When the flattery ends...

[Naughty Ninja]

When the flattery ends for a beautiful girl/woman and their looks start to fade is when the insecurites buried deep inside start to surface.

Why? Because hiding behind beauty that is now gone forces them to deal with not receiving special treatment or as many compliments on their looks, their true inner self surfaces then along come the insecurities and desperation.

Notice after a certain age alot of good looking women are in a mad scramble to get married AFTER they've had their "fun" with the 'bad boys' or 'experimenting' and are looking for the 'nice guy' to take care of them? Now they've decided to "woman" up, learned their 'lesson' and seek the dweeb to be their 'knight in shining armour' and spend the rest of their lives with them, have their kids (if they don't have kids already), while in your younger years spent your life going unnoticed by these types?

Do you want to be that guy?

This might be a little off topic, but I'll spin this a bit. Mrs.5string is a knockout for her age (same as me). 5'5" 115lbs. 38/24/38 blonde and green. She's petite. I wish I'd have known her 20 yrs ago, just to see how she looked back then. She's still "got it" but is now critical of her appearance now that she has a few wrinkles and other imperfections. I can tell this troubles her a bit as I can only imagine how really hot she was back then. No doubt had plenty of attention from guys throughout her life. Many a woman is "shaped" by how others view their beauty. They are taught that appearance is most important. What they are not taught is how it fades over time. Some will never be prepared for it, let alone accept it. To her credit, she was never in a hurry to get married. She was divorced for 23 yrs before I came along. All of the women within 20-25 years of her age comment often on her figure and how she has kept her looks. I'm a normal guy, not a dweeb or a geek. I am a prize and she knows it. One thing I don't do is comment on her looks much. I might tell her she looks nice or something but that's about it. Drives her a bit crazy, as I think as she's probably been used to getting comments from men who were orbiting or otherwise sniffin on her. Lesson? If you have a good looking gal, keep all the praise and compliments to a minimum. Keeps em on their toes and wondering what you really think.

Tom Leykis has volumes upon volumes of radio shows talking about this.
Women who have had "all their fun and are now looking to settle". Usually these are the same women with online profiles that read the following: "Tired of the bar scene and looking for a nice guy to share my life with".

Translation: My odometer is reading over 200,000 miles. Anyone want to buy a used Pinto that's about to fall apart?

At age 29, I date women between 23 - 31.
As I get older, that age bracket won't change for me, but women that age will still be eager to go out with me. As I get older, older women will most likely try to shame me into marrying "someone my age" or "settling down". To be honest, if I'm still single at age 40, I'd rather do that with someone who is 25 than someone who is 35. Why should I have to deal with a depreciating asset when my value would still be rising?
