Marketable is an interesting term. I am not sure I understand how it is meant.


ahhah53, I agree with you, marketable definitely is not the proper word . If the OP really wants to know if a woman is attractive and desireable after age 30, OP should be able to tell by the number of men that have eyes for women 30 and over.

I see a lot of street walkers in their 30's so I guess they still are marketable.

I really have to say that women that are , say 48 and up into their late 50's are definately more marketable then the younger ones! The experience in life gives them the better edge! Remember that ladies!!!! They are oldie but goodies!!!!!!!!!

You have to be kidding. I'm 43. I don't have any trouble with men asking me out. I don't know exactly where his logic is coming from. Maybe for him 30 is a cut off. But I will disagree on age limits of "nonmarketable". I think it has more to do with attitude, personality, common interest. If he lets age be the deciding factor.........he needs to grow up.

I do get what you mean about "marketable" and I think at any age, anyone can be desirable to someone. It may not always be someone who is desirable to you. As far as having a larger share of the market I would think that depends on the individual and what they have to offer. The older you get, the more that you have accomplished along the way, as well as how well you've taken care of the vehicle you're making this trip in pay off more as your age progresses I would think. Not to many people turn their nose up at a mint condition '59 Corvette, but try to sell them a '59 Edsel with three flat tires and well.....
My dad btw met the love of his life at age 70, she was 80, and she was pure gold, the catch of a lifetime.

Oh definitely "yes". We are marketable a/k/a lovable a/k/a desirable. In fact, I receive a lot of emails from men in their 30's and 40's commenting about how much they prefer older women (granted some may be looking for Sugar Mamas). I always politely turn them away as I want someone closer to my own age.

I was the Executive Director of a luxury retirement community years ago and saw many, many happy marriages take place between couples who met in their 60's, 70's and 80's.
One of the 80+ year old ladies there had a bumper sticker on her car that kind of sums it up. It said "If things get better with age, I'm damned near perfect!" I LOVE IT!

That's Soooo sweet. I like the car analogy. I have more marketability at 51 than EVER before, cuz I'm a classic that has been well maintained. Vive le well aged!!

Wow Spumoni you look great! I would have guessed by your pictures you would be a lot younger.

Anyhow...


<div class="quote">I think at any age, anyone can be desirable to someone. It may not always be someone who is desirable to you

I agree with this....I think for the most part it comes down what you find attractive not necessarily age. Everyone has different preferences of what they find desirable.

I for one am much happier now than I ever was in my 20's. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to those days! Although I am not sure about the terminology used.. but I guess I would like to think someone out there would still find me "marketable"

Those really aren't so good for picking up hot young chicks.

Inevitable but irrelevant corollary conclusion: hot young chicks must not be people.

We all have a sense of innate value. That is why we get offended and angry when people are hurtful to us. Marketable might not be the best word... perhaps "appeal" would be a better choice of words.

Whether or not we are appealing to others shouldn't detract from our innate sense of value. Unfortunately, there are times it does. Depends on where you find your value; in your looks, intellect, monetarily, or in a more solid foundation.... your faith. Hard for someone to argue your state of "marketability" when Jesus died for you... Just my opinion, but has helped me to face this issue.

Well, OP, if there is any truth to that, I've only got a few months left to meet that definition of "marketable". Thing is, I think I've got my crap together WAY more than I did in my early twenties. I can't wait for my thirties to start!

Wait until he's 50, bald, and has a beer gut, and THEN let him ask that! Good grief! I'm 44, and that's the dumbest thing a guy can say. I have no problems getting a date.

Perhaps it's because women over 30 are more discreet about their lovelife. I am 56 and have no problem with my lovelife at all.

Sure, marketable to a different audience. A group that your roommate will someday join when he grows up.


Not necessarily, one can be perfecty grown up and conscious of selecting a mate better suited to child rearing.
