Unfortunately what I said still applies. Many women pretend they are in their early 20s through most of their adult lives. Many instathots in their 30s and 40s. Of course, they rely on lots of filters, deceptive angles, etc. or their profile photos are old enough to be an adult themselves. 42 is the new 27, that’s the current state of the modern woman.
There is a “Sex and the City” sub-generation of women, who are in their 40s who based their entire lives around that show and rather than finding their Mr. Big, are now accumulating cats and medication. I know a few of these women and are still trying to pursue the occasional hookup with younger guys but like you said, they’re there to fulfill a cougar fantasy and will move on once they’re done exploring the fantasy. These are the same women that often screech about age gaps between older men and younger women.
