I see so many older women (usually around age 40 or over) these days who say they can't find men of the same age who want them. ''I have a great career, salary, own my house, have a social circle, am funny, smart, educated etc etc. so why don't any good men want me?''. What they don't understand is what they are describing is what they find attractive in a man. I just can't understand how they can't figure out (especially by that age) that other things are far more important to men : youth, looks, femininity.. Sure many men also like those other qualities listed but they are not priorities and many much younger also posses them (this is something else women seem baffled about : why men almost always want to date women much younger than themselves).
The other problem is that they are competing for the attention of an ever increasing pool of ''quality'' men because of many societal changes : fewer men than women are educated these days, women under 40 make more money than men in the same bracket, the reluctance of men to get married, men are marrying foreign women etc.
It reminds of another thing middle age women don't get : wealthy, middle aged men cheating or leaving the wife for the hot 22 yo intern at work. Since they wouldn't do it, something must be ''off'' with the men. They think it's a ''middle age crisis''. No such thing, old buddy. It's simply nature and the differences between male and female sexuality. Men and women are different creatures with different evolutionary strategies.
