You can't predict how well anyone is going to retain their looks. Some women in their late 20's already look like they're approaching 40, while some 40-somethings still look like college students. It's totally unpredictable.
Who are these women that "demand" gifts? I've never demanded anything (although I certainly like presents) and I don't have any female friends that do either.

And about how to predict if someone will retain their looks, one major factor is lifestyle. If they go to the bars all the time and eat bad food and don't exercise and tan, chances are they won't look that great later on. If they love working out and eat good food, chances are they care enough about themselves to avoid letting their looks go.

Exactly. If they avoid the sun, don't smoke and rarely drink, go to the gym regularly and eat healthfully, they'll do well.

I think those scads of 20-somethings that demand gifts and extravagant dates exist mainly in the C-D mythosphere.

If older men are such in demand why have I seen the same ones on dating sites for years? going by the logic that older men are wanted surely they would have found someone by now?
Right. Because every man out there who dates a woman younger than he is a domineering control freak.

This country has a serious problem with busybodies nosing into other people's business. It affects everything from relationships to politics.

No it wasn't an accident. She was after that guy for almost a year before he tired enough for her to bring him down.

Unfortunately, this is true.

No, I got your point the first time I saw you have this discussion, which was about 40 times ago. I just happen to believe, as do others, that your point is very, very wrong, and hilariously hypocritical given your personal life.

Those things certainly don't hurt, but good genetics help significantly more.
