Is it downhill after 30?

[Anonymous]

My dads friend was shocked at my age. He said not too long just few years now you will turn 30.

he said

life goes downhill from there

you won't be marriage material if u dont get married at 30

you look good for an old girl

”jokes” like this. I honestly have no idea if he was joking or not. He’s known to have a big mouth, no filter, and says some silly things.

now I am afraid of turning 30!

[SnowedIn]

With sincere apologies, your dad's friend is an idiot. It's only downhill if you let it be. You are in charge of whether it (any it) is downhill or marriage material, etc.

He's a jerk or, at best, a terribly joker stuck in the past. Ignore him. Live your life.

[JamesDiaz11]

Is this really the first you're hearing about this?

[Asker]

I heard plenty of positive things. Why? You’re not over 30 so u would not know

[JamesDiaz11]

I've never heard a single positive thing about being over 30, except that men age line wine, women age like milk.

[ArrowheadSW]

I would say life in general has been much better AFTER the age 30!

[NamerOfStars]

In terms of physical attractiveness, maybe- but if that's the only good part of your life, your life is pretty lousy.

[Asker]

True

[dvc0006]

life goes downhill after 25 if that is the case

[Asker]

@dvc0006 not for everyone. I am 25, no one ever thinks Im over 18. When they hear how old I am they’re so shocked. Hehe

[dvc0006]

well, not true here is why, I am also similarly younger looking, when I was 22 , the neighbor though I was like 15,, while driving some girls thought I was like 21 when I was 30, so as long we ( you and me are under around 34 or 35) looks wise one might pass for younger, but once in your mid 30's you start getting noticeably wrinkles and white hair, once they begin to accumulate there is no hiding your real age. I am in my late 30's

[Asker]

@dvc0006 no wrinkles or white hair for women in their 30s in my family. I have great genes thankfully!

[Asker]

@dvc0006 its actually grey in my fam. Lol and it starts to show in 50s and not completely grey until 70s.

[dvc0006]

well, that doesn't change the fact it goes downhill over time. have you considered they die their hair , if you look closely in the mirror in your late 30s one has small wrinkles , time does not pass in vein

[AnUglyBarnacle]

Put bluntly: women tend to have an easier time in their late teens and 20s than men do. Things reverse beginning in the early 30s.

[Asker]

I dont think it reverses

[Kryzo]

It's true to an extent for women. It'll be much harder.

[Asker]

Why?

[Kryzo]

Women, whether they like it or not gain gain very advantages in social life because of their sexual value and beauty. Both of which reduce after 30 as women tend to age faster, after 30 it is harder to birth kids, the body count by 30 is usually rather high and so is related trauma for many women. Hence most guys wouldn't marry a woman like that if they can help it. Many may line up to smash. But it'll go nowhere. They won't commit.

[Asker]

I know a handful of women personally who had kids in late 30s and early 40s. Not to mention plenty of women on the internet. (Yes women have a limited time). But also sperm quality decreases for men once they turn 40. When it comes to looks, men age 10 years later IF they take good care of themselves. But if I see a man looking old I dont like it either, so its the same

[Kryzo]

What you mention is the exception, not the rule. A decent 40 year old man can land a 25 year old wife. Women can't do that.

[Asker]

Women do that, why do you mean “they cant” it happens. Maybe u need to get out more! But its not as common. Why? Women dont often like younger men, especially in their 20s. Personally as a 25 year old, I would be grossed out by a 45 year old wanting to “land” me. Ew

[Kryzo]

Well you are a minority then. There are plenty of women who will get with 40 year olds in their twenties. Older women can't get young men to commit even if they wanted to in most cases.

[Asker]

No, women do. It happens a lot. Im not a minority. Not 1 girl I know would find that attractive. Any time an older creep comes around me, any of my friends, or anyone I know we tell each other about it and how gross it was. A minority would find that attractive, it delusional to believe otherwise.

[Kryzo]

As far as I know as a guy and the older people I've talked to in my circle, they've no problem landing younger women. So one of us is wrong here. I mean, for example, Leonardo Di Caprio has not ever dated a woman above 30

[Asker]

But that’s Leo… bc he fears getting old. Its known. So dating younger women helps with that fear of his and keep him feeling young. So yes it a guy has issues. I agree. there's a reason that guy isn't married and does not have kids. It says you’re 20 though… so I am assuming ur “circle” are people around 20-30?

[Kryzo]

Yeah no. Due to my line of work in IT and related businesses, my circle in mainly in 30-50 range. I've also people near by age bracket but yeah. They're more casual friends.

[Asker]

Ahh i see. Well hopefully you’re not too influenced by the creeps

[Kryzo]

Eh. Course not. I just see a different world.

[Anonymous]

Only if you want to believe what moronic men have to say.

[Emanon25]

He’s exaggerating, just wanted to talk to you

[Loser94]

I feel ya I'm almost 30 and I feel like my life is already downhill

[goaded]

No. 40, give or take a couple of years.

[joeldalton]

Are you married, yet?

[LimitedBenefits101]

Yep for women it's downhill

[Anonymous]

Only if you believe it.

[Asker]

Its all a mindset

[Opinion Owner]

Absolutely.

[Luckycharms12]

That's ridiculous
