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.

Well, then he can "go choke" on the food he got the senior discount on!
in the hopes of redeeming myself.
very succesful. with this pervert anyway :-D
LOL!!!
All us over 40 women want more details!
First I would like to know where to meet some.
Women in their late 30s, early 40s are typically at their most curvaceous. They also tend not to be as b-tchy and know what they are doing, unlike the Twenty-somethings I usually have to deal with.
:-D
actually golf is one of the only "sports" that you do not need another human to compete.
you still have to conquer the course.
now talk about something that may get me FLAMED
whats up with racing? its more the machine than the individual is it not ?
PLEASE NASCAR FOLKS dont throw me in that thar sand trap!
Speaking as a female, he wouldn't have a chance as anything. Personally, when I think about him without all that money, I visualize the guy behind the video counter. No offence to video counter people.
FReerepublic is a good place to work on it. :-)
all us men over 40 want LESS details.......more prenupts.
Thats when women are in their prime. Most men learn this eventually. lol.
Thats what I tell my son.
Racing is a hobby, not a sport.
It and other things all fall under entertainment.
Though you can get some exercise if you walk, the game of golf is way too slow for me to get into until I slow down. Maybe many decades from now when I am in my mid 70's I might go for it.
In the 10 or so times I have played, I have gotten two hole-in-ones. I heard the chances of that are so high that I should have been able to win the lottery several times as a more likely outcome.
Both times were lucky, first hole-in-one bounced all over the place, hit a tree which diverted it to the hold.
Second hole in one was toward the end of the course. I couldn't hit the side of a huge barn. Friends said go ahead and hit, you can't hit anything today anyway.
Well, I connected, hit the hell out of the ball and in the great distance saw my ball roll up and into the cup with people on that green jumping up and down all excited.
Total luck. I still want to win the lottery!!!!
Fewer years, on balance, means less baggage, as a general principle. (Of course there are exceptions, but I am just saying this as a general principle).
Baggage is the worst: I have zero tolerance for excess negative baggage.
It's one thing to get chewed out by your galpal for something bad or thoughtless that you did. That's fair.
It's another thing entirely to get chewed out for something you casually said or did that in itself is no big deal, but somehow reminds her of some jerk from her past - the guy she thought loved her but ended up horribly mistreating her.
Dealing with my self-created crap is one thing, but dealing with some other guy's crap is more than I care to bear.
It's completely an elective decision: I know that the market of women out there is such that I don't have to bear the burden if I don't want to.
I think women should do the same and reject men with similar hangups. Life is too short to deal with baggage - men and women with a lot of baggage, children, poor outlooks, etc, should just date each other and leave the rest of us alone (to have fun).
