As I venture farther into my 30's I am finding out who I am as a person. I know what I want and where I want to go. A girl or woman in her 20's is still learning that. Therein lies a partial answer. Who wants to be with someone who "knows" all there is to know? That's the equivalent to "being stuck in your ways." Hooking up with someone who "is still learning that" can have a variety of options in store for them. They can have the opportunity to mold the person into perfection, or, they can have the thrill of discovering something new and different each and every day and actually growing into something together . . . rather than conforming to fit into a frame of mind that is already set in stone. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 7:37:55 PM | I have only one question, OP. Why are you bothering with this drivel, anyway?
You know whether you are attractive or not.
You know whether you have something to offer or not, and how much.
If you cannot be SURE of that, then you lack self-esteem, which means that you are less capable than a 21-year-old who is SURE of what she can offer a man.
Most women that I have met seem to assume that a woman in her 20s can offer looks over a woman in her 30s or older. That idea in itself is a warning sign. Relationships are about personality, not looks. Looks are what draws "bad boys" to a woman, like bears to honey. They just want to eat, not to grow. You should have figured that out by the age of 14. If you have not yet grasped that one yet, then that is a bigger problem to me than anything.
I suggest you go hang out with some women in their 20s, and women in their 30s and you make your own mind up.
I am quite willing to give support and reassurance to a woman about a particular issue that is personal to her, but to your whole gender? I don't know them all. That is pushing it.
Just my humble opinion. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 7:40:05 PM | OP - I'd say your roommate is a bit "jaded" in his outlook about us older dames. People really don't want to be labeled as "marketable". Older women, just like older men are sought after. Age has nothing to do with whether someone is desireable or not. It's the person themselves, their character, their sense of well being.
Drama? Folks of all ages and sexes can turn on the drama. You know what I tell someone when they want to pull a drama act on me? I tell them "if you want drama, I'll give you a Broadway Play".  | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 7:42:01 PM | Nope, not at all...at my store, I usally put them on the "free" shelf and still get no takers...
On the other hand, I think your friend is full of shit and doesn't have a clue about women...
As women get older, they age like a fine wine, they become more desirable and have an aura that makes a man want them, plus they also have learned the bullshit games men play and out smart us at every corner...
However, this week there is a 2 for 1 sale going on...  | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 8:34:53 PM | | marketable? Meaning women that can be bought? I think there is a name for those type of women and perhaps 30 is a cutoff point in how much they can charge...who knows? | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 8:40:48 PM | | If women are not "marketable" after 30, WHY am I going on more dates after age 40 than I ever have in my life???...Im in a commited relationship with someone and I STILL get emails from men wanting to date.....I think thats a bunch of BS drummed up to make women paranoid about getting older and wiser and sexier!...I would NEVER want to be 20 something ever again,....As a 45 yr old...I think have the best of both worlds... Im young enough to be active, adventurous and open minded yet old enough to have acquired some wisdom and self confidence along the way...No 20 something has that combo down so skillfully | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 8:47:02 PM | People are "marketable" at any age!....to go along with business terminology.people after 30,40,50 are "marketable to a different demographic.I'm 44 and don't usually bother w/ women in there early 30's and definately not 20's....usually they think I'm to old anyway!....LOL! Little do they know,at my age I can still party or be serious...I've learned balance and have a good life.I'm sure a lot of others in my unmarketable age bracket have as well.Now we have the best of both worlds,mostly drama free because we can communicate,have fun,have our lives in order and by now have just figured out how to be better people in and out of relationships! How's that for 'marketable"?
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Posted: 7/24/2007 9:01:43 PM | | Why are we even having this discussion??? There are so many fascinating women in this age range. By the same token, one might argue men over thirty are less marketable because their sex drive has taken its first hits. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 9:38:47 PM | Heh, when I was 24 I was dating a 32y/o... so I think she was "marketable" 
Although... YES! Women over 30 are unmarketable! So ladies, instead of keeping yourself on the market you should all come knocking on my door!! | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 9:43:22 PM | I think women do a lot of maturing after 35 or so and it makes them waaaaayy more attractive to me.
I would rather date a woman whos over 30.
My search guidlines are from 33 to 43.
I think older women are a lot more attractive and more "marketable" than under 30's. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 12:32:04 AM | | YIKES!!! Funny, but I remember when I was turning 30 and unhappily married. I thought I was SO old and losing my looks. Now I am divorced, much happier and at 48, I still seem to be able to attract men....... interestingly enough, the majority of the men that do contact me are younger than me. It makes me think that younger guys like older women and older guys want someone young. Go figure.. to me it's not so much about age, as it is personality. A guy might be an "old fart at 40", where someone else might be active and young at 50. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 1:14:15 AM | Once in their 30's they are still obviously marketable, but they will no longer be (generally) considered the favourite choice of just about every male age group. So much less so.
There are enough threads in these forums about men in their 40's and 50's wanting girls in their 20's to know that most men will go for that age group if they can, regardless of how old they are themselves. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 3:51:38 AM | Well, I am 34 and I have never had so much men to choose from in my life.lol So, I guess to me that statement sounded funny. In my 20's, I didn't see this much interest at all. So, I think he is way off his mark on that one!

Posted: 7/25/2007 4:02:23 AM | Marketable???. Are you on sale??. Sounds like what your friend is really trying to say is that he thinks women over the age of 30 are passed their 'used by date'. Just remember, everyone has something to offer no matter what age they may be  | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 4:31:34 AM | sure womenin there 30s are marketable. only difference is the packaging is a lil more loose n less crisp, plus they arent as moist n tender, but that depends how their prior retailers have stored them.
if they have been kept on a shelf and not been too manhandled or kicked around the floor chances are they may still b good enuf to eat lol. all people male and female are a product of their use/misuse of the past. age isnt a beginning and end of the story
other than that tho , who is marketing women? | |

Slyknight.. I doubt if over 30 is "so much less so".. there are attractive people of all ages... Not everyone wants a little "girl"... Most of the men Ive met in my life are looking for a woman. The only guys Ive seen who desire mostly a girl in 20's, are the guys who feel like their getting old..
In context it was supposed to read as 'So, much less so', rather than 'so much' less so - but that's splitting hairs.
Statistically, the older a man marries, the greater the age difference between himself and his spouse (him being older). When a man remarries, he overwhelmingly chooses a new wife younger than his first one. And the better off he is financially, the bigger the age gap.
One could draw the conclusion from this that when a man is free to choose (i.e, has the status, wealth & power to select from a great many available women) he invariably chooses a very young partner. As his choice is reduced, he will subconsciously convince himself that those options no longer available to him aren't what he really wants anyway.
Women over 30 are still marketable, but their 'market' is undeniably smaller. There are far fewer single men in the 30-40 age group than there are in the 20-30 age group, and there are far fewer men in the 20-30 age group who will consider a serious relationship with a woman over 30 than there are men in the 30-40 age group who will consider a serious relationship with a woman in the 20-30 age group.
Whatever way you spin it, there are fewer options, fewer potential partners out there, and tougher competition. This makes a woman over 30 significantly less marketable, generally speaking. | |
