[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many single men aren't interested in dating because women get pickier as they age. It's amazing how many 40 something women would rather stay home and watch TV and play with their cats than actually go on dates.

And then they have the nerve to blame the guys who actually ask them out. They get off on the ego boost of being asked on dates and then act like they can do better. While they stay home and binge on ice cream and Netflix. Some life to live in a great city like DC.

Hmm, as a 40-something woman, I'm not sitting at home watching Netflix and binging ice cream.

It's more like, with the vast majority of men, I have to take charge on everything. I have to suggest meeting up, plan the date, make sure it's something he enjoys, get ready for it, keep the conversation going, etc.

If I'm going to put that much effort into an outing, I'd rather go do something I like. Go take a yoga or a ballet class, go hiking, or check out a museum or something. Which not many men are interested in doing. And I don't really want to waste an entire evening at a restaurant I don't like all that much (WHY do so many men only want to eat bar food??)

When they do initiate and plan dates, it's usually pretty lackluster (and often very last-minute). The last guy who asked me out invited me over for dinner, where he served me a single chicken breast and nothing else, put a Netflix movie on, and then tried to grope me the entire time. Yuck.

When a guy can actually plan ahead, plan an interesting date that I'd enjoy, and not use it as a ploy to get laid, I'll happily go out with him. But bare minimum effort isn't worth my time, when I can be doing the things I actually enjoy.

If men stop dating me because that's "picky", that's fine. We're both happier not wasting each others' time.[/quote]
