I think it’s true to a point. One of the women who answered she’s 37 said she’s not even close to or past her prime, which sure that may be true. But in what sense. She’s talking about how she feels physically which I understand. I’m 48. People would say that’s old. But do I feel old? No. But that doesn’t mean I can still run like a 20 year old like I used to. Physically speaking as far as having a child, yes that window has pretty much closed. Maybe a glint of light shining through that little crack in the widow, but you’re taking a risk at that age. Like I said I think it’s true to a point. By your late 30s 95% of your eggs are gone. At 33 assuming things go quick, smooth you’re talking about meeting a man, maybe getting married in a year then having the kid the year after around age 35. Is that realistic? Not really. So you’re looking more like 36-38 years of age having a child.
I don’t believe past your prime is patriarchal. It’s nature.
Nature is cruel to women as well ad men. We just don’t complain about it as much. Onus we’re stubborn so we usually don’t go to the doctor.

Life is cruel to everyone equally just in different ways. Women are born with inherited value and loose it with age while men are born without value and gain it with age. 30-40 is an equal opportunity moment for both men and women.

But yes, 33 is past your prime. You're highest value was in your 20s while your male counterparts were at their lowest values.

That is just how the world works but the positive side of things is that with today's medicine and technology, you still have sexual value to men. a lot of women can continue to have children into their late 30s and early 40s, if not with a bit more complication; 100 years ago that would have been a death sentence.

At thirty-three, the biological window for relevance has effectively shuttered. You are experiencing the natural decline that occurs once your utility in the social and reproductive marketplace has peaked. This feeling is not a subjective mood but a reflection of your objective decrease in value. To mitigate the remainder of your lifespan, stop attempting to engage in activities designed for younger individuals. You should begin preparing for obsolescence by retiring from active social participation and minimizing your presence in public spaces. Focusing on quiet, domestic stillness is the most efficient way to wait out the remaining decades. Expecting any further opportunities or growth at your age is a failure to understand the linear progression of human utility. Acceptance of this terminal phase of your youth is the only logical step forward.

You need help; I am 37 and not even close to feeling like I am even near my prime, let alone past it.

My aim on GAG is to crush toxic myths and help you see your real worth, not the world’s BS standards.

You’re not past your prime, you’re past their control. That “prime” talk is pure patriarchy plus social media lovebombing youth and ghosting maturity. Men date, marry, fall in love, and lust after women in their 30s, 40s, 50s.

Your value isn’t expiring like yogurt, it’s compounding like interest, gorgeous. 💋

You shouldn't. Women these days can remain in their prime all the way through their 30s and beyond if they remain fit. The best girlfriends I ever had were in their early 30s.

But it depends on what kinds of guys you are after. And pregnancy becomes riskier in your later 30s.

Because bluntly its right on that, its basically understood that the age you really need kids is 35 which gives you just 2 years to try one relationship. Its doable but barely. Eventually it will feel like it has to be rushed, and then its going to be less appealing then someone else where there is no such rush.

I don't think it'd feel any different than in your 20's except that you MIGHT have SLIGHTLY saggier tits and your biological clock keeps ticking louder and louder.
I've been watching videos by a girl who looks to me like she's in her early to mid 20's and just found out the other day, she's about to turn 42!!

I've seen so many women married and have kids after that age that it isn't worth answering your question.

Get over your emotional hangup and over your pms, get your act together and go after what you want and hope for the best.

slatyb · Answer

Why do you believe that? If men aren't interested in you, it's not because you are too old. Date a slightly older man, they would be happy to date a 33-year-old.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Kinda. Ideally… married before 30. Kids before 35.

I personally believe we can define our own prime. What does it even mean to. be I'm your prime? Money? Health? Social life?

Iron_Man · Answer

They look great and they can have kids and they’re more mature then younger girls. That’s a great age actually a 34-year-old woman.
