Then people went on to just list unmarried women over 25 under this trope. No matter her situation (see Rachel Weisz, who had been living with Darren Aronofsky for eight years now and still somehow qualifies, why not then just also add Helena Bonham-Carter - legally she isn`t married, and Tim Burton who?), or her actual desire to marry (Samantha from Sex and the City has never expressed any, quite the opposite, but, yet again, somehow qualifies, while Robin from How I Met your Mother misteriously doesn`t), or even her family`s desire to marry her off. It`s kinda understandable for manga and anime, where the cast usually consists mostly of teenagers, but in Western media, especialy in modern live action TV most of people are in their mid-twenties to at least mid-thirties, and Everybody Is Single, so married women under tventy five are rare, not vice vesa.

And then (as it is said on I Was Quite a Looker page) this trope somehow started meaning \\\"attractive woman from 25 years old to middle age\\\", which is downright ridiculous, What, an attractive woman that age is so noticeable between her contemporaries to be its own trope? Isn`t \\\"attractive woman from 25 years old to middle age\\\" just a synonim of an \\\"attractive woman\\\" as opposed to \\\"attractive girl\\\"?
