[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men are attracted to a very high percentage of reasonably healthy (i.e. not obese), age approprriate women. [b]They are actually shockingly unpicky.[/b] You never hear single men complain about being single due to lack of appealing options. Single men are either single because they enjoy playing the field or because they can’t find any women AT ALL who will date them. Not everything is an organized oppression.[/quote] The only thing you got right in this nonsense was the bolded part. A man's checklist for a mate is two things: be hot enough, be willing. Women in contrast have 10 boxes on the checklist a man has to hit: wealth, height, job, dick, apartment/house, car, personality, family. et al. And as they get old and lose their physical value to men, women, get this---GET EVEN PICKIER. They basically give up on dating by their mid 30s instead of putting out more in hopes of finding a mate. Women are crazy. [/quote] From a woman’s perspective: In my 20s there was a tremendous amount of pressure to have a bf/fiancé/somehow be working towards marriage, so standards were lower. My friends and I all dated some real losers. Once I hit 30 I was done dealing with men’s B.S. If I was going to compromise my life for someone, they had to be amazing. Now I’m old enough that I don’t feel like my value is tied up in my marital status. If DH and I divorce, I will probably remain single. If people want to judge me, that’s okay with me. The happiest women I know are those in their 50s/60s/70s who are unmarried. They have full, rich, exciting lives, while most of the married women I know of that age are extremely stressed out over their husbands. Studies have even found unmarried women are much happier than married women. So, that’s why I’ve become pickier as I’ve gotten older. I don’t feel desperate like I did in my 20s. [/quote]
