I googled her and she is one of those women that(regardless of age) she is walking a fine line between zooey deschanel hawt vs an sjw look(not hawt). With her it's all about makeup and hair. She needs to do her makeup and hair to look as feminine as possible, because when it goes slightly awry she has that lesbian man hating sjw look.

As for the wall....Im convinced part of this is just something us guys tell ourselves to 'get back'(in our minds) at all the girls who wouldn't sleep with us 5-10 years ago(or whatever). The reality is the 35 yo version of these girls still isn't sleeping with me, so why should I take delight in knowing that she can't hook up with the same 35 year old guys that she did when she was 25-30(and they were 25-30) and this bothers her.....and that's a ton of what I see when guys on rok and the like refer to the wall. I don't have any doubt that women DO experience a decline in garnering mens attraction as they go over 35 or whatever, but this is true for some degree for men as well...especially if they still want younger women.

Yes and no - yes there's a decline in "hotness" for men - but the attraction of men for women is far more nuanced than how the guy looks - and therefore his appeal can easily expand or at least hold steady for far longer than for the vast majority of women

Sure I think there is somewhat more leeway there...especially at the extremes when it comes to celebrity/power/money. If a guy is truly at the extreme end of either of those things, he's going to do pretty well with women even into his later years.

Im not saying that there aren't girls who are attracted to some 'sugar daddies' and the like.....I just don't think the ones that are certainly aren't the cream nor the most common.

The reality is that really pretty young people who are outgoing and popular tend to hook up with other really pretty young people who are outgoing and popular.....whether gay, straight, black, white, male, female, etc. And yes there is a certain subset of guys who can go much younger fairly easily(and still maintain standards with respect to personality, intelligence, looks, etc......because just about anyone can go younger if they give up those standards)....I just don't think that represents a large number of guys who can pull that off.

I also don't think the women who were gorgeous at age 28 and are now 36 and have hit this supposed wall have it nearly as bad as some manosphere sites portray. I know tons of mid 30s females who are doing extremely well out there with men. Do they get the same quality of guy that they did when they were in their mid 20s and gorgeous if they still happen to be single? Heck no....but that's life. When you read articles written by most of these women they are mainly bemoaning the fact that they can't entice the guy who is their own age and looks like a young brad pitt and makes 700k per year. There are still plenty of perfect eligible guys that will sleep with them; it's just that they are butthurt that the top 2% that used to want to rsfck them no longer does. what they need to do is realize that being invisible to the top 2% of men doesn't equal 'invisible to men' in general.

The authoreresses picture on the article? If so, I can explain the lack of catcalls. However, I can't explain the presumably imaginary earlier catcalls.

Um...no. Objectification is not the same as hatred - particularly when the decline of appearance of both sexes is mentioned.

Nice try tho.
