Unless he's a loser.

I agree with this, especially if he's a fairly goos ahape.

I do too!

I would say of all the couples I know, about 90% of the men have a belly. The women of those couples are definitely in better shape.

Maybe it's demographics

Man I noticed that, too. Women were lining up at my dad's door before my mom passed away to date him. Some were even fighting over him. He is not in great shape, but he has a decent job, knows a bunch of people in town, and women never stopped calling him.

My dad was laughing and told me that if you have a decent job when you get into your 40s there will be a bunch of women who will try to swoop you up. You can look forward to that, at least.

WAIT A MINUTE.............FAST FOWARD


Nerdy guy is now 37 and he's no longer nedy looking, he's transformed his body to a lean muscle machine and he's spent the last 15 years working on his career and building his business. He now earns a high 6 figure income and is well traveled.


Oh, wait a minute............NOW YOU WANT HIM.


Yes, the above story is real and it happens.


I say, to heck with her. She's no longer the cute 20 something girl, she's now 35 and used up and has had a series a bad relationships and a divorce.

Yup, this happens to guys all of the time.
Frankly, I've never heard a genuinely once-nerdy, now-successful man say anything like this. I've only heard it from once-nerdy, still-nerdy guys with an overblown sense of entitlement and an inability to forget past insults and move on with their lives.

Oh, poor you! Women won't "give" you sex!

I have sympathy for people who struggle in the dating world. I have no sympathy for men who are upset because women won't "give" them sex. I've spelled this out to you so many times but you can continue to ignore it and call me a mean person if it makes you feel better. Everyone who knows me in real life thinks I'm a wonderful person. Most people in my life are also wonderful people. If you don't think I'm nice - maybe the problem isn't me.

Many men forget to take care of themselves.

A 50's YO man, not obese, intelligent who is semi successful can have almost any 47+ YO woman he wants. I was divorced last year after a long marriage and have pleasantly enjoyed the huge demand by the ladies for a decent man.

The roles have reversed from being a 20 something male. Believe it or not, most 45+ YO women not only love sex but it can be a challenge taking care of their needs.

It's a nice problem to enjoy and I aim to please.

I don't know if my tone is good or bad, but it is what's happening and I think it's a natural thing. Likes with likes and all. It would be smart of those who aren't doing as well in life, but that's not how it's going at this point. There's an article speaking to this topic. I'll try to find it.

Then there are those who have lost interest, not in taking care of themselves, but in the mating process. They are not losers. They are just tired of the stupid game and have come to realize that they don't have to buy into the conditioning that that defines someone. And the fact that some of the women one knows who were once attractive are no longer so doesn't help matters. And some of us don't feel like explaining our era of music and fads to someone who is much younger and 'hot.' So, yes, "the odds are good, but the goods are odd."

I guess it's ok to marry the bimbo if she's a nice person. If she's of the "decoration on a man's arm" variety, then he probably shouldn't.

Here's another thing. Women in medical school don't date "down," even into other professions. The pre-health professions group is one that starts segregating itself from others during the university experience.
Women don't date down in any profession, including service professionals. All women hate to date down, unless they have some sort of self esteem issue. That is why there are so many never-married women in their 40s today - if you wait until your career is well established to find a man, there aren't many still available who you want to date. There are personal risks dedicating your 20s to early 30s to your career, when you are a woman. Most women achieve at their personal life, or at their career life.

LADIES -

DON'T LIE - How about an honest answer?

You know a guy at 17 and he is unimpressive, and maybe socially stunded. Twenty years later, he looks good, he is educated, he has a good job, and he is conversant (B- to B) but not "way cool," would you (a) seriously consider him, and (b) would you be hemmed in by the prejudices of you and your peer group?

LET'S HEAR IT. NO SUGARCOATING.
