Short answer: the target audience is heterosexual males. Males as a rule place a higher value for their sexual interest on youth and prettiness (both of which are fairly reliable indicators of potential reproductive success). Women as a rule place a higher value for their sexual interest in wealth and status (both of which are fairly reliable indicators of potential reproductive success). The asymmetry is because the roles of men and women in reproduction are also asymmetric. Thank you for your insighful response. I see your point. So, where does Beth Mowins fit? Changing rules. It used to be that women TV news anchors and reporters would be pushed into off-camera positions once they started to look middle-aged, but that is no longer legally acceptable. (Or socially acceptable either. Hillary Clinton would have never been a serious candidate for president 20 years before, but in 2008 she was a legit candidate, not a token or stunt candidate in any way.)

Men age better than women . Fact of life, I guess.
