Mid-30s the top tier men are either married and fathers or soon-to-be fathers or dating younger.

The relatively good looking divorced dads of means are dating much younger women. 40-yr old neighbor, dad of two young boys, moved in when he and his (successful, pretty, same-age-as-him) wife separated. Within 6 months he had a 25 year-old girlfriend who clearly thought he hung the moon. The 25-yr old (who doesn't even seem to have a job) has since moved in. A 35-yr old would know this guy doesn't hang the moon, and he knows it. He isn't picking the young dummy because she's pretty, he's picking her because he knows that deep down he's a loser and older women would sniff it out quickly.

So there's that phenomenon going on. Divorced men dating 20-something women because they know the 30-something women wouldn't want them anyway (or they at least fear this).

You could be right, but as a mid-40s divorced dad, when I was first single I dated women in their 30s until three times in a row they wanted kids right away. That's when I updated my online dating settings to include 20s. Has nothing to do with thinking I hung the moon.

So you could use a woman longer? This makes no sense. Society going downhill right from this post. All about what I can get out from a person short term.

I’m sorry, I don’t know if this is sarcastic. Why would so many women settle for something like this? How would a man like this even get near a successful and attractive woman? Where are the handsome successful men?

This may sound terrible but I couldn’t help but notice how many of her stunning lifelong friends were either long-term single or their male companions (husbands, fiancés, and live-in boyfriends) were optics mismatches and also, many of them didn’t seem to have a lot going on professionally. I’m not just saying this because I’ve known them for so long. My daughter’s friends are very attractive, very sporty lifestyles, most have two degrees, and they are successful professionally. I’m sorry for noticing, but most of the men they were with just were not handsome at all. Even my husband noticed and he never makes comments like that.

Is this reflective of how challenging it is out there for women my daughter’s age?

And you in return will give them what exactly? We can count on you to raise a generation of children that are well cared for or is this all for your pleasure without anything in return?

Ah yes, because women are only good for breeding. Any relationship that does not result in procreation is a sin, amirite?

Yes. Especially if that isn't your long-term goal. Why should I applaud some 50 year old man being with a 20 year old he doesn't want to have a kid with? It's not good for the woman or the men her age.

It can be a tough age range for women in the dating world because there are more accomplished and attractive women looking for marriage and kids at this age than men looking for the same thing. Most who wanted it already have it and those who are single aren’t in as big a rush

* It is statistically improbable that a group of women who are “stunning find themselves paired off with chumps.

I believe you that the men that they were paired with were less masculine. Especially given that from what you have told us, this group of women is very likely left-leaning politically. People aren’t dating across political lines any more and I suspect that the guys you would find to be more conventionally masculine are on the other side of the political aisle.

Certainly improbable for median American women, but not improbable for:

Upper middle class to wealthy upbringings, high school student-athletes, selective sorority sisters, college educated, advanced degrees, spin yoga pilates runners, reside in a healthy city, good jobs, healthy eaters, low or no cigarette drug and alcohol use.
