Sadly, I'm going to have to agree with you. I've been lucky/unlucky enough to be involved in male only professions where I was oftentimes the only female presence in entire departments/buildings. The things I heard and experiences would make most women swear off men forever... and in fact I'm getting very close to doing just that. These were married men, men in relationships, single men etc. and most of them considered women to be nothing more than a nuisance they had to keep around because they wanted semi regular sex.

The amount of window shopping, commenting (often rather lewdly) on women's bodies and treating certain women like trash because they simply weren't pretty enough was a bit of a shock for me in the beginning. I have no doubt there are decent men out there, of that I'm sure, but they do seem to be few and far between.

This happens often enough to make a lot of women nervous. But there are plenty of men who aren't like this. Find one of them.

Keep in mind that a lot of men who behave this way do so as a form of display. They are basically bonding with other men by strutting around and talking like man-whores. I am not saying this sort of behavior is right. I am just saying it may not be indicative of their real feelings.

It's threads like this that really expose the lack of life understanding and experience... not raging on the OP or trying to be mean, but I wish the OP could read this thread when she was 40 plus.........

I think younger men will sleep with you because they'll want the glory of dating an older woman.

When I turned 30, my teeth got razor sharp. When I turned 31, I grew some scales. When I turned 32, I grew claws. When I was 33, I got a hunchback. At 34 I've shrunk 6 inches......

Seriously, honey, I have enjoyed my 30s way more than my 20s and it keeps getting better. I love getting older. I also look better than I did in my mid and late 20s.

I wonder if I'll be interested in an older guy when I get around to dating again...I'm 41. Worrying about your age is waste of time. Go get some skills and buy yourself some plastic surgery if you are insecure...never rely on someone other than yourself to feel beautiful.

Me too! I look better and feel better than I did 10 or 15 years ago. I'm more confident, too, which is something men like.

I have myself a funny, compassionate, smart, and beautiful 33 year old and I wouldn't trade her in for a younger model.

In my 20's, I loved "dating" women in their 30's.

They were the best in bed and loved to do it, and didn't care I was only 24 when they were 38. They simply loved to have fun.
