This post is so ridiculous that it's difficult not to assume you are trolling. If not, it's no wonder the only women you know over 20 are suicidal. Who else but an emotionally disturbed woman would want to spend time with you? Your best bet are teens and that would probably only yield a few weeks/months before they wised up.

Single women. Not all women.

The funny thing is that I meet all sorts of people from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, races, ages...you name it.

I don't expect a young (18-20) woman to have her life together, but at least she usually still approaches life with some enthusiasm!


Okay....and what about the older men??? You say you find that older women are single for a good reason. Then why are older men (such as yourself) single?? I bet they are single for a "good reason" too, yes?

I would say some of these old single dudes are raging nutjobs too, eh?? Fair to say, don't you think, seeing as you infer that any single women over 26 must have some 'problem'?

Perhaps the vibe you give off only attracts these wretched women with no enthusiam towards life.

For some reason I just pictured you hanging outside of upcoming high school graduations with a sign around your neck saying " Old Dudes Dig Young Chicks" and yelling like you were selling candy "Old dude here, get yer old dude here!".

Actually..wait....I hear the jingling of the ice cream truck coming down my street. Oh snap, Cuinlalaland! NO YOU DIDN'T!!????

Excellent point. I'm sure his reasoning will involve a magical tootsie roll bestowed by Jack's fairly god-mother.

No doubt. Like today when I was talking to that 18 year old friend of mine and I totally chickened out about asking her out

That saying is pretty old school.

"Old man's darling" = trophy wife that gets doted on and pedestalized and doesn't have to deal with raising kids because his are already grown.

"Young man's slave" = old fashioned (think pre-industrialization) house wife doing all the house cleaning and child rearing. House work back then was tough when dish washers, washing machines, etc were prohibitively expensive or simply didn't exist yet.

The only reason 18-25 year olds develop those unpleasant traits is because women continually get scr*wed over by men so after so much pain and heartache you become jaded and find it hard to trust men.

Note: if men do not want women to become nutcases, stop treating them like so much garbage.

Hi CESpeed,

A curious philosophy where all female behavior is inevitability dependent on the behavior of men.

While that is very understandable and I feel for women that have had horrible experiences with men, closing oneself off and becoming a manhater is surely not going to any good either.
