The period in a life when the one'
s attractiveness starts to decline. "To hit the
wall" means to start losing beauty and youth. The metaphor is overwhelmingly more often mentioned regarding women (considering the significance of beauty in a female's life) to manifest the decline in their attractiveness, which starts revealing itself at about the age of
25. Usually after that age a female understands, that the
titanic is sinking, and she desperately starts searching for a husband that would take care of her. The further behind "the
wall", the more desperate a female is in seeking for a marriage/commitment from a
man. The phenomenon is largely underappreciated among the young women due to their overinflated
ego and the society unwilling to hold women least bit accountable for their actions.
"Damn, another female in my comments that's hit the
wall really hard... No wonder she's so bitter."
"Did you know John recently married that 33 years old brunette?"
"Yea, what's up with him? She's about his age... Doesn't he see that she's hit the wall?"
"Well, he thinks she's a unicorn, head over heels in
love. Poor
man."
