Is it normal to envy girls younger than you as you get older?

[hannahjo022]

I know this is weird to asked and wonder if anyone feels the same way. I get jealous of younger girls now because they are really attractive. It makes me missed being attractive and younger. As I am getting older notice I don't get hit on guys anymore and they tell me I am not attractive. It really hurts because growing up I always got told how pretty I am and got hit on all the time. Guys my age are going for younger girls. I notices all the older guys I used to date are dating women younger than me. Is this normal that I am jealous of younger women? Or is it because I am getting older and miss being an attractive younger women?

Gosh this question has come to me at the right time. Just yesterday I was passing by and noticed the little girl in our locality is all grown up and looks extremely pretty!! She literally looks like a doll. She is about 18 right now. I kinda felt jealous even though I have seen her growing up. I didn't let the jealousy get better of me or go to my head though. I appreciate her beauty at the same time. I am a pretty girl myself with a baby face. The moment I looked at her I remembered my College times when would look like fresh fruit just plucked from the tree. My skin is still firm but it was much firmer when I was 18. I had the best skin. I still do have a good skin that's cause I take my skin care very seriously. I don't wear makeup. I eat healthy. Where as the other girls my age don't have good skin , they eat junk and the eyes look sunken already. I still get a lot of attention from boys n men , it's just that I don't let it go to my head since I am in a committed relationship. It indeed made me feel a little old and sad yesterday. But then I also love being mature woman cause I grown very wise over the years. I used to be the most immature person while growing up. Each decade brings it's own set of goodness I guess. That's life.

How are you old? I’m guessing it’s mindset, my moms 45 and gets hit on a lot to the point it makes me uncomfortable. No daughter wants to see that crap, it’s just weird.


I say, Enjoy your life and work to better yourself rather than envying others since that will bring more harm to you than good

You've hit on the reason that thirtysomething woman are mostly concentrating on their careers, or dating much older men.

The 18-25 year old girls are constantly in demand, which gives some of them a real prom-queen attitude (we've had some amazing examples of this on GAG).

In the United States, girls age 25-29 are in the most likely range for marriage, which means guys of that age who missed out on finding a wife are going back into the 18-24 age pool for a second try. This puts you in a tough spot.

Even so, keep looking. There are still nice guys in your age range out there. We have sometimes have them posting here in GAG saying the same things that you are, only with a male spin.

I think naturally, women compete for male attention with beauty, which correlates with age. It’s normal. Women are told that they can wait, but it’s wrong. However. Your best bet is to take care of yourself, stay fit, use the tools you have to get male attention, become what men are looking for, beauty, femininity and agreeableness. Focus less on material things or money or status. If he looks decent, earns enough money for a good future, it is a good starting point. Be adamant about settling down for good, and be realistic when you look for a man.

I think you probably didn’t make good use of your younger years when you were still attractive. Enjoy the attention as much as possible while you still have it so you don’t have to be bitter when you get older.

Every woman knows this attention she gets when she’s young won’t last forever. It’s something you enjoy while you still have it. But you never depend your self worth on something Like that

Personally it’s how your mind is working and not your age.

it’s digging a hole from you.

plenty 40 yr old women get hit on never mind 30.

a lot is down to attitude, confidence.

you may be losing confidence in yourself and this is coming through.

you may just a slight reinvent

It is true, women get worse with age, men get better with age.

And younger bitches love hot older guys, just how nature works.

But if you don't get obese or fat or bake out in the fuckin sun until you're dried prune, you can look decent into your 40s

You will feel envy since they are younger, leaner, have more opportunities and so on. At this stage you have to look at what you have and not to think about all the ifs, buts and coconuts you could get.

[Stephie2369]

I think that you envy people at different times. I envy older girls because they have more experience

[raw_is_war99]

Why are girls hurt by this? How do you think guys feel, we don’t get hit on or told we’re handsome everyday.

[Pandupillu]

You guys get more handsome with age. I envy you

[Anonymous]

I think it’s normal. Women are born rich, men have to work and age to be attractive usually. A young man envies an older successful man who women adore, an aging woman envies a beautiful young woman who men adore

[Wise4myage]

I guess its ok as long as you don't become obsessed.

[Hanmakev]

Yes that’s why women hate me for having sex with high school girls it’s not my fault they like me 😂 suck it you saggy skanks

Age takes away your strength/beauty and gives you wisdom/riches

[lycanthrope3]

I bet if you look around you will see younger guys noticing you

[Yourfriend2021]

Sadly, that's how life is.

[Emmam298]

That's funny. I want to be older.

[007kingifrit]

[Seppel]

I think it's logical and normal

[In_Trance]
