By the time most women hit 26-27, they look worn. Im being completely honest. If you got money but even more important, know how to leverage the money to get their attention, you can get girls age 19-23 easy. Like super easy. It even surprised me lol. Its like its a woman's nature to go for guys with money and it doesn't matter if they are much older or looks. Women don't care about stuff like age or looks with a man much. Its about money and yes in some ways status. And Im talking about getting hot girls. Its like, the hotter the girl, the more she cares about money or status. Remember, once you get the money, you call the shots. Never simp out. You have the power, more or less. But you will realize there are a lot of simp dudes in the process. Don't matter. Just stay strong. So many options out here. Just gotta look. Especially overseas buddy lol.
Jaded? My body count is 80+ lol. I wouldn't call it jaded. Its called experience. And if a man burns a woman or a woman burns a man, I say thats life. There are good and bad men. Good and bad women. Im just giving you rules to the game. Women think they will attract better men by acquiring money, prestige and a better job. Men think more women will flock to them if they get muscles and become better looking. Neither is really true. Women are more into a guy's money and status and men into a woman looks. These are the facts of life. If you are start accepting them, you won half the battle. If you don't, you will be struggling with dating into your 50 and 60s. Anything else in terms of how dating should be "a partner should cook, should be romantic and buy flowers, should be loyal, etc" is an illusion set up by your own expectations.
