Trying to figure out how to word this.
As you get older, it's nice to not get looked at like a piece of meat. I've only in the last couple years been able to avoid dealing with this any time I went out. I've never dressed provocatively, almost always wear modest dresses, occasionally jeans and a tshirt, and I keep my hair down, I don't dye my hair or wear anything but flats, I don't wear makeup. However, I have still dealt with the problem any time a male has spent time with me beyond just passing interactions like at the grocery store. I've been married sixteen years this coming autumn.
If women aren't getting looked at by men it's because they're whales. I don't think I'm beautiful, quite average, and I still get more attention than I would want(even though I'm knocking on 40's door).
So you can enjoy this idea that men pay no attention to women as they get older, but it's not true. There are ridiculous numbers of men that are probably accustomed to what Tinder and porn has programmed them to think is normal: casual sexual encounters all the time with people regardless if they're married or not, older or not. These women posting this must be whales or hideous kikes.
Could also be that they just disregard the attention they get from 5/10s and they're lamenting that the 8/10+ are going for the 22 year olds.
But yeah I agree. Women way into middle age get attention as long as they have a good figure.
Yes I could see perhaps the "apple of their eye" in a situation rebuffing them. This would make more sense.
Seriously, even women who pursued a career over marrying and having children are still a hot commodity if they're attractive. No one that I ever dated ever asked how many people I had slept with, but I didn't sleep with the majority of people I dated so perhaps that's why. This idea that women ride the cock carousel is only among low self esteem, low IQ, low quality women. A woman who is a powerhouse at work got there because she's responsible and low risk taking, not because she sleeps her way around. They usually put in a lot of hours and really do sacrifice any chance with any relationships. I'm not talking about one that got management then fucked up and lost the job.
The picture painted of women here is delusional.
The majority of people suck. Both men and women.
The majority of people you will date will suck. Both for men and women.
If you are dumb enough to knock a woman up before testing the waters with knowing her morals, values, and family, you're 9/10x going to get screwed.
If you're dumb enough to marry someone without knowing their morals and values and family, you're going to get screwed.
Reality: society, family, and peer pressure ill equipped the vast majority of us for assessing value of a mate before we got screwed. This is not women's fault. It's not men's fault. It's not even really your parent's fault. I can not see how one generation would've understood the things the next would be facing. Could you have predicted the last few years?
So the soap box message I'm apparently delivering is: life isn't fair, it isn't meant to be easy, the hard things make you either a better person through wisdom or an asshole who blames everyone else for your bad decisions.
Which are you?
