Q: I'm a woman in my "little" 30s and I am wondering: Why is it that men my age only want to date women in their 20s or early 30s? I've toyed with the idea of posting a personal ad on an online dating service, but when I went through the listings, it seemed that the men my age only wanted to date women ages 21 to 30! I feel so discouraged.
A: Men are pigs. This is my clinical observation, based on 12,464 interviews with single men over the last few years. And it's not only a woman's point of view. In fact, "men are pigs" is a direct quote from my husband, who is happy to trash his youth-obsessed gender.
Now the good news: The best thing about online dating is just what you have discovered. Individuals' profiles can be as revealing as an FBI dossier, but funnier! Do we really believe he keeps both "The Brothers Karamazov" and Playboy on his nightstand? Um, no.

You are so choosy
My wife is 10 years younger than me. When my father was 40 he married my stepmother who was 25. Their 25th year anniversery was right after Christmas.
Men want living dolls regardless of their age.
You know empty headed little playthings.:)
ducking
Miss Val would be the perfect solution.
Yep.
Agreed
From a woman's point of view....
I think what men really want is the youthful abandon and exuberance,the innocence,the joie de vive. I think if a guy could get that with a mature woman and not some little gym rat,he'd be content.After all, I should know....I'm 48 going on 18! {:D
Hey Dumpheavy, with an attitude like that, it's no wonder you're single, you sow.
Could be they want young or old, smart or rich or, it could just be they want what they can't have!
I think you are onto something.
dude..you really gotta get a life..

The "grass is always greener" syndrome?
I guess so, but you keep ending up on my threads. ;o\
I think the same argument can be said about women wanting a man that is : Tall, Not Fat , Educated , Wealthy.
Evolution might have something to say about it. Men who preferred older women were likely to have fewer offspring, because of lowered fertility and fewer years to make babies. Or, men who preferred younger women would have more descendants than the ones who preferred older women. After a few hundred generations of this, the pattern would be well-etched in DNA, and there would be darn few guys who prefer older women.
