They attribute this to the fact that todays women are more financially secure. | |

Wake up guys, women are sick to death of your double standard
Isn't it amusing how many guys missed the whole point ? They reacted the same way most women have reacted to ALL the threads that men have posted over the last few months and get all self-righteous about it. It's just laughable. The OP shone a light on the hypocrisy and you all missed it by a mile. | |
|
| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 8:35:53 AM | | Why even discuss this? Women don't generally find men with huge guts attractive; vice-versa. Of course most women do find money and power attractive so most men figure they can get a young trophy wife instead of pursuing a woman of similar age, with more likely than not a lot of baggage. This may be upsetting to you 50yr old single women but life is often unfair. If you're 50 and expect a young stud of 30 with rock hard abs without paying for him you had better think again. | |

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 8:51:55 AM | | Not all of missed the point to the OP's question, squirrly. I myself understand that some older guys have let themselves go and so have some older women. I happen to be an admirer of the older women on this site because they have only gotten better with age, as far as I can see. My question, in response, to the OP was wether or not she'd date a younger man as a result of not finding a man her age. There are many younger men that would gladly date an older woman, is simply the point I am making, so why be bothered by guys your age wanting some young girl when you can just go out and get a younger man? Problem solved. | |

Without plastic surgery, constant work outs and fanatical adherence to some sort of restrictive diet your 50+ body will NEVER feel the same as a younger womans. Skin texture becomes less supple and soft, hair needs constant coloring and treatments to look youthful, facial lines cannot be hidden under a mound of cosmetics and lets not forget your own sexual organs ain't quite what they used to be! Nothing you can do will ever reverse the signs of aging---but yet you want to portray yourself as young, youthful and "deserving" of only the best. By the time your extensive makeover is complete your own mother wouldn't recognize you---yet you're "naturally beautiful!! Not many women "your age" look anything like the overly contrived photos they post here.
LMAO!!!! I hate to tell you this ~ that is the most nonsense I've read in one paragraph in a long time. You really should have prefaced that with: "One lady over 50 that I know...." because written as it is: it's a crock of sh!t!!! Unless you've been living in a third world country (and with your attitude, that wouldn't be all that surprising) you must be living under a rock. Women my age became knowledgable about damaging our skin very early on. With all of the wonderful products out today for skin protection and rejuvenation, we aren't plagued with the skin problems of our mothers. In case you haven't been to an Estee Lauder counter later, I'll explain how make-up works: Rule #1: The older you get, the less you wear; #2: If it takes you longer than 5 minutes to apply your make-up, you're wearing too much. The days of caked on make-up for our age category disappeared long ago. However, I do notice that the 20 somethings prefer that cake-on look, so it appears your in a delima no matter where you look, they cake it on and we're just nasty! Ut Oh!!! Now ~ about my sexual organs ~ not only are they still functional ~ but now they know tricks that women 15 years younger than me are afraid to even think about. Oh the glory of aging, sex is our friend~ As for our pictures posted here ~ if you are so damn offended by our horrid appearances, stop looking. You have had your say, we get it: we disgust you ~ Stop at the ticket counter and we'll refund your entrance fee. It's as easy to exit this thread as it was to enter it. Happy hunting or fishing, whatever the case may be!!
This may be upsetting to you 50yr old single women but life is often unfair. If you're 50 and expect a young stud of 30 with rock hard abs without paying for him you had better think again.
I'm not 50 yet, but I will be in 8 years, so I suppose this applies to me (LOL) As for the rock hard abs ~ you really should browse the profiles I get to see....there are rock hard abs all over this site (and all over in my inbox.) Not only men in their 30s there are men well into their 40s with amazing bodies on this site. The best part, the ones I have encountered have wonderful attitudes, a sense of self, and the ability to converse without needing to talk trash in order to feel good about their own self. (I have yet to see a dollar sign on any of them.)  | |

So I'm living under a rock in a third world country am I? Fair enough---the syndrome of having ones head up their posteriers seems to not have boundries.
As for your post and/or diatribe about my REACTION to the OP at present you're a bit too early I think. If you're 42 that is indeed in 8 years---sadly the clock moves faster as the years advance. This you'll have to trust me on----I've been 42, know women who were also once upon a time 42 and can tell you it's NOT the same as being 45, 50,55 or older. You're speaking from your own point of reference and not one of practical experience.
You drone on and on about skin care, make up, rock hard abs, young women who also wear too much make up but a question arises for me. What does any of this have to do with YOU? Not a single woman's appearance here disgusts me one bit---it's the ATTITUDE that I find unattractive. You seem very invested in this but since my REACTION was directed more at the OP I'm hard pressed to understand why you're so incensed at me?
I've not been to an Estee Lauder counter EVER so you're 100% correct in thinking I am clueless how the make up game is played. My attitude notwithstanding relax, understand this was NOT about YOU in anyway and just back away slowly please?! LOL
Re-visit this same thread when it's more age appropriate to you----or if someone posts something about you. Otherwise PLEASE don't blow a gasket for something simple like this!!
Peace out | |

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 10:22:34 AM | jwa, from a man's perspective, you're a jacka$$.
Yes, women age. That's like... DUH!!!
The question isn't of natural aging, but of health and beauty.
I woman who is in her 50's may not look like she did when she was 30, but she can still look good. And who cares if it's cosmetics or surgery that aids them in looking good. Younger women use those devices, as well.
The problem the OP was having was that she was seeing no effort on man's part to stay attractive like these women you accost for using cosmetics and surgery.
Why don't older men feel the need to stay attractive while women do? | |

Please read slowly: I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age....
That is precisely why I am here. The OP isn't the only one who feels as she does. I don't need to be 50 to know that I don't want to date someone 50. I'm not too early, because if you were reading posts prior to this post, I've been literally mentally bashed for not willingly dropping my preferences and dating men well into their 50s. This applies to me as well as the OP. This is not a thread designated to YOU and your opinions about the OP. This is about any woman, any age, who isn't interested in men her own age. This is the sister thread to about 40 threads talking trash about those of us who want to exercise our rights to choose who we date, who we are attracted to and what age range we are most comfortable with. My mother is 62. Without getting into her specifics, I will tell you this, I wrote my response to you, with her in mind. She has dated men younger than me, and finally met someone 5 years younger than herself and settled down. But, the reality was ~ she got scathed just like the OP because of her preferences. Simple jealousy. The green-headed moster that lives in insecure people. You are crazy if you think I don't get it because I'm not 50 yet. I do get it, and so do the other ladies here. We may be 8 years apart in age, but we share the same circumstance. I am speaking to you from practical experience ~ my personal experience. Just wander around forums for a while, see the nastiness, negativity and brutal assinine comments we have to endure, just to stand by our right to date whomever we choose. Your attitude and display here is every bit as nasty and ugly as those others ~ not very flattering. | |

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 11:01:07 AM | @jwa...I am sorry but you are spouting off somewhat because people age at different rates. So you can't say definatively what a person's skin etc is going to be like at certain ages because it depends on their genes and environment ie. smoker, sunworshipper, bad diet, lack of exercise. Check out realage.com and if you fill in their questionaire you will see what age you are considered according to certain factors.
There is your chronological age, your mental age, your biological age etc....and I know for a fact that I have met many people who look amazing for their ages and some that look much worse than they should at their ages. | |

and all these men with money and power are hanging out on free dating sites with nothing better to do than bash older women?
A lot of you are still missing my point
MEN AGE TOO UNLESS YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES WE DON'T FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE
I would happily date a man my own age IF I could find one who was fit, interested in the same things as I am and who shared my beliefs etc.....which are all the same things I look for in a man of ANY age.
If you're 50 and expect a young stud of 30 with rock hard abs without paying for him you had better think again.
Those hotties of 30 with the rock hard abs appreciate the work that went into my body and they chase ME, I do not chase them | |

Believe it or not some of us aren't on here looking to hook up. This sure beats talk radio let me tell ya.  | |
|
| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 12:15:14 PM | The quote was about men of wealth and power getting trophies
I doubt the wealth and power guys are here on a free dating site looking to hookup...but there sure are a lot of older guys here bashing older women and looking for trophies. Oddly, they rarely post pics and generally have no wealth or power....but somehow feel that just WANTING someone hot and young is enough to have the women flocking to their sides. | |

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 12:16:15 PM | I didn't know Dragons had brows at all.. . I figured they would be cinged off....lol

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 12:26:57 PM | Ahhhh SHUX - just so amazing isnt it how so many of us get offended so easily and become so defensive
The OP is a lovely lady and someone that takes extreme care of herself - way to GO
For those of us that DONT - well, we always have some excuses don't we?
Flaming and finger-pointing just ain't gonna get us nowhere.

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 12:42:44 PM | ~OP~ I had an epiphany of epic proportions!! First, I am apoligizing for running amock in your thread. Feeling strongly, or even passionately about something ~ can without a doubt, bring out the ugly, nasty, and overall unattractive side of some, including me. I am not quite sure what the answer is, but it's very clear to me, that no matter what our personal preferences are ~ there will always be those who are intimidated, angered and even enraged by choices/views unlike their own. This seems overly active when the subject of physical appearance and/or age is mentioned. I'm done ranting ~ and I'm sorry it happened here!! I still think the classic double standard is ridiculous ~ and it's now very apparent to me, it's never going to change. So, I'm going to enjoy myself with those I find appealing, I know you will do the same....and in the future ~ those who don't get it, well .... they can just not get it!! Again, so sorry for the impassioned jibberish. I'm ready for a chocolate martini ~~  | |

| I'm Not Attracted To Men My Age.... Posted: 5/8/2006 2:36:25 PM | ^^Squirrly Msg 89 It wasn't my intent to say or suggest anything about people aging. I fully realize it's different for each person; factoring in environmental and personal habits there are vast differences in appearance vs chronological age. If I've offended anyone here or not seemed sympathetic to the effects of time then I sincerely apologize. I do repeat my post was directed specifically at OP only because I didn't care for her view nor the way she presented it.
Since I don't create or participate in any thread about women and their personal appearance perhaps I'm unaware the OP or others here have been repeatedly criticized about this subject. Just like Ms Greens follow-up that certain subjects might bring out a passionate side to herself I claim the same right for myself and have put that forth here. Also like Ms Green I apologize to the OP for what's turned a bit contentious. I'll agree with her 100%---SOME topics bring out strong feelings in us!!
The point has been made women here are long suffering because men seem to post thread upon thread bashing women for the way they age. I have never done such a thing and cannot believe anyone would be that ignorant and short-sighted. I'm in full agreement if we're not attracted to someone for whatever reason we're free to not date them or even consider them for any other wonderful quality they might have. It's simply a matter or personal choice and that should be that. Any male here who complains about women certainly does need to review a mirror beforehand---an objective eye might make them rethink that action.
Women of all ages are capable of being devastingly beautiful, physically and inwardly as well. Men also have qualities that appeal to a broad range of female eyes--naturally some more than others in both genders. I'll repeat we're free to date whoever we want to--that's not debatable. Those who can't accept that need never to enter that world---it's not for the meek. What isn't acceptable is ANYONE being mean to those who don't meet their wants, needs or expectations---for whatever reasons. | |
