Is it true that before 30, women have the advantage in dating but after 30, men have the advantage and the women’s market value starts declining fast? (Page 2)

[warrenstone]

Yes. This is why men have shitty dating lives in their 20’s, and then it blossoms in their 30’s.


This is also why women can get any guy they want in their 20’s, and then feel doomed and depressed in their 30’s.

[RationalMale]

That is going to depend on the man or woman maximizing their personal value--being the best they can be. Being the most attractive they can be, making their best income possible, learning social skills, etc.

[boggboss]

Nope as most men that where unable to date before then tend to not be able to fate after unless they fix the issues they had

[Browneye57]

Absolutely true. And why peak SMV for women is 22-23, and for men 33-36.
Your success and affluence also bears on your sexual market value.
A woman's prime value is her youth and beauty.

[yourbabygirl921]

Not for my opinion I like men who are in their last 20s but not in their late 30s

[michael1469]

A 20 or 30 something shouldn't be banging a 16 yr old.

[yourbabygirl921]

A lot of them are

[sensible27]

Sure. But the stats might mean different things pr causes than you might think.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Men ate almost equally disadvantaged at any age before he hits old. Women's advantages just goes down time to time

[TheFlak38]

That's false. That underestimates womens options. The only that changes after 30 is that they have ten thousand options instead of one million.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Yes, Overall these trends are true but it always comes down to the individual man and woman

[fred_durst]

we know that most women prefer much older men
but
they are many guys who prefer older women too , so i think it is not true

[nelly83]

Empirical evidence has also accumulated in support of women's preferences for older men, and as you might expect, the data often overlap with those data supporting men's preferences. As this sample of Conroy-Beam and Buss's (2019) review suggests:

Cross-culturally, women report wanting partners who are (on average) 3.5 years older than them.
In online dating, women make the first contact with older men at a greater than rate they do younger men.
Marriage records show that women are marrying men who are older than they are by about 3 years.

ONLY if a man working hard on themselves in many aspects. most men will fail for many reasons...

but yea... high value man have more options than a woman in her 30's

[Anonymous]

In the scenario of matched aged, yes. But notice a +30yo guy is still below young women who they want to date.

[Anonymous]

That's true for guys who are making something of their lives. Less so for dudes who still live in their parents' basement.

[Tstrbrainer]

Maybe, but if women are only looking for sex, it doesn't affect them at all

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not true. Both men and women have disadvantage after 30

[bamesjond0069]

Hell no. Maybe if you're undesirable from the get go but the older I get I do wayyyy better with the women. Not even close.

[AmandaYVR]

I think so.

[msc545]

Women ALWAYS have the advantage.

[Steinkopf]

Maybe after 35 but not before that.

[MCheetah]

Yep!

[InfobotLives]

Nah..
