[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smaller pool, men can date younger women, but you also have less tolerance for BS. You’re probably pickier than you were in your 20s, which isn’t a bad thing.[/quote]

Of course, the dating paradox---women become less desirable as they get older, yet they get pickier. No wonder there's so many spinsters here whining about not being able to find decent men.[/quote]

Is it really whining if it's true?

Over the last 6 months, between the sex scandal revelations and the comments of the bystanders and justifiers, all of which have triggered self-reflection about the large role sexual assault, harassment and abuse have played in my own life, my view is that the # of men in the 40+ range who are "decent" is indeed slim.

And, I'm not sure it's really right to call it being "picky" to refuse to include men like these in my dating pool. [/quote]

Oh please. Millionaires used to having pretty little things at their fingertips on demand are making the news. What does that have to do with your dating life unless you're already excluding the 99% of us who don't have the money to treat people like crap? The fact is women become connoisseurs as they get older, and the few men who meet your standards can pick and choose.

Not rich guy who has pursued women his own age for years.[/quote]
