Men age like wine, women age like milk (so the saying goes) (movies, attracted)

Fortunately, women in their 40s and 50s can date and find mutual attraction with men in their 40s and 50s, and no one thinks they are "missing out" on anything. You will understand when you are older. Maybe.

you didn't actually reply to what he said. you replied to what you thought he said. he never said anything about people older than forty being unable to date each other and be happy and feel attractive

Keep telling yourself that.

You've got it the wrong way around.

Where I come from the saying is "women age like fine wine, men like milk".

How strange.

You're funny. Honestly - I doubt you could tell a difference in a 23 year old and a 28 year old. I'm not saying that 50 year old woman looks the same as a 22 year old - but I think it's funny when people talk about a woman's looks going down hill at 24. I didn't look much different until my mid 30's - and I'd say I looked my best around 31 or 32. But if it makes you feel better - then you can think whatever you want!

I don't think you know what 21 year olds look like. Steve looks 30-something.

Is it true? Do women peak in their late teens/early twenties in terms of looks and then rapidly lose their looks after their mid 20s?

These manosphere bloggers use the term "The Wall" to refer to the point in which a woman's looks only degrade.

This (wordy) blogger explains the concept:

The Wall |

I honestly cannot think of anything on the planet that is less important than a persons's sexual market value. LOL please.

are we reading the same thread? where is this coming from? quotations preferred, because i'm reading statements like this:

i'd say that there's more people who sour like milk than age like a fine wine.

Just my 2 cents.

Plus, these guys all think they're entitled to and deserve a ridiculously hot supermodel because they have major issues. Anyone else is subject to ridicule and harassment.

Yeah, that's pretty much the bottom line.

This kind of thinking just goes for making them less attractive. It's a petty and vindictive temper tantrum. I'm just wondering how very disappointed they will be when they do get to my age. If they drink their own kool-aid, it's going to be a pretty bitter scene when they hit 40. Imagine their shock when the women their age are not crying and throwing themselves at their feet, and the 20-somethings don't all care about money, and "status" and want to date the old dude.

I would suggest that they try to raise themselves up as opposed to putting women down, but I can't see that burst of enlightenment helping. Unfortunately.
