I told her that men are like parking spaces, the only ones left are "HANDICAP". LOL.
Bull****, there are plenty of parking spaces in the back.

You want women to walk?





Are you serious?

I don't make a big deal about walking, I carry 25lbs of groceries 1 mile every week.

I disagree. It's the exact opposite. Women, assuming they are attractive and personable, find their easiest years in the 18-25 rage with men of all stripes lining up to pick them up. They can take their pick of a very large litter, as many women have stated here on previous occasions. Then the line goes up from there, ease is 0 and impossible is 100. Conversely, men's difficulty starts way at the top and then goes down from there. They intersect probably around mid-30's and then it's easier for men in 40-60, if they still care about such things, while a woman after 40 has a greater chance of getting struck by lightning than she does finding a suitable mate.

Easier doesn't mean always easy though...

If the man doesn't want to date women close to his own age, women who haven't been married or a woman without kids, I wouldn't say it would be easy, as the amount of women who'd fit his expectations would be very small. So I'm not sure how that would make it easy to date.

If he is willing to date women closer to his age and who might have kids..he'll have an easier time, but I'd dispute it would be easier than say the college age years.

From what I hear/read throughout our culture/society,
it seems pretty clear that both genders have harder time of it, the older they/we get.
There are fewer men alive as one gets older, and men tend to want to date younger women,
so it seems even more acute a problem for women of a certain age or beyond.

So, I'd pick the oldest age range offered by the poll, but I wish/hope I'm wrong.
Maybe I'll defy the odds & have a great dating life a few years down the road
...fingers crossed.

It depends on the person. Some people struggle all their life with dating and some never have a problem at any age, with lots of in between.

All things being equal, I'd imagine the over 50 set would have the roughest time.

By copy, I meant: I tried to give women the same options to vote for.
