  Well, a different perspective (as someone who was unwillingly tossed back into the dating pool at age 38). While online dating was indeed a bit of a nightmare, dating older women in general was a net positive for me. I liked people who have lived life a bit, made mistakes, hopefully learned from them, are past the point of obsession about body type, and are more focused on character and how to treat/be treated properly. People do learn and grow as they age, and most of us become better people.

  > Also 35 is the point where medicine considers a pregnancy to be 'geriatric'. Which is a dated term that isn't used frequently. Yes the risks for certain things increase after 35 but pregnancy after 35 or 40+ is healthy and common. > some people are going through menopause by 40! The average age of Menopause is 51, before 40 is considered "premature menopause". https://www.webmd.com/menopause/guide/premature-menopause-symptoms https://www.webmd.com/menopause/guide/premature-menopause-sy...

    Not to mention that plenty of people (men and women) just don't want kids.

  The technical term was 'geriatric primagravida' for us with a first child at 32! It felt quite insulting at the time.
