It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing you’re no longer valuable in the dating world once you reach a certain age.
In Western society, the most common age to be thrown around as an insult is 30.
The idea of women “expiring“ from their youth at 30 years old comes from misogynistic men who are trying to knock women down a peg.
In worse cases, misogynists claim that women over the age of 25 aren’t desirable anymore, either.
In reality, 30 actually isn’t old – and 25 DEFINITELY isn’t old. You aren’t even halfway through your entire life expectancy by 25 or 30.
TikToker @ForTheQueenz shared a video breaking down the truth about whether or not people actually become less attractive with age.
Women simply don’t expire when they hit 30
@ForTheQueenz explains, “This [thought process] is something that only exists online. [The belief that] you’ll hit the wall after 25. You’re not going to be liked after 30. You’re expired.
“It’s something insecure men will comment online. But if you’re not chronically online, and if you go out in the real world, you will see the picture that’s completely different.
“Dating is not hard for you after 30 because you’re not attractive. Dating is harder for you after 30 because you’re pickier, you know what you want, and you’re more specific. It’s not bad.
“I always talk about myself as an example of a mature-looking woman who is not yet 30. I have to rewire your brain about aging.
“I never had a baby face. I never looked innocent. Even as a 19-year-old, I always had a woman’s face. Never a baby face.
“I can tell you honestly what I’ve noticed as I’m aging more. I spend more money on myself. I invest in myself more. I’m more taken care of. And I get more attention. A lot more than when I was 20.
“I can tell you that I get attention from all age groups. Young men, older men, men my age. Even if someone thinks [I’ll expire at age 30], I couldn’t care less.
“They don’t have to date me. There’s someone for everyone. There’s always going to be someone who will want to date you. Whatever age you are.”
Rest assured that her advice is completely solid.
There’s someone in the world for everyone, no matter how many birthdays you’ve celebrated over the years.
All you have to do is put yourself out there with an open mind and an open heart.
Getting older doesn’t have to be some terrifying reality you think you should run from.
Getting older means you’re getting wiser, which means you’re able to approach the world of love and dating through a more mature lens. Embrace it.
