Am I worthless at my age?

[Anonymous]

I'm 27. My main goal in life is to be a wife and a mother. But I'm still single. I usually go for guys older than me but still close to my age but I hear all the time that older men prefer women in their early 20's because they are fertile and that women in their late 20's or early 30's are less fertile and are only good for just sex. That's just what I've heard. While I won't deny the truth about fertility, it's still not impossible for a woman in her 30's to conceive. Actually more women than ever in US history are conceiving in their 30's and 40's. However, maybe those who did conceive in their 30's already had a long time lover or already had at least 1 child. So I still feel like I'll be pushed aside for some 20 year old girl. I feel so worthless and unwanted and worried that I'll only be use for sex. I feel like I must rush into any relationship. I'm so scared I might not become a wife and a mother. Am I truly worthless? Are their any older men the perfer women closer to their age?

No, you are NOT worthless. You have many years of being a valuable woman ahead of you and you should have no problem finding a man if you work at it.

Yes, it's true that women tend to be more desirable in their 20s. Women have most of the power in the dating game in their 20s, which is why they should capitalize on that power and find a life partner during those years. But there are also plenty of single men in their 30s looking for a mate, and many of them want a woman their own age.

Yeah, but thats only because I don't want kids, not because you are 27.

Women in their 50s can still conceive by the way, its just after 30 the risk of birth defects and other illnesses goes up, so while you can have kids later, many guys don't want to take the risk of having unhealthy babies.

You are still young, j in had our first of 3 in my early 30's. Focus on meeting someone, regardless of their age, who has shared goals.
No one is worthless

You are right to be worried of hitting the wall, yea most guys prefer to marry a young girl.
