0 Pensive: A Woman's Age Posted by _jennyc |

Do women have an expiration date? By an “expiration date”, I mean is there a certain point in time in which women are not considered as “attractive” or as “worthy” to be in a relationship? Would the dating market shrink as women progressively age? All of these questions can be left unanswered or even unknown, because I doubt anyone has an exact and definite answer to those questions. It sure seems as if all women are worried about their so-called “biological clocks”. Sure, reproduction has its risks for women over 35, but could that be held accountable for why women at an older age aren’t as “marketable”?

Being in long term relationships that don’t end very well could leave some very depressed or worried that they may not find “the one” especially when it is around a time when most if not all of your friends are married. It’s sad because no relationships guarantee a happy ending. All that time spent during your youthful 20s may have gone to waste. However, it is definitely never too late. It is never too late to find that perfect prince out there. There’s always someone out there for everyone.

It’s unfortunate that as women age, the dating “market” seems to shrink or close, however, on the other hand, for most men, their dating market is always and forever open. It is never wrong to see older men date younger women. On the contrary, seeing older women date younger men is wrong? How’s that for the double standard?
