As I always feel the need to be fair, under certain circumstances men can sure get very cynical and have a bad attitude towards women, too.

Brahmabull, it might depend on what sort of people you spend time with, as life experiences are the driving force of this, it's the ones who have the most experience with users, rejection, etc. who form the real foundation for this stereotype.

Honestly though I like myself much better now in my 30's than I did in my 20's. Back then I felt like I had something to prove to people. I'm more laid back and straightforward now...more "real." If that makes sense. And for whatever it is or isn't worth, my husband still thinks I'm hot.

Maybe I'm biased because I find most people to be nice regardless, so I dunno
LOL read some of the things that the older women here post. Most are not exactly the warm, kind ladies i'd be eager to meet.

So, what was your previous handle? Or what is your other present handle? Because you pretty much say the same exact things that another poster on here says. I mean like almost verbatim.

C-D is actually a very accurate representation of what men think in the real world. In fact guys are more honest on here since they remain anonymous and there are no reprocussions.

The thread "I'd rather remain alone forever than date an unattractive woman" actually personifies how the vast majority of men think. And those who are currently married to a little porker are probably window shopping right now.

It's like the world is falling down because the woman is no longer a 25-year-old girl who can rely solely on her looks. She might actually have to develop a kind personality and lose her b*tch shield if she wants men to be interested in her. Welcome to the real world, where people don't just kiss your ass magically because you are young and hot.

A warm, kind, and reasonably attractive woman will have no shortage of men interested in her regardless of her age.

The whole premise of this OP is disturbing. I think the OP needs therapy, either soon ... or at some later time. There are major trust and insecurity issues at stake.

This is why its so important that women posses qualities besides being attractive. Attractive only gets you so far. Life goes on after 30. You need to figure out what else you have to offer.

Exactly! That's what these women do not realize. Once they turn 35 years old, they actually have to start being nice to people, and developing things such as a personality and a sense of humor. It's like a huge shock to their system. The women who have had these things all along probably do just fine with men as they get older.

Worrying/stress will make you age!! Stop that!!!

Tips:
Don't drink heavily, or better yet, at all.
Don't ruin your metab with dieting, etc. -->Eat a well-balanced diet, and engage in regular exercise.
Don't do drugs.
Don't worship the sun.
Don't smoke cigarettes.
Never stop learning and growing.
Get plenty of rest.
Help others. This will help you to stop focusing on yourself and negative things--- which often leads to depression.

Take the above advice, and you should stay "prime/Grade A" for many years to come.
Yes, even well into your 40's and 50's.
