A woman who takes care of herself can continue to look good into their 40s and 50s. I just started seeing a women my age (early 50s) and she actually looks pretty good, nice body for her age... but you can tell she is in her 50s. We like the same music, enjoy the same activities... she has her own kids who are older and have moved on with their own lives, has her own productive and happy life, she's not looking for anything serious... not looking for a man to bail her out of some self-created sh1t show of debt or chaos. This could last awhile.
Where older women go sideways is when they become bitter, let themselves go, and surround themselves with like-minded b1tchy old friends and cats.
Okay, I love my country, have actually shed blood protecting it... and while we have problems the USA, IMO is the best available of all potential options. That does not mean we don't have problems. The biggest problem is that we are almost completely driven by consumerism. We are CONSTANTLY being assaulted by advertising and feed the message from a young age that the way to happiness is to buy sh1t. Advertising attempts to tap into your emotional decision making... and since women are by nature, more emotional... they are more susceptible to this manipulation. Companies make money selling youth... or selling men on the idea that if you want success with women you have to spend money.
Advertisers do not target married men because, by and large, married men do not control the spending in their families... it's targeted to women. Any advertising targeting single men is all to buy stuff... get hot chicks. By the hot car, buy the expensive clothes, romantic vacation get-aways, heck I'm starting to see advertising on TV for companies selling grooming tools for pubic hair, make-up for men, skin care products.
