You're still aiding my position that women meet men easier. Most men could count on one hand how many women approached them this year. For many its probably zero.

Why is this even an argument? I'm at a loss here

I don't know. You seem bent on proving some kind of point. You tell me.

Some women rationalize this into "I'm still just as attractive as ever and my age doesn't affect my ability to attract a mate." They could still be hopping from relationship to relationship, but they will be settling for far less than what they could have attained (for committment) in their twenties.
I find this to be completely false. The level of suitor is much better now (in 40s) than in my twenties. Guys in their 40s have better jobs, matured, learned from past relationships and better in bed than guys in 20s, and early 30s. I like dating in my 40s much better than in my 20s. Didn't date in my 30s, so don't know what that's like.

The rationalization here is awesome

Because women don't find broke burger flippers desirable when they have better/richer options.

Men probably don't count the women who struck up casual convos with them in stores or coffeeshops, or elsewhere. The chances are that if a woman initiated a convo, it's an approach. Men don't count that as an approach, unless she asks him out or asks for his number.

Yep. And men count catcalls or requests to hook up as approaches for women.

This thread is so ridiculous but I expect that from the men here. Sure there are less men in their 40's but there are also less women in their 40's. I pretty much still look the same as I did in my 20's and I have no wrinkles. Most of the men I see at my age look old and frumpy (and are usually fat too). Yes, contrary to what the men here often think (many of whom have never dated a women)we do judge on looks just like men do so no excuse to look disgusting.

You are such a man hater. There are many men in their 40s that don't look disgusting and work out. I really doubt you look the same as in your 20s, sorry.

I don't know if women do this but when I was doing online dating I was often contacted by separated or recently divorced men. I found this very creepy because you would think after a marriage breakup dating again would be the last thing on their mind. I've known many men who already had girlfriends when they got divorced because they couldn't be alone. I've never seen this with women and can't think of any women who had a boyfriend while going through a divorce or recently divorced.
