When I am out with my mom, she is always hit on by attractive men of all ages and backgrounds. She is in her late 50s and looks great. She is always shocked and exclaims "I am married!", "I am a mother!", "you could be my son!".

Unfortunately, she got locked down in an LTR and later marriage with my abusive, NPD father who is ultra-low value. If she knew her worth she'd leave and enjoy all of these exciting options.

However, just seeing that she has them is proof that these hitting the wall and aging comments LVM make are just to scare women into settling for losers. They can no longer use money, slut-shaming, religion, state violence, full custody of kids to leverage women into entering or staying in relationships with them so they want us to believe otherwise. I wish my mom knew her worth.

Her friend is the same age and left the loser she made the mistake of marrying about a decade ago. She is dating men in their 30s (her daughter's age). She turns down men left and right. One recently begged to be her friend if he can't date her because he can't live without her in his life. Her life is one of constant enjoyment - with her best girlfriends, her daughter and grandkids, travel, art, fine foods, new experiences, new attractive HVM, a business that is thriving. She doesn't appear to be slowing down any time and why should she?

Millennial and Generation Z women no longer have to suffer as our mothers, grandmothers, and women throughout millennia did. We will teach each other not to fall into the same traps they did. I am ecstatic to see women my mother's age liberating themselves as well. I feel there is hope even for my mom if she is willing to be receptive to FDS teachings.
