Are women marketable after age 30?

Sure they are, if they had had a c-section instead of normal delivery. Normal delivery makes them way too loose for good sex. Also, if their breasts don't hang down to their knees.

I don't agree with my roommate in the slightist. I was just curious what the majority thought is all. I know he can be a horses ass but again I don't agree with him as I myself am having the time of my life in my 30's.

Haha, I always love this generalization!
I got stitched up tighter than I was before I gave birth. Helps to have a 9lb 14oz kid and a 6th degree episiotomy I suppose.

I know I just grossed everyone out.

You need a new roommate. Your current one is a knucklehead.

I'm 56 and haven't had a problem finding nice guys to go out with. The problem, whether you're 26 or 56, is finding the right, most compatible, person to go out with.

Even young, hot-looking celebrities have problems finding the right person or hanging on to them, so I think age is relative.

Women's bods may not be as tight, etc, in their 30's but the maturity , etc that goes with a woman who is still holding up really well body wise in her 30's is WAAAAY preferable to those in their 20's.

It's when they are over 40 where nature usually becomes cruel.

It is my firm opinion that once women turn 30, they should be herded together and sent to a farm where they can spin wool, knit, and bake pies and cookies for the rest of their lives.

Damn parasites, make them work to earn their keep. Since men don't want them anymore, of what good are they, anyway?

Oh, and they could quilt and make jam.

OP: You and your roommate need to get out more.

Being 36, I'm usually (there have been exceptions) not even interested in women in their 20's. Seriously, when the profile reads:

"I like chillaxin, beer, partying, dancing, clubbing , 4x4ing on the beach, UFC , and hanging with my friends."

Where in there do you find a woman who is actually interested in getting her Masters, changing the world for the better or even simply making a mortgage payment? Women in their 30's (generally, again) have a fairly good idea of where they want to go and who they want to go with. *That's* what I'm attracted to...

Oh and red hair, but that's *my* insanity, so leave me alone.

marketable! bad choice of words. I'm in my 50's and consider myself to be
attractive and smart. smarter than I ever was when I was in my 20's and 30's. we as
women ought to stop being worried about who might want us and look at the point that
there are very slim pickins if you want someone on your own level. Thats why so many
men like the young girls, they haven't had enough experiance to read between the lines
and realize that alot of men are players. Any man worth my time needs to appreciate
that we are like a fine wine the more aged the better the experiance. real women know
what they want and that scares alot of men. too bad they are missing out on the real
thing.

Not when one is into real bodies and humans
and not perfection and lifeless/barbie dolls.

The human body is almost always beautiful and sexy women are always sexy, IMO.
Some men want to make love to real humans not nip/tuck or dollie dolls!

Mature womens' bodies have character, but one has to love WOMEN to appreciate that. Like classical music.

It is not nature that is cruel. Just some people. They are not marketable, at any age!

OP - this is great, the thread is 4 pages long. I love debates Seriously, yeah at times, I miss the bod that I had when I was 20 something, I didn't have to reach out to WD-40 to get my joints going. I didn't have white hair in my eyebrows then, and every square inch of my body was where it was suppose to be. Yet, the mind was puzzling. In my 20's and early 30's, I worried about "impressing". I worried about seeking "approval", and "status quo". At my age, I'm comfortable in my own skirt, shorts, jeans, skin (naked) or anything in-between. Because I know what I want out of life, and I live by the philosophy of "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". I'm not concerned with what others think, because when it comes down to it, others don't have the time of day to think about "what is ksue44 doing today". I am sought after because I bring experience, wisdom, joy, and a sense of well being to the table.

At some point in our lives, hell, it's either the mind or the body that craps out. I'd rather my body crap out and keep my mind!

A firm believer that comes wisdom with age... And with that being known, could it be that the 30 plus crowd had no interest in him. At 39...the market is booming, lol.

Sorry to pull the Scientist's Bill of Rights out -- if it exists, it exists to some degree, and that ought to be measured -- but exactly how much are people getting for their thirty year-olds these days?

If we aren't marketable in our 30's then what happens in our 40's????? Having recently turned 40 myself .... inquiring minds want to know.
I can tell you this - I weep for the girl I was in my 20's and embrace the journey I took in my 30's. Yes, time & gravity have taken their toll but I am so in love with myself now..... in fact, why am I even here???? I think I will just date myself!

I miss the bod that I had when I was 20 something,


I don't miss my 20 something body--it often weighed 200 pounds and continued to grow until I reached 43.

When a market is played out, one merely looks for a new market. From the lofty age of 54, I can attest that the markets are not played out. Of course, it also matters what one is "selling," and that is from the viewpoint of both sexes.

Believe it or not, men get old and decrepit every bit as fast as do women.


I'd rather my body crap out and keep my mind!


Sue, awomen to that.

Women are marketable at any age. You just have to increase the budget for advertising and packaging.

The budget for packaging or advertising may or may not get increased but the money spent is usually for much classier advertising. The latest trends don't matter as much since the clothes aren't made for real women in most cases. They seem do be designed for my daughter who is 12, 5' tall, and only weighs 75 lbs.

Personally, even when I was young, I always thought the most beautiful women were 28+ and the age goes up as I get older.

When I was 20-something - I didn't worry about jack $hit. I don't understand the 20-something "drama" assumption. My life was problem free and awesome. The only problems in my life were those of my 30-something boyfriend. And, when we ended, I was annoyed for a while that he took the "best years of my life" (21-27). My body was hot and tight, my mind was free and unburdened, my joy and zest for life was alive and full of lust (lust for life). Drama begins when babies start being birthed and a history of cheating exes has to be overanalyzed. I wish 30+-somethings just knew how to exist without overthinking every aspect of life like a young pup can.

Have you ever seen More Magazine? It is geared towards women over 40. All of their models are as well. Some advertising and articles are classy, sometimes condescending. It is a mixed bag. Anyway, they do make a good effort with it all, including their fashion, although I don't always agree. Also, when most magazines, feature fashions, one must either be a CEO or celebrity to afford them. That is the case here too. I do have to commend them for throwing in a token Target item now and then.

I can only speak for myself, a woman who's looking at "30" from a long-distance, rear-view mirrror. "Marketing" at any age, sounds like a bit of mistake to me. I think I'll pass. A man "discovering" me, howevever, is very appealing. That's why I realliy like this post:


GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN
Between 18 and 22, a wo man is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile soil.
Between 23 and 30, a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.
Between 31 and 35, a woman is like India, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.
Between 36 and 40, a woman is like France, gently aging; but still warm and a desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all-conquering past.
Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Yugoslavia, lost some wars, won some great battles but haunted by past mistakes, still very strong and proud.
Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Russia, very wide and borders are now largely un-patrolled.
After 70, she becomes Tibet. Off the beaten path, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages... still desirable but only those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge and true love, dare visit there.

Oh, that was nice. Especially since I'm landing in the twilight of Great Britain - "a glorious and and all-conquering past" - and Yugoslavia - "lost some wars, won some great battles, but hanted by past mistakes, still very strong and proud."

Wow. Nice. I can only strive. And look forward to the Russia thing (sounds fun) and Tibet (dare ya, dare ya!).

OK, OT: Some women are definately "marketable" - as in, "in demand," after age 30. Some are not, but it really has very little to do with chronological age.

Mature women can be the complete package, while we are still measuring the potential of ladies (and men) in their 20s. Don't think the learning stops at 40 either. Life is a learning journey and the book is never closed on yourself until your last breath.

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


Beautiful answer!
