"Men age like a fine wine. Women age like bread."

Look at what each sex finds attractive.

Men appreciate women as sex symbols. The most attractive women on the cover of magazines are young, in the 18 to early 20's in terms of age. That's when most women are at their peak in terms of physical attraction.

And physical attraction is directly connected to fertility. You are driven to fuck that 21 year old hotty wearing that tight dress in the club. You are not spending your time picking up 80 year old women in nursing homes, dreaming about peeling apart that vag like a grilled cheese sandwich.

For men, youth and physical signs of fertility drive our attraction patterns.

Women appreciate men as status symbols. In general, women want the attention of the highest SMV man they can acquire. Women have fantasies about their teachers and professors. Young women get tingles for the slightly older guy driving the Mercedes. Women want powerful men.

Well, power takes time to build. A 19 year old freshman guy won't have the same power and status as a 36 year old wealthy lawyer. If both men have the exact same athletic prowess, women will desire the lawyer over the freshman every day of the week.

So what happens is that men start off the dating game at the age of 18-20 with the most severe disadvantages. They are foolish, ignorant, financially broke, and have built nothing for themselves.

By contrast, women start the dating game at 18-20 with THE WORLD AT THEIR FINGERTIPS. Every guy wants to fuck them. Every guy wants to get their attention. Every guy faps to the imagery of other guys fucking desirable, youthful women.

Comparatively, women literally start the game with all the cards.

But here's how things change. Women begin to age. And as they age, they become less attractive. I don't know about you, but I would rather fuck the version of Courteney Cox in Ace Ventura than the Courteney Cox in Cougar Town.

There comes a point in a woman's life, generally in her early 30's, where she begins to notice how men aren't chasing her as much. She doesn't get quite the amount of attention she used to receive. She starts to see younger women than her in their early 20's getting all this attention from men that she used to get.

This is called The Wall. The Wall is where a once very attractive women finds herself aged out of the main section of the dating pool. When she started at 18 with everything, she has now lost the only thing she ever had going for her: her youth.

But men, on the other hand, have a much different experience. We scrape by, having to learn how to work to be better. For most of us, nothing is handed to us. We have to earn every inch that we acquire.

And the skills that we develop translate into other areas of our lives. We improve ourselves through bettering our education. We improve ourselves by getting better jobs. We improve ourselves by increasing our power.

Then, when men hit their 30's, the successful ones will have been spending the last decade working on becoming a better, stronger, more powerful man, the kind that younger women are attracted to.

And it works out for those men because they are still naturally attracted to youthful women.

Post-Wall women can become bitter when they fall from grace. They'll hate youthful women for receiving the attention from men that they used to receive; and they'll hate men for no longer paying attention to them, or at least they'll complain about men not paying attention to them, while they continue to ignore the lesser guppy men who still pine after them.

At this point, a woman panics and grips onto the first beta provider she can find in an attempt to secure a man since fewer and fewer men are now paying attention to her.

But men of higher SMV status in their 30's will continue to fuck youthful women, making up for the lack of opportunities to do so when they were in their late teens and early 20's.
