I have to laugh at this, but I worry for the PickMes who will fear that their value might decrease (hint: it won’t).

Then why men constantly lie about their age on Tinder and other dating sites? I’ve matched with men who told me that they are actually older than they’ve put on their profiles. 🤡🤡🤡

PurpyPops · 2021-04-11T11:22:25+00:00

Speak for yourself buddy. I'm better now, in every way, than I ever was in my younger years.

Also I'm yet to see a man physically improve with age. I love seeing the bald, fat, scruffy men (who used to be the boys who bullied me in high school for being frigid and "fat") do a double take when they see me at the supermarket. Some have even tried to hit me up on social media for a date.

Suck it losers.

Hire a maid and buy a sex doll. Min/maxxing your "sexual market value" is not why people should get into long-term monogamous relationships.

The_Pyramidion · 2021-04-11T12:31:58+00:00

Just a friendly reminder that in the next 10-20 years the majority of households will have women as the main breadwinners. We don't need your "appreciating accets", Broseph,you can go back to crying into your cheerios about how nobody wants to touch your strangely angled dick.

GiraffeLibrarian · 2021-04-11T11:04:23+00:00

Also, just a random question but didn’t want to make an entire post.

What is it with men who write “no drama!!1!” In their dating profiles? Am I missing some reference?

Notspecificc · 2021-04-11T11:37:55+00:00

They’re the ones who try to tell women our only value is our looks, so pick mes with low self esteem focus primarily on that.

And THEN they say “well what do you expect when your only value is your looks? It’s your fault I just wanna use you for sex”.

Fuck these scum bags

purasangria · 2021-04-11T13:00:14+00:00

I've read this; it's a guy arguing why, as he ages, he gets more desireable, because money, and we get less desirable, because looks.

I look better now than I did at 20, and still have men hitting me up because I look great. Men cannot tell that I'm like 20 years older than they are, because WE LOOK THE SAME AGE. Let that one sink in. I've spent all my life taking great care of myself, for ME, not for "catching a man."

I predict that there will be a lot of men like this: Older, and wants in his 50s to settle down with a "10" but unable to find one because when a woman wants to choose a mate, she wants someone younger, and she doesn't care about your money, because she has her own.

For the ones that don't have looks or money -- aka the 90% of men -- they'll be totally shut out of the marriage market unless they settled down with their looksmatch in their 20s. They think they have the upper hand, but this is not going to end well for the men of the next couple of generations.

RecordingImportant94 · 2021-04-11T11:32:57+00:00

He's confidently incorrect! For his opinion on a woman's worth, for his belief that women should care about his opinion, and for his use of exponential depreciation. He's intending to say that the graph of a woman's worth is a curve that looks approximately like this: ¯|, so the value goes down slowly at first and quickly after that. But exponential depreciation actually looks like |_; it goes down quickly at first and slowly afterwards. Think of a new car, which loses value quickly in the first year, also quickly in the second and third years, and once it's twenty years old, it doesn't really lose value anymore because it'll always at least be worth the value of the scrap metal.

Exponential depreciation is f(x)=ax^b with 0<x<1. What he's trying to say would require the function 1-g(x)=1-ax\^b with x>1, g(x) being the function of exponential appreciation.

(Any queens who are good at math who can verify this?)

anywaysheresrational · 2021-04-11T11:14:40+00:00

Reducing any human being to an asset is disgusting. BTW my income increases from year to year too, so what’s his point?

howdoilogoutt · 2021-04-11T11:57:12+00:00

Jesus when will they realise we are not property we are human beings.

burritogirl101 · 2021-04-11T13:56:40+00:00

This is so pathetic lol. I'm an aPpReCiAtIoN aSsEt 🤡

The thing is, beauty doesn't fade. That's what we've been led to believe, because y'know, rampant misogyny. The reality is, if you take care of yourself and build up your confidence, you will look incredible in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s...and so on, because there's just something about confidence that makes people beautiful. I'm in my 30s and so much more comfortable and confident in my own skin than I was at 18. The scrotes I knew in high school/university who were deemed to be "hot" all look like shit now, and barely into their 30s. So sad!

2021-04-11T11:55:10+00:00

I feel like I grow more beautiful each year I grow older. And it’s outward beauty as well as inward beauty. LVM don’t recognize inward beauty they are too busy bashing women

deudeo · 2021-04-11T14:21:01+00:00

More women than men attend university by FAR. Very soon, we’re going to have educated and successful women outnumbering men. This guy is stuck in the era of dowries and women as property. Women aren’t a “depreciating asset”. Go pick up your rogaine.

2021-04-11T11:19:21+00:00

Always doing everything they can to make us feel like we need them because they need us so much and can't bear the thought that we can live perfectly happy lives without them.

throwaway32132134 · 2021-04-11T14:11:10+00:00

Does he think men look better with age?

ceramicunicorn · 2021-04-11T15:14:18+00:00

I, too, will have money that increases.

Both our looks will fade, likely yours moreso than mine, as you can see from older men and women compared side by side.

You’ll be far more desperate for a partner when you’re older than I will be- you’ll allow yourself to be used for your money and drain it on someone who will eventually leave you for someone actually attractive and kind- allowing me to be more selective, spending my money on those who will appreciate it.

Plus, having terrible character negates your financial value. Only the worst of people can be in relationships with insufferable wealthy old men. So that’s what you’ll attract. I’ll still have good character.

I Win!

applemartin · 2021-04-11T11:23:28+00:00

So the obvious solution is to make a lot of money yourself and only go out with younger men for their looks. It's not that hard to make money either, especially if you don't have an entitled parasite to take care of at home.

There is an epidemic of non-working men: https://www.milkenreview.org/articles/the-male-non-working-class.

Speaking as someone who earns a six figure income in tech and regularly rubs elbows with people who make millions, the vast majority of men who earn above average incomes are married: https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/april-2002/for-love-or-money-why-married-men-make-more

I bet the man who posted the above comment is not actually all that professionally successful. In fact, I bet he's bitter about it and is trying to 'get revenge' by posturing and pretending on the Internet because in the real world, he's a plain nobody.

2021-04-11T12:58:08+00:00

I had a scrote attempt to "insult" me by saying I look 14. I'm 32.

I'll take that as a jealous compliment since he looked like a toe with pubes glued on as a beard who was probably younger than me

EclecticBarbarella · 2021-04-11T14:21:28+00:00

The ones with money have an equally hard time finding someone (sometimes harder because they have a gross attitude about it). Sure there’s some women who will date a man just for money but it’s not all like they always seem to think (and some dudes are insufferable all the money in the world couldn’t make up for it). Some loser on a dating sub here was talking about how women were all gold diggers because he had money and the ladies response was “and yet you are still single, your post history is nothing but you complaining about being ghosted constantly.” 😂

Imagine looking for and desiring a life partner, but at least 50% of your potential life partners hate you. Welcome to being a heterosexual woman.

needsmoresilk · 2021-04-11T11:58:02+00:00

It's actually projection. They're terrified we'll figure out just how badly they need us to feel the bare minimum of "wanted".

They know everything a woman offers is vastly more valuable than money will ever be.

Don't we out earn them now anyway? As an aside, men who were too unsure of themselves to approach me a few years ago are CHASING me now - a couple sent me songs in DMs just last night and I have 4 missed calls (I was busy having a night to myself and taking a long break from dating to have bliss and joy). I'm mid-30s and doing fine. My mid and late-30s, and early 40s friends report similar. Don't fall for the BS. It's smoke and mirrors and projection.

Queens, they will always want us and in the same numbers as they did in our 20s. Unfortunately, the quality doesn't seem to improve, either. I'm not looking forward to lockdown ending when every time I left the house I'd have another dude thinking he was getting a dinner date (and yes, they ask for dinner. Reddit is the only place people think coffee dates are acceptable lmao).

Edit: Oh and, this is me literally not leaving my house for a YEAR. Just to drive it home, I'm literally sitting in my house in my pjs and they're banging down the door (that part is figurative). Just wanted to be clear on all of this. We have absolutely nothing to worry about in the BS SMV equation. LMFAOO again!

2021-04-11T14:46:19+00:00

Wtf is he talking about?! It really does seem like something a literal rapist would say and embellishing it with economic terms to sound smart to scare you. Nothing surprises me anymore.

More likely an ugly man with with mediocre looking wives say to endorse cheating. Yuck! Deadly problem for sure, lmao! He sounds sick.

dkwantsdk · 2021-04-11T16:23:32+00:00

I'm getting hotter, making more money, and don't want to fuck you. Sounds like you're the only thing depreciating here.

2021-04-11T15:58:08+00:00

"from the viewpoint of economics"

Says the guy whose dick will be broken in 10 years, if it isn't already.

juliana_san · 2021-04-11T15:05:37+00:00

Good for him! Golf claps all around!

Maybe he'll score a loveless relationship with a pretty young woman when all that's left for him is money (cause clearly personality isn't going to cut it), until eventually she leaves cause she's got better shit to do and higher value men to snag, and he'll be old and alone wasting away with his piles of cash. Sounds like a appreciation to me! Nothing says success like shriveling away solo because the only thing you value in a partner is looks.

LostInContentment · 2021-04-11T15:52:49+00:00

How gross. A man’s only value is his wallet and a woman’s her looks. How shallow. You’re worth as a person isn’t dependent on your net worth or your looks.

throwawayheyyy5 · 2021-04-11T17:14:05+00:00

Women can’t make money? It seems he’s saying the value is in money and not him, anyone can get money right? So what’s so special about him? Appreciating asset.. haha you’re no property by the lake. Go take a walk.

entpgirl415 · 2021-04-11T18:12:54+00:00

I think one of my misogynist ass professors used this whole example (I remember it was a long letter a woman wrote proving her worth) to “economically” explain to my class that she doesn’t have worth in response to her. I wish I had my knowledge back then bc I’d put his nasty ass in place. There was so much misogyny in economics 🙄🙄

Sewud · 2021-04-11T21:35:18+00:00

We are not trading our beauty for their money. Why do they keep thinking that? What we offer is someone to love you and care about you. Just look at the epidemic of loneliness. Men are the first ones to benefit from companionship as it is shown to improve their happiness and life expectancy, and even success and motivation. Could they stop pretending they don't want this? If really they are a misanthrope who can't imagine meeting someone they like, then they should stay far out of the dating pool.

Mamma_Midnight · 2021-04-12T01:33:28+00:00

Dude is clearly struggling with cognition.

Beauty doesn't fade - that's youth. Youth & beauty are not the same thing. She won't 'get prettier' but she won't become uglier either: her features will be the same & it's our features that influence whether we're seen as beautiful or not.

He is not an asset - his money is the asset: he can't tell the difference between himself & his bank balance. He is not 'an appreciation asset' - his money is. He's comparing something he OWNS to something she LITERALLY IS. This is not comparing like for like. One is a possession that you can lose, the other is personal appearance that is generally fixed for life.

I'd guess that he's doing this because that's the only good thing he has going for him. An attractive women is generally attractive for life, plus she can level up & increase her personal wealth. He may have some wealth now that could potentially increase in time, but he'll never get a new face or grow extra inches. In 10 years time she can be beautiful & have personal wealth, while he'd have money but still be fugly.

You can be prettier year after year. It’s called leveling up.

Smart-Platypus6762 · 2021-04-11T20:16:35+00:00

Men can’t pull this shit on you when you earn a good salary. Our value doesn’t decrease, and they need to bring far more to the table than just a salary.

GreatOrchidAmbition · 2021-04-11T22:04:14+00:00

"depreciation asset."

its depreciating asset you literal pterodactyl.

EffectiveHoneydew422 · 2021-04-12T07:12:33+00:00

People go broke, dicks go limp, men die earlier than women especially when they dont have one looking after them. But I think most importantly when you have a ugly and insufferable character (like this guy) as time goes on you will end up with no family, friends, and be empty, boring, and useless.

2021-04-11T22:20:56+00:00

“But you can’t be prettier year after year” someone’s BITTER he’ll never age as gracefully as a woman

2021-04-11T15:31:35+00:00

Ah I remember this article... A woman was asking for advice on how to marry a wealthy man. She said something about wealthy men's wives looking "average" (not sure if that's the exact word she used, but it was something to that effect) and not understanding how she, as an attractive woman, couldn't secure a wealthy man. So the author was explaining why she needs a more than beauty to secure a wealthy man. So it was basically a "pick me" complaining about why no one had picked her.

2021-04-12T00:47:01+00:00

Ummm I have a great career and I can say the same about my money. So I also have the "appreciation" asset. Now whether beauty depreciates remain to be seen by how well I take care of myself, but the question is do you even have something equivalent to beauty (handsome looks, fit bod) TO depreciate??? Or at least, I dunno, emotional support and/or shared interests/hobbies/things we can do together? Coz if you don't, and I already have the financials covered, then what are you offering exactly...?

victoriabowen8 · 2021-04-14T15:52:04+00:00

I need more context here. I don't even know if this is a man speaking or a woman and what they are talking about. It could be a woman talking to another woman. Woman A is doing OF and brings literally nothing else to the table besides her look, the comment does mention "If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse in 10 years" - which is true if a woman is relying just on her looks she is in for a world of hurt one day. Woman B on the other hand is focusing on her education/career and developing as a person and therefore will bring more value to the table.

I have to laugh at this, but I worry for the PickMes who will fear that their value might decrease (hint: it won’t).

"Deadly" problem.
