Are women "marketable" after age 30?
Posted: 7/24/2007 4:01:39 PM
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.

While there are definitely some men out there who will turn up their noses at women over 30 not all are like that. I just turned 33 and have no trouble finding dates. You have to go after the right men though . Don't bother with the overly picky ones who at 55 still think they are all that and a bag of chips .

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

women are not a commodity...some members of our gender like to wrap themselves in glitter with very little substance inside, and those girls only encourage the fantasy and objectification of women. i hate princesses. those fluffy trophy girls will eventually age and her looks will wane, then what's left? attitude, or even worse a void, and without the looks that made men overlook those shortcomings when she was younger. (don't get me wrong, there are gorgeous women with substance too...but those aren't the girls i'm referring to.)

any man with half an ounce of wit will realize that emotional and intellectual compatibility, affection and respect, are far more important and valueable than aesthetics. sure some level of attraction is needed, but forget the airbrushed model fantasy cuz most of the fussiest guys aren't "all that and a bag of chips" either ; )

He is in his late 30's and goes after the younger women always to get hurt in the end. We have had several disscusions on this. He tends to go after the ones that are out for a good time no commitment party all the time girls. And he wonders why he's alone'. Haha what I ment by "marketable" is are we still viable dateable desireable women after the age of 30?

I completely agree, maturity only enhances attraction in a woman. It dosent always have to be factor determined by age, but usually is.

Never thought of women as being “marketable.” Every so often I find a woman who is “loveable,” though.

Well I'm 55 and am all that and 1.5 bags of chips. I don't date women that are in their 30s. I prefer them a bit more seasoned. I don't know about women in their 30s being over all the drama....there are women of all ages who are still drama queens....and there are women younger than thirty that aren't into drama. Ther is no cut off point...no average. people are people...you can't put them into one box. Jim

Wassn't implying that all women in their 30's is over their drama...as everyone has it in their lives. Was saying that most of the time it isn't as prominint in their lives as it is in that of someone who is in their 20's. Just like I am not saying that women are "for sale" so to speak. Was just curious on people's opinions is all.

Well said girlfriend. I just turned the magical 40 here in early July and let me tell you, I am youthful, attractive and am living quite a comfy life. It is about going after the right men though, as the differnce for that sex when they turn 30 is -- is he still a boy or has he developed into a man. I am still very much in demand and am marketable and am well over 30, ladies JUST DO IT!!!!! Cheers, Nike Girl

Last time I went to the livestock auction the were no women over thirty for sale......or under thirty for that matter.

Women are marvelous creatures that are DESIREABLE (not marketable) at EVERY age.......for different reasons to different groups of men. Thats not PC either, Just more accurate.

Well...I'm 43 and still getting bids, but they don't matter to me the way they did when I was twenty. And nor -I'd have to say - would the lack of them.

it always amazes me how people always gotta find a reason to be self defeating. what does it matter what age u r, people in their 80s are still marketable. chances are there r people out there and single, or justout of a rel, same age as u r, or at least workable age difference.

plus, if we spend our lives looking for love and getting so hung on coupling, then we didnt do enough therapy to understand life is about you eing happy, not about HAVING TO be w someone. am not saying its not fun, but did u notice how people always worry about the most trivial shit? what ifs and omg what if i donts are self defeating attitudes. i think not worrying about everything and taking it all a day at a time, to see what happens, is more productive

Marketable is an interesting term. I am not sure I understand how it is meant.
I will say however to my sisters out there 30 and over. It is what you make it. I feel that women become more of a complete package the older they get. The current over fifty generation is the largest ever. Women now days take better care of themselves and have been spoon fed huge quantities of knowledge on how to do that , mentally, physically and spiritually. I am 54 and have been widowed for two years. I was terrified of the thought of dating and rejection. What I have found amazes me. On this site, the majority of men who contact me are in their 30's and 40's. It is very flattering and at first I thought it was a bit suspicious but it boils down to something very simple that jadedgreen touches on in her comments, Men hate drama. Most men think women my age are over the parts of their lives where hormone storms dominate actions. Some younger men want a mamma, some are attracted to the thought that older women "know more" (I am not sure what it is we know but it sounds good).
I have dated younger men, and men my own age and while younger guys are fun. I find more in common with men my own age, I am more comfortable.
So,, yes over thirty you are marketable, you are like fine wine, you get better with age and don't let anyone make you believe otherwise.
