Yes, and my baloney has a first name.
Heck, I'm enjoying that the thread backfired.
Perhaps you should start a smart-aleck thread about threads that go awry? | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 10:31:47 PM | I dunno....last time I tried to sell some guy over the age of 30 to my group of women friends, they said "HELL NO. WE ARE NOT PAYING GOOD GREEN FOR THAT OVER THE HILL STUFF! GIVE US YOUNG STUFF".....so then I had to go out and find them a couple of 20 year olds.
Damn picky socioeconomically aware women.  | |

It's called an "inferior substitute".

I'm sure you're not 90 years old.
I'm not sure you're a woman, though. | |

It seems that many people say that the best sex is in how you do it, and that plenty of people who can go all night, are rubbish. People say the same about most things. Do people say we start off knowing everything, and get less skilful as we get older, or do people say we start off knowing almost nothing, and get more skilful as we get older?
It occurs to me that your friends may ascribe to the philosophy that the British Army rejects men over 26, because they are not as physically able. However the Sir Edmund Hillary became the first man to climb Everest at the ripe old age of 44. It is more likely that the British Army prefers men up to 26, because they are more easy to manipulate. | |

I have come to find out that yes I am and have discoverd that my best characteristics are stability (both emotional and physical) and courtesy. Add a little romance and even someone who is as white and nerdy as myself can get a lady's attention. | |

Take it easy, and stop taking the Internet so seriously. You're not getting paid to play the role of intelligent bitter male here.

Posted: 12/25/2007 9:34:03 AM | Bethlett may be the most honest one so far...
I'm guessing your socio-whatever aware women friends are 30- plusses?
To those fellas who claim to be 'connecting' with so many online ladies (online only?) and 'pulling' 3 or more dates per day/week/whatever, the point is, fellas, are these ladies you actually want?
Be honest now......if that's even an option..... | |

Baby, I've been on the Internet since 1988.
You were how old in 1988?
Thirteen? 
I've forgotten more about provoking people than you'll ever know!
Which is rather obvious, seeing how you goofed up on this thread!
are these ladies what you actually want?
No, but I'm not meeting most of them from online.
I think it's just a function of what's available and my age and who I was. | |

Posted: 12/25/2007 11:45:14 AM | I don't really think it is the place of us guys to decide whether we are marketable or not. Thats up to the "consumer".
However, physically, I can out perform my 20 yr old self, and intellectually, I could dance circles around my 20 yr old self. And of course, I'm infinitely more comfortable with myself and the world than when I was 20; which is another way of saying that I have a much more open and optimistic attitude now. I've had my fair share of tough breaks, but, you know, they were learning experiences. I took what I could learn from them, and left the rest behind.
Would I ever have another kid? Maybe possibly.
Would I ever get married? Have definitely thought about it.
Do I have it all figured out? Nope. And if I did I would intentionally over complicate just to create the illusion that I don't.... 'cause I think the "have it all figured out" attitude really sucks when I see it in people, especially when it is so clear that they're not even close... just closed.
All-in-all, the 30-something year old me has it all over the 20-something year old me. I still have all of the best apects of my youth, but now also have a bit of experience to go with all of that. | |

Sorry Spark but he actually did use the word "your" properly.
Your is belonging to you; of you; related to you. As in your cat or your tuna. A pronoun, the possessive of you.
You're is a contraction, as in you're not as smart as you thought you were.
So many people missed the point of this thread.
Oh well. At least some of you know how us 30+ ladies feel... and how it made some of us feel to see a POPULAR thread called "Are women over 30 still marketable" ... *shrug*
What makes you so sure it has been missed? Maybe it is you who has missed it? As I recall, it we you who through a temper-tantrum over the other thread?
Also: nothing "backfired" .... this isn't a war, and nobody is fighting here to win or lose...
I won't say anything backfired. However it does appear that the thread has not gotten the response you expected. That being said, I again question whether it is you who has missed it since it was you who took offense of the other thread and decided to run this one in retaliation.
Personally I think both threads are rather childish and nonproductive.
Thinking back, when I was 19, even 30 year olds where too old for my preferences, when I was 30, I would not have considered dating somebody of 40. Now that I am 40+ I can recognize that it was my loss, as I know that 40+ has much more to offer. Even if it’s merely a one night stand, because, typically speaking, they are more experienced and have moved beyond the games.
If I had it to do over again, I would most likely be more attracted to somebody 10-15 years old than myself.
IMO marriage should be outlawed for anybody under 35. Think what that would do to the divorce rate…………. | |

I think she's just a little angry that --- for a lot of guys in their 30's ---her appeal is declining. Fundamentally, she wants the upper hand and is scarred of losing that .So she's trying to turn that around, but her attempt to do so is so very, very .......lame. gmm, the reality is that any woman's appeal declines she gets more aggressive with others, or more accepting of others. The women I know of who get more accepting of others (and I know of a LOT), get more offers for a relationship (not just for sex) than when they were young. The women I know of who get more aggressive, have very few friends, have only a few men who use them as a free cook, cleaner, housekeeper, and get free sex, and their family doesn't want to know them. Why? Because people who only want their own way, are a pain in the a**, and no-one, not even family, wants a permanent pain in the a**. Who wants someone shoving a rod up your backside?

Posted: 12/25/2007 6:30:47 PM | Possible translations from women-speak
Are MEN marketable after age 30?? How about 40? I had a man on another site, chasing me, begging me to go out with him... I'm 33, he was 46. For me, that was TOO OLD. I think i am all that still even though there are younger more attractive women in their twenties - I deserve to have the younger guys hitting on me I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect, because there's no such thing but damn you better be 99% perfect -- but I am looking for a man close to my age, the younger ones ignored me or didn't have the $$$$ or position in life yet because i wont support them who is healthy, like I am, takes care of themselves, like I take care of myself, has brains, is open to a solid relationship actually i just want a version of myself with a penis ... and most the men I meet over 35, are anything but that. In fact most of them, just want a FWB -- have kids and don't want anymore, are divorced and don't even want to hear the 'M' word anymore. I missed my chance at screwing some guy over in divorce court - now the guys my age have smartened up and realise marriage is a losing prospect for men and the ones already divorced are to experienced to fall for the trap again
I am shitty that other women got the chance to screw them over before i did

Posted: 12/25/2007 6:42:11 PM | I will say this.. I would rather date a man who is in his 50's and 60's then a man in his 20 or 30's being 45 i have learned that I like men who have wisdom and poise not baby fat... lol
I have dated men younger then me and find that i have to pamper them way too much I do not want to be a mans mother..... nor should I be.
I dated men in my age group but I am finding out that they are not in the same boat with me.. I guess it goes to show... women are 7 years older then men..
So if i am 45 then 52yrs old or older is my right age in emotional and intellectual. Plus they have more wisdom and so much more interesting... The best lover i ever had was at the time 52yrs old.. he could out do a 20yr old any day.... and the 62yr old well if he was not gay he would have been a great lover.....
You do not have to worry about ex's you do not have to worry about the past.. it is over.. they live for the future.. or today...
but what you do have to deal with is this... they are scared they will lose you. They think that you will lose intreast. They think that in the end.. they will be too old for you so they leave before it ends. For your best interest...
I make sure I only date older men.... but wait... they keep leaving me... lol must be my attude.. or the fear of getting old...lol | |

Posted: 12/25/2007 6:53:24 PM | Thunderballs are GO... ya know, you can cut me up and try and "decipher" everything I've said here, but none of it will speak as loudly for me, as your "user name" speaks, for you.
As for my wanting a version of myself, only, with a penis... that's not true. If they happen to not have penis, say, like you for example, I'll give them a fair shot, too.

Posted: 12/25/2007 9:10:57 PM | | My take on this thread is it has nothing to do about men being marketable after age 30, but rather about retaliation/revenge from another thread. So IMO I am getting the point of the whole thread. For people you don't like their response, they don't get the point. If you like their response they get a pat on the back. I could see a person basing a thread on another thread if it would make a good topic of discussion. But I believe why this thread was created were for the wrong reasons. So now the OP jumps on the bandwagon doing the same thing. | |

OP, you miss the point, I think. I think a lot of people wondered, upon reading the OT, if it were intended to be ironic. Regardless, the OP and OT are standalone, and people responding to the Original Post and the Original Topic are "on topic". In point of fact, your subsequent "revelation" of intent, and derisive commentary to those responding to them, are "off topic".
There is an answer to the original topic, and that is that men are marketable after 30. So are women. It all depends on individuals. There are those men and women who would seem to have "retired" from being sexually desirable. The percentage of men and women to whom that applies is a larger one, as we age. However, within any given age group, it is obvious who is, and who isn't, still "in the game". Whatever age you pick, there are going to be many who simply aren't "marketable", and there are more who aren't at 30 than at 20, more at 40 than 30, and even more at 50.
I've known some women in their 60s, who are very desirable, and I've seen women in their 20s who aren't. I'm sure it's the same for men. So, in a way, your "point" is valid. Men who aren't "marketable" shouldn't be commenting on the "marketability" of women, and the reverse is also true. | |
