Did I say age prejudice?
Quote From: audigirlHello,
You stated that you have "always considered women to have the upper hand"; after a certain age (such as 50) I don't find that to be true at all. Most men in my age group, seem to be attracted to younger women; in their 30's and early 40's. And since women in the "younger" age group, are sometimes looking for men in their 50's, women like me have an even more difficult time finding a "special man".
I'm 53, and even though everyone says I certainly "don't look my age"; facts are facts.....I'm still 53. But, I'm hopeful that a man near my age, is looking for someone "my age"..... I didn't realise that upper 30's and 40's type women folk were explicitly after us oldsters.
I'm very good friends with a woman in her 60's and she doesn't look her age either. I suppose your experience comes with short-sighted types of men who place importance on a single statistic. What a waste!
Yet something inside me has a "schadenfreude" type of grin on its face. All those years as a 20 & 30 year old the women looked down at me and I felt like the scum of the earth. That was when women had the upper hand. Now that I'm over 50, female divorcees are actually talking to me, 10 years my junior, and it's like a rebirth. I am no longer scummy.
But why would 30 & 40 year old women be interested in oldsters?
