I meant 'single women older than 28 +/- 3 (1SD) almost invariably seem quite bitter towards men. I told a friend (31) of this observation. She replied "No we don't. F--- you, you b**tard", and stalked off. I guess she put me in my place. -wolfe @Z yep, I got that you were speaking tongue in cheek!

I posted on here explining the 'random/BIZ' situation but apparently those posts were flagged by the spam filter and are still awaiting the admin's approval, or whatever it said. Like I said before, I've been having trouble posting on here. My internet's been dicky for a fair while though. Yes wolfe I should have signed those posts.

Men my age are dating women in their 20s, if they can manage it. I suppose that's to avoid women who are suffering from extreme bitterness about men. However, judging from the presumed age of some of the female posters on MABTW, I think you'd have to rob the cradle - literally - to find someone of either sex who isn't bitter about past relationships. My (purely personal) observation is that men are more inclined to subscribe to the "baby out with the bathwater" method of dealing with conflict rather than talking through issues. Then again, my track record in choosing a mate is abysmal. ~Z~ My tongue was firmly in cheek when I referred to my great, advanced age - I was speaking as a man might in my age group.

On the rest? Seriously, women 28+ (+/- 3 1SD) almost always have some extreme bitterness about men. I've noticed this. I used to only date women older than I -- not because of any particular desire on my part because they simply were my peergroup (I'd graduated earlier, achieved a lot, etc).

The former makes it nearly impossible to have a conversation without them dredging up past experiences and attributing overwhelmingly negative characteristics to their present companion. This also has the dampening effect of making dates feel like a forced march through a minefield. The latter includes much more than physical attractiveness ~ it gives them carte blanche to forget common courtesy and manners. It also encourages them to seek out the company of women many years younger than they. I've dated younger men, but men in their 30s seem to be afflicted with the syndrome that women of my vintage suffered in our 20s; they want to get married and have babies. So, what duck am I? Perhaps a muscovy. The females are small, they perch in trees (very unduck-ish), they're personable and intelligent (for a duck, I guess), not especially attractive, and they make good mothers.
