Even if you already have the perfect husband, Jennifer Lopez’s dating advice could be helpful for your hopeless romantic friend. The 54-year-old singer and actress recently shared some wisdom on age and relationships during a Tinder “Swipe Session.”
During the session, Lopez helped a 29-year-old country singer named Brooke navigate the world of online dating. Brooke was looking for a “guy’s guy” on Tinder, and Lopez suggested some changes to her profile and offered some insights into the dating world.
One of Lopez’s debatable pieces of advice was that “Guys until they’re 33 are really useless.” While this may sound controversial, relationship expert Jane Greer believes there is some truth to it. She explained that men in their early 30s often have a sense of financial stability and maturity that comes with accomplishment and experience.
While this may not be true for every man, research suggests that men experience positive changes in their 30s. According to neuroscientist Jay Giedd, the part of the brain that affects decision-making continues to develop into the mid-20s and beyond. This growth and acceptance in their careers can lead to positive changes in their personal lives as well.
Whether you agree with Jennifer Lopez’s statement or not, it’s important to recognize your own self-worth and have high standards in relationships. Focus on self-improvement, and the right relationship will fall into place.
