If someone asked me what I bring to the table I would assume they mean dinner or something. Honestly what does anyone of us bring to the table? I would hope we would marry people who enjoy our company, enjoyed mutual interests, there for us in our time of need, there to help support financially, emotionally, mentally and any way else.

I have no idea of what this means either. Are you hitting on R4T? I mean if you are, cool. But there's a language barrier here.

Have you ever read Dilbert?

Maybe you've never worked in an office?

I would think its the opposite from the graph that the OP posted. The peak can stay at the same level for females, but the bell curve stays level until the 50's age, while the men's looks drops after 30. I feel this way because my looks have left me now that I'm in my 30's, and I find women are equally attractive from 18-early 50's.

Men are the ones who start balding, some as early as 18, not women. No amt. of taking care of yourself can stop that.

Actually I know more in shape women than men. Maybe this isn't the case when talking about women who had babies but babies do change one's body and many of these same women also find themselves stressed because they end up doing most or all of the work while the dad doesn't do much.

Ok, I think I'm starting to notice a trend...

It's all the guys in their 20s and 30s that buy (by the bucketful no less) the example in the graph.

I don't think I have seen too many actual 40 year olds singing the praises about being a middle aged man and the vast cornucopia of women, young and old, who are falling at their feet.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating....

This appears to be the kool-aid the less popular 20 year olds are telling themselves to make them feel better.

While at the same time trying to shame women for not dating guys like them.

"You'll get old, and then you'll be sorry!!!!"

Guess what? No, not really.

Good point, I don't think the average middle aged man is really considered as attractive as that 25 year old stud. Don't you notice the stereotypical eligible middle aged man is some successful businessman who looks like George Clooney or Richard Gere, or maybe even Michael Douglas?

As for middle aged women not being attractive. I think that's changing. In the old days, you were an old maid by 40. Now there are 40 year olds who put many 20 year old's to shame. If I had to pick over a fit, beautiful 40 year old vs a fat, ugly 20 year old, who do you think I'm going to pick?
