(And let’s be real most of these men wanted attractive young women not the unattractive or fat ones.)

The SMV of an attractive woman in her “prime years” is way above almost all men’s SMV at any age. If this woman is slightly losing SMV by 30 while an average man is slightly gaining it by 30 it is at this point that they become “equals” in the dating market. So it makes sense they would pair up at that point. Average or below average men who complain about not getting women in their “prime” want a brand new Ferrari for the same price as a used Honda. The men who make this argument forget that men also have an SMV, if a woman in her prime was “banging Chads” she was banging her “SMV equal” at the time. Her SMV going slightly down at 30 while the average dude’s goes slightly up at 30 (if he works on making money and gaining status) does not mean he now has a higher SMV than her because she started off way higher than him to begin with. I mean, that would only be the case if the average dude was now super wealthy. That average/slightly above average earning average/below average looking men in their 30s are complaining about dating 30 year olds women is bizarre entitlement and based on confirmation bias. These men are ignoring male SMV or only considering part of the SMV to justify their anger towards women who rejected them years ago, it’s quite sad.

Dudes since you are below average/average in looks your SMV at 30 is much closer to an average woman in her 30s not 20s yes even if you have a career. Consider that less males get a chance at finding a mate than females. The only reason most men get to marry and/or have kids is because they are willing to get with their “equal” and be a “beta bux” rather than pining for young attractive women with high SMV. There’s simply not enough young women for all the men who want them be happy with what you can get.
