Dating, no. But they can be fun to hang out with on occasion.

To put it blunty, you're wrong. There's no way around it. Sure there will be outliers, but do those outliers completely negate how the other 99.99999% of men operate?

Eh. I've had some half-way dating relationships develop from it. Sure, the primary use is to find a hot hole on a hot face, but every now and then you find a fun one.

I wonder how many tinder marriages will have been made in the next ten years. I already know one, dude knocked up a girl in the first week. They've been married two years now.

Of course, there are genetically programmed issues, in both men and women. Let's all agree on that and get that out of the way.

But to take that fact, and extrapolate that all women decrease in value as they age? Delusional.

you're literally creating a new argument here

quote:

The problem with people like you is that you don't understand as you age, and mature, your value system adjusts. You no longer act strictly off of desires. You live, and begin to understand that things you didn't value when young, you value much more highly. And vice versa.

i don't think you get it

we're talking about the increased ability to have both

you get to engage in desires as well as demand girls fulfill those other values, or you go find one who will

quote:

You'll always feel like women decrease in value. I get that. But I'm trying to offer a different perspective, from a man that has lived where you are, and evolved to where I, and I think most men my age, have found ourselves.

why do you think it's much more common for a men to date 20+ years below their age compared to women (esp women without major money)?

I'm old, and I date old women too. Maybe I am the exception. A young woman would really kill me.

After posting on this site for going on 7 years, trust me, I thank God every day I don't live in the same world as some of these people.

I guess my values suck arse. Or I have low T?

The truth of the matter is, all people, men and women, can increase or decrease their value, no matter what age. To think that women, as a gender, decrease in value as they get older is the epitome of immaturity. What you define as "value", is much different from the majority of normal, mature adults.



Uhhh.. in a scientific sense women literally decrease in value as they age; their number 1 purpose evolutionarily speaking is reproduction, an ability which becomes less achievable the older one gets.

Welp, Hammertime has officially deemed me wrong. As the trusted revealer of truth, with the unblemished reputation of honesty, I will have to defer to your wisdom, and concede.

I don't think that women devalue on the surface to guys as fast as is being stated. I think it's more about how women see themselves.

They know they've aged, wrinkled, sagged comparatively over the past 5 years so they start thinking less and less about themselves and then that's when their expectations lower and start to fall in line with where they should have been from the get go.

Only issue now, is that the guy they should have chose 5 years ago is now making 50% more and is angry.

Fes,

this is a book on economics and it talks on a macro level man.... It's not about EVERY woman losing value. It's averages.

It's about the average man is looking for a women younger than him and the average woman is looking for a man older than her.... It's all about averages. Of course some men lose value over time and some women gain it, but certainly you have to understand that a dating pool (as an economic system) has to value men increasingly as he ages and women are devalued over time...

I'm good with that number. Just looking at like 10 of my single buddies, there are two or three that completely shut down when talking to girls, a couple that don't even bother with them, and then a couple that can hook up with new girls relatively easily.

I don't sit around and notice how a guy looks, but the successful ones definitely have a much different personality that the unsuccessful ones.

You know, it's not gay to be able to recognize when another man is handsome.

I directly responded to the quote of Hammertime, and his allegation that all women decrease in value. And I'm creating a new argument here?

And that's the exact same point that I'm trying to make to you. I don't think you get it.

It happens both ways, fwiw. And it's an indication of shallowness to an extent. So in general, are women as a gender not as shallow? Maybe.

But the answer is not that because all women decrease in value as they age. That's just ridiculous. And shallow.
