This morning it occurred to me that in the United States since 1975, employers are prohibited from discriminating against an employee who is age 40 and older. Now, I am almost 41 and despite the fluff that gets thrown around here, I know I am not 25 or 30, and I see the difference even though I have managed to stay in shape.

I was listening to a MGTOW video about a mid-30s woman who was complaining about men her age not wanting to be with her. Ironically, around 35 to 36, I lost interest in women my own age. I still think the complaint is somewhat legitimate, the problem is one we all say here: that they partied their 20s away wasting potential decent guys for the chad, or something like that. Many of them are just very unhappy or bitter, too.

Point is, in 1975 well before the garbage we get told today about age, and having everything and so on, people actually recognized that by 40, you're old, and people can see you as less desirable economically. I'm sorry, but male or female, by your mid-30s, you're approaching old, you're left over, and you shouldn't be surprised. Yeah, maybe a 35 y/o male can date a 23 year ( I did), but it was a mismatch.

Should a woman who is approaching or getting toward 40 continue to believe that they are still 25? No! It represents an obvious cultural shift, a delusion, really, that you are not going to age, you aren't going to change, and you will always be as awesome as you were at 20. Ridiculous. I see these, "Okay Boomer" memes, and the thing that really sticks out at me is how boomers were to the older generations in the late 60s, (never trust someone over 30), and now I see the same ludicrous mindset by Millennials and GenZ kids, children I mean, giving it back to them in a sad irony where these younger people somehow think they will never get old! Ha!
