[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men are wired to be attracted to fertility, which favors 18-35 year olds.  Women are wired to be attracted to competence, status and ability to provide. This inevitably leads to age gaps that tend to grow as people age.[/quote]
That's all true, but it's a bad deal for the younger woman as time goes by. [/quote]

Men and women just hit their primes at different ages. From 18-30 or so, attractive young women rule the roost, whether they realize it or not. They can enjoy being chased and courted by men while they are "in bloom" so to speak. For most young men, this is a difficult time (unless they are unusually high-status).

After 30-35, the pendulum shifts. Nothing is forever. [/quote]

Most of the women I know who were pretty, smart and nice married in their late 20s to men who were also smart, good-looking and nice, and roughly the same age. Only men at the very bottom of the dating pool have a tough time in their 20s. Those same men wil struggle in their 30s and 40s as well.[/quote]
