Yes the idea that women “expire” past a certain age while men get better with age is tied to pedophilic beauty standards set by men and the idea that a woman’s only worth is tied to her appearance.
But it’s also just not true. The opposite is true if anything. I mean, like the 20 step skincare routines are extreme, but women are taking care of themselves, mentally and physically, on a level men just are not. Which of the sexes is more likely to always wear sunscreen and moisturize? Which of the sexes is more likely to eat a healthy balanced diet and stretch often? Which of the sexes is more likely to care about drinking water? Which of the sexes is more likely to be self aware and make a commitment to self improvement and helping out in their community? Guys in their 20’s are already balding, addicted to porn, and refuse to self reflect and curb their vices. I think in 20 years we’ll see a lot of (straight) couples where it looks like there’s a problematic age gap even when there isn’t because of the drastic differences in lifestyles. Oh and older single men aren’t a catch. I do not buy the whole “silver fox” myth. There’s probably a reason they’ve been single for so long and they repel women their own age. They’ll be out here, living like they’re still 23 but feeling entitled to a wife and children
