I wouldn't know, I have never had any problem finding a man. I met my SO when I was 40.
I have always been the cute girl, never the really hot girl. Some men just seem attracted to me no matter what age I am so I can't relate to this notion that older woman have a difficult time finding love.
If you wouldn't know, why are you commenting? I don't get that, makes no sense.
The conversation isn't about older women "finding love," it's about a group older woman unable to find a man for marriage.
The odds are not in your favor at 40. That is a fact. That's just the way it is. If a woman is in her early 30s and wants to be married eventually, she should not dilly dally. Things are absolutely, positively going to be harder at 40. And even harder at 50. Claiming otherwise is fiction, there's no two ways around it.

I can give one theory. A lot of these 30 year old women received all the attention in their teens and 20s. In the process a lot of guys were dissed by these women in their teens and 20s.
So.....these guys feeling rejected, focused on making their money flow. NOW at 30, these guys want to have the fun that they were not given when they were in their teens and 20s.
A woman's value in the eyes of men is highest when they are 18-25. A man's value increases as he gets older because of his accumluated assets.
I like these posts. I agree, it is very rare to it have it all (if you're talking about a financially successful and accomplished professional life). This goes for both males and females.
We only have 24 hours in a day to do so much. And about 1/3 is dedicated to sleeping.
I don't know many self-made, financially speaking, males that were able to manage to maintain healthy marriages and families while they get themselves to the top. If you read "How To Get Rich" by Felix Dennis, he touches on this. It requires a lot of sacrifices, pressure, and time commitments (and even traveling). Entrepreneurs, executives, surgeons, and investment bankers live and breath their careers.
Well, seems like we've beaten this thread to death.
Res Ipso Facto...the gals don't WANT to be dating for whatever reason. Who cares if it's because they are closet lesbian, only would date an astronaut who just won the superbowl or are mentally ill.
It. Doesn't. Matter.
That's their personal choice and that leaves a couple million other gals out there to date.
P.S. Complaining about the overly picky people out there is both pointless and unattactive. You need to just move on and find the person that fits you and not worry about some gal or guy that passed you by.
- Put too much emphasis on career
- Too choosy (our media shows them the Clooneys, Pitts, John Stewarts, etal., and they aspire for that ideal only)
- American men losing quality (very immature, can't hold jobs, too horny/uncommitted, too self-centered)
- Low self esteem (our media and culture can make even fine, gorgeuos people insecure, like we always fall short)
- Weird dating scene (do we date? do we throw partys anymore? so much distrust)
- Single life with house and cat not bad (sure beats being stuck in bad relationship)
- Got kids? (too soon?, many guys don't want all that responsibility at the get-go, not to mention the expense)
- Too many options (can't decide what/who to go for, maybe the next guy will be better).
And surely many more, I'm a guy and most of these can be flipped around to apply to me too.
No doubt eh! Latley, more and more, this world is feeling like that movie idiocracy.....
