Men don’t care as much as women when it comes to aging. I am yet to hear of all kinds of anti-aging scams for men and all these money men spend on beauty products that I already mentioned. It is women actually who make it more of a deal than men when it comes to aging.
Meh, there are plenty of men buying hair dye and rogaine and viagra as we speak.
Let's recap this sad truth; A great many American men, regardless of their looks--or lack thereof--are seeking younger women. For whatever reason, these men feel that, no matter how big their belly has gotten, no matter how many wrinkles they've formed, no matter how much hair they've lost....feel they deserrrrrrve someone much younger. These delusional men like to put women their own age down for looking as old as they do. Did you hear that? AS OLD AS THEY do. These same men then turn around and ridicule women for trying to look younger..... Can anyone say, Damned if we do and damned if we don't?
Very few do actually. Most people don't take exceptional care of themselves, men included. Hollywood people are paid to do that. They have a lot of incentive. In average society, even men who are obviously showing their middle age spread are duped into thinking they look better 'because they're older'. LOL It's called distorted self-image. It makes them think they deserve someone better looking than what they have once they get older, even when they don't look so hot anymore. It's a strange phenom. LOL
Are you seriously telling me that there's a world of difference regarding looks (or any other aspect) between a woman your age and one 5 years younger?
This is the part I don't understand. You can usually tell a 20 year old from a 40 year old, but may not be able to tell a 30 year old from a 40 year old. The 40 year old could look 30 and the 30 year old could look 40.
Why would you would dismiss the potential for dates/relationships based on what age you "think" they might be based on outward appearance?
What you fail to include in your statement IS, men may think the young girls are the most attractive - but they ALL dont want to be in a relationship with them! Some want a woman of a different age - whether it is an older woman, or a woman their own age if they are 30, 40, 50, 60 or whatever! Someone who they feel is more of a good life partner for them.
It's not a FETISH. It's called falling in love with someone for reasons other than looks. Are we in the Twilight Zone here?? Is anyone here over 19 years old??
That's true some men don't want to be in relationships whether the woman is younger or older besides strictly sexual if you define that as a relationship. Also I will agree that usually a 40 year old man has more in common with a 40 year old woman (vs. a younger woman) so in that respect they are better suited as life partners.
And on the fetish part I was referring to physical appearance only. Specifically the guys who generally prefer the physical appearance of an significantly older woman vs. a younger woman. Yes, I would call this a fetish.
QuickStudy - I read another one of your posts regarding women in a different thread... your feelings on them are very obvious. And i hadnt even read that one before i figured it out.
If you have ready my comments in other threads then you would know that I do not generalize by saying ALL women. I always acknowledge that there are exceptions. Furthermore, hopefully you will have read my posts about the unfairness and bias in the Courts as being at the heart of the problem in terms of male-female relationships and the risk (to the guy) in such relationships. In other words, the behavior of the few nutty women is not really what constitutes the risk, but rather, how the courts deal with these cases should a guy find himself involved with such a women for whatever reason. Sometimes it is the guys fault for choosing a nut case, but other times it isn't. Just like some women knowingly marry a "bad boy" who later abuses them (surprise, surprise), and some women marry a guy who seems nice, but who turns out to be quite abusive.

No, I was responding to another poster's comment about older guys being all baggy and saggy, and I was just pointing out that I was not referring to 70 or 80 year old men when I had said that there are plenty of successful guys who are in good shape; that I was referring to guys in their 40's, 50's, and 60's.

I am not flaming. I am expressing my honest opinion based upon not just my own personal experience, but on the experience of my friends, my relatives, my business associates, news stories, research, etc.
I really do not expect my opinions to make sense to women or to those who have not seen or heard what I have. That does not mean I am intentionally flaming by any means.
What it means is that there is more than enough men out there for aging women. I don't buy into the aging woman relationship holocaust fantasy.
^^ THIS. I think that's some kind of fear device or something. We can have relationships for sure; men definitely do want us. A percentage don't. Which means we won't be able to get shallow men who deeply dislike women as people and are bitter from past experiences not being able to "get" the younger women. But I don't want a shallow man who deeply dislikes women and is bitter. So is there really a problem here?
There's a lid for every pot, and there's definitely a materialistic divorce-material lid for the shallow "I want a hottie and that's it" pot. In the end we all go home happy, at least for a while.
But that idea that women in our 40's aren't attractive to men in general? That is such cr*p! It just isn't true and that's that. It doesn't matter how many age insults anyone hurls, it still isn't true. (shrug) I'm sorry if that bugs anyone.

You can always tell, can't you? It's always so obvious in the way certain people write/talk. They don't think it is, but it's about as transparent as Saran Wrap.
