    So...for all you guys in their 40's and 50's who are stating "biology" as the reason for the older men/younger women pairings, please remember that there is also a good reason that women hit their sexual peaks in their mid-30's while men hit thier peak around 19 or 20.

    This old chestnut is only applicable to unaware sad old men. I have a much more rich, interesting sex life at 41 than I ever had at 20- partner or no partner.

    But then I take care of my body, learn all there is to know about human sexuality, and do what it takes to keep my sexuality growing.

    I think more men are learning this to also be the case in their lives.

    Also, I neglected the probable real reason these men tell her they want kids. They are PLAYERS. These guys come in every age bracket, and many women even after decades cannot discern a player from a real man.

    Usually these women are easily seduced by charm and looks and only go for the cute, put together ones, the ones who spend all their time and attention honing their skills. In this way players easily take advantage of women's lack of discernment.

    It is the equaivalent of men who only go for bleached hair big tit bimbos and who fail to look beyond this veneer to the vacuous dope behind it. Of course, those men do not then proceed to grouse that they cannot find a real woman.

    If women stopped insisting men put on an act, stayed away from the easy lays, and decided to chase the rough diamonds instead, they might more often find REAL PEOPLE instead of guys in masks who are merely taking advantage of easy and ample sex then moving on.

    But then womem love to show off their arm candy, it is flattering to their egos to be in the company of players (who, in their egotistic minds, they will try to change and snag).

  • I am not against eye candy

    as long as the person truly wants eye candy, can acquire it, and is not deluding themselves that they have more than that.

    LW wanted companionship, something eye candy will likely not get her.

  • Yet, of course

    in your estrogen poisoned mind it is perfectly OK for the woman to control the MAN'S body, in the form of coopting his labor against his will on behalf of the child he never wanted.

    A father doesn't have a right to control another person's body

    Don't get too comfy ladies, this men-as-slaves-to-women thing is about to end.

  • Actually

    I endorse Anonymous 12:12's message. He is correct. Women love to play the game that their opinion does not matter.

    The reality is that parents decide that a boy will be labeled a freak by future women if he is natural.

    A vociferous effort and campaign by women against male genital mutilation would end it.

    That so many women take the opposite tack and tell men they would not have sex with an uncut male only shows them in a very bad light-- akin to Nazi War Doctors.

  • Here is what gets me

    [Read the article: The art of the pickup]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    either women do not think, or else they are selfish.

    how so?

    after I read The Game and a few other books, I became a much more socially adept person in front of women.

    Men all know women will not give a man the time of day if they do not perceive him to be in charge of the social situation.

    A stuttering man who is hesitant, unpolished, and shy is NEVER getting laid, no matter how many women imagine they would give him a chance-- unless of course he is an Adonis.

    Men who master their domain and 'act' in charge get laid. END OF STORY.

    My problem has been that I have been too moral to feel comfortable 'play acting' with women (as is necessary to get laid). This attitude is changing in me as I realize it is either this or my hand for the rest of my life. So now I have no problem chatting up a woman out of the blue in public, I have no problem joking with her, or even making a provocative comment. It is NOT all natural to all men to be this way.

    Since all players are socially adept, the rest of the men must follow suit and learn the same tricks or else the only men who get laid are the players. Sad but true.

    And a sad commentary on what women claim they want from men VS what they actually fall for.

    I don't know about Ohio, but here in Texas, there is a lot less morality than in NYC. Here it is everyone's right to cheat, steal, lie to and rob anyone, anytime as long as you get to church on Sunday. In NY there is a native morality I did not appreciate when I was living there. I have had things taken from me over a dozen times in Texas, apparently anytime anything is left anywhere is open season. I lived in Bed Stuy Brooklyn for six years and only had a car battery taken twice. But anyway, you right wing morality freaks can go stuff it.

  • if it is true 40-something men date much younger women

    and are apparently able to make this happen relatively regularly, LW should get a clue and date 65-70 year old men.
