[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in San Francisco and saw women maybe ten years older than me who had so much to offer and were single.  They were beautiful, athletic, great jobs, the whole thing.  And yet every guy I knew who wanted a girlfriend had one, even if they were schlubby, unemployed, whatever.   I saw the writing on the wall and moved away.

In some cities the demographics just don’t work in a woman’s favor.  [/quote]

Yes very true in nyc - the men prefer to wait until 33-35 to even start thinking about marriage[/quote]

Man here and among my circle of friends (all college educated, decent careers) all of them waited until around then to get married, and some as late as 40. There was no sense of urgency in our 20s.[/quote]

And I think this is where there are problems that surface. The men do not think of marriage at the same time but women are conditioned to find an equal here so when I dated older guys I just found myself feeling like it wasn’t right because I didn’t have as much to offer. I think women in other countries are more conditioned to date older guys. To me it just felt weird. I wanted a best friend who enjoyed the same shows and had a similar upbringing. Could laugh at the same 80s and 90s jokes etc. [/quote]
