes you better than other people.

Huh? According to who?

I'm bi, and I think women stay attractive for muuuuuucccchhhhh longer than men. Women can still be hot well into their 40s, perhaps even beyond that (I'm in my 20s, so when I'm looking to date I wouldnt be interested in anyone with more than a 20 year age difference, so I stop looking at past 40s). Men my age have already started looking wrinkly, going bald, getting paunches.

Women are taught to take care of themselves, wear sunscreen, etc. As a result they look younger and hotter for longer.

Don't worry OP! Plenty of people thinker older women are hot as hell, and I think way more desirable/desired than men of the same age.

Its stressful though. We're extraordinarily beautiful and desirable for say 6 years (16 - 22). From 16-19 we're too young to even think of marrying. 19-22 we're in college, partying, figuring life out.

We graduate at 22-24. Then we're trying to find work and establish ourselves. Many women do not even think of marriage or serious relationships at this time...when we start to think of marriage at say, 25, we have our most beautiful years behind us and the next 4 years (26-29) we are all competing with each other to find the most eligible man to marry whole our looks are on a steady decline.

Not many survive this stage and come out with a rich, stable, marriage minded man. Those who do are lucky.

Sure because you say so. Who cares what actually happens in real life. Yes it just a matter of being taught to take care of themselves, wear sunscreen, etc! LOL!

So glad the photo confirms my suspicion. This is a white lady issue. I have never felt my looks were something to trade on, and I certainly didn't experience my looks diminishing in my mid-20's. No way!

Older women are hot. Older men, less so.

OP you've been listening to too many MRAs.

The only people I can think of who might agree with your OP are pedophiles, and not quite sure why you would want to appeal to them.
