Honey if an older “mature” man wants to date you as a 19 year old woman he is NOT mature and you should RUN

Hey! Have you ever felt love or empathy or something of that kind?

"Women tend to peak earlier than men. A woman’s value is tied to beauty and youth; a man’s, to experience and achievement."

Thanks for stripping away the fluff and exposing that your conservative ideas about gender roles are nothing short of blatantly sexist. Because somehow women aren't also constantly growing, learning, and just as interested in personal achievement as men? This entire article is laughable -- no one in the real world cares about alpha male podcast terms such as "high value women." Really shows that the Sundial will publish any drivel.

Hi! I can see why people may interpret that line as sexist. However, I am making a point about the biological truth.

Putting the label “sexist” or “anti-feminist” on an observable pattern—that men tend to be attracted to youth, and women tend to be attracted to experience, maturity, and leadership, traits more common in older men—is simply unproductive. It does suck that men are usually the most attracted to women in their late teens and early 20s. But that is what happens. Ideology cannot overwrite biology. Hating the rules of the biological game and calling them misogynistic doesn’t mean you win. I hope for women to understand this, and try to understand what men want, so we can be more successful in dating.

I also don’t think the idea of striving to be “high value” should be politicized. The article calls for women to do more self-reflection, which doesn’t mean women are not interested in growing, learning, or personal achievement. There can always be more self improvement.

If these things really are biological truth, where do trans people, who rewrite their own biologies, fall in this? Where do gay people fall, wholly detached from a man-woman dichotomy?
