This line of thinking is cruel. Would you describe your mother that way? Your sister? Your wife, when you are over 40? These people you are talking about are pretty attractive, for the most part. I don't care for the actresses themselves or their whining, but I just felt PAIN at your description of us over-40s. So that's how the average man sees us?

I'm well over 40, as is my wife. When you have somebody who is focused on making you happy, the fact that she's no longer 29 and 98 pounds is not important

On the other hand, when you have somebody who ONLY ever had looks going for her, whose looks were the ONLY reason men tolerated her company, it's a whole different story

As I tell my teen daughter: "Guys don't respect sluts. The defining characteristic of a slut is being such a loser that you HAVE to use your sexuality in order to get guys to tolerate having you around. Don't be a slut. Make sure you have substance behind the face, and you will have guys interested in hanging out with you. And how can you tell which guys are the ones who are interested in your substance rather than your breasts? They're the ones who stick around after you make it clear you're not dealing any out until marriage"

"Guys don't respect sluts.

Just curious, and don't take this the wrong way, because I do agree with some of what you're say here....but what is your definition of a "male slut"? Do they even exist in your world?

I like your way of thinking! And you sound like a great father for your daughter.
