From my own personal experience I can say there's a lot of truth to this article. I live in NYC and in my early twenties attractive girls my age were hard to come by. Most were taken by older men, muscle guys or rich kids. I'm approaching thirty and all of sudden I'm getting a lot more attention from women of all ages. The younger girls either want a stable guy "who can help them grow" or a guy with money who knows how to have sex, while the older women are looking for a chair to sit on before the music stops. I'm married now so it doesn't mean much, but the thought is still there: "where were you girls nine years ago?"
- return0 13y agoI wonder if we are the first generation to come to this observation, as it seems to be a common observation across the board.
- boh 13y agoWe're the first generation to express this observation on a global communication network.The truth is finally available to the masses!
- PeterisP 13y agoThe dynamic was different a couple generations ago - I believe that in 1950ies you could make such an observation only about a number of unlucky outliers and joke about spinsters or such; but this article and discussion is about a mass trend happening on a much larger scale.
