'Mid-30s power flip' is no myth

I told my 17-year-old daughter that I was going to start writing this column. "Just like Carrie Bradshaw?" she squealed. I had not seen her so excited since I had announced a decade ago that our fami…

At the dating service I ran, the male-female ratio always formed a perfect bell-shaped curve. At the top of the bell was the mid-30s where there was an even number of men and women.

Under age 33 we would start to have more men than women, and the ratio increased dramatically in the 20s, where the men would far outnumber the women. Over age 37, we would start attracting more women than men, and the ratio would increase dramatically into the 40s and even more so in the 50s.

So, between the ages of 33-37 is when the "Battle of the Sexes" really turns. Up to that point, women have the edge. In the mid-30s, the "battle" is fought evenly. From about 38 and over, men take over.

I would say women say battle of the sexes turns right at 30, Maybe if the girl is hot or famous, 33 maximum, but after that, it flips.

Thoughts?

Unless you like old women then it's completely irrelevant. When a woman hits the wall, everyone loses. Men as a whole have failed to protect women from themselves, and our generation have to pay for our father's sins. Luckily, where there is turmoil there's opportunity.

Thoughts? Dating a woman over age 33 (actually a good bit younger) is evolutionarily maladaptive.

1. If men in their late 30s/early 40s start to gain more power, it is only with dating women close to their own age. Leading into Point #2....
2. Swipe apps have more or less negated Point 1. Women 35-40 generate a lot of options on swipe apps and have enough DMs inside their inboxes on Instagram. The typical woman age 35-40 now is not at all like urban big city women of 1998-2004 (the years when Sex and the City aired).

More cope.

If you are waiting til your 40 to finally have more dating options than women your age you are going to be sorely disappointed.

 

[Smok1nAce]

the only dating advice I got first hand growing up (not on internet) was...

the good ones get scooped up quickly (from my older brother, implying good women get married young) and make sure to wear a condom (from my dad, implying women will trap you with a baby).

id say nothing has changed.

IMO there are NO women worse than mid-30s women ~33-39. At this age, they develop the "I'm Miss Independent Alpha Queen and no matter who or what i have I deserve better". They tend to be married and do their cheating and/or divorcing in this time frame. They are gonna show the world "I don't need no man". They are gonna jump on the CC and have some fun because they have been SO abused and treated so unfairly. They have mis-manged their money into oblivion and probably had a bankruptcy or two or three by now.

Women older than ~39 and into the early and mid 40s tend to loosen up relative to the 30s. That's because they have learned by this time that their \{}/ doesn't have near the value in society it once did. They can ride the CC but not with the same men they used to. They've learned that they are not so independent as they once thought after life gives them continued beatdowns with no mercy. They realize that they really do need men to get through the tough issues. They realize that being alone isn't so much fun. Not only do they realize that their ( . )( . ) don't have as much value to men anymore the kids are young adults now and don't need them either. That child support has ran out. That $10/hr gas station job or that $15.00/hr BS office job doesn't cut the mustard anymore (it never did). If they have a better job it's because they have svcked d|ck to get it and they really don't like it. So in conclusion they tend to be more realistic with their expectations and submit to not being so "independent" after all, which makes them nicer people to be around relative to women in their mid 30s.

This is Logicallefty's observation and personal experience. I quoted myself from another thread from 2020 that I wrote, with a few edits. @SW15 This is what I mentioned a couple days ago that you wanted me to elaborate on.

I'm approaching 40 myself. Having been out of the loop for a while, with a couple of LTRs, I still have to test the waters lately. Generally never had problems attracting women of all ages. Though here seemingly is the current rub, which doesn't seem to have changed;

-Modern western women are not taught about their SMV shelf life. Thus they assume that the Disney Princess fairytale just goes on forever. There are exceptions to the rule, and it seems some are waking up to the idea; my last two girlfriends mentioned were conscious of looking after themselves for the longer term, and seemingly for the sake of their love lives.

-Younger women are conditioned to reject older, more eligible men on the grounds of being inappropriate, such is the incessant propoganda around s3xual violence.

(Most) Western people younger than 30, male or female, do not seem to be very suited or matured for a lifetime commitment. The thirties themselves are quite a transitional decade, especially the latter half. The true s3xual-social optimum seem to be F(30-35) plus M(35-50).
What other men get up to at whatever point in time is really of no consequence to me. Though for women, I will continue to deal with any 21+, but will unlikely be having an LTR with anyone (far) outside of the above age range.

I’ve noticed that older women aren’t into pleasing a man and trying new things as much as younger women are. You can tell women 29 and under all your fetishes and fantasies and they’ll be open to it, 33+ women? Nope, won’t consider anything you want.

Very true. In addition to not caring if they please their man in the bedroom, a lot of them aren’t even cooking anymore either. My two grandpas and my dad had three meals a day cooked for them seven days a week like clockwork. If it was at work day then it got packed to take to work. Some women cook like a couple times a year now.
