Have you ever thought about all the subtle ways a man can tell that you're not at the peak of your youth anymore?

It's not any one thing, it's a thousand things. The way your skin looks, the way it sags, the way you look "sad" or "tired" or "sick." Men can't express these things, but they see them. They feel them. They can smell the old on you.

Imagine how excited a guy is to be dating 20-21 year old. You've heard them say it. Now imagine the opposite of that excitement. That's how they feel when they start dating you. Even if they really like you, they think "haha 24 is still pretty good I guess.." and swallow the disappointment. They begin counting the years they have left until you look "tired" all the time. At a gut level, they know it's only a few.
