So I have been eyeing up this girl at the gym the past couple of months. I'm 26 and this girl looks about my age, mid to late 20s at most. Really attractive, sweet girl. She keeps herself to herself mostly but I've said hi to her a few times and she always smiles and says hello back. I finally ask her if she wants to grab a bite sometime with me. Unfortunately she is married and 44, yep FORTY FOUR YEARS OLD! Just feel like I was wasting my time there.

Now I'm all for hot milfs but when women in their 40s are using modern interventions to appear up far younger than they are I think that's problematic for men my age seeking a wife to have children with. Doesn't this amount to fertility faking? Things like tretinoin, microneedling, HRT, lasers, lifestyle etc can provide the appearance of youth and fertility far beyond actually youth and fertility further messing up dating and mate selection.

Granted the woman at my gym is an outlier but this is the future, women will start to evade the wall for longer without actually being young or fertile.

Men already contend with make up giving a false impression but in a 10 years 50 year oops will probably all look 25.
