The Shelf Life of a Woman

Most of us know that women have a shelf-life. Here is a summary of the phases before, during, and after it, at least in terms of how date-able they are. This doesn't necessarily apply if you're in a LTR or married to the woman, although some aspects of it may show up in those situations.

Age 0-7
This is the infancy of a woman. They learn how to walk, talk, and most importantly, discover they have emotions! The groundwork of their personality is laid out here. If their father has walked out on them, this is when daddy issues will be deeply rooted. If they are sexually abused, this is where their sexual problems will be rooted. When these kinds of things happen in this age range, they will be 100% defective product during the rest of the phases. This defectiveness can also occur during the 8-12 range, but it may not be as apparent.

Age 8-12
This is the "crush" phase. Girls realize they have feelings, especially when it comes to cute boys. They develop crushes, believe in the fantasies they see in Disney movies, and become excited at the prospect of kissing boys. Some of the girls who become defective in this stage will begin kissing boys, and a few will have sex.

Age 13-16
The puberty phase. They start getting their periods, growing breasts, getting pubic hair, and begin experimenting with high school dating. Many lose their virginity in this phase. They will also get their hearts broken and go through extreme emotional fluctuation even though the cause may be insignificant. Some will become pregnant and be forced into early adulthood, speeding up their "maturity".

Age 17-22
This is the "party" phase. It could also be coined as the "experimentation" phase. They start getting into drinking, drugs, staying out late, having huge groups of friends, and fvcking just for the sake of fun and experimentation. This is the point where a woman may develop deep-rooted addictions. Many will "grow out" of it. More become pregnant than the previous age range. A few may marry.

Age 23-27
This is "The Sweet Spot" or "Prime Shelf Time", at least with regards to the women who manage to avoid defects, addiction, and pregnancy. This is when a woman is ripe for picking with regards to LTRs. She is most likely done with her party phase, not too jaded against men, still has her looks intact, and also doesn't fully realize the countdown to her expiry with regards to child-bearing. Many will marry and become mothers in this phase. Some will also get divorced and/or become single parents.

Age 28-35
The "declining shelf-life" phase. Her appearance begins to degrade, her biological clock begins to tick louder, and she becomes more jaded towards men as her impending infertility approaches. Marriage, divorce, and pregnancy are still rampant in this phase.

Age 36-40
The "Last Chance" phase. Looks are rapidly declining or have already deteriorated, the biological clock has become unbearably loud, and many women in this phase will become extremely bitter about men. The women who focused on their career instead of finding a mate during all the other phases may be lower-mileage sexually, but will have high expectations when it comes to the men they date, even though their prime shelf life is pretty much over. Childless women will be desperate to fulfil their need to have a baby before the biological clock runs out. Many marriages end, divorce is high, and there are many single mothers in this range.

Age 41+
Expiry. Menopause begins to kick in. A few will manage to get pregnant, but will likely be single mothers for the next 15-20 years. Bitterness towards men will cause many women to become "born again virgins" for the rest of their lives. Many "cat ladies" evolve during expiry. Divorce continues, and many single mothers will continue to date but never commit to a man. Some may find a partner to share their lives with, but it will mostly be to avoid "dying alone". When couples form during this "dying alone" scare, they begin to put up with all the defects of their partner and settle for "good enough".

Saw a tv show about Granny escorts, many of whom were working well into their 70s and 80s. Some of them were doing reasonably well, have a feeling this is going to be fairly common in the future. While most of their clients were in an age breakup within a decade or two of their own, with a few younger men, this kind of gives you a bit of an idea of the future.

Always good to know where you stand with a woman. If you are hitting it off with a woman nearing the wall is it because she likes you or she's desperate?

Likewise when young men try to latch onto young girls when their SMV is the lowest (usually) the women correctly perceive it as desperate and are turned off. Crazy huh.

Maybe in 13-16 or 17-22 range, they begin to experience the power that their looks as a young female have. They see men of all ages giving them extra attention, through smiles, compliments, and approaches. Many realize they are able to receive special treatment in their day-to-day settings simply for being female (the prettier ones get even more special treatment). These are the good times for a young woman's self-esteem, a stark contrast to their self-esteem in later age ranges.

You can probably word this better than I

I think it starts even earlier than that. If everyone's telling an 4 year old girl how cute she is, she'll use it to get her way with adults. It's completely natural for kids to push their limits, but girls will realize their 'cuteness' wins over adults, and that NEVER goes away until they fully realize that gravity has pulled their tits down to their knees and repeated tanning has caused the skin on her face to took like a leathery golf ball.

I think some women in their 40s have definitely still got it. They can have the additional experience, maturity and confidence a younger woman may not have.

Think Gwenyth Paltrow.

I think it starts even before their looks develop or anything to do with sexuality. Women are masters of psychology from a very young age. Your average 5 yr old school girl would already be figuring out how to influence people before most boys figured out what day of the week it was.
I don't know if it is learned from the mom or genetic.

Many women have still "got it" in their 50's. If they don't, they often didn't have it when they were 20, either. :)

Imo i think the shelf life decline begins after 25 now

If they have a kid around this age and become a single mother the decline seems to accelerate rapidly

Because of social media girls are enabling their sexual prowess a lot younger now some of the kids i see in the UK must be 15-16 dressing like they are 21

Women are not exempt from supply / demand metrics and supply to me looks like it's at saturation stage

Everywhere i look there seems to be an attractive woman , i can't say i noticed this 10 years ago

Rollo Tomassi has called the earlier part of this, roughly 28-32, the Epiphany Phase. @Desdinova's descriptions are close to Rollo's.


Age 36-40
The "Last Chance" phase. Looks are rapidly declining or have already deteriorated, the biological clock has become unbearably loud, and many women in this phase will become extremely bitter about men.

In 2022, this is women born between 1982-1986, which represents the earliest Millennials.

10 years ago, I think there were more single moms in this phase than there are now. A lot of White Millennial women born in this time got educated and never had babies. The Millennials haven't been as fertile as prior generations, even less so than Gen X women, who weren't all that fertile.


Millennials have dealt with 2 major period of cultural and economic upheaval. 2008-12 and 2020-present. Economic concerns reduce pregnancies.
