Exactly. I'm 30 and I wouldn't give a 45 year old the time of day. I find plenty of men in their 30s (and late 20s) to date, why would I want to date someone that much older? I would make an exception for someone who was a great match with me, but women are not so desperate that they have to date men that much older. This goes for all of my 30 year old friends.
You and all of your 30 year old friends are single, at 30. Your risk of having a downie starts increasing now. Good luck.
Don't listen to that guy. DH and I had three kids spanning conception ages from 35 to 42. All are just fine. Poster sounds like he's 65 with completely out of date data -- proving that you should stick to a better informed guy in his 30s.
Actually I'm in my mid-30's, and she reminded me of the single women I know who slut around with caddish guys thinking they have all the time in the world to settle down. Truth is, if you're a woman at 30 with no LTR prospects, you're way behind in the game. Plus, if I was dating her, I'd wonder how many guys she was plowed by in her single days.

how do you think like a guy
My ideal guy is 28-35 (I'm 30). I have dated men older than that in a quest to be openminded, but deep down I am concerned about how many years they have left of attractiveness and I'd prefer not to have kids with someone older. I was dating someone recently who looks great on paper (well educated, excellent money, live of work compliments mine, nice guy) but I commented to my friend that based on his age, this is probably as good as it's going to get (he's overweight) and I'm scared he might get bigger. FYI, I don't agree with my friend. I attract young guys all the friggin time (early/mid 20s) and they're hot, but I can't deal with them once they open their mouths. I don't get why a woman my age would be interested in a guy who has probably slept around for decades, lived as an overgrown kid, and now wants to settle down with someone much younger. If I were to go older, I'd much prefer someone divorced with a kid, at least it means he's committed to something in his life before. Ending up with someone who was in HS when you were born just sounds like a raw deal. Sure, a guy in his mid 40s now might be doable now, but certainly not when he's entering retirement and I have several years of work ahead of me.
How bout a 36 year old professional who's in shape?

"sexual stride" is a madeup term. Women in their 20s are much hotter and more fertile.
Who cares about fertility? I'm much sexier in my 40s than I was in my 20s. Much more confident, and way more libido.

FWIW, the 30 - 30 Russian women were good for a whole lot of NSA sex. The 30 - 40 better for longer term relationships. Sucks now to be back in DC and have to deal with the pretty degenerate dating pool here.
