Why on earth would anyone seeking a loving, committed relationship date a woman who works 60-80 hours a week? You are a slave to your job, you made your choice. Work comes first for you, and love comes second. They aren't delusional, you are.
a lot of people in NYC are married to their job. They make a ton of money but at what expense? Its all about priorities. What do u value more in life? Money or time with family
Lowering standards and settling is the root of most cheating IMO.
It's the reason we have so many crappy relationships/marriages right now because people aren't truly happy with the person they're going home with. They're just with them to have someone.

Well exactly, that is why jerseygal makes a good living but can't find a man. She made working a priority, without considering the fact that no man will want to slot himself into her free time like an accessory. There are consequences to everything we do and every choice we make, feminism be damned. No man wants a girlfriend who works up to 80 hours a week. Moat women don't want it either, unless they are going for the paycheck and nothing more.

and some women that do want the paycheck end up in miserable marriages where they are essentially alone while there husband works crazy hours. They may have the mansion and nice car but doesnt mean they are happy
Honestly, once you've broached the over-40 set, having sex with anyone under 35 just seems like a waste of time. Sorry young folks, but it's the truth.
My most recent experience with a 20-something left me thinking, 'When I was his age, I would have thought this was good sex.' My guy friends my age tell me the same thing.
Chances are, this guy goes for 20 year olds because he can't attract the quality people his age. It's not lowering your standards to date people your own age...
Kind of like that 20 year old pothead who has to still date high school girls who think it's cool to date a loser because he graduated.
Haha, these people (male and female) need an ego check. They go after what they perceive to be the pick of the litter because they believe they're that good. Real life, however, says otherwise.
Reality checks aren't "lowering your standards". Seeing the forest beyond the trees isn't settling.
I saw a lot of men like this online and then they wonder why they are single. A good looking older man will probably not attract a young woman unless he is wealthy along with being handsome. Sure he could, but more than likely he will get a woman with a daddy complex. I had a friend who dated men old enough to be her dad because she was molested by him so to her it made sense.
There is a difference between lowering standards and being delusional and lowering standards. In the case of this man it would make sense to try a woman closer to his age because he is that age. However, let's say he was in fantastic shape and telling him to date an obese women because that is all he can attract is different than telling him to date an obese woman because he is obese too. In other words, lowering standards to what someone actually is versus a higher level is different than telling someone to go to a far lower level than what they are like an obese dating someone in shape or single childless dating parents.
