Later in life-post age 30 attractive woman's beauty starts to fade this is when she starts losing her special appeal that grants various special gifts and other freebies. Then her biological clock is ticking hard and she doesn't have much time to fool around anymore and take it easy.

Successful men will make good money and have descent living standards which is appealing to women that would not give them the time of day when they were young. The established men can get the hottest, legally youngest girls. So the tables turn around in the long run.

Watch the faces of women out shopping or anywhere for that matter. Most look unhappy at all times.
Maybe their expectations are wrong about life?

.

I have been thinking this for almost a year now. When I listen in public to young girls (14-17), they talk many times of (in no particular order) perfect house, perfect job, perfect car, perfect husband, perfect kids, perfect clothes, perfect body, perfect pet(s), perfect holidays&travel, perfect accessories, perfect life. I am wondering, have they been sold a bill of goods that includes all of this, and when they come to collect their freight, they find an empty boxcar? Was their bill of lading forged? When this happens, I think they die inside, either a little or completely, and from then on become vicious stygian harpies.

I've known many happy men and women, some of them even married! They all seem to have one thing in common: they don't stand upon attempted perfection. It's a house upon sand.

Quote:

"The findings are open to lots of interpretation because thousands of the respondents were not married."

Enough said.

I'd go with that, Tera.

I asked my sister once if a woman with a great career and lot's o' money but not married aged 35 was happy. She said "No."
I then asked the same about a man. She also said "No."

Very insightful.

I think maybe the research is being misunderstood.

What it shows is that women have children and are happy and fulfilled while they are young and while they grow.

But the career of childrearing has a shorter life expectancy than a man's career outside the home. So she then enters the workforce for fulfilment.

So women like me, who have raised the children enter the workforce at the same stage we left while the men have used that time we raised the children to get to a place in their career where they are now experts and basically at the top of their profession.

.........

What this shows feminists is the need to have the women sorting out their careers at the same time as raising children so they are able to end up in the same place with their husbands at the same age.

Better childcare is required and less time with raising which is bringing in the goals and laws for men to take half of the load running the household and raising the children.

Very insightful, Julie. I think you may be on to something there!

I think that is half my problem.

I shouldn't really be learning this stuff, I think.

Nothing wrong with acquiring wisdom, it's what you do with it that really counts.

Sure. I have women to care for as well as men.

Just a shame that some are at war with each other.

This is a fallacious generalization Julie.
It could be said for some.. but some of us had af
