Good catch. He calls the assertions defamatory allegations by the tabloid media. It's their idiotic audience that propels it. And she says "'These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family.'

Good job, bajan. You point out that it's not about women aging, or relationships between men and women, but gossiping hens. That's about right for this forum.

This is ridiculous. You can look at the picture and see there's nothing like that going on. How sad that they have to put up with such stupidity.

I'm 28 and feel like my life is just started to get interesting.... I can't imagine being past my prime already! Especially considering that when I was in my 'prime', at least according to some of the men on this board, I was a naive silly girl that had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

Perhaps that's why older men like the younger women? The women are naive and don't know any better. Dealing with a woman who has her stuff together must be very difficult to manage and I'm sure many would prefer not to.

Only air-headed men like younger women. Mature men aren't interested in the kiddie corral, they want someone they can have an intelligent conversation with.

Are you kidding?!?! I'm wayyyy past 25 y.o. and I still think I'm in my prime! Age is but a number. I've meet some 25 y.o. (both male and female) that are old thinking and I've meet 70 and 80 y.o. in both sexes that are youthful in thought and therefore in their prime.

Don't live by anyone expectations or society's. Beat to your own drum.

so what do you, smart nerdy men at city-data think of 25 year old girls? Are they past their prime?How at this point in their life should they be navigating the dating pool to capitalize most of whats left of their beauty and youth?
Speak for yourself. I never had a "quarter life crisis", hell, I'll be 36 this year and I don't have a reason for a mid-life crisis yet, lol!

Women are NOT NLF players and to try and compare the two makes you look silly.

So, of course I busted my but making damn sure I looked damn good in that bikini!

I have a feeling that most of the men on here that think a woman is past her prime at 25 are probably in their late teens/early 20's. They think that all the women they are attracted to are their own age. All the women they are attracted to might LOOK like they are the same age as them - but I'm pretty sure a bunch of them are probably older than they look. And also - for the most part, I would assume that young men would be attracted to young women and vice versa. It's always an ego boost when I get hit on or get looks from men that I am way too old for - but honestly, if I was single - I would have absolutely no interest in attracting men in their early 20's. To me - they are just kids!

So, once again - the real answer to this question is -
No.
+1!

Being a 30-year old woman is like being a 5'7 man. Now we're getting on the short side. A woman with a lot of options will likely choose a taller man absent other compensatory attributes.

Being a 35-year old woman is like being a 5'4 man. He's tiny! Who wants a guy who makes you feel tall? Unless, that is, you're only 5 feet or 4'11 yourself.
Again, you are being silly. Women are NOT men, not short men, not tall men, and not NFL playing men.

When are men supposed to get this not so soft or smooth scaley skin? Hubby is 35, and I am 35 and we both have nice smooth, soft skin; with no scales.

Ime, it happens gradually over time and it depends on how well you take care of yourself. This is what I saw of men when I dated in my early 20s. If you two are fast food eating, smoking, out of shape drinkers then it will come sooner. If you are active, fit, and take care of yourselves it will probably come later. Given that intelligence correlates with health and appearance back reading your posts might lend a clue.

It feels pretty damn good to get on the treadmill for an hour or two. It feels good to be healthy. It feels good to take care of ourselves. I want my body, mind, career, talents to be the best they can be. There's no need to shed negativity on it.
Did you know that women are more likely to be obese than men? And considering that there are more women in the U.S. than men, this means there are more obese women than men in the U.S.

Prevalence and Trends in Obesity Among US Adults, 1999-2008, January 20, 2010, Flegal et al. 303 (3): 235

The numbers don't even tell the whole story. There is an obvious difference between a 5'8, 220 pound runningback (33.4 BMI) and a 5'4, 175 pound round mound (30 BMI). There are virtually no exceptions where a woman will exceed the obesity threshold and be considered attractive by the majority of men. She either ends up looking like Serena Williams or Roseanne Barr.

Not sure if I have heard a man say or feel he’s freaking hot just because he thinks a woman is past her prime after 25. Women may think X celebrity male is hot, so what? Doesn’t mean woman think they are so hot. Hey, don’t blame it on men, blame it on the media, beauty pageants, fashion, bikini models, etc. There’s a reason why you see young women there. Women gain weight, wrinkle, start sagging, etc. Men too, but men, generally speaking, don’t give a flying crap about it or spend all kinds of money on so called anti-aging scams. Seems like a woman thing to lose sleep and appetite over aging, gaining weight, and so on.

Actually, men do age better than women. More testosterone means we have thicker skin, which in turn means we are far less likely to develop crows feet or cellulite.

But it doesn't matter anyway because we aren't judge principally upon our looks. A salt and peppered-hair, 39-year old surgeon will have more appeal to women than a 24-year old, third-year med student still eating Ramen noodles.

Question: If an old dude is pulling 22-year old hotties, then how does that make him "delusional?" Sounds like he's WINNING to me.
