men are attracted to fertility? women loose their attractiveness after 27?
but the odd woman might still attract a man at 37 or 47?
I noticed you are not married on your profile (I am married for going on 19 yrs now)
I guess if you feel that strongly about how a woman looks, when she hits say 45, you are free to divorce her and go and find another one younger and more suitable to your high standards
yuck

the advice I would give is don't sell yourself short and please do not think all men are looking for young chicks to populate the planet with
sure I think physical attractiveness plays a part, but IMO, you can have movie star good looks and be a vapid self centered and boring person
the right person should be interested in YOU and you in them...and not compare you to others or make you feel you had better do something about your hair or that 10 lbs
I will add that I have found love to be stretchable....in other words, be prepared to make room for an imperfect human being in your life

My advice is:
Jesus gave us life to live. So live!
He gives us purpose/gifts/talents for His glory. Follow the Lord, not opinions.

Well i failed to have children. So yes i think you are misunderstanding me.. I don't think it is absolutely necessary to succeed in becoming a dad.. It would have been nice to have become a dad i sometimes wonder and think i could have been a good dad.. But to me it is not necessary.. Paul was never married and never became a dad.. But his life was of worth no matter..
I don't see getting married at 27 a rush at all... And again i am not saying a woman over 27 has no worth,, you seem to be injecting that into my message.. And i think to give good advice to young woman is a Godly thing to do.. Now young woman can decide for themselves if what i am saying is wise or stupid.. But at lest if they read this thread they can get a perspective they may never get elsewhere and consider it at lest..
I am 52 years old.. And i do not have any Children.. But that's really irrelevant to this threads focus.. Which is on young people and advice for them.. It's not about old guys like me

My advice to the younger folks here is to fall in love with Jesus, and you'll have someone to love whether you find an earthly mate or not.
Also, I've heard it phrased "Run after Jesus, and after awhile you can look around and see who's beside you, doing the same". Good way to phrase it.

Multiple people have already thoroughly refuted your rather egregious claims, so I am going to content myself with thoroughly expressing my disagreement.
Horse turds.
Balderdash.
What a crock.
What a load of tribble droppings.
It's getting deep in here.
You're way out in left field. Without a ball glove. And you're looking the wrong way. And if you were looking the right way the sun would be in your eyes.
In other words I strongly, emphatically, vehemently disagree with your theory.

You keep saying that after the age of 27, a woman's chances of attracting a quality man pretty much drops off the face of the earth, so yes, it seems to me that you are saying that women after the age of 27 will be seen as having little or no value to any men who are of "good" or "higher" quality.
But regarding the fact that one can have a quality life, whether or not they have children... Ah, at last, this is something we can agree on.
I could be misinterpreting, but it seems that maybe there was a point in your life in which you would have liked to have had a family. I'm truly sorry if you feel that the desires of your heart were not met and I hope that God has blessed you in other areas of your life and has given you peace and contentment.
Thank you for answering my questions honestly and openly.

I am a Christian so for me if i marry it is for life.. I would never divorce my wife if she remained loyal to me and did not cheat on me..
So please do not speculate that i feel strongly about dumping a woman at 45 and getting another younger wife.. If you have a disagreement with what i say then deal with what i say.. Don't speculate or put positions onto me..
