A common statement in the manosphere is that women "peak" at age 18-25 while men "peak" at age 35-45 and continue to age like "fine wine" until they die of old age.
But how does a man peak at age 35-45? What on earth does a 35-45 year old man have to offer an 18-25 year old woman besides money?
Older men are not more likely to want to get married. They are not more likely to appreciate your youth and beauty so much that they treat you like a queen and spoil you rotten. They aren't more attractive than they were at age 25. They have more baggage, anger issues, paranoia, and emotional problems.
I don't know what delusional world middle aged men live in. There is nothing a man who is 10, 20, 30, 40 years older than me can offer besides money.
Whenever I ask men of the manosphere to come up with 5 things that an older man offers that a younger man can't, they can't come up with an answer. They go off on raging rants, dodge the question, and come up with a million and one clapbacks that have nothing to do with the question asked.
The only reason to consider an older man is for money. Men don't age like fine wine. They die long before women do. Both of my grandmothers were widowed for over 20 years. So if you're getting with an older man, make sure he's leaving all of his money to you and has a life insurance policy to help pay for the home and your child's education. Also, you'll have a higher chance of having a disabled child by getting with an older man, and you will need even more money to deal with that situation. If men truly aged better than women, they'd die later not earlier. Don't fall for their propaganda BS.
On r/breakups I once read this same rethoric in the comment section of a post written by a middle aged man who was dumped by his partner. He basically explained how the break up was crushing him, so one guy left a comment saying that women age like milk and that no one will want his ex partner because she was 45 and had a kid. He even went as far as to say that for older men it was easier to get women and that the OP should be able to land a much younger and hotter woman in no time. Since this was reddit, of course that comment was upvoted to the top. What was surprising is that the OP basically called out the bs. He replied to the comment saying that men should stop living in this weird fantasy cause 1) his ex was hot shit at 45 and could have all the dick she wanted. And 2) life does not get easier for older men even when they have money. OP said that he was crushed and depressed, had no friends and no family and even with money he couldn't find a connection like the one he had with his ex. He couldn't get dates or make women, of any age, interested in him.
My point is: men who have a least a little bit of life experience in the real world know what's up. They know that they get lonelier as the age and besides money, they have nothing to offer to women. Most young women won't even look at an older man if he was poor and rich men know it. Average guys don't even stand a chance, not with the younger or the older women, unless they work on the personalities and we all know how much men love to look within themselves and be better🙄 No wonder why men are in the middle of a loneliness crisis.
Well. They don’t peak at 35-45. They peak at 20 to 25. From 20 they look decent but at 25 they start to lose their boyish charm and transform in some man-child gremlin with their male pattern baldness.
Women peak at 20-25 Only when they put up with men. Single women who get plenty of sleep and have heaps of time for themselves always Look better than married women and used up baby mama’s.
And sometimes they don’t even have money to offer (but will make you think they do and then are happy to mooch off you). I unfortunately have had experience with this. The only other argument I’ve heard (from older men, who else) is that older men “know what they want” and “are more likely to be serious about you” (lol they’re more manipulative and know how to string you along better). There’s nothing an older man can offer than a younger man can’t. You are right in that they have more baggage and are more bitter (funny enough, the very same thing they accuse older women of being…no surprise males projecting yet again).
Wasn't it Jane Austen who wrote about a (obv fictional) marriage where the man was too old to be of much use but too young to do the useful thing as leave a wealthy widow?
She knew what was up. Mr Darcy was HV - he worked at making her life better without any hope of reward, or Elizabeth even knowing about how he helped out. Best romance novel imo
Not going to lie, I am still attracted to silver foxes! Also happy to admire from a distance and no desire to be noticed back. But having married a much older man, and been a caregiver and now a widow, never ever again. I’m okay with 10 years younger but max five years older than me.
Men don't age like fine wine they are just allowed to age in our fu**** up society and we women aren't.
I would also be wary of associating “older” automatically with “money”.
It has shocked me how rapidly men lose their youthful good looks by 1) gaining weight (years of bad diet catches up with them) 2) losing muscle mass 3) balding 4) no skin care 5) lack of grooming. All of those things can be addressed by taking care of yourself. I am heading into my late 30s and I look better than I did 10 years ago.
I wouldn’t really say anyone peaks at a certain age. It certainly depends from person to person. Do I think most women age better than men? Absolutely. That phrase is kinda creepy to me ("x person peaks at this age") because I think men excuse their predatory behavior by using this phrase. They will going after young women in their late teens and early 20s by stating “they’re in their peak,” or “women at that age are more fertile.” It’s just weird. Just some food for thought 💭
I thought everyone knew this. That's why there's sugar daddies. Young women won't even date them without expecting money, sometimes for nothing at all.
