I'm in my late 30s, been divorced for a shade over five years, and find myself running out of gas. It's all about return on investment for me. You spend untold money or time or both getting a woman, and you can only keep her temporarily before she is distracted by the newest jangling keys.<br /><br />I would love to have a wife and children, but I honestly don't know how you do that anymore. With social media, and smart-phones, and online dating, the split second she get's bored she gets gone, which means you have to restart the entire process over. It's a drag.<br /><br />When I first hit the market again, I was out there constantly. I'm noticing the interval between dating episodes for me is getting longer and longer.LawDognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-42047085591718108812015-01-20T00:39:01.694-08:002015-01-20T00:39:01.694-08:00hmm isnt this just like the ever shifting peak oil...hmm isnt this just like the ever shifting peak oil target?<br />as demand for womens attention drops, supply will increase as they get more desperate, raising the capital of previously looked over men, who would be eager enough to go have their turn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-62883482237170742972014-06-19T17:11:22.805-07:002014-06-19T17:11:22.805-07:00Wikked --

With brutal minded [meaning certain] men and the 'conceit of their greater value' as 'an attack on these women', almost 'an assault' I would term it. Anyway, I'm actually wondering if [whomever] will truly have 'the courage' to publish it, next to all 'the other incendiary comments' from certain men, who as The Bible would term it,'think MORE HIGHLY of themselves, than they ought [to]'. That's such a great laugh, but, this spirit in society, against women now, coming from men, IS 'ACTUALLY' WHAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM; IT'S TECHNICALLY, ASSAULTING WOMEN, ATTACKING G_D'S CREATION. !

Period. I...Let's get something clear right now. Period. It is NOT TRUE re: anything w/ 'age', as I do not see, per se, as much as a gender bias tone in your 'theories', as your PREOCCUPATION with 'age', or 'ageism', just another element to 'categorize', 'put in a box' of some sort and belittle the female species. Now, I'm not BLIND, and if one can CLEARLY open their eyes and 'see', it is QUITE OBVIOUS, that just bec. someone is in their 20's, it is NOT SYNONOMOUS with beauty. And I'm talking 'physical beauty', NOT JUST inherent, inner beauty. In other words, I DAILY see 50 yr old's, 50 yr. old young ladies that are PRETTIER than quite a few 20 yr. olds, HANDS DOWN. SORRY, IF IT TAKES THE WINDS OUT OF YOUR ARGUMENTS TO BE JUST 'ANOTHER ATTACK' ON 'girls', 'ladies', 'women'. Not that I am trying to make this statement adversarial, per se; I am not, but 'the truth' is the truth. I could care less what any of you say, if a woman has 'natural beauty' [not many, with 'real, natural G_d given physical beauty'] she'll beat a 30 yrs. younger woman out, anytime, anytime. Not that this is any egotistical competitive dynamic, hopefully. But, in 'your own conceit' of your worth and values as a male [i.e., some males] it's simply a lie and another attack to keep the upper hand and to belittle the other gender. Sorry, it won't work, it's too obvious, that you're purposely inducing 'a prejudicial spirit' towards something, really, that is 'AN UNTRUTH'. PERIOD.

As I have settled into my mostly fun single life, I now find myself paying off my debts, riding my Harley, taking surfing trips, reading a lot, watching good movies, and just generally enjoying my life. I have stopped visiting the dating websites. It is just too much effort and I can't be bothered.heresolonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461382067580153600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-71378556585635967662014-06-13T20:49:18.040-07:002014-06-13T20:49:18.040-07:00Capt, I think you might be missing one more elemen...Capt, I think you might be missing one more element, children.<br /><br />I would think there are very few guys in the 40-50 range that want to make that kind of commitment and expend that amount of energy.<br /><br />Children being the primitive reason for hooking up in the first place, without that desire for children, there really is no necessity for having a woman in your life.<br /><br />I think we men get to a place where being on our own is ok, and can even be desirable, especially if you're having to "start over".<br /><br />Fuck that, love my wife, but this is my second and LAST marriage.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-28501806918778409402014-06-13T16:31:18.602-07:002014-06-13T16:31:18.602-07:00It's a sensible argument.
Any thinking person...It's a sensible argument.<br /><br />Any thinking person knows that life is just a cost-benefits exercise. I want X; it will provide benefits Y, but the cost is Z. If the ratio Y/Z is high enough, go for it. Cost, in this case, includes the number of active hours of time available. As we get older, those decrease, so the cost of getting a good woman and doing the kabuki dance that's needed to build and maintain a relationship increases. But the benefits are decreasing around us. Women marry and then divorce at will, trashing lives. Sex is nice, but at some point, it's not worth the trouble as the Y/Z ratio drops too low.<br /><br />The end result of this will be that single, childless women will demand Our Helpful Government to rule that artificial insemination will be covered under Obamacare, and women who get it will be entitled to the equivalent in money and benefits of a $50K+ job straight from Uncle Sugar. Of course, it's only fair that single men pay a higher share of that burden, so at some point, that'll be included in taxes.

To be fair - my game was never good. I'm also fat, and out of shape from 30 years of spending 75 hours a week in front of a computer and not forcing my self to workout. So part of it maybe them giving up on me too. <br /><br />As you get older, your tolerance for brain dead chattering about all the really important issues facing some reality tv star, disappears. <br /><br />Older women are easer to talk with, in many cases still have some memory of what "Grace, Class & Style" actually mean, yet far to many have bought into the feminist meme that says - you're a woman you can have it all! Not having been able to actually achieve that, makes them bitter. Too many of them, makes the sorting a pain in the ass. <br /><br />I prefer to spend my time doing things that don't give me a headache.

It might take a generation or two for men to even begin to trust women again with LTRs. Right now, I doubt many men would see a woman's pursuit of committment in a post-crash, dystopian society as anything other than their natural hypergamy on necessity-induced steroids. I'm sure more than a few men's attitude would be "nice try, sweetie, but no sale.

If you look at the sexual market as an economic market, there should be a market clearing price where supply equals demand. What I see among women my age is women demanding too much and men deciding it's not worth it. You can see this in the fact that more women under 45 are married than men but it reverses after that. So why do they do that? I think many older women just falsely assume there's the same demand for them as when they were a twenty year hottie. They haven't adjusted to the reality that their sexual market value has dropped a lot while it's dropped at a slower rate on the male side. You also have to consider the sexual market isn't a free market due to government intervention. Imagine if you had no welfare, no affirmative action giving women higher paying jobs and no unfair divorce and child support laws giving them unearned income. The supply of women willing to make more of an effort on their side to please men in order to get a male provider would increase and in turn more men would be interested in them. Under current conditions, though, it's not worthwhile for an average middle aged guy to invest a lot of his time to get the typical modern day middle aged American female.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-90324152227625186732014-06-13T09:46:44.445-07:002014-06-13T09:46:44.445-07:00there are always exceptions to that. my dad is sti...there are always exceptions to that. my dad is still skiing at 70 and if my sisters are correct, still gets it at least once a week from my mom. now, its never been important to me to get it regularly, but i do want to be skiing at 70 and i do believe women want the guy who is out and about over the bookreader/tv watcher.leeholsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-58682750268387012872014-06-13T09:31:51.046-07:002014-06-13T09:31:51.046-07:00Alternate title -
