True or false: if a woman becomes desperate for marriage & a child at 35 & goes on all the apps, she’ll find someone online?

True - if she becomes more desperate, she’ll find someone

False - if she hasn’t found anyone by then, why would anything change unless she changes something?

Christmas cake most likely

Christmas cake?

Yeah. It's a term used in Japan to describe (mostly) women who are "past their prime" and are so not of interest to most men as being a plausible choice for wife material.

Here is the definition straight from Urban Dictionary:

A woman 26 years+ who is considered to be past her prime, undesirable, used goods and/or no good.

The term originates from Japan where it is tradition to eat cake on Christmas. So a cake intended for Christmas that was not eaten or is left over is considered bad and should be thrown out. Japanese businessmen coined the term, once again emphasizing the Japanese desire for a young and virginal wife. Japanese women over the age of 26 most often have to rely on either a hastily semi-arranged marriage to a friend of the family or, more frequently, marry a foreigner as they are rarely aware of the stigma or don't care.

"If we wait until after grad school, I'll be Christmas Cake."

"She just turned 26. She's Christmas Cake now."

"She married her husband at 30, so you know he wasn't bothered that she was Christmas Cake."

Now I won't lie, it is a bit of a sexist term, not that I care one way or another, but I personally would prefer an older woman. They tend to be a hell of a lot more reliable than younger women 9 times out of 10. I only mentioned that term because I know a lot of guys prefer their women as young as they can legally be, hence why many would see older women as "Christmas cake."

I think 26 is low. I think women become less desirable after 35-40.
