    Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it’s called Invisible Woman Syndrome.

    Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let’s not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

      Honestly I don’t see them complaining nor are they pretending that it’s uniquely male. I just don’t see any words to support that. Do you think you might be reading a bit too much into it?

        Nope. Just reading with basic comprehension:

        Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.

        The context of which was that women don’t experience this because OP was making the claim that young women can ‘have their pick of men’ when ever they want.
