• Why does a man look at an older woman?

    The age of the requirement

  • Throwaway links: the search for love in the time of Tinder

Singleness

is the

word that has marked the chronicle of

Tamara Falcó

throughout her 40 years of life.

Too much pressure?

Perhaps, but she has overcome it

with humor

and a busy social life that many married women would like for themselves.

And it will not have been for lack of rich candidates, heirs, bourgeois or villains.

Even her mother, Isabel Preysler, has had to come to her defense by insinuating that she has been, on more than one occasion,

a runaway bride.

That happened and there is already a wedding announcement with her boyfriend

Íñigo Onieva

(33 years old).

We also have date,

engagement ring of

Italian origin with

three diamonds

and place of the ceremony.

As expected, it will be held in

El Rincón,

the medieval castle that she inherited after the death of her father, Carlos Falcó.

Our concern is not, obviously, for the details, but for what it is like to

arrive at the altar for the first time at the age of 40,

which is the age of the

Marchioness of Griñón.

Marriage at 40, like Tamara Falcó: it's not too late

Is there something I should know?

If we stick to the figures prior to the pandemic -since it disrupted any statistics-,

young people today do not want to go through the altar

or the court.

However, those who decide do so at a taller age.

According to the latest report from the National Institute of Statistics, men marry at 38.7 years and

women at 35.9 years.

Tamara is five years late, but we have

good news.

40 is a magical age.

It presupposes

more common sense, maturity, desire,

attitude and a more defined scale of values.

It is desired with intensity and more when it seemed that it would never arrive.

In the end, each achievement is received with greater feeling and joy.

It is

the pleasure of waiting.

It is also a stage in which the woman has had time to

form her character

and she knows her peaks and valleys, her honey and gall.

Love and sex at 40 are better lived

As a gift for the Marchioness of Griñón, we will not fall short when it comes to valuing love.

There is no age to love

.

The proverb is very old and has not lost its validity, despite the fact that we could cite some study that could spoil the party.

For example, that of

Nicholas H. Wolfinger,

a sociologist at the University of Utah (USA), who placed the perfect age to marry

between 28 and 32 years.

According to his data, from then on,

the probability of divorce increases

by 5% for each year of delay.

But wedding bells are ringing and it must be emphasized that

at 40 a woman is fully sexually mature.

With a little effort and a little imagination, she still doesn't need to play hide-and-seek to meet her libido.

It is true that testosterone and estrogen levels decline, but

sexual desire is a mental state

that can be encouraged from the brain.

This is confirmed by a study carried out by the Victoria Milan dating website on intimate habits, which reveals that

women over 40 masturbate between three and five times

a week.

An old first marriage has the advantage of novelty.

What is released is always happy.

This is what the Australian sexologist

Cyndi Darnell comes to say,

who assures that there is nothing more exciting to enliven the relationship than a change of scene.

How many couples reach 40 fed up with routine?

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Newlyweds,

communication as a couple is at its peak and one is old enough to identify and express

what their pleasures

or reluctance are in bed and out of bed.

And if one is old enough to have matured, also to have learned

to treat oneself with affection

and to

recognize oneself as charming and seductive

beyond a few pricks that peek out from under the bra or a cheekbone that has lost its original position.

We are supported in this idea by the result of a survey published in the magazine PlosOne that says that, around the age of 40, men and women

stop giving priority to physical attractiveness

to opt more for confidence and

emotional connection.

And motherhood, for when?

Experience allows us to suspect that the next toston that the Marchioness of Griñón will have to face from the press and her entourage will be about motherhood.

Spanish women have children later and later.

According to 2021 statistics, the average age for giving birth to the first is

31.54 years.

It is the highest record in a historical series that continues to grow.

In addition,

new mothers over the age of 40

have multiplied

by eight

in the last two decades.

This is not the time, therefore, to judge whether it is convenient or not.

According to the

Spanish Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics,

the ideal age is when the pregnant patient

is ready,

although it is true that if the ovules are her own, there will be a greater probability of presenting

chromosomal alterations.

Wedding or wedding?

If age is not an obstacle to love, enjoy sex or be a mother, even less so to prepare a wedding and

celebrate it in style.

In addition, any firm is prepared to

dress a bride of more or less age,

size, style or personality.

They are the first that

have unearthed clichés

and prejudices when pleasing the bride in the choice of dress, especially knowing that she will be clear about what she likes, what suits her and what image she wants to project that day.

Just look at the exclusives of some famous couples to intuit that, at 40 and 50,

weddings are more authentic.

The bride and groom dare to let go and

enjoy themselves without bending to the expectations

of the family or the social conventions that prevail when one marries in their twenties.

had just turned 43 when she married

Travis Barker last May.

True to her style, she spared no detail: an Italian castle,

a white Dolce&Gabbana dress,

tulle gloves, and a riot of lace and satin.

Tamara Falcó is not alone: ​​famous "first-timers" at weddings at 40

Cameron Diaz

gave the surprise in 2015 when she married singer

Benji Madden.

She was 42 years old and in her speech she gave the reason for waiting: "

I didn't want to settle. Now I have the best possible man.

My special man. He is mine."

Despite her long sentimental life, she never intended to get married, but the rocker came and changed her intentions.

It was also her first wedding for him.

After five years of pregnancy attempts and in vitro fertilization, they had

a daughter via surrogacy

in 2019. She recently reflected on late motherhood with these words: "Having a family when you're young is like everything you do when you're young: you just do it But when you're my age and you decide to have it, it

's a very thoughtful decision."

Salma Hayek

reversed the order.

First, motherhood.

Then marriage.

She met billionaire

François-Henri Pinault

in 2006 and a year later they announced their engagement and

pregnancy with a girl,

Valentina, who was born a few months later.

But they broke up and the wedding plans went down the drain.

In 2009, and without prior notice,

they married privately

on Valentine's Day.

Salma was then 42 years old.

There was a second ceremony, this time with a big party at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice and

a princess-cut dress by Balenciaga.

"The best blessing I've ever had in my life," the Mexican actress wrote later on her Instagram account.
