Women 19-27
Men 30-40
Men start with literally no dating market value.
We have to build up our value from the bottom up for the most part. If we don’t produce and provide, men go relatively ignored in this world. Usually it takes at least 15 years of adulthood for a man to hit his peak age for the mating marketplace. Women usually want older men for this very reason.
For women it’s all completely backwards. Most men are attracted to youth and beauty and less baggage (less past relationships and the drama that brings). Women who are young get hit on by far the most. Women start out with value, after all they have the baby maker built into their bodies biologically. That provides value for them. Men are subconsciously attracted to women that are more fertile (and almost 90% of a woman’s eggs are gone by age 30). Any man who wants to have a bunch of kids will need to start with a woman younger than 25 to be able to safely have the wife give birth. Women are on a much more strict biological clock. This is where the term “the wall” comes from. Not only in regards to looks, but the primary problem is fertility. After 35 women hit geriatric pregnancy. Time is much more crucial for a woman in regards to the mating selection game.
This is why men peak far later in life. It takes men a long time to become an actual man of huge value (become fully educated, acquire a top career to be able to provide for a family, etc…) whereas for women their peak value is almost out the gate from a dating perspective.
Once again we are not talking about people’s overall life value, that is something completely different. We are talking about dating/sexual marketplace value.
People who deny these biological facts are only lying to themselves.
