Do women only valuable from teens to early 20s?

Okay once again, even if the majority of men find peak physical attractiveness in women to be in her 20s, it does not mean men are not capable of loving you or finding you beautiful past it.

There is a lot more to love than sexual attraction, and I’m sure you know this. By the time you are both old and falling apart, you would have ideally built up a history of love and memories and care that makes your partner irreplaceable.

Women still have value as people, individuals with thoughts and feelings, past their peak sexual attractiveness. But yes, women have the most sexual attraction value in their late teens through their 20s.

It’s not so much valuable so much as they begin to lose power or relevancy over men as they get older. Think of it like having simps or just the power to make shit happen with men. Girl who’s 21 ould go to a club and have some guy inviting her into his booth he paying for and dropping 1000s to impress her, or she could walk into a job interview and coast off her looks if the interviewer is a guy, she could cleavage her way out of a ticket, etc, now She won’t have that same pull at 45.

Doesn’t make her less valuable, but in terms of men as a collective she doesn’t have the same power over them. She’ll still have value as a living being. I’m not gonna skip her in line just because her metabolism is slowing down and she’s putting on weight. But I’m much less likely to start jumping through hoops trying to make her mine.

Women of those ages are generally the most valuable, because they're at peak fertility, health, etc. But no, if you still take good care of yourself, don't have any major medical issues, etc beyond age 30, there is still a quite high chance men will find you attractive. It's just most likely gonna be men who are a bit older. Men in their 40's and 50's usually have no issue being attracted to women in their 30's. Of course then it's gonna be even harder to find love in your 40's, 50's, and so on. But the same kinda goes for men when they get older too.

Men and women increasingly prefer younger partners the older they get, it's just way more pronounced in men. You don't see the men who are older than their young girlfriends ask about: but when 50% of women at 18yo want an older partner, why should i date an 18yo as an older man, when only 3% want an older partner at 45yo? Won't she leave me at that point?

I dont belive in wife goggles tbh,

It's not a matter of "belief". There is hard evidence for this effect. People in romantic relationships highly overvalue their partner's attractiveness, have positive illusions about them, and exhibit other bonding mechanisms that make them biased towards the relationship and their partners.

and many more.

Does that guarantee that your partner will stay attracted to you? Of course not. You can gain lots of weight while not getting significantly older, and your partner might lose attraction to you.

It ramps up ( or down rather ) from 27-30. At least in terms of long term commitment. It isn’t so much that they’re just suddenly ugly at 30, but when you’re asking for a high price like long term exclusive commitment, yeah your dating value is much much lower at that age. Gotta move quick

My standards go up for women as they age. I want to see progress in life. Her education is done, she has a good degree, paid off all her debt, hitting the gym and eating healthy, good well rounded individual. These are traits I have. Also I want to see how she put in effort to finding a husband and it hasn't worked out yet. Has she been approaching men and asking them out? Many fail at this, and I see it as low effort so next.

For younger women I dont expect that as those things need time.

The whole idea was to settle down early and develop wife goggles but there are just too many contextual requirements that modernity lacks the ability to realistically deliver such as chastity at marriage, leaving all human relations as performative handbags shopping for each other

No. It just happens that most women older than a certain age are not valuable to be around. Dont confuse the reality of women with the potential women have. Almost all of them could all become good women. They just choose not to be. It just happens that most women have such terrible behavior that their looks are the only thing keeping them attractive. Once the looks fade. They are not tolerated anymore. Becoming "repulsive" and "disgusting" in general. At any time all those women could treat their mental illnesses, work on their maturity and be useful parts of their community. But they cling to sexually desperate males desire as a way to say they don't need to change or grow up. So they never grow up. Thats why TRP call women teenagers, kids and sometimes even babies. you would not like to be around a manchild would you?thats disgusting and repulsive right? what makes you think we like to raise a wife/gf? we may tolerate if she is cute... but... that will always be an issue
