I think MOST women see their guy catching a quick peek at younger, more fit women and it can be a total mind "F".
Also for a 40+ year old woman with more responsibilities, bodies don't easily just snap back.
Women need a REASONABLE amount of reassurance.
Isn’t the (biological) point of female beauty to attract a male partner 👉 have child 👉 continue bloodline.
I understand the shock of “losing it” — but women discuss this as if the tradeoff wasn’t worth it.
What do you want, to be young & pretty forever and just die out.
