| Are women marketable after age 30?
Posted: 7/25/2007 9:13:09 PM | | As for marketability ending at 30..... 40 is supposedly the new 30. I've heard that older women and yonger men are all the rage these days. | |

And he overwhelming has a very high divorce rate as well from those younger women once they get too "old" for him....Who wants that except a shallow playboy who just wants to have fun but no long term comittment....Younger women partners dont neccessarily mean staying power....The eye candy doesnt last forever but maturity and compatibility does ...Im wanting someone for the long haul, not what I look like as trophy beside him for the moment. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 9:21:33 PM | I've met some women that I feel will never be 'marketable'. And it isn't because of their age or looks.
I'm not in full agreement with the word marketable, you ladies aren't for sale. A smart man will know what he has in front of him regardless of her age. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 10:11:37 PM | | As we all get older it seems that men become more selective, since men are the agressers. I still haven't seen women become agressive yet by asking men out. So I don't see much happening among the men and women that I know. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 11:22:04 PM | The OP wrote ... ***My roommate and I had this disscusion the other night and I would like opinions on this. He says that after 30 women are no longer "marketable'?***
And he is in his late 30's? Interesting!! He's right! We wait until we are in our 40's and then THAT'S when we realize that little boys with a thought process like him don't have what it takes to make women happy ... and we move on to the real men!!
Obviously your roomie isn't thinking ... the female '40' has been steadily turning into the new '20' this decade .. he better catch up. ! Women well into their 30's and past that are totally desireable ... but he wouldn't understand how that works.

Posted: 7/25/2007 11:33:59 PM | Just my own experience as a 43 year old relatively newly "marketable man." :-)
There are currently more people living alone and living together unmarried than married. Ponder that for a minute.
Of course the age doesn't matter - there are millions and millions of us "available fish" out there. No one dies or becomes unattractive or undateable because they turn a certain age and my experience is that people buy and read WAY too much into the common stereotypes and myths out there.
In my own case, after dating and chatting with about eight woman it's becoming clear to me that my ideal match may likely be someone who is in the stage of life I am.
Someone who may already have young ones like I do and started having the kids "late", not someone whose kids are already off to college and who wants to travel and party all the time. And not some one who has young ones and is just starting off in life.
That means someone in the 30s or 40s for me. | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 11:43:36 PM | I hope so, otherwise I might as well just slit my wrists right now and get it over with!
I find the older I get the less tolerance I have for the drama that often comes with 20 somethings, I want someone with their proverbial sh*t together.
the most "marketable" single ppl I know , are in their 30's and 40's so thats a resounding YES from me! | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 12:06:19 AM | Are you kidding me. I have had way more better dates with women over the age of 30. They are very sexy and fullfilling at that age. The humor that is brought out, kills me. I would say that at that age, they are VERY "marketable". | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 2:01:54 AM | | Being a woman over 30 I can say you are more sensual, feminine, open, and have the wisdom to know one does get better with age. Are we marketable? Thats honestly something I have never, ever concerned myself with in the 52 yrs. I have exsisted on this earth. | |

Well said. Especially the latter part of the quote on the effect of stereotypes. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 2:34:58 AM | The reason why men say your not marketable is because they want you to feel so low and desperate that they can pick you up without doing any work for it. There are some men that like you to feel like shit. Because when they can put you down their****feels bigger.
I dont have any problems finding any men, I do have problems finding decent men. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 2:56:06 AM | Don't know..... never really never thought of putting myself up for sale. Now there is an idea shall i put myself on ebay and see how much i will bring?... what you reckon 99p start bid?... lol
No offence to the poster of this forum or anything, just adding my views on the topic that's all with no digs or nastyness to anyone intended. It was a good subject to raise so credit where credit is due. I agree on a few points that in your 30's you do know what you want/don't want from life.. I know i do!, although some people may still be finding their way on that score. Don't get me wrong but i find people in late 30's and above that state prefered ages on here being 20+ a little disturbing but maybe its the fact that some people so young may be naive and gullible so it easier to deceive them??or an ego boost etc for the older person??..... who know the reasons, each to their own i suppose and i got to respect that, although i would not be pleased if i had a son or daughter in their 20's that came home with her new "considerably older" boyfriend/girlfriend.
Personally I dont care if now by being 38 if i'm "marketable" or not i'm a human being who isnt up for sale at any price.
Take care all x | |

When a man is free to choose, he overwhemingly chooses a much younger woman
This is a sublimely ridiculous statement.
When is a man in the Western world NOT free to choose whom he marries? Are arranged marriages still taking place behind my back? Damn, someone should have told me so I could have arranged marriages for both my sons.
I have been back in the dating game for almost two years and have dated men from the ages of 30 to 62 {and lived with a man the same age my sons for several years before that). The problem is not marketing myself or finding men to date, is finding men who are acceptable. In fact, I attract and date MANY more men now than I did in my teens before I became engaged to my ex husband because I have more confidence and I actually look better now than I did then because I am not obese. I read post after post of people whining about being too fat, too good-looking, too this, too that, but attitude is where it is, people.
What makes a woman or a man "marketable"? (I detest that word because it reduces women to pieces of meat, but I use it because it is the terminology of the OP's roomie.) Is it merely age or is it a combination of factors? Is a 300 pound, 21 year old woman more attractive than a slim 45 year old woman? Is a 25 year old woman who is devoid of brains a better catch than an intelligent 35 year old woman?
A man my age who prefers a 20 year old bimbo because of her age over an intelligent and educated woman is not a man who would interest me--in other words, he isn't marketable. I can understand why a younger man would choose a younger woman because other factors, such as the ability to have children, comes into play.
"Marketability" is subjective, just as attractiveness is subjective.
Also, it isn't just a man's market any longer . . . women are not passive objects to be graded and stamped like beef. We have the ability to choose, as well, and that is frightening to some men. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 5:50:56 AM | I'm more marketable now at 49 than I was at 29. I also seem to attract much younger men - who don't go off and leave me for a younger woman. Usually it's me that moves on and past them. NOt saying this to brag as it's not my nature but to set things straight. I'm more sure and confidant and comfortable with myself now and that makes a huge difference on how "marketable" you are. Good grief! to the originator of this post - GET REAL!!!! | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 5:52:24 AM | Again -- what are these women over 30 trying to market themselves as
life companions, brood mare, **** toy ?
a 35 year old woman isnt as marketable as a baby machine as a 25 year old is
its a simple biological fact | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 8:06:11 AM | When I was barely 20 , a woman in her early 30's seemed ancient to me. I think the older one gets the more forgiving of the aging process one is. I'm not in my 50's yet and I've seen women this age and older at the beach....not attractive to me - definitely not what I'd call " sexy ". But...for my sake, I hope my perspective on this changes by then or I'm screwed, cuz the last time I checked my last name wasn't HEFNER.

Posted: 7/26/2007 8:08:41 AM | If you really look at a woman you cant beat a women who is over 35.
If you want a flaky 20 year old and all the drama and pain in the butt that goes with them I say good luck.
But for me. There is NO WAY I would ever date a woman who is under 30 again (Thank God)
If your so lucent that you can't handle an older woman its probably because your afraid of her out smarting you.

Too many headaches. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 8:28:29 AM | "i do recall reading once that men prefer young......over mangy old tabby in general"
Older women are not mangy tabbies..but sleek, fun felines!...Any man that chooses beauty solely over brains and wit and charm in a woman isnt "marketable" to me....As another poster said here, women have the power to choose as well and as we become wiser, we arent choosing shallow, immature types like the OP's friend..It shows he doesnt value intelligence and wit very much in a woman, which is a major turnoff for me.....Lessor women can have him because he certainly isnt "valuable" to me!

Posted: 7/26/2007 8:28:54 AM | | Seriously, what is this "drama" that all these 20-somethings have going on in their lives?? Of all the age groups, I would say that 20-somethings have the least amount of drama. They are less likely to have children, less likely to have a laundry list of exes, less likely to have ever been married, less likely to have "been hurt - so now they're on guard and can't 'trust' others." They are less likely to have experienced or project upon another all of the many forms of "drama" that people post about on these forums. So, what are you all talking about? | |

My roommate and I had this disscusion the other night and I would like opinions on this. He says that after 30 women are no longer "marketable'? I tend to dissagree. 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. There is all the "drama" associtated with the 20's genre. Not saying that women in their 30's don't have drama but it isn't as prominent in most cases. Please any feed back would be great.
This is a joke, right? | |
