Posted: 12/25/2007 9:50:27 PM | Marketable... ? ...
*shudder...
Just thinking about men as if they're a used car or second hand sweater makes me ill.
People put so much emphases on what's normal, on what's expected or cool.
Where's the humanity?
We are all subject to some toils when it comes to the issues of dating.
One person wants this, one person wants that... it becomes a blur of nonsense.
Just my little rant...
pay no attention to the voice behind the curtain.

Posted: 12/25/2007 10:09:29 PM | I can't (and won't) answer for all men since you DID lump us all in one category, and I seriously despise that just as I despised that in the other thread you speak of.. Anyway, I digress...
Hell yes I am (was, I am very taken now) marketable after 30. I grew up, pulled my head out of my a$$, and learned from my mistakes I have made in my past. If anyone (male or female) can manage to do that at any age, they are marketable IMO. | |

Posted: 12/25/2007 10:32:33 PM | and most the men I meet over 35, are anything but that
And is that thier fault? For your expectations. I have found most of the women that are single or divorced from 30s to 40s to be demanding and very, very, VERY materialistic. If they have kids they don't want anymore or yours. If they don't, they will put up with your's but you have to be willing to have one or more. I tell a woman over 30 that i am raising my 22 month old grandson, she's gone faster then I can get his name out. Some of us made mistake's (vasectomy) thinking we were going to die with the one we married.
They hit their mid 30's and started on this when we going to do this and this, haven't done that in 15 years told you before we were married I wasn't going to. First question I get asked by some women when do you plan to retire. When I don't come home or I can longer walk. "gone"
Most 30 something's it is all about them. The old school boy it is about people around them. And they LIVE TO LOVE not LOVE TO LIVE they LIVE TO WORK not WORK TO LIVE. No some of us are not going to find anyone again in this new world but we still have a few around us that know we have their back's 100% of the time. We are not old just remember when the world was a better place to live.And people found happiness in each other and their home. | |

but I am looking for a man close to my age, who is healthy, like I am, takes care of themselves, like I take care of myself, has brains, is open to a solid relationship... 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.
Why are you meeting these dolts?
Most of the men I meet who are over 35 are fit, intelligent, looking for long term relationships, either definitely want kids or are happy to have kids (or more kids) if she wants them, and are never married and want to marry or are divorced but enjoyed the closeness and want to marry again with the goal of a lifetime commitment.
Improve your initial filters or change the "bait" in your profile if you are only hearing from the "undesirables" (whatever that is to you).

Posted: 12/26/2007 12:10:49 AM | My daer sparkinthedark, you FOOL YOURSELF! You have claimed; "I'm 33, he was 46. For me, that was TOO OLD. I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect, because there's no such thing -- but I am looking for a man close to my age, who is healthy, like I am, takes care of themselves, like I take care of myself, has brains, is open to a solid relationship... "
46 is "TO OLD" for YOUR 33 YR OLD EGO darling ??? - Not looking for Mr Perfect? LIKE HELL YOU AINT! He's got to be close to my age (beacause I'm fabulous) - he's got to be healthy (spunky) (like my beautiful self) - takes care of himself (like I do) - he must have brains (just like I THINK I have!) - he's got to be open to a solid relationship (double-speak for "I've got to be able to control him".)
Naturally - you haven't told him yet - he must like YOUR dog and YOUR kids, YOUR friends, bring the relationship TO YOU (coz u ain't movin'), and at 33 he must be YOUR "SOULMATE" (even though neither one of you has a clue what one IS!).
He will no doubt be "evaluated" on his ability to impress and be approved YOUR SNOBBISH, shallow FRIENDS (just like you).
More than likely, you've BEEN DOWN THIS PATH BEFORE - some people just NEVER LEARN! They are EGO out-of-control...
AN OLDER GUY IS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MOST FEMALES! We have maturity, security, wisdom, stability, empathy, compassion, support, are well-established and experienced in "life" - and have most of the attributes that ONLY MATURITY and EXPERIENCE CAN BRING. MOST 30-something guys are still IMMATRE "LITTLE BOYS and don't have a CLUE what a woman really needs, after previous "little boys" have failed! | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 12:40:28 AM | Lets see now.
Men, and women, can be considered unmarketable if.
= They are so ugly that people in the street turn away retching and shaking and little kids scream at the sight of them.
= they have bashed a partner (BOTH wife and husband bashing, ) badly enough to end up in hospital
- they deal drugs in font of the kids or share drugs with the kids.
- Thier spending habits have already bankrupted at least one previous partner. (common among shopaholic women)
-One is still asked for ID roudn the bars and the other is eleigible for a nursing home.
Do the rest of the "reasons" touted on the ppost suddenly seeem ridiculously petty? | |

SpiritualGuy, why so angry?
Do you really want her?
I'm ambivalent.
I was soaking in the jacuzzi, watching the sky, thinking about what a failure I was with women, how I knew so little.
I never did anything right.
I'm short.
I don't smile enough.
I don't like to hand out false compliments.
I didn't dress well.
I bought the cheapest cars.
The hot water and the sky and thinking... do you really want her?
I thought I had a second chance.
I thought I could fix what I did wrong.
Now I wonder if it matters. As near as I can tell, the percentage bet is a repeat of my marriage, which I do not want and surely will not work for. I cared mostly about sex, less about a companion and I thought that by now the biological programming of these women would have faded.
But apparently only the sex part has faded.
Not in the younger women, which means she may be a better value.
But is that enough?
It's so quiet here. Nobody would hear even the noisiest sex here, it's nestled in an alcove, surrounded by trees. I was drawn in by Dominique, I saw things in her that I never saw in a woman. But they were false or I was deluded. She is revealed as the same, sold out to the highest bidder, sexuality and defiance muted, nose ring gone, dressed in socialite clothes.
Do you want her?
The odds are poor.
The odds are poor that you can find true love with her and possibly not even long-lasting sex.
Why is it like this?
Was it the Old Society that deluded me?
Or is it the New Society that deceives itself?
I probably don't want her.
You can have her, though. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 12:49:44 AM | Actually, the REAL question is; Why do people continue to lower themselves by posting such shallow threads? (This applies to both genders.)
The OP was right; someone really needs a slap upside the head. | |

... and it made me want to slap someone at first. Really.
Perhaps you should notch up your Buddhism?
I'd like to hear what ya'll have to say... cut loose!!
As I said in the other thread. EVERYBODY has a market value. It depends on each one of us to raise or decrease it, and it depends on everybody else to decide if they are willing to pay it or not. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 4:26:28 AM | I'm with you. I'm almost 36. In excellent health and otherwise take care of myself. I would like to have more children. So, naturally I want to date women who take care of themselves and who are open and able to have children.
I don't find women my age or older necessarily have any more direction in life then women younger then me do.
Marketable? Why in the world would any 20's something woman put herself through the hell of starting a relationship with a guy in his 20's???

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?
Claiming?
I for one don't need to claim. It was a matter of fact. Now were any of these ladies anyone I wanted? Absolutely, but through the process you weed out the ones that are not compatible. Sometimes I didn't have the chemistry they wanted, sometimes they didn't have the chemistry I wanted, yet along the way both had a ton of fun. And ultimately, found a keeper. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 7:40:22 AM | | I don't consider myself or women as marketable. Sounds to much like describing an object. Are we here to sell ourselves??? In my opinion , no. People are not objects that should be described as marketable. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 8:21:18 AM | My answer to this remains the same as the one I gave on the thread asking if women were "marketable" after the age of 30...it makes no difference to me if this is in reference to men OR women.
I think that anyone who equals or reduces a human life to a mere market value is not someone I want anywhere near me or near the people I love and care for.
And I don't care to hear their "logic" and the many excuses they'll try to use to justify their reasoning behind it.
I wouldn't even care if everyone started to think and feel this way...it still wouldn't change the way that *I* feel about it.
I personally refuse to put a price on any human being...and if that means I'm no longer "marketable", then so be it.
Love and peace to all :)
PS: Oh and in case anyone thinks I'm just being "politically correct" with my liberal bleeding heart "hippie" answer, they're more than welcome to think or believe whatever they want...to each their own opinions:)
JMHO

I don't think is so much on the market value you give others, but how you look at your own self. Do we all market each other? You bet'cha. Take for instance. Do you wear make up? If you do not believe in marketing, stop wearing it.
Do you buy or like good shoes, good belts, good clothes? Again, you are marketing yourself.
The first person you market yourself to is:
Yourself. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 9:01:05 AM | Hm. Are you trying to say there is a thread out there regarding the marketability of WOMEN over the age of 30......where the men respondents were particularly nasty about what they had to say about women over 30?
If so, that will come to me as quite a shock.
  <img
Oh...by the way...
I agree that there are TONS of really attractive, intelligent, quality men over the age of 30 that are still available. But you WILL often hear the women their age and older say "there are no good men left".
............that is because (and I speak from experience)...the older men of quality go after the YOUNGER women....not us. I placed an ad on Craiglist of all places a couple months ago..and did not state my age. Since I apparently look considerably younger than 56, I got TONS of really marvelous responses from really quality men in their 40's and early 50's. I was SHOCKED, having never have received an email before from even ONE hot, sexy, decently employed, intelligent male over 40 in my area....and I was soooo pleased to see they DID exist! I thought.. "FINALLY, MY SHIP HAS COME IN!"...........
The SECOND I told them my age, they disappeared. Every single one.
See above poster number 44:
I'm with you. I'm almost 36. In excellent health and otherwise take care of myself. I would like to have more children. So, naturally I want to date women who take care of themselves and who are open and able to have children.

Marketable? Why in the world would any 20's something woman put herself through the hell of starting a relationship with a guy in his 20's???
He's not even looking at women his own age..he thinks they are not able to have children. LOLOLOL.

Posted: 12/26/2007 9:18:07 AM | i think the older the guy up to say 48 for me lol the better as they are more sure of what they want in life and of course are more mature ,though i agree it gets on my nerves when they go on about being married being hurt b;lah blah blah lol hey we all been there done that to and god dont go on about it baggage issues are so unattractive in a man the past should be just that the past! we all basically want the same thing here to love and be loved to settle down with a guy or a girl on the same level as us but you never know till you take a chance and most guys ive found so far are just not willing to take that chance ive made lots of friends here but noone yet who wants more than that . i wish you luck hun .....christella x  | |

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 im-sillyatheart-3, the way you write, and look, the only thing that these men are afraid of, is that you'll leave them for a younger man. After all, you turned my head, and I'm 10 years younger than you. 
You, my lovely, are a classic example of a woman over 40 who is VERY marketable. Very, very marketable. | |
