This thread is reminding me that "high value male/man" is maybe the cringiest phrase i've ever heard.

Especially juxtaposed against the same conversation that casually talked about the declining value of women with age.

I think in a lot of ways our value has actually increased for both genders. I'm quite a bit more mature now than I was ten years ago. Finances in far better shape, much more stability with my career and definitely happier overall. No doubt a lot of women my age are better off now also than they were a decade ago.

I do okay these days, definitely not broke, but a lot of women my age make more than I do in my city. The old paradigm of the man making all or most of the money is no longer true for a lot of us anymore.
It is true for all or most of us, just not you.

Doesn't that contradict the "never married" part.

Okay, so there are 4 posters that are parroting each other on the same stuff, saying that these are facts, and biology, and woman at 35 is basically SOL on getting a valuable partner..then following it up with "we are telling you this out of love" behavior.

If your team's argument was compelling! OMG WE ALL BELIEVE YOU GOSH, US UNMARRIED WOMEN, MUST LOWER OUR STANDARDS AND ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT COMES OUR WAY and the married (or very very recently divorced) women should cling to their man, regardless of his behavior and praising his every move, such as hanging out with his own children, then someone in a position such as Nervy, who has openly admitted that she is in the process of divorce and probably a year out from dating, would rightfully look at this thread and feel woe. Woe that if you are right, she is fooked and even if y'all are wrong, y'all exist and are out there in the dating pool.

Knowing that if I were single again and I could end up on a date with someone with your mindset, is actually pretty dreadful.
Reading comprehension, you suck at it.

You have built up this image of this person in your mind that has her being the end all be all to your relationship needs and that isn't necessarily the case. This image is based off of one date a decade ago. Be prepared for reality to be completely different than this image in your mind.

This is quite possible. It would just bother me for the rest of my life if I didn't go back and see what that reality is today.


Hey, good luck here. It could happen.

I was just in a waiting room this week and listening to some old couple (95 and 94) who met back up later in life after both their first marriages failed and they've been married now for 42 years. They got into random conversation with another old person and all started talking about life.



my mom married her high school sweetheart a few years ago after they reconnected on Facebook. His wife died, my dad died and now they're together. I think old people just don't want to die alone. Cowards, all of them.

also thank you staff for the vacation, I am well rested now and ready to resume shhtposting.


Plot Twist. Your "new step-dad" was actually your biological father!

I don't know how anyone could read what has been posted on this thread and not takeaway that many of the men posting have made it absolutely clear that the generalized heterosexual male population believes that a woman's value declines as a potential mate after the age of 35. That is what they have repeatedly stated.

Perhaps her reading comprehension does not suck. Perhaps you are unable to have the same reading experience and takeaways as we do when we read something like that because you're not a ~35 year old woman.

I have a lot of trouble agreeing with that opinion here. I think many of us in our late 30s are better now and have more to offer than we ever did. This applies to both genders.

I'd be careful who you tell this to or else you might be labeled one of those libtard men who sees women as more than an object.

He just sucks at flirting.

That was him asking you out since you are both in Denver.

Well I can't date an object or have a future with one.

And if you want to pivot my opinion into asking her out, I'm down for that too.

Not that it was likely to happen anyways, but I gotta think that recounting your night with the last chick anytime a female was mentioned on this site isn't going to help your chances of scoring a date on here.

Married 32 years and I also met my wife on the A&M campus, in American Literature at the Blocker building. It was a whirlwind romance culminating in a surprise pregnancy, a Summer apart so we could determine whether were in love enough to be married, a surprise proposal at the LSU yell practice, and an engagement ring under the Century Oak.

Blocker truly was the T&A building for me.
