Male-Female Power Dynamic part 2: The mid 30s Power Flip

Here's something interesting, I'd been meaning to write about for awhile...

Men often like to say that women have all the power when it comes to social situations.

Obviously I don't believe this to be true, but I will say that attractive women in their twenties have a lot more options than attractive men in their 20s.

The reason is that as a society we award social status to women based almost entirely on their looks and desirability. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it's just the way it is.

This is where, students of evolutionary biology would then argue that a woman in her 20s is more attractive to a man because her youth sends signals that she is fertile and more easily able to reproduce. If you subscribe to the philosophy that all of life can be boiled down to survival and replication, you can skip to the end of this article now :)

Beyond that I want to discuss a few more reasons why men tend to be attracted to younger women:

1. Social Status. If I had a dollar for every douchey mid to late twenties instructor has tried to brag to me about dating an 18 year old, I'd be making it rain like Pacman Jones. Guys(and a certain sector of girls) also tend to idolize Hugh Hefner and his lifespan of the average African American male in America (52 years) sized gap in age with his girlfriends. Simply put guys seem to think dating younger girls make you seem cool. Sidenote- I don't agree with this theory and think anyone under 25 is retarded guy or girl.

2. Naivety. Younger girls don't generally know enough about the world to understand the complex dimensions of relationships. They haven't yet been hardened by the world, and the fact that most guys suck. So when you say you're going to dinner with a friend in Malibu, they don't ask many questions. Simply stated you get away with more stuff. Though you make up for it in hours of uninteresting conversation and gossip. Kill me.

Ok, so there's a lot of reasons why an attractive woman in her twenties has a higher ceiling for meeting an awesome guy than a woman in her 30s. Ironically this exact process happens in rerverse regarding men and women in their mid thirties.

See, a man at 35 has a higher ceiling for getting an attractive woman than a man at 25. Not only does he benefit from the power flip with older women, but he has amassed a decade more of social status and resources. So he's more attractive to the younger woman as well.

Most importantly women who remain single after 30 become more desperate to find someone because of a combination of biological(Gotta have a baby!!!) and social ( her parents and friends asking her when she's going to get married) pressures. Add in guys tending to get better looking or look the same as they age and women having a much harder time keeping their looks and you have a recipe for dating ease.

The mid 30s power flip is one of the reasons I find it funny when 33 year old guys are worried about not being able to get dates.
