The Biden Administration is worried these women will figure out why they are so depressed and drinking so much. And then stop voting for Democrats.
Your original comment was formulated in the Present Tense, as though your daughters were both still engaged in that questionable activity, hence our confusion.
Seriously: Are you trying to troll us? Informing us that your daughters now no longer sit at bars, simply waiting for strange men to buy them alcoholic drinks, but rather have now "professionalized" their activities, is hardly reassuring!

Ri-ight! As their eggs dry up and their assets sag, their prospects for Dating and Long-Term Relationships actually increase!
Everyone knows this to be true!
Why on Earth would a 40-year-old man looking to finally settle down and begin establishing his legacy set his sights on a fresh, innocent 25-year-old woman at the height of her sexual appeal / fertility, when he could instead have a 40-year-old nag with, say, 15 years of soul-wrenching dating experience - incl. maybe a failed marriage or two - under her belt?

I think that Don W was merely implying that, as a younger woman, AOC was somewhat less disgusting - not that she was a beauty pageant contestant.
I also know young moms with special needs kids...
I also know some people who have gone over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and survived. And people who have smoked three packs a day, and lived to a hundred.
Statistical anomalies and outliers. Citing them does not strengthen your argument.
...and some men do not want kids or more kids.
Yes, and there are probably also some women who don't care about financial security or professional success when seeking a husband. Who prefer the lay-about who dropped out of high school and wandered the streets for a few decades trying to "find himself."
Again, you are roiling the waters of this discussion with your references to tiny minorities and exceptions to the rule.
Even if a man doesn't want (more) children, when seeking a mate, he will (all other factors being equal) invariably prefer the woman who at least looks like she could still bear him (healthy) children, as opposed to a woman who is obviously far past her prime.
I also know older women in very happy long-term relationships with younger men.
Does that happen so frequently as to warrant advising young women to postpone finding a husband and founding a family until after they've spent decades partying and "riding the carousel?"
Are you seriously suggesting that that is sound advice?
You are grasping at straws.

“Well I am a woman that never thought AOC was hot.”
There has been a long-running debate here at FR over AOC’s looks. Everyone dislikes here politics and personality, of course, but there’s a small cohort that has expressed the opinion that she’s “hot” or “attractive.”
I’m with you in that I don’t think that AOC is or has ever been “hot” or “attractive.” Her looks are not hideous, but if I were in her age range, and I knew nothing of her politics, and we were both single, would I ask her out? No, I would not. She just doesn’t have it going on, for me at least.
The Romans used to say, “De gustibus, non disputandum est.” (”Concerning tastes, there is not a dispute.”), And that’s what it boils down to. Some look at AOC and see a “hot” or “pretty” or “attractive” young woman. Others look at the same woman and are like, “Meh.”
Her and Jack Benny.
After the ripe age of 24, statistically, a woman’s chances of having a healthy baby go down every year. So marry that 21 year old who thinks you are gross! Personally, I would rather not take the chance with old sperm, even if it was rich. Also according to some here they All hit the wall so then you will not be happy no matter how young you marry as you are basing relationships on youth, which is fleeting.
Yes, according to men.
“...[the] ‘pinking’ of products is a tactic commonly used by the alcohol industry to target the female market.”
I blame the Susan G. Komen Foundation for my drinking problem!
I remember one October when I was buying Chicken Chow and the bag was PINK! That didn’t make me want to eat Chicken Chow, though. All of my ‘camo clothes’ are a pink and camo blend - so there’s that. :)
In all seriousness though, I had to ‘break up’ with a dear friend of 30 years over her drinking problem. It was a hard thing to do, but it was me or the booze, Girlfriend.
So tragic. I’ve watched a number of these videos and I can’t watch any more. Such broken women, and men too. Women at their peak beauty from about 16 to 29. They learn very quickly how much influence they can have. They are deceived into thinking everyone is nice to them because they are so wonderful.
Many are dangerously and sometimes willing naive and are taken advantage of by males. They get run through multiple dozens of times, maybe have a child or two out of wedlock and then are in misery in their 30s, alone and basically unwanted in their 40s, outside of giving themselves away for random hook-ups.
As I said, I can’t watch the misery of how broken and desperate people have become. Too sad and pathetic. But yeah, women completely believed all the feminist lies from Hell about being a strong and independent woman and it destroyed them.
So these women are required to marry young so their husbands can leave them for someone younger when they are past their peak beauty? A tale as old as time. If possibly they do not want to have children or have children yet and they are self made and very well off due to their own hard work is that a crime? It scares you that a woman could be more successful than men? It is possible to freeze eggs before age 24. Girls are now going boy sober and not having sex with anyone until they are ready so maybe they are figuring out how to rely on themselves and better themselves. Young people are not drinking like previous generations. It used to be soley a man’s world. Women will own nothing and be happy barefoot and pregnant?
My dad came from a long line of town drunks. He could get falling down drunk on two 3.2 Oklahoma beers.
His kids have not fallen into the alcohol trap.
“Skutt Farcus! He had YELLOW EYES! YELLOW EYES!”-A Christmas Story
We’ve 6 point beer now and I started drinking it.
Preach it, Brother!
BTW: I learned that expression only a few months ago; you are officially the first person I've seen use it and properly conjugate it. In every other instance I've ever seen, people write, "get ran through."

Bingo!!!
DEAR JANE: My wife gave up drinking - and it’s RUINED our marriage... can I divorce her over her sobriety?

By all accounts then you don’t seem to have a problem.
Nothing wrong with a nip now and then. For me I had to part ways with John Barelycorn many moons ago.
The freight was getting to heavy to bear.
Yeah, alcohol can be your slave or your master and it’s usually your master unless you’re disciplined.
