Facts:

  • hot women hit The Wall hard in their 30s/40s; their assets droop, they get crow's feet, and their skin gets gross/thin/non-supple

  • in contrast to women, hot men can look awesome in their 30s/40s (obviously they have to work out hard and get their bf% extremely low or all bets are off; this goes for all hot human beings so it shouldn't need to be stated)

  • for example, crow's feet on a man are often called "rugged," whereas that is never a positive thing for women

  • hot men's skin does not age as badly as women's regarding various dermatological aspects (I'm not a dermatologist so I have no idea why)

  • hair-loss/hair-recession is the one thing that is a major factor that makes hot/low-bf/ripped men hit The Wall hard in middle age

  • bad hair ruins a man's looks entirely; someone edited the pics of celebs like Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper to show what they would look like with a receded hairline and it was brutal; the face can stay 100% the same but the receded hair ruins it

  • baldness will be cured eventually (see here)

  • this will make men hit The Wall much later

  • this will change the SMP

Note: New therapies will allow any man with the money to eliminate baldness; this will change the SMP because baldness disproportionately hurts male SMV. However, new therapies will also allow any man with the money to have a thick full voluminous head of hair; this will further change the SMP because non-thick/non-full/non-voluminous poor hair in general (even if not balding) harms a man more than a woman, and this will no longer be an issue.

Edit: Some people are having difficulty. I blame myself. Let me explain. Men's looks fall apart less in middle-age assuming the man is hot/low-bf/ripped. The only thing that REALLY fucks over a man looks-wise in middle age is hair. A cure for baldness will be upon us eventually. Therefore, the male Wall is about to be reduced significantly. This will change the SMP, because men will have a longer period of high-SMV. To be clear, hair affects both men and women, but I don't even think it's even comparable: hair is incomparably more central to male SMV.
