Should women settle for less as they grow older? (Page 2)

Question

Two days ago I asked this very interesting question   link   and a user said that he'd advise men to pick their career over love when they're younger, but wouldn't advise women to do the same and when I asked why, he said, I quote:" I get hit on _more_ now that I'm in my mid 30's. I don't think many women get hit on more as they get older. Dating favors young women and successful men. So would I advise her to 'always follow love'? No. But putting off relationships is probably an investment for men, and a cost for women. So if they have a really good relationship that's headed to marriage that may be harder to replicate again for women then men. I hate saying it because its brutally unfair, but its the reality. Most guys I know (who are reasonably though not staggeringly successful) can actually date more attractive women and more women and more easily in their 30s then they could in their 20's. For women its the reverse."Do you agree with him? Should women settle for less as they grow older? Please comment on his answer. Thanks!

Literally no one, should 'settle' for anything. It's not nice to have someone settle for someone else only to move on for someone better given the opportunity.

To be honest, yes, I agree with what he said. I think the quantity of potential mates reduces as women get older and/or more successful, which is the opposite for guys (except age past a certain point). I don't think it's that difficult to see.

Sure if you want to be unhappy, I don't really understand by what you mean in terms of less?  What do you value?

Whether they admit it or not, older women tend to as their biological clock is ticking. They generally start going after the "nice" guys when women realize they can no longer attract the bad boys.

No. But it seems that some of us lower our standards as we age, some of of raise our standards as we age, and some of us keep our standards leveled.
