Girls are like Christmas Cakes?!

I just turned 25. I'm not exactly excited about my new age. Anyway, a friend said something to me which I thought was quite 'funny'. He said, 'Girls are like Christmas Cakes. Before 25, they are in demand. After 25, they are no longer desirable.' Upon hearing that, my first immediate reaction was to hit him and asked him to Shut Up. Do you agree with him?

lol =D Christmas in really on the 25th, and he is right, b4 the 25th, everybody are fighting to preorder the cakes, and after the 25th, even there's nobody to finish the cake, they will just throw them away.. lol He's very right in describing the cake.. lol =D But he's wrong about the gals, gals are undesirable after 25 like that, but when they hit 30s, they become much desirable again, because a much different side of them is showing up.. haha

haha.. I forgot to mention 1 thing, gals after 30s will become woman, regardless of single or not, and they are no longer attractive with their naive or innocent minds, instead, it's the charm they have.. haha

my goodness... you are so young! don't listen to your friend's nonsense. Going by his theory, that means that every one before the age of 25 must get hitched? As long as you are confident in yourself, I am sure there will be someone out there who will be attracted to a person who is older than 25. If not, how do you account for all those couples who got hitched by the match making agency? All those celebrities who get married after they are 25. Divorce and then remarry again? If there is no attraction to people who are older than 25, then all the above will never happen liow. You are right in telling your friend to shut up.

when I was your age, I barely graduated. Searching for a job and hoping to settle down with a comfortable pay. The whole world is still out there waiting for you to explore. How I wished I was still 25.

ROFLMAO Um yeah... well, here;s the thing: At 25, I was a s dumb as can be. I knew nothing and fell for many things easily. I believe they call it naive. By thirty I was way smarter and able to identify the rubbish men tried to make me believe. So, my guess is that what they really mean is that they want their women stupid. Otherwise, we'd never fall for the rubbish they chat us up with. But, the good ones stayed by my side all along. Now those guys are worth taking time for at age 25. Take heart, and "sock 'em one', if you need to: in jest of course. Happy birthday sweetie. Marry not lassie. Marry not. Not sure, why...but though I'd add that to the mix for fun.

I wish you all the best either way. The point is however; don't listen to men that insult. Hold on for the one that is respectful: even for simple friends. Just that. Not that I know anything still. LOL

Thanks! My friends find me naive. Hopefully, with age, I will grow smarter.

Hi poohgal, Twenty-five is a wonderful age and I see no reason for you not to be excited about it. Most girls don't marry that young anymore and many are still in college or university. Your friend is completely wrong, it's when girl start to become desirable. Blessings.

Christmas cakes? Did he mean fruitcakes? Women are like fruitcakes? I think I'd punch him out, personally. Seriously, though. Twenty-five is a good age. So is thirty-five and forty-five. Every age offier something different that the others cannot offer.

And don't you let him tell you that women over 25 are not desireable. Remember...women are in their prime about 32-36.

WOAH!!! That's quite a statement! I understood why you hit him and told him to shut up he he he he...Well, I got married only when I was 27. My aunt got married for the FIRST time when she was 49 years old. One of my Mom's friend got married when she was 39 and her sister was also the same he he he...Not in the demand anymore? I guess it all depends...not everybody finds love so early.

No, he is wrong. I am 51 years old and I feel that I look and feel better today than I did when I was 25 years old. And a whole lot smarter too. Give him a nudge from me too, while you are hitting him. hehe He must be pretty young himself to say that and we/you could come up with something to say back at him about his age being just a young boy. Something to that affect. hehe Just kidding, have some fun with him and humour him, my friend. We are as young as we feel.

Haha.. I will.. He is Older than me. 2 years older. He is one of those guys who think that guys 'appreciate' with age and girls 'depreciate' with age..

Any Asian mother will agree with him, but age is just a number. Some women really blossom in their thirties and forties- have a look at certain celebraties and you will agree. Halle Berry is in her forties and she is one of the most desirable women in the world. Give the guy a punch from me too!

True. I suspect my mother might agree too. Halle Berry is definitely gorgeous. Julia Roberts too. I will give him a punch when I see him again.

Hi Poohgal, hope you have had a great time celebrating such a nice age. Wished I was here earlier to wish you, anyway your friend was just pulling your legs...you know..guys. I am sure he does look at women in their 30'ssss, gawking perhaps when they walk pass him. And my dear, they are so many young guys nowadays prefer 'older'ladies...lol. Just enjoy this good age and I bet in time you will grow to be more desirable and sought after..wink..wink. Cheers and have a good day!

I dont support yr friend. But the reason he would have told this is that actually, when u be below 25 you look young. As yr age passes, u start developing wrinkles in yr face and many other probs. But even after 25 u can manage to look young like by doing excercise, yoga and cardio. When u'll be between 25-35 yrs and still look like 20, so tell me how will others know wat is yr correct age??{except close friends} Hehehe...

How flattering is that...being compared to Christmas cake!! I would have slapped him aswell, in the joking way though!! So if we are being compared to Christmas cake, what are boys compared to??? Why are you asking if people agree to it??

Yes. Definately I couldnt agree more. When they are desirable, they are looking for their prince to come with his white horse. When they passed 25 and saw there is no prince, they change their mind.
