[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men age much worse than women, but by simply deciding their evidence of aging is less unsightly than women’s signs of aging, they live in denial about it. So odd. [/quote]

I don’t blame you for not being able to see women through men’s eyes, but you’re in denial about how bad older women look.[/quote]

Even if true, that ignores your own bias re: your own gender. We are all aging humans. I personally find balding incredibly unsightly, so that makes me judge male aging harshly, but there's nothing about male aging that favors them otherwise. Their hair greys, their skin sags and wrinkles, their body fat redistributes. There is no biological advantage in the aging game that favors men. [/quote]

I agree with this.  There is a period when women are looking for partners to settle down and start a family with, and women will prioritize things like stability and financial security over other qualities in a partner. During this period in a woman's life, older men are appealing.  However, once men are about 60, they're no longer husband material, so they don't get points for being smart and having a good job.  At that point, they look more like a liability, especially to younger women, so men of that age need to stay married, or if widowed or divorced, date within their own age range.  Even if men can find a younger partner, they won't be able to satisfy her for long.  Women over 60 generally aren't dating, anyway.   They are typically focused on friends, kids, and grandkids.  The ones who are dating are definitely not dating older, because men's lifespans are shorter, and the older they get, the more likely they are to need a caregiver-type partner.  No one wants to do that for someone they meet later in life, with whom they have no shared history or shared finances.   [/quote]
