Quote From: groovy>For one thing, they haven't spent a lifetime being miserable and developing a very hostile attitude towards men (yet).
That's red flag #1 - your assumption that older women have developed a very hostile attitude toward men & that women as they age are at risk of such.
>They are still curious enough about sex to be interested.
Red flag #2 - the stereotype that older women are not interested in sex.
>They still know how to have fun,
Red flag #3 - Your assumption that older women don't know how to have fun.
>they whine less
Red flag #4 - Your assumption that older women whine more. Incidentally, "whining" is a pejorative assumption made by the listener. If a guy often makes pejorative assumptions, that's another red flag about him.
,>are less judgemental,
and don't spend as much time looking for faults. In short, they are willing to give a guy at least half a chance.
Red flag #5 - More pejorative assumptions about older women. Older individuals, men & women, are more likely to know what their deal breakers are from experience. I know a 64 year-old widower who now makes smoking & excessive drinking deal-breakers. (His wife died due to her bad habits.) I know an 48 year-old divorced guy who says he now knows chemistry is not enough for a relationship, & now requires good communication for a relationship to proceed. Both these men are more aware of what they want & their former wives never would have made it to the second date. I know older women who have learned lessons along those lines, as well. But you're framing this perjoratively.
I don't know how old you are & exactly what you mean by "older". I'm in my 40s. But I would never date a guy who had so many negative assumptions about my demographic. If you would like women to give you at least half a chance, then I suggest YOU be less judgemental & don't spend as much time looking for the faults of women in a certain demographic.
I assume nothing. I speak through a great deal of personal experience. "whining is a pejorative assumption made by the listener." In this case, I believe that would be you, and you would prove my point rather well had I been making one. I was merely offering some positive qualities I have noticed in younger women that were lacking in the last few women I have dated who were in my age group. I suspect there are plenty of women who are not like this, but I haven't been looking all that hard. You have read far too much into what I have written, but thanks for your input. I enjoyed reading your opinion.
