In a world where everyone stopped aging at 25, what would the dating market look like?

RainbowsAreAmazing · 2022-01-26T12:07:07+00:00

Way way way way way way way more monetarily transactional.

Flightlessbirbz · 2022-01-26T16:07:14+00:00

Age gaps would be more normalized after 25, but most women would still not want a much younger guy. Predatory-type men would still want someone under 25, and extreme youth/childlike features would be even more fetishized as a signifier of “really” being young. Society would be even more shallow and looks-oriented than it is now. People who didn’t want kids would marry later, people who did would marry about the same age as they do now.

Platinirism · 2022-01-26T13:10:04+00:00

Dating someone too old/young would no longer be as much of an issue. No one would look at a 45 year old dating a 25 year old and think “ew that’s weird” since they’d both appear to be the same age.

Older people (especially older men) would dominate the dating market thanks to their assets, who’s going to win, a 25 year old man still setting up his life, or a 50 year old man who looks 25 who also has an expensive car, house that’s fully paid off, much higher paying job, and has had 50 years to perfect their skills/hobbies.

If you think young people have issues now, those issues would be exaggerated in this world.

I can definitely see men being more willing to settle for 30+ year old women that "had their fun" if they still look youthful. It will also create more competition for young attractive people. For men it means, that can't even leverage their looks anymore vs older guys with a higher status. And since men care about looks more, a more stable, mature 50 year old will definitely be more appealing than some dumb 20 year old, if they look the same.

Men would divorce less, women would divorce more. The marriage rate would crumble.

Ohmaygahh · 2022-01-26T15:18:07+00:00

Age is the greatest limiting constraint on women's sexual strategy. To remove that, is to make her completely all powerful. There would be zero reason to "mature" or "grow up" or "change priorities" or whatever fucking euphemism is du jour.

Women would have less pressure to have kids or find a husband. Because their have forever in their fertility window

Boompa22 · 2022-01-26T13:22:32+00:00

Resources would be the driving factor in things. Dudes younger than 23 would have 0 prospects unless they made a shitload of money. Gyms would be full, and men would be a lot more competitive with each other in the SMP. There would be no wingmen trying to help your bro get laid, it really would be a competitive market.

this-is-very · 2022-01-26T14:55:41+00:00

Men would have it easier getting laid because of much increased supply. Women would settle more often because loyalty alone would get more valuable. But there would be no pressure to rush with that as having kids layer would be a real option. I think overall it would be a more relaxed world except for increased male horniness.

Bandit174 · 2022-01-26T13:08:43+00:00

I would be really curious to see if women stoped caring about age gaps. Whenever women talk about age gaps being disgusting they always seem to focus on physical things like "young women dont want a fat bald wrinkly saggy balled man with ed". However if the older guys looked indistinguishable from the 20 yos I wonder if women would still care.

Also would be awesome for men to not have to lose their hair anymore.

What a fantasy - no wall!

I’d imagine that people wouldn’t have age preferences as much anymore since we would all be biologically 25 at most.

CosmicBioHazard · 2022-01-26T14:42:54+00:00

women’s fertility would not remain the same either

Evolution in that case would still favour a man not pumping effort into impregnating a woman who's past her fertility window when he could have more success with someone younger. If the men can't tell whether the women are still able to bear children, they might become more promiscuous to avoid being locked into a steady partnership with someone who won't produce children.

PlayfulLawyer · 2022-01-26T14:57:44+00:00

I might have been able to save my hair lol, but both genders with no wall? The amount of sex would Skyrocket, marriage rates would plummet lol

ohheyhi99 · 2022-01-26T15:32:52+00:00

The attractiveness gap between the least and most attractive people would be at its most pronounced for even longer. Instead of moving down the hotness scale as they aged, the hot people would remain 6-10/10s for life. The youthful 4/10s would be stuck there.
People would have more time to maximize their attractiveness
More open relationships
More single parents
More cheating

BruddaMSK · 2022-01-26T16:00:12+00:00

Top tier men having more sex, bottom tier have less if not turn sexless.

Maybe women will favor older men slightly less or at least it would become easier to pretend you're older for a guy.

Still I would want to live in that world.

otter6461a · 2022-01-26T17:08:45+00:00

Live for 80 years? Woman’s party years will last for 79 years, 364 days

Men would have less incentive to pursue age gap relationships.

Women would have less incentive to criticize age gap relationships.

Most of the in-practice, real-life judgment around age gaps (not the theoretical "moral" arguments against them on Reddit) revolves around lookism and who the younger person "deserves" to be dating. Also couples who are age-mismatched but look very close in age tend to avoid the brunt of the criticism.

Would erectile dysfunction still kick in when I hit 60 or would I have a rock hard erection til I drew my last breath?

SupermarketFun21 · 2022-01-26T22:43:16+00:00

This would drastically reduce young women's (currently exorbitant) market power.

Value is a function of supply and demand. In the real world, the supply of attractive women is severely constricted by the fact that female beauty is so acutely concentrated in women's late teens and twenties. Male value, by contrast, remains fairly steady throughout a man's twenties and thirties, and, for those who take good care of themselves, even forties. Thus, we have a wide age range of men viably pursuing a narrow age range of women; meaning women in that narrow age range have the luxury of being extremely picky.

In the hypothetical world where nobody ages, young women would have to compete with older women for the best men, which would mean a severe dropoff in younger women's options. But the upside for women would, of course, be that if they don't find someone in their 20's, their value won't fall off a cliff in their 30's. For men this world would be nothing but upside, as it would just create a higher supply of female beauty to go around.

It would get weird for men, especially during threesomes and finding out that the two sisters you were sleeping with are mom and daughter

funlightmandarin · 2022-01-26T13:23:59+00:00

There's only one thing to do:

Find a sexy 90 year old and get on that will! 😂
