One listener, Jerry, emailed Lunchtime Live about something he wanted to raise following an item on the show.
Jerry writes: “However, the main point of this e-mail is to emphasize the hard truth that men don't want to date women over 30. Men very picky on age preference because men of nearly all ages prefer women in their early 20's (and scientific evidence has recently confirmed this).
Women are valued for their beauty which usually goes rapidly downhill after Age 25. So a man looking for children will look to date a woman 5+ years younger than 30. A lot of men refuse to date a woman over Age 30 because women approaching Age 30 are looked on as "damaged goods". I believe there is a phrase "hitting the wall at 30" to describe this. A woman aged 30 has a lower fertility because by the time she turns 30, she has lost 90% of her egg reserve and her fertility is already in decline.
On the other hand, men don't really have a biological clock so they have plenty of time on their side to find younger, more attractive women…
Jerry goes on to touch on other ideas, and Andrea discussed the email with listeners…
