Preach on, Sister!!!
I certainly don't see myself as having an expiration date.
I do often feel though that many men overlook women after a certain age (unfortunately, that age feels like 35, unless they're 70) because they feel we are "damaged" or "low performance" goods. (I suppose we could ask an entirely different question... If women would shy away from marrying a man on Viagra... but of course, that would open an entirely different can of worms that would probably be "deflated" as soon as it started. And naturally... no pun intended. )

That's a good thing because not only you will know for sure they don't live up to your minimum threshold of what you are looking for, but also they will filter themselves out from your potential pool. And you certainly know it's not how they look at you or what they think of you that determines your value.
