No man has ever found any woman over 30 to be attractive. Every woman who turns 30 is required to commence dressing and carrying on like the old town spinster.

Perhaps you are right. I don't know. Just my observations.

What I do know is that fewer men will be attractive or trying to get some with women well beyond 44 who have "beach-ball bodies."

I thought attractive women 34-44 were more fun to date than women 18-24.

No they actually do put a lot of value on the younger women, you see it all the time. They talk about how they are looks wise and all and how they're most desirable physically. I work with a man who's about 42ish and he goes on and on about Selena Gomez. She's about 20 I think. It sounds really noble to say otherwise, but IMO, they do prefer the younger ones but many of them over the hill cannot get them.

I'm young enough to not have a valid opinion, but I could understand why someone would want to sleep with 22 year old......and also want to marry a 30 year old. This will disgust you as usual, but the truth is in order. I was like you once. Always hating the way things are. You have to rise above it, or you can enjoy being alone. If you're cool with that it's awesome.

Yes you don't have a 'valid opinion,' but not because you are young, because you don't know what you're talking about. I don't date hence I will be alone. See how that works....

Anyways, I wasn't talking about myself in the first place. I was talking about what I see men mostly going for.

I'm sure somewhere in this universe that mushy stuff does exist but, not here lol

I don't understand why women are so afraid to turn 30. I turned 31 a few months ago, and the last two years have been the best of my life. The two years before that were the absolute worst. I got married when I was 30. I look forward to growing old with my husband, we have a blast together. I doubt it would ever happen, but if someday he "trades me in for a younger model" I will go on living my life.

OP, live your life for you and not for a man. Become an interesting person, develop some interests outside of how to keep a man. I have several single friends who are in their late 30's and early-mid 40's and they are awesome women who enjoy life. Imagine that!
