Age before beauty? Absolutely not.
Thirty, flirty and thriving is apparently no longer the holy grail for teens and twenty-somethings online. Those born between 1997 and 2013 are expressing grim concerns about hitting the big 3-0 — a milestone that some of these youngsters fear will immediately zap them of their sexiness, stamina and overall value.
“In just the past few days, I have seen multiple Gen Zs (the vast majority women) on various platforms, including Reddit and Instagram, express a desire to unalive in their 30s or when they reach 40 because they cannot handle the fact that they will age [and] ‘become unattractive’ [or] ‘become hags,’” an alarmed whistleblower recently penned to Reddit’s PSA thread.

If life doesn’t give you something for everything it takes away, you’re doing it wrong.
These gen zers don’t understand that you grow mentally and emotionally as you age. You change. That’s how people cope with aging . I feel sorry for them if they are mentally and emotionally static. Can gen zers really be as stupid and angry as they seem to be? Hard to believe.
Men top out at around age 31. Maturity and not just looks plays a part in that, because while some 19 year old male may be physically attractive, the whole package isn't as good, because of maturity/job concerns.
So while a woman is clearly on the downhill slide at 30, a guy potentially still may not have maxed out yet at 30.
Also from that study, in the macro, the least desirable males were Asian, and the least desirable females were Black.
Yours is the best post. It makes me sad that anyone would be so ignorant of the process of growing and aging as to want to die young.
My life was miserable until my mid thirties—then everything started to kick into gear...
Life is much better when you are old enough to know what you are doing.
They haven’t been attractive up until now. What’s the big deal? People can look great in their thirties and forties. Prime of life. Losers are losers, no matter the age.
Those are all true, as you note ... they are also basically irreversible. A girl that has taken several hundred eggplants by the time she's 25 can't un-take them ... nor can she erase the living, breathing inevitable consequences. Age is also irreversible, and a settled habit of being a boss babe beyatch or a 304 is almost impossible to break.
Thanks! I needed the laugh. A good ole fashioned belly laugh.
Too many have bought the lie that they can have it all without marrying. All their focus is inward and not towards others.
Indeed.
I kicked in around 40. Except for some irritating health issues, things have continued to improve since then.
I would say at around 45 because by that time usually you've accumulated enough wealth. Good example - George Clooney's silver hair. I bet you that women will find him more attractive compared to a young Leonado DiCaprio from Titanic.
And to think they were storming the beaches of France in order to stop the tyranny of the Nazis.
Well said.

Yes women have been lied to. They were told if you were just a housewife you were useless. They were told that a man holding a door for you was proof of chauvinism instead of chivalry. And women fell for it.
Careers are fine, but being a mother and a wife is also a career.
Powerful but I had to report it. I don’t think Getty images are allowed.
