I'm 32. I am looking at the author with a side eye. (Girl are you that insecure about your age?). Having fun especially in your 30's is a GIVEN RIGHT. Because your 20's is figuring out yourself and frontal lobe developing. Then when you hit your 30's, Especially when you have no kids or husband!!! There's so many ways to treat yourself.
I guess it depends on culture. Where I'm from a girl after the age of 25 is considered too old. And after 32 she's a hag. Yes men do lust after them but they don't consider them marriage material. Funny enough the men themselves are above 33 with big belly and receding hairline. It baffles me every time I see a 35 year old uncle marry a 20 year old girl.
I mean if you are a single woman in SK on your 30s you are considered old and overused. Men are something else there.
That's why it's kinda refreshing to have younger ml trope in hetero romance for me, but I'm tired with the fl saying "huhu I'm so old, you're young" like, man, she's still in her 30. In real life that's the age where women finally open themselves to date as their twenties spent for studying and looking for job. 30 is stable age this days
what type of shithole do u live in that’s crazy
That's the thing I keep telling myself. Why was I born in this country. Even one of my friend who is 22 married her highschool teacher ( above 32) . Now there is nothing wrong as long as they are consenting adults. But the fact that he started dating her since whe was 15-16 ish. That's what bothers me. Even people around keep telling me I'm at the age of getting married ( I'm 22) and my father should start search for a good son in law. Thank fully my father would never force me to marry. But what worries me by the time I'm financially and mentally prepared to actually settle down ( after 27-28 ) men will reject me cause I'm too old.
that’s deranged behaviour from predatory men… you’re not too old, men just want you at an age that they see as innocent and easy to manipulate or change to their whims. they don’t want a partner but a maid who will do as they say, this is extremely pedophilic, i’m sorry you have to be raised in such a shitty culture where your father is deciding who is worthy to marry you, as if you’re cattle being sold to market. it’s insanely backwards to think of a daughter as something to pass along to the next man, and that’s why these type of countries rarely progress or produce thinkers and innovators
Reading straight with mature women. is really have strange vibes like I often read old man yaoi and 30+ men romance is like oxygen for me (30 isn't even 'old men' yaoi category for me). And then in straight, they care so much about women's age even tho she's only 34 damn, my auntie is 35 she got younger guys (adult) simping for her. Though I understand age is sm sensitive for older women, probably the reason why hetero romance often with female characters around age 18-25 with much more older or same age ml
