Yeah, but admitting it would make them feel bad. It would be a hit to their ego. So instead they re-frame it as though they're somehow becoming more picky. Like they've finally come to their senses and stopped going after "fuckboys" - who are really the guys they'd have preferred to be with but they couldn't lock them down. They frame it as though they've become more sensible and have decided to turn those other guys down, not that they're settling, which they are, because they know deep down despite the pretence that as they get older as single women they'll have less and less options.
Here's a recent example. Read her question and notice her age. Imagine being that guy:
My boyfriend wants more sex, but I think I'm just not as physically attracted to him as he wants. How do I express this?

Henny Youngman said "Why do men die before their wives? They want to" but if you go around asking questions like that then you might never have to worry about finding out if Henny was really joking.
Why would you think that someone's looks are related to how picky they are? Does an ugly person have less of a right to be picky than a swimsuit model? If you're talking about age then I'd say it's more like a wave. Kids can be picky and grow out of it but as you get older you find reasons to be picky like something not agreeing with your body anymore or just being grumpy because aches and pains becomes a larger part of your daily life each year. Until eventually you can't consistently remember you're preferences anymore when the nightly episodes are replaced with moments of lucidity as the highlight of your day.
If you think womens beauty fades in their thirties, your nuts. And I dont think so, they are just more likley to want to settle down so they might give more men leeway
I’m more picky about personality but less picky about looks or sense of humour or money or status or confidence or charm

After a while, but women dont usually realize when they hit their wall. Its hilarious at times seeing 30+ year old single moms of 3 still thinking their 20 years old and childless when searching for a man
You are dumb women in 30s look way better than women in 20s. The only time a woman would give an ugly man a chance is when he has a big bank account.
