Odds genes, to be sure, with her grandparents having almost 400 years between them and the grandmother, whom she favored, having, to all clothed appearances, a teenager's body at age 97 after bearing 12 children that lived.

Still, yes, as averages those ages seem to hold generally true for most women.

Play the long game.

Indeed. Patience, and perseverance are good lessons for any man to learn.

Exercise is helpful, but it is possible for a girl, if she is of suitable genetics to go without any and still be considered attractive in her prime years.

The main purpose of exercise for women is to hold off the impending weight gain that inevitably comes with a careless diet and lowered metabolism as she approaches her wall years. Also being physically fit tends to come with other pluses- such as better mental health so one is less batshit crazy.

Anyway the panic that comes with the realisation that it was their looks that had been giving them social passes and now that resource is fast fading is very real. I am currently seeing my female acquaintances go through that phase.

Some start presenting a carefully cultivated, made up facade on social media where every picture is intended to be as flattering as possible- not a bad thing but any rep pill can see the underlying dynamic of them being aware that things if not maintained, are on a downslope.

Others just give up and keep posting gurl power feminist memes on fb while they become dumpy and swell up- they never really bothered with taking care of themselves in their peak years and were satisfied with the male attention they could pull from thirsty males, only to realise too late that that the script flips as they approach their 30s.

They didn't take care of themselves enough and now feel that climbing back is too much work. It is sad to watch but they made their bed and have to sleep in it.

On the other hand, it's inspiring to see some formerly whimpy, beta guys get it and come to their own. The years of rejection and failure served as training and they learnt the right lessons. The irony is that these were the same guys who were rejected by the women who are now approaching the wall.

Play the long game.

One damn quibble – It's not just diet, the woman on the left gets some excercise in somewhere. Some. A little tone in the arms but not enough elsewhere to have dedicated herself to core strength training, nor the stringiness of constant jogging.

This is true. I just couldn't find an adequate demotivator that contained BOTH diet AND exercise.

I may not sew clothes from scratch but I can button, patch, apply patches, iron, launder, scrub, do dishes, and god damn can I cook.

Exactly. When you are self-sufficient as a man, you very quickly realise that there are maybe three things that you need women for. And when- not if- sexbots become a reality, one of those things goes straight to the can.

As to the clip – yeah, the histrionics are scripted, but the look of horror behind the eyes of the two girls who basically washed out was real. They mouthed platitudes of "wow I get what guys go through" but never got to "I need to have something to offer"

As to that something else. Hell yeah. I may not sew clothes from scratch but I can button, patch, apply patches, iron, launder, scrub, do dishes, and god damn can I cook.

And frankly, doing that single incurred little enough overhead I had MORE spare time.

Sex has a value, but women want time well above what that is worth to all but the thirstiest men, and offer nothing else for the attention and focus they crave.
