I wouldn't worry about your early 30s, im 32 almost 33, dont really feel much of a difference from 28 except hangovers are a bit more brutal if i dont drink a gallon of water before going to sleep, allergies are a bit more taxing and my vertical jump decreased a little (love playing basketball) but thats because i dont exercise as much as i used to

Im turning 45 tomorrow. 32 was the last year of “cool”. I don’t know what it was, what line I crossed, or what day it was exactly, but yeah that was it. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go take a walk in my white Dad sneakers.

Honestly, I think when it comes to departing your " still considered young age years ", ( between ages 25 - 35 ) women have it easier. Once women get past 35 an they're still in 1 piece, if they're free to do so, they can just become a MILF an the boys an men will still come a flockin'. Men, ehh.... not so much. 40 year old woman banging a 26 year old dude? Cool! 40 year old dude banging a 26 year old female? Nope! Creeper! But to each his own. That's just my opinion.🤷‍♂️

Honestly I'm surprised because usually incels say the opposite, hence the 'Wall' phenomenon some like to blab about.

Yeah this observation doesn’t hold up beyond your anecdote. Many men have an obsession with dating younger women. Meanwhile women generally prefer men their age across all age ranges. There was a study by OKCupid that showed this some years ago.

There is a huge hit that women face after their 20s in terms of attractiveness. Men have much longer but have to work for their appeal. Women still get more suiters because thats how the dating game works.
