Because as women mature they understand that they deserve someone better who can treat them better who is better financially and many other things... and not all women age badly.
"who can treat them better who is better financially" And what do they bring to the relationship they so desperately seek?
@BruceJender An older woman I believe is much more mature and less fussy in dealing with relationships. Some might argue that maturity and age aren't directly proportional, while that might be true, there is still a certain level of wisdom a person gains as they grow older. Most older woman in search of a relationship (the ones I have come across upto now) have never mentioned wanting a "rich guy" or "handsome chiseled muscle monster". They just wanted someone whose personality and goals aligned with theirs and who treated them will respect and not like some sort of "used trash". However, I recommend you not to get into a relationship at all with the kind of insecure and invalidating mindset you have. Not only is it harmful to you but also to the people around you.
@SillyPug You don't know anything about me, so please don't even go there. Also, what are you doing here? my question wasn't asked to you...
@BruceJender Well actually no one is seeking anything desperately for example i know many women who dont care about relationships and are fine by themselves :))
Because when we are young and stupid (and super attractive) we thought we needed a man in our life. But we grow up and realize we don’t need them so if they want to hang around they had better be pretty awesome.
no lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
they've likely had a run of bad relationships, hookups with F boys, been divorced, have children, in some kind of debt they can't pay themselves or have some type of other baggage. which is why many of them end up alone as they get passed over by guys. who go for younger females that haven't gone through all the other stuff yet. or guys just opt out of dating in general because they rather not be a females backup plan in life.
Right and simultaneously the girls who are 19 have zero standards and fuck with the first guy who says hi or waste their pull demanding a man with nonsensical standards ie has the same favorite song and a full sleeve tattoo... instead of demanding someone awesome.
I think because we start going after quality instead of quantity after a certain age. There's no rush to go out and screw somebody. There are plenty of men out there just waiting.
Thank you, I’m glad you realize that. You know the problem with me is I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, I don’t party. My way of flirting isn’t to send nudes. But both girls and guys think that it’s perfectly okay. It’s not, it’s intrusive, it’s immature. Then girls on here bash me that I’m too vanilla. Well, I’d rather be nice, faithful, trustworthy and vanilla then some douche, bad boy who toys with her emotions.
I think as i get older I may finally find the right young woman because maybe she’ll realize that she’s had her experiences and “fun” and wants to settle down, as do I. A lot of guys who live that party/boozing life style use that to unwind after they are done work and that’s just not my cup of tea.
First of all, I doubt women in their 40s are too worried about finding someone, because at that point, they have probably accepted that they won’t or that they have no interest.
2nd of all, women in their 30s don’t really have anything less that they bring to the table in comparison to women in their 20s. Oh, and let’s not pretend men don’t care about how much money a woman brings in because many of you b*tches are broke as fuck.
Women in their 30s have a harder time of kids, their less beautiful without makeup (god I hate makeup), and most importantly… Half my fucking life’s over now I’m supported to fall in line for an older model?
No, actually they don’t. The only thing that slightly increases at age 35 is the chances of a child having Down syndrome, and even that is still a small chance. And many women don’t look much different in their early to mid 30s compared to their 20s.
Don’t bother me anymore.
Honestly I don’t care how much a girl makes. If I make a good salary and she makes like $35k-$40k doing office work I’m okay with that. It’s different if someone is badly in debt and broke and has no ambition. But we all have bills to pay. I still value women 30 and above.
@asker, as if anyone cares what you think.
Well clearly OP is a tool
'Older women are to be cherished like a fine cheese sometime the rind is the best bit'
Well said Mr Philips
The best things are older like fine wine, whisky and cheese, you know the older something is the better quality it offers to last this long
This analogy has gone off course hasn't it
Women do that because when they get in their age they realize a lot of things that didn't realize when they were younger and they twenties or teens or whatever that we do that because somebody that we put so much trust and love in kind of force us to become independent for yourself and not depending on nobody cuz we don't been there whether it's 10 5 10 15 20 years we never been there and gave him a chance to prove himself and guess what he let you down and you got a child from nothing
Because they’ve had time to get hurt by many guys so they know what they don’t want. They’ve also discovered themselves and realize what exactly they do want.
Guys should have their stuff together by then… they have multiple offspring to finance and they want to enjoy life. They aren’t likely to start over at 19 again.
It’s knowing what they want which is maturity and it’s also from experience
They don’t waste their time which is vary wise and usually someone has standards they get high quality of the they are looking for
Maybe I'm weird, but (as long as they've kept themselves in good physical shape) I consider women in their mid to late 30s and 40s to be way sexier than younger women
It seems to me that they increase their standards because they can. Go on Match. com or PlentyOfFish. com and I can see the high standards most all women have.
You just kind of expect more the older younger you get
Because most people don't date by treating the other partner as a property but meh everyone can do what they wish
Self respect and morals make a lady feel better about herself.. there’s a glow about them especially if they’re Fod fearing women.
God fearing*
A men better respect us and love us or they don't really love us so basically for the right reasons.
Because they have learned that being with the wrong man is worse that being alone.
By then they've learned what they DON'T like.
The reality is, most of them are un-dateable, undesirable, the rejects. They're looking for a provider.
If you're the right man all those standards go out the window. Being good looking, rich etc.. Helps, I won't deny that but what's more important is how you make a woman feel.
