Show me a woman who is hotter at 30 than she was at 20, hotter at 35 than she was at 25. I'll wait...

No, he’s right.

And it’s the cruel truth of feminism, it just hurts women.

These women have pursued careers they hated, because we told them to, and they’ve missed out on the families they’ve always wanted. Worse yet, when they realize all of this, it’s often too late.

I don’t want to get too personal, but I went out for drinks with an old friend last year. I hadn’t seen her since grade school, and we were suddenly in the same town.

So I reached out.

I remembered the beautiful girl, and she was still beautiful, but age was catching up with her. She was still funny and engaging but I surprised myself. I wasn’t the least bit interested in her.

It was two things.

She looked so old to me, now, and that was important. But she also carried herself like an older person. You could see the fatigue in her eyes. The disappointment and failures, that she had experienced. There was also a sense of, almost, desperation. And that was unattractive.

Sitting at the table, across from her, I thought of my ex.

She had been 21, and like most young people, she was absolutely in love with the world, and the possibilities of life. She warm and happy, she had just adored me.

And her excitement was contagious.

Traditional social norms existed for a reason.

They were neither arbitrary or accidental.

The longer a girl waits, the worse her options are.

Fact: Women in their 30's find it harder to "find the right guy" and get married, than when they are in their 20's.
