This brings up another good point
[Read the article: Are men spoiled rotten?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]by all accounts, there are scads of eligible older men. Yet despite this, women seem to have problems bumping into them.
Is this because women are not used to having to take initiative to find men? After all, young women cannot leave the house without men jumping out of trees offering their bodies up. What effort is required there?
So naturally it seems like a real stretch to actually have to put in effort to engage and get a man.
On the other hand, maybe the older women complaining can and do meet tons of eligible men, but the women are not honest with themselves about their own mental state or personal situation or whatever it is that scares the men from committing to them.
I know I have bumped into several older women recently that had deluded themselves into believing they were sane, but when you observed them for some time, you realize these women are batty. How sad. I guess they need an insane man if they want someone.
Then again, women just put the prize right out, so why should men bother becoming involved beyond this level? And if she is crazy, you move on to the next one. I know lots of men who do this.

Setting aside
[Read the article: Are men spoiled rotten?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that you cannot even summarize accurately..
1) Women over 30 are unattractive
Less attractive. But so are men, supposedly according to you women.
2) Old men are attractive to younger women
Not just looks attract. So does money, stability, wisdom.
3) Women get all the attention when they are younger, men get all the attention when they are older.
The ratio skews down for women over time and up for men over time, but overall it is best to be young and hot for either sex. Are you pissed off that men have some more power over time as women's power withers? I think so.
4) The only value women have in society is how sexually attractive they are to men (subtext of all of these types of discussions)
If society consists only of men, which of course is not true, since women run the society, more so than men. Yes, men place great value on attractiveness. So do women. Men also place great value on how kind and trustworthy a woman is. So do women.
Your problem is nobody wants you-- if you come off half as bitter in life as you do in your screed.

I S'pose
[Read the article: Are men spoiled rotten?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you really think when you’re older you’re all of a sudden going to be surrounded by young hotties I think you’re in for a very rude awakening.
I've resigned myself to the fact that at 41, I am pretty much repulsive and useless to women. Women I do not really want anyway because in America usually they feel empowered to introduce trouble and grief and new ways to stick it to men.
I am resigned because I realized the true sweethearts were all snapped up decades ago, while I was working towards my fortune so one day I could marry and have kids and also be financially prepared.
I am resigned because I realize instead of working to make myself a nest egg, money inheritances many Americans take for granted but I as a first gen American did not have, instead I should have whored around, focused on my abs and glutes and gotten all the free and easy sex I shunned because of my conservative religious upbringing and my hope and promise that the right one would show up when I was ready to make a life with her.
Now I want nothing. Not some stupid chick with problems. Not some crazed women only seeking sperm or cash.
I only want sex, lots of it, with someone I love. But most women seem batty and deluded and push their crap on me. Or they reject me because I am not their stupid Brad Pitt or George Clooney lookalike they all want. Or they weigh 250 and seriously entertain the notion that some guy wants them anyway. Or they have had 200-500 one night stands and refuse to fess up to it. And they all think they can do anything they want, but the guy has to be limited in his choices and rights in the relationship. Oh, and he needs to be FIXED too.
