But you are right, my physical appearance is not the same as it was in 2000/2001 and nothing to do but live with it
Physical appearance is not as important for men, which is what the aging women in his thread are deliberately ignoring.

Don't fool yourself about that. Looks are very important unless you have horrible self esteem and you're willing to accept dregs.

Only the women on this thread are aging? Have the men somehow found a way to stop time? Huh.

Back to the OP (although telling women how ugly they will be and how much fun sex is without them is probably very enjoyable) - the decline in marriage rates isn't rocket science. People are marrying later in life and are doing so because they want to get married - not because everyone feels like they have to get married like they did in past generations.

This is what unattractive men love to tell themselves.

Well, first of all, none of us look the same as we did in 2000/2001. And all any of can do is to take care ourselves and then chill out about it. The clock ain't gonna stop. *shrug*

Second, I think her telling you that was rather forward, BUT perhaps she said that to you because your an attractive guy. Nice looking guys are just as nice looking bald.

My looks far outstrip my game. Life would have been a lot happier for me if looks actually did matter as much for men. Unfortunately, back in reality, an ugly thug will beat out a handsome wallflower every time. On the other hand, I can certainly recognize that I'd still be a virgin if I weren't tall and somewhat good looking.

w how you can say one sex is more valuable if both are needed to create life.
Dewdrop - Sorry for the clipped quote. I'm posting from my phone. The answer to your question is supply and demand. But my point was rhetorical and a response to the argument about a womans value being solely for reproduction or sex. Speaking for myself, I dont assign value to people based on their ability to reproduce, or their sex appeal. People are more than their reproductive organs.

I dated in my early 40s. Physical appearance was VERY important to me.

I don't believe you, your views on women make you sound incapable of such a task. It does matter what type of experience a person has when analyzing data. However, it sounds like many do not take that into consideration, and use it as another excuse, while giving up. I really am concerned that so many have such negative views on the opposite sex. I've never imagined things like, masturbating is better than sex...or easier, that's ridiculous, having a woman do that for you is much easier.....In a sense, this preference for being alone, masturbating to free porn is much easier, and more streamlined. Less drama, less hassle, cheaper, yes it's all of that, but of course anything that is worthwhile is hard to hold onto...unlike that limpness in your hand, as you become increasingly numb to that free porn. Typical, people taking the easy route, going for the consolation prize....

Life is what you make of it, not to sound like a post card, but it's the truth. When I read post like the OP's I get that they are probably in darker place when they compose it.
