Do women devalue as they age and aren’t in their said “prime” anymore? Will a younger woman always be more appealing?

Question

I overheard my partner watching a video on how women devalue as they age. Summing it up that a women say she’s successful and attractive but in her 30’s and beyond that she is not sought after that it will always be the younger women that are wanted even though they aren’t well versed in many areas yet.

Regrettably, that appears to be the case. Men tend to view women who have experienced trauma or carry emotional baggage as unappealing, while they are drawn to women who are considered pure. Additionally, raising another man's children is often viewed as a threat to a man's masculinity. Furthermore, men typically desire to establish themselves financially before starting a family, and younger women offer a greater window of time for achieving this. Younger women also tend to be more receptive to adapting to new circumstances.

Although these natural circumstances may exist, it's important to recognize that humans are multi-faceted and have unique qualities that provide value in numerous ways. While some people may prioritize certain traits or circumstances when choosing a partner or starting a family, it's essential to remember that each individual has their own strengths, weaknesses, and experiences that make them valuable and worthy of love and respect. It's important not to generalize or reduce people to a set of traits or circumstances.

It's true that women in their 20s will typically be chosen over women in their 30s.
I think the reasons are obvious and pretty common sense, so I won't bother explaining.
However, that doesn't mean women in their 30s have no value, or even less value when compared on an individual basis.

I would take back my 34 year old girlfriend over my current 22 year old girlfriend any day. But I can't because she's dead.

It depends what they value. I've seen beat up 23 year olds and mint condition 60 year olds male and female. This misogynistic stuff is really getting out of hand.

DaveJord · Answer

No woman does not lose value with age.

What makes younger woman more attractive is that are not completely damaged yet... so they may be more willing or accepting of an older man.

I am 46 and thinks lots of woman my age is darn sexy. But woman my age is single for a reason, and place greater value on other things then they are willing to place on a man.

I got divorced at 42, and honestly, I had no concept of how hard it would be to date at 40.

Well, she more likely to have one or more children at that point in her life, and few things make a woman less appealing than her having kids. It's not about her looks, especially if she's still attractive.

Finchie40 · Answer

She doesn’t devalue from her looks she devalues because she probably has a history with a bunch of guys that spread her legs that used her and fucked with her heart , so to a guy she is pretty much broken already cuz she has a history of failed relationships , Most older guys go for younger girls mainly because younger girls’ aren’t as broken , a guy feels like he can save a younger girl from all the heart break she will encounter dating guys her age , Most girl’s love looking up to her man , why so many younger girls like older men , she feels she can look up to him and he can lead her the right direction in life and makes her feel safe and protected , After my divorce and entering the dating world , I had amazing Chemistry and connection with younger girls’ because in her eyes I was mature and wise and had my shit together , I am not saying girl’s my age are bad , just I feel more attractive to a younger girl , because she values me more and makes me feel wanted , she wants to be submissive to me and to most guys that is a huge turn on because we love being dominate , it boosts are ego when we have a girl that only has eyes for us , a girl my age or older usually is broken and has a hard time loving a guy cuz she had her heart shit on to many times, which is clearly understandable , but for a guy my age , I don’t want to be with a girl that doesn’t really look up to me , and doesn’t really want to be submissive to me and doesn’t feel safe and secure in my arms like a younger girl does, so that’s pretty much the main reason older guys like younger girls’ We want a girl that hasn’t been around the block a bunch of times , it’s sexier knowing she doesn’t have a high body count , we cherish girls’ more that don’t have a high body count , just the way it goes, us older guys don’t get the attention like females do , so when we meet a younger girl that melts for us , we are going to be more drawn to her over a girl our age or older

In the dating game yes. Especially when it comes to having children. Now if he’s already been through all that, kids, marriage, etc, he may be ok w meeting someone who is older. But fertility plays a big part in what women men are interested in. Men honestly really don’t care if a girl is rich or successful. I mean sure if my girl starts making more money it isn’t going to make her more attractive to me. A lot of men tend to like younger women as well because she isn’t damaged as much as these older women who tend to be bitter, who hate men. Plus most men don’t really attain their value till they’re older, which as much as a lot of women may say isn’t true, men are judged on that. So when he’s finally stable, maybe early 30’s, he wants to share that w someone. Maybe a younger girl who isn’t going to question his every move like there’s some motive behind it the way an older female would do. Men love to give a girl a lot of first, first time going to Hawaii, first time doing this or that. It’s not that special when she’s already been there w dudes who were plowing her left and right.

Peoples value changes over time including women. I'd say some women, may go up, some go down. It's more a factor of emotional, physical and financial health. The women that are aggressive, confident, put themselves out there, and learn... generally win. Some guys don't want to make kids, they want a partner... and whatever it is they want.

When I reached 30 I thought my life was over. My life was just starting. I see women having kids in late 30's, getting married in their 50's and a few in their 70's. Some people start life over in their 60's.

It just may not be what it was when you were 20... if you want what you had at that age, time to do some therapy.

I guarantee life will change every 10 years. How it changes, is up to each individual.

Yea, young women tend to have better looks, higher fertility and less baggage, you better get married and have children while you still can, your biological clock is ticking.

inhua · Answer

the things men care about in women tend to exist in younger women as opposed to older women. things such as youth, fertility, health, virginity, no emotional baggage etc. men don't care about a woman's money, job, status, experiences etc.

older women can still be attractive but it's not about her but who her competition is and when she's competing against younger women, it becomes much harder for her

the converse is true for men. men struggle heavily early on and they get better with age in money, job, status, experiences as well as strength, confidence, maturity etc.

if you want to boil it down to looks only, ageing makes both men and women look more masculine but looking more masculine benefits men a lot more and disadvantages women

stepyo99 · Answer

It's true. A woman's value is in her looks and fertility. That's why the women who bought into the feminist propaganda that being strong = sleeping around, being a single mom, and putting their career before everything until they're 35 are now waking up to the cold reality that Prince Charming wants the submissive twenty year old without all the baggage.

On the other hand, a man's value is in his social status, which can also include looks to a lesser extent but is more closely related to his wealth and how he carries himself.

shades777 · Answer

Women's sexual currency on first impressions is always been their initial attractiveness, on average men aren't trying to get to know a Shrek, also women's sexual worth is tied to what sex is ultimately used for... you guessed it, kids!
So your attractive level depletes as your chances to have children go down.

Which is also why women are drawn to resourceful men, because of the kid connections, its literally all connected.

He wants a woman who can have kids,
she wants a man who can feed kids,

high cheekbones, full lips, small waist cute booty she looks fertile.

strong jawline, 6 pack, big shoulders, guess what, he looks like a defender

there's more elaborate ways of explaining the whys and hows. womens prime is her 20's a mans prime is 30-50s

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It's technically true, but not in the way that a lot of people talk about it. A woman in her 30s is generally less physically appealing than a woman in her twenties, but the life experiences and culture that the older woman has lived through make her a more interesting person than the 20-something.

Physical beauty is not the most important part of a woman.

richardcory · Answer

I think most people are happiest dating others near their own age, so I don't think the value of either changes a lot.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

There is nothing in terms of relationship value that is improved as a woman ages. Sure she might make more money or have more experience but this isn't a job interview... it's for a relationship. And the criteria for a relationship values women on a few things like sexual purity, fertility, appearance, pleasant attitude... among other things... all of which are somewhat dependent on age. Where a younger woman is more likely to have better standing for all those things.

This is not a simple answer. The short answer is a GOOD woman does NOT have an expiration date. Unfortunately there is a limited number of good women. So the reality is YES most women do start losing thier market value after 30 because so few women today put effort into developing any other part of them.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

1. Your physical prime lasts however long you make it last, some women in their 50s look younger than some teens do.
2. The bigger issues are body count and single parenthood, those can reduce your dating pool by a lot, regardles of age.

MementoMori777 · Answer

Unfortunately because the world runs on lust and only looks at appearance and judge people based on appearance and they avoid love or actually meeting someone then this seems to be the truth

It has to do with reproduction.. A woman older than 35 has about a 12%chance of getting married and having children. It's a Stat That modern women hate. Why would a successful male want someone who only has what, 3 to 5 good child bearing years left?
