and older men are more desirable because of money, resources?
Well of course they are. Somewhere around the late 20s/early 30s the pendulum naturally swings in favor of the single male population since men at this age are developing their careers, making more money, have more life experience, conviction, confidence, etc. Sound familiar? These are the things that women are attracted to! It's really quite simple: men judge women heavily by their looks. When do women look their best? Men (and women) tend to agree that it's the 20s. Women want men for things like financial security and experience/conviction. Do men in their 20s have these things going? Ummm, not exactly. But with age comes wisdom. Hence, things change after 30-ish: the women are past their physical prime and the men are making more money, who do you think gets the better deal from here? This is why I've often wondered why most men settle down and marry in their 20s rather than waiting until their peak years of desireability when they will have the most dating options, which is usually the 30s. Many women nowdays are playing the field all through their peaking 20s, then settle down with a man just before 30. Why shouldn't men do the same and maximize their single life and settle down at the peak of their desireability?

I've heard this before from a lot of older men. They called it the power shift and said that men peak later on. It sounds great for 30+ men who did eventually make a lot of money, but if you don't make money in your 30's you may as well give up and lose out completely. So money is basically everything.

Yeah, I read something very similar in a fashion magazine not too long ago. But as the editor mentioned, there are exceptions like blue-collar men or laborers. Not everyone makes a lot of money. You'd be surprised, it is more expensive to live in the largest cities but there are quite a few men in my area that had no college degree, barely any salary, and just work at a couple of companies their whole lives.

but some women disagree that it gets harder for them as they get older, they don't think or believe in the power shift, are these women delusional?
I have been somewhat consumed by the questions posed in this thread over the past several months. I am 27 years old and a virgin. Lately, my lack of experience has been making me feel like a complete and utter loser. I am also pretty undeveloped professionally and work as a security guard earning $11 an hour. Ugh. I hate myself and I hate life.

do you think for every male virgin there is, there is a female virgin out there?

Hard to say.
But judging from myself: I'm a non-obese average looking man. My female equivalent -- a non-obese average looking woman -- would have had, by this point in her life, hundreds or thousands of men who wanted to sleep with her, whatever personality issues she's had.
