Most of the really attractive women I've known never had a problem getting dates or having guys hit on them. Then again, I have guy friends who were really attractive that get hit on routinely by women.

That's fine.

Just be careful not to let that view take over and cause you to have any sort of resentment towards those you think are attractive.

Getting back to the Op, do most agree with it or is it inaccurate?
Well said on how everybody might have an advantage over someone else: race, economic status, height, weight, education, etc. Something I have heard often that obviously is not necessarily true for every beauty queen out there is that they are normally a bit dumb . Look at beauty pageants and how they answer questions, their academic preparation, etc. Of course there are exceptions but hey their beauty might not be EVERYTHING that they can show about themselves. So while we may show some advantages over others, whatever that may be, we may also show disadvantages.

At least hot women will have more men approach them than your average-looking or past-her-prime (over 30) woman.

It's not a problem getting dates. That's not the point. Most attractive people - women AND men, can GET them. But being able to meet someone of quality that one is attracted to, likes, respects, and with whom one feels compatible, is VERY difficult.

As cinderslipper says, some people, especially those of us over the age of 35, are looking for something meaningful. I, personally, have never understood the practice of dating someone just for the sake of dating someone, without there being strong chemistry.

Over 30 is past her prime? That's ridiculous.


FYI--I'll be 33, soon. I don't put my age out there. EVERYONE who meets me thinks I'm 26/27. Co-workers, strangers, EVERYONE. I constantly get asked to see my license because people think I'm lying about being older.

I think saying something like past their prime is ridiculous. Past their prime for what? Getting married? Having babies? Ridiculous and antiquated thinking.

I've found my 30s to BE my prime. More money, more success, more value on friends and family. More comfortable with myself--I know myself better. Let's not get started on sex--women hit their sexual PRIME IN their 30s.


I have to agree that I find a lot--not all, but a lot--of the men on this forum extremely antiquated/ego up/bitter.

Lol, of course, you're not buying it...because you've never dated a gorgeous woman, nor are they throwing themselves at you; which explains a lot of bitterness in here.

I haven't dated an extremely gorgeous woman. But I've dated cute women and I'm far from bitter.

Past their prime over 30?? I'm 43 and I still get noticed by plenty of guys, my mother is 61, in great shape and still gets a lot of attention as well. I don't know what world you've been living in honey.
