Interesting, that. A lot of bitterness.

OP, I don't know how to really even respond to you except to assure you that your perceptions are WAY, WAY off. You will realize that as you get older. But for right now, you seem really committed to your totally wrong perceptions of the difference between older women and older men, and I don't think us arguing with you about that is going to change your mind.

This is not redpill, this is what you see in every discussion on this topic whether in forums or in real life.
WUT? So much amorphous generalization masquerading as universal fact.

That "cell" you're trapped in – you need to bust out.

But when it comes to age, women face the worst of it. It's not even close. Also, late twenties to mid thirties seem to be peak age for guys (I think), so I'm not sure where you're coming from on this....
This.

OP, be honest. Are people really telling you this or is this just your own personal insecurity?

Yeah, it’s not the job of other people to make you feel good about yourself, OP.

That’s all you.

Would you marry someone insecure in themself?
You shouldn't.
Don't expect intelligent women to either.
You are not confident in your self because you don't know your self and still living as a kid.
I know, I've been there done that.
Stop living the fantasy and get into reality and learn things about your self and the things you expect out of life and what you are working toward, with real action, not dreams.
Hold a full-time job and be found reliable and responsible, and you should expect the same thing out of the woman you're looking at as well.

With enough age we turn into a delightful cheese to pair with the wine?

OP, the stereotype of older men wearing a trophy wife on their arms didn't develop because women just can't stand older men. It's not the age, it's what the man has to offer, and different women appreciate different things.

You re living in the upside down world if you think men have it harder than women as they age.

Seriously, have you not read any of the threads here saying how a woman's shelf life ends at 30? Have you not seen similar messages across all forms of media?

I'm baffled.

Of course most women will say this isn't true. But then why is it that 20 year old guys are expected to find women even in their 30s and 40s irresistible whereas 20 year old girls are expected to find 26 year old guys old and gross? Of course women in their 30s usually prefer to date guys their own age over the younger guys, but dating isn't about sexual desirability for women, particularly when they are trying to find someone to settle down with.



If we aren't hot enough for the younger women, then why should be expect that we are hot enough for the women our age or older? Wouldn't it be only reasonable to expect that these attractive late 20s and 30something women (and young looking Asian 40somethings) would be primarily attracted to teen and early 20s guys?
You're making a lot of generalisations. What I want to know is why would you feel 'over the hill' at 31? You have plenty of time.
