You are, basically. You're arguing with people that are saying that it is true. Nobody has said it's always the case. Not once. And yet, you're continuing to argue it. You're trying to find absolutes where they don't exist, solely for the chance to argue something you don't like.

I guess. It doesn't to me. I can't imagine "going after" or hitting on someone until I've already determined there is chemistry. I'm not going to randomly ask someone out that I haven't spoken to. That's pretty odd. What is the point.

I refer you to my previous post.
It doesn't happen as often that some men on here seem to think it does. I was on a dating site where most of the men were seeking much younger to the point some were mean. Years later they are still on there complaining they can't find anyone. If it happens as often as many here think these guys wouldn't still be on the website. I was on the website three years ago and they are still on it.

(1) The available 20-yr-old women are greater in number.
(2) Women who are not yet established in their careers are easier to impress.
Many women who are 25 aren't established in their careers, either.

So, what else ya got, theory-wise?

People are getting caught up in semantics. I wouldn't randomly ask someone out like that. But I WOULD randomly start talking to someone just because they're hot, and go from there.

I am saying it's not an absolute as some here think.

That's because you look at other things because you are mature. Apparently these guys only care about looks regardless of anything else.

Well, semantics are important. Incredibly important. They're the definitions of words. The things we use to communicate. If we don't get them right, communication is broken.

Eh, I think that is mostly online blowhard stuff. I've never met an adult dude that was willing to or wanted to date a woman that he didn't like as a person or connect with chemistry wise just because she had a nice face/body.

How about a 20-year old women is typically more mature than a 20-year old male.

So what you do you care? You're going to get all butthurt because some guys want women younger than you?

Some things simply have to be dealt with. Not every woman wants bald guys, so I go after the ones who do (as I'm bald myself). I'm not gonna sit around and cry about how I'm not every woman's type.
