You are delusional if you think AOC was hot. I also know young moms with special needs kids and some men do not want kids or more kids. I also know older women in very happy long term relationships with younger men.
Don’t gaslight.
I used AOC as an example of a woman who was of average looks, to compare what she looked like under 30 to what she looks like now. IOW, to demonstrate “The Wall”.
Nice try. Or did YOU once think she was hot? That’s called projection, BTW.
I think that Don W was merely implying that, as a younger woman, AOC was somewhat less disgusting - not that she was a beauty pageant contestant.
I also know young moms with special needs kids...
I also know some people who have gone over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and survived. And people who have smoked three packs a day, and lived to a hundred.
Statistical anomalies and outliers. Citing them does not strengthen your argument.
...and some men do not want kids or more kids.
Yes, and there are probably also some women who don't care about financial security or professional success when seeking a husband. Who prefer the lay-about who dropped out of high school and wandered the streets for a few decades trying to "find himself."
Again, you are roiling the waters of this discussion with your references to tiny minorities and exceptions to the rule.
Even if a man doesn't want (more) children, when seeking a mate, he will (all other factors being equal) invariably prefer the woman who at least looks like she could still bear him (healthy) children, as opposed to a woman who is obviously far past her prime.
I also know older women in very happy long-term relationships with younger men.
Does that happen so frequently as to warrant advising young women to postpone finding a husband and founding a family until after they've spent decades partying and "riding the carousel?"
Are you seriously suggesting that that is sound advice?
You are grasping at straws.
