[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ladies - don’t listen to these posts, they are ridiculous.  Signed a woman in DC who was in her 30s when she met her younger (late 20s) cute, sweet, normal, husband, had two kids and has been happily married 27 years. And, trust me, I’m just regular pretty - not some model-looking person claimed to be necessary to attract a younger husband.  Let your fear go and live your life.  [/quote]

Things have changed in 30 years. Something called "tinder". [/quote]

+1.  I love that someone whose dating life took place in the 90s and 80s (and maybe even 70s!) thinks she's some authority on the current singles' scene.[/quote]

What are you talking about? If you look at marriage stats over time, women dramatically marry men closer to their age compared to 20, 30, 40 years ago.  Now most marriages involve women within 2-3 years of their partners age.  Men marrying women 15, 20 years younger than them is much more rare than 30 years ago, it’s a big change. [/quote]

Your math doesn't work. Decades ago most women were married in their early to mid twenties. It was unusual for women in their 30s to be unmarried. Today, there are way more unmarried 30 something women looking for partners. Their male counterparts can EITHER marry younger, marry their age, or not marry. It isn't a 1 to 1 playing field.
