    Oh I fully agree, no arguments there. But the point the poster was making was that men were programmed towards youth and will, in the majority of cases, go after younger models when he has the resources to do so

    when Bowie was getting old and his libido waning Iman was still good - no need for an upgrade.

    How the hell is this thread still going? simple fact is men in their 50s can still mostly perform where as women are past it sexually(menopause) by then so it would be unfair to expect a single man in his 50s to be settling for a sexless relationship. Older man younger woman has been the norm for millennia.

    You do realise that the menopause means women stop having periods? They're still able to have sex

    No, no pretty sure menopause means the vagina

    correct. time waits for no one. I think that men get a better deal there tho - besides being likely to die younger!

    I commented on another thread about the standards of posters here (After Hours) and anti women sentiment.

    Someone defending it, said it was a couple of trolls.

    This thread is full, not just a couple, but has a fair contingent pushing anti women sentiment.

    In the other thread, it was very sad to see how low people push the boundaries. It annoyed me as it's picking on someone unable to defend themselves.

    In this thread, it's just hilarious. I mean just read some of these comments, even just a few above and keep a straight face. There can't possibly be that many trolls, so these people have to be serious. You'd really have to wonder how they actually survive in the real world which is dirty, gritty and tough.

    yeah but fairly low requirement on here for being called a troll, or woman hater, or what not.

    maybe thats why they seem to be so numerous.

    I've no idea on trolls, I take them all as being serious, maybe just a low standard of person.

    As regards women hating, it's fairly obvious.? Anyone who writes things they would not say to people's faces maybe?

    Yes. Some here seem to think they're in a competition against women. Probably confused and frustrated that the world is changing and they're not sure of their position in it anymore as more and more women are striding forward.

    Focus on living your life, doing your best and being the very best you can be. In work, at home, in life.

    When you see your family members and loved ones slip away in front of your very eyes, how aggressive illlnesses can turn Cinderella into The Hunchback of Notredam almost overnight, it shows how delicate and precious life is and how Irrelevant people who give any credence to his type of rubbish actually are.

    What is the possible upside of people using this type of language in everyday life?

    Everyone is just getting on, plodding on, doing the best they can.

    I interact and coach people experiencing depression. They are people from all walks of life, colour, creed, age. It's not discriminatory. Everyone has a value is equal.


    Now you see your post wall women derogatory bull****.

    I kindly suggest you take it and shove it where the sun doesn't shine - and then some.

    Like any man is going to pick a 50yo over a 23yo.

    Sure that may sound harsh but what woman is going to take a 5' man over 6'+ man? None.

    LOL

    If being older is stale bread in comparison to the fresh bread , then he is admitting to being stale bread himself.

    I know, I know, in his simple mind, he is still a young dude.

    its slowly starting to dawn on women that feminism as sold to them has been a lie.
    get married, stay at home and raise children, well thats bad, you are trapped, a prisoner.
    go to work for 40 hours a week in a office, in a job you hate, making money for your boss, thats real freedom ladies
    now these women who went full feminist are in mid 30's , single and childless, their looks are fading and they are competing with 20-30 year old younger prettier girls for the attention of men, its a loosing game, of course they can become easy, a sure thing and get male attention, but not the ring on the finger they crave.
    Next they claim they have left the party scene behind, fact is it was not your choice, you just dont get invited anymore.
    in their 40's now, alone and bitter, you know feminist BS has screwed your life but to proud to admit you where wrong, at least older men pass on advice to younger men, but older women perpetrate the lie, they want to have more women join their miserable ranks

    And as I'm sure you know, stale bread can easily be revived with a little bit of love and attention and warmth from the oven ! What can appear to be past it's prime can be quite delicious.

    French toast is better with stale bread. If the bread is too fresh, the french toast ends up soggy

    In fairness some guys have displayed bitterness in this discussion - one even said outright that that was the case with him.

    On the other hand several female posters have displayed high levels of delusion and denial.

    Where are all these 20-30 year old women fighting for the attention of the average 50 year old man? They don't exist, you are delusional.

    Also, most people have to work in today's society to be able to live, including married couples with kids. It has feck all to do with feminism.

    Your insight on women is startling. I bet you're a big hit with all the pretty 20 year old girls :D


    'Tis a shame the irony is so sadly lost on you that attitudes such as yours, no doubt fostered over many years spent ferociously masturbating to some sad sack website dedicated to the downfall of the female species, are actually fuelling the so called new wave feminism so many men on here seem deathly terrified of.


    Live and let live I say; when you mature a little and finally move out of your folks' place, I'm sure the girls will flock to you - with any luck, you might even bag one of the loose, easy ones in their mid thirties!

    It would appear, well from reading some posts, that only women age. The streets of Eire is packed with Redfords and Clooneys for the stale bread to ogle.
    What about the very low hanging fruits, the inability (without the auld blue pills of course) to get and maintain an erection, the expanding waistline, and the hairline disappearing? Just some of the cruel gentleman's aging processes they can to look forward to.

    the denial is palatable , it is seeping through the screen.
    a fare statement, a woman would prefer a 6" man over a 5" man, no one would deny this.
    so why is it so hard for the female posters to accept a man would prefer a younger woman?
