This is a good study OP, but it's just outside our theme as there's no reference to women complaining about being single and "can't find a decent guy" (see rule 5). Thanks for posting.

And here's the truth.....

In the study, men’s desirability peaks at age 50. But women’s desirability starts high at age 18 and falls throughout their lifespan.

Age doesn't matter, as long as he's rich and got cash. As much as you dislike Trump due to various reasons, he was right about one thing: If you are rich and famous, they let you grab by the pussy.

Or Weinstein who had ladies around just because he could make their careers.

Or Aziz Ansari who had "date" with a girl who hoped to live a life of rich and fame. Her Instagram is open now since dust is settled and nobody questions her.

While this may not be the typical post for this subreddit, it has some interesting facts that contribute to the discussion of why these women "can't find good men."

TL; DR: https://i.imgur.com/rezcchy.png

Summary: Statistics gathered from online dating services in four metropolitan areas show that women's desirability starts out high at 18, but drops off very rapidly. Meanwhile, men's desirability is lower at 18, but experiences gradual growth until around 50. The article is even subtitled "A massive new study of online dating finds that everyone dates aspirationally—and that a woman’s desirability peaks 32 years before a man’s does."

"...[w]omen reply very selectively to the messages they receive from men—their average reply rate is less than 20 percent.

Further data supporting the "chasing Chad" hypothesis: hypergamy demands the <20% most desirable men. Women are awash with choice at 18/low 20s, but if they fail to recognize the depreciating nature of their desirability, they will be left behind in their 30s.

Yeah men and women both date out of their league the difference is women always date up while men always date down. So what does that tell you about women?

The OK Cupid data was also pretty unequivocal - women tend to prefer men that are close to their own age while men are most attracted to women at the age where they are at the peak of health and fertility.

Well, I find women most desirable when they don't read that literary abortion The Atlantic, so...

18 and 16

It’s all about procreation. Nothing we can do will ever change it. Futile to look for a higher social reason for the function of our amygdala. It’s like trying to find out why cars are so optimised for driving on a road by ignoring that they have been made for it,
