Don't women have any control over their level of attractiveness?

Well I guess there's plastic surgery but I'm sure any sensible woman won't decide on her self worth dependent on how attractive men find her.

exploit the attractiveness that comes with experience and maturity.

That's what I'm talking about though, apparently attractiveness doesn't come with experience or age for women yet it's supposed to for men.

Think its a bit flawed. Women at 50 can appeal to men younger, but larhely older. Not all men wnat children and by that age they might be divorced and fed up with family.

Both men and women are born with a certain level of attractiveness (notwithstanding different people like different things).
You can have a career for financial self sufficiency.
You can make the most of what you have, dress and style.
be in ood physical shape.
Personality , intelligence, confidence and being good company
experience is not to be sneered at sexual and other.

Men also have these challenges.

I guess so, this smv thing doesn't seem to take any of that into account it is very generalised. There was a thread about Hugh Jackman who is married to an average looking wife more than 10 years older than him. Many said that because his 'smv' is sky high they couldn't understand why he was still with her and not 'upgrading' to a young model Some said they were baffled and tried to give explanations like maybe she's a good housewife. The idea that he might just love her wasn't mentioned once

Yes thats the obvious one I missed out. If your in a relationship then you move past looks. I thought you were on about the single 50 yeat old back on the market. Jerry Hall is an interesting example as Tipert could have married quite a few.

Btw Hugh dotes on his wife and he thinks he's the lucky one if youve ever seen any interviews.

They can work to maintain their looks

I was on about single 50 year olds back on the market I was just diverting a bit. My guess is that even if he is lucky (she might be an awesome person) he will probably just be saying that he's the lucky one to please her/make her feel better.

improve career, develop a good body, 'game' etc

I was bored and came across a website that seemed to contain threads by some self assured and fairly angry men . I think it was made to help men through life and there was a thread about SMV (sexual market value). They all agreed that men were more sought after as they aged and developed themselves whereas for women there was a dramatic drop after 35-40 (due to biological lack of fertility cues and loss of youth). At this point apparantly men have the upper had and women become unwanted if they are looking to date. There is some biological truth to an extent but a lot of generalisations about women and some posts made out like it was set in stone.

I wondered then, as women get older say through their 50's, is there snything they can do to increase their 'SMV'? Since men appear to have control of their smv (can improve career, develop a good body, 'game' etc which apparantly are all sought after traits. However according to this theory women have no control, smv all seems to be tied to their youth and fertility. Its ironic that as men who want to be in control they take on and follow a theory where they have all control over their smv

So just wanted opinions, what do you think women can do to work on themselves, or this smv, as they age?
