women, do men still want you in your 30s?

[DustyMan]

to the women in their 30s do you still have as many men chasing after you as you did in your 20s? do you still look just as young?? be honest

 

If you look good, yes of course! A woman in her 30's MAY not have as many men chasing her but its about quality not quantity!

[Pyro]

What is with the older woman bashing?

 

My guess is that they are pissed because the older ones do not fall for their BS lies, whereas the young naive ones will.

 

He probably likes older women but can't get one so he's just jealous he won't get the experience.

 

or this

[Negative Nancy]

I am currently being chased by a younger (than me by over a decade), rather well known painter whose works I had always admired. You don't think he could have his pick of "art groupies?"

 

Don't kid yourself, most self-proclaimed "artists" are usually struggling and constantly broke, so the only reason he's interested in you is probably because he wants to mooch off of you.

You do live up to your name.

Women under 40 are a little too young for me.

 

Though I'd probably make an exception for Nancy.

You must like a good challenge.

I know that feeling. Challenges excite me

Me: "So I'll pick you up around 7:00, will that work?"

 

Nancy: "I don't give a f*ck. Whatever."

 

Me: "How about a drink before dinner?"

 

Nancy: "How about I shove a finger into your eye socket for checking out the other women there? You going to leave with one of them, aren't you? Every guy I've ever gone out with has done the same."

 

Me: "Well, now that you mention it..."

 

Nancy: "Except for the old ones. You wouldn't leave with one of them. I take comfort in that."

You couldn't be more wrong. I didn't take his word for it. Google is wonderful thing.

I wonder what will happen when you go for the goodnight kiss.

We all know that once women hit that magical age of 30, they shrivel up like dried up raisins. Their hands become narled, their hair turns white, their knees start knocking together and their teeth need to be replaced by dentures. Not to mention the liver spots that appear over night and how butterscotch candies magically appear in their knock off Louis vuitton purses overnight to hand out to all the youngins..you know..by "youngins" I naturally mean other 30+ year old men since 30+ year old men are apparently still young enough to ride skateboards, watch Thundercats and date girls that think Miley Ray Cyrus is a has-been.

That's just crazy-talk.

 

Some women are attractive all the way up to 35.

My grandmother always had hard, striped peppermint candies that slipped out of the cellophane wrappers in her purse and were covered in lint. Maybe that's why I never eat hard candy today.

Sorry Prince, I forgot. As a woman I should always be more miserable than the miserabelest of men. Must remember not to derive any satisfaction from any part of my life, be those part friendships, work, or love.

Don't forget how once you hit 30 you're suppose to tie a pastic curchef around your head to protect your perfectly curled hair from the elements and get those nude stockings that go up to your shins while you tell all the youngins to pull their pants up.

[MissJoness]

I think it's older guys trying to make women their age who wouldn't date them when they where younger feel insecure. I think the other group, is younger guys trying to make younger women feel insecure about their future. It's a strait up scare tactic, "you better date me, because a time will come when no guy will date you".

Yeah, that is certainly the vibe I am getting. I am going to be 27 and they are making me afraid to be 30 and over.

[yoman38]

yes men still find women in their 30s attractive and 40s and 50s.

[Dreamless Sleep]

ditto

 

I like all women. Spending time with women in their 20's I see how much different my life experiences are. Not better, just different. I enjoy being around them. I don't want to be in a relationship with them though. Generally I wouldn't pursue someone too much younger. I like to have a similar timeline.

 

I just hired a guy my age, late 40's, going through a divorce as well with kids the same age as me (teens).He followed his new love (13 years younger) to this town with plans to marry. When asked if his fiancee wants kids, he replied 'yes' while cringing. Should be fun to watch.

[xxoo]

since 30+ year old men are apparently still young enough to ride skateboards,

 

Is it wrong for a 30+ woman to ride a skateboard? 'Cause I do

[Disenchantedly Yours]

I think you get the gist of my post which wasn't really a commentary on skateboarding XXOO.

[TheBigQuestion]

Women can be quite attractive at most ages, IMO.

 

However, I do have a cutoff. If the woman was alive during the Eisenhower administration, chances are I just wouldn't go for her. I think that's more than charitable coming from a 25-year-old.

 

As far as serious dating goes, I'm pretty sure I'd never want to date anyone more than 5 years older or 5 years younger than me, regardless of what my age will be at any given time.

[Disenchantedly Yours]

I'm pretty obsessed with a woman in her 30's right now. Listening to her sleep over the phone as we speak.

 

I'm sure she tired herself out after watching and exciting episode of Wheel of Fortune!

A woman turning 30 is the same as when the clock struck midnight for Cinderella.

People pretend to draw satisfaction from work to cover up how they are using it to cope.

[Chicago_Guy]

I have a sneaking suspicion that someone who works in Chicago THINKS the women he sees on the street are in their 20s when in reality, like in most major US cities, they are in their 30s and 40s because they are fashionable, well groomed and take advantage of the latest cosmetic advances to continue looking good far longer than their parents did. I've been to Chicago.

Unless that person lives in the projects, where everyone looks bad.

 

What the poster fails to realize is that if his premise is true that men are only interested in 20-somethings, it VASTLY shrinks his dating pool or dries it up altogether because of the competition. Sad.

 

I was thrilled when I turned 30 because it meant people would take me seriously, as most adults are dismissive of 20-somethings.

 

I didn't start dating "quality" men until I turned 40. I am currently being chased by a younger (than me by over a decade), rather well known painter whose works I had always admired. You don't think he could have his pick of "art groupies?"

 

I have no doubt that a woman can continue to get dates into her late 30s or older. However, far fewer men are willing to enter into an exclusive relationship with or marry a woman who is that age if they think they can get a younger woman. Obviously there are individual exceptions to the rule. However, I doubt that any man on this site would disagree that an average-looking 28 year-old-woman is much more attractive than an average-looking 38 year-old-woman.

 

Also, if you really only started dating "quality" men after you turned 40, then I would bet that your own idea of what a "quality" man is has changed dramatically from what it was when you were in your 20s.
