Author MissJoness Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 I would say 24. She's 28. I think she might be turning 29 this year.
CaliGuy Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Why should you make excuses for it? Men rule the world and women are secondary citizens..still in this day and age there is a huge truth to that. I disagree. I have no issues with what you are saying but I really hate when men pull the old "I'm a guy" and think it makes them look cute. Being a guy isn't excuse enough for anything. Sorry. I'm not making an excuse for anything nor am I apologizing for being a guy. I yam what I yam
HeadlessZebra Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'm not making an excuse for anything nor am I apologizing for being a guy. I yam what I yam CaliGuy is OK by me. Maybe that's because I tolerate men's "isms" better than most. Gals, the day you learn to stop fighting men's general nature (barring gross dysfunction) and cultivate an affinity/understanding for it, you will be much happier, less bitter and will find much more satisfaction in relationships - romantic or platonic. Men should take the same approach with us. We're a bit different, yeah, but then, isn't it that same dichotomy which catalyzes the glorious spiral dance of the male+female dynamic?
Isolde Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'm a big believer in appreciating gender differences, but we oughtn't allow that to spiral into a dynamic where double standards occur.
Isolde Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Oh, obviously not talking about CaliGuy here, I just meant in general. On this board, I see picky women being criticized even more than picky men, and it's irritating.
HeadlessZebra Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I'm a big believer in appreciating gender differences, but we oughtn't allow that to spiral into a dynamic where double standards occur. No, I'm DEFINITELY the first to speak out against double standards of any type. So I'm with you there, sister.
CaliGuy Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 How old does this girl look? Fantastic. You don't think so?
tkgirl Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 nothing wrong with looking 30 at all! but in two days I'll be... gulp... 44!!! and I happen to LOVE it when I'm told I look a lot younger! The longer I can stay looking young, the better...
RichGuyy Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 How old does this girl look? Instant guess: 27. What's her real age?

clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, I saw that episode of 20/20 too. Bahahahaha. Again, I repeat, men also are aging and women no longer have to settle for older mates. There are numerous findings on the male's aging body and contribuation to issues that arrise in their children. Ha. And yet the older a man gets the more likely he is to marry younger, and the disparity increases with age. As for the 'contribution to issues', the one widely repeated study found a difference that could best be described as barely detectable from a statistical standpoint.
clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 If a man doesn't want to "settle" for a 40 year old, then why should a woman? They should both get the best they can. Of course.
clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 How old does this girl look? 30 with a terrible boob job.
tami-chan Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 That's a terrible boob job? <gives up, what do men really want???????>
clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 That's a terrible boob job? <gives up, what do men really want???????> She's a pretty woman and would look better if she wasn't packing a pair of water balloons in her see through blouse. The fact they LOOK fake is what makes them bad. But if you google for good natural boobs you end up with a bunch of dairy animals so apparently my tastes are not typical.
Jersey Shortie Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I'm a big believer in appreciating gender differences, but we oughtn't allow that to spiral into a dynamic where double standards occur. I completely agree. There is a big difference in appreciating gender differences and each gender realizing that they have the ability to hurt or be hurt and not taking advantage of the other gender just because they can. Ha. And yet the older a man gets the more likely he is to marry younger, and the disparity increases with age. As for the 'contribution to issues', the one widely repeated study found a difference that could best be described as barely detectable from a statistical standpoint That's completely false and I think you need to read up on your own body and what happens to men and their sperm as they age. But you don't want to be realistic so why don't I just tell you what you and clearly many other men want to hear: You are just plain better then women. Period. And deserve a life time of selfullfillment at the expense of women. Okay? Better? That is what you want so that should appease you and get you off my back. I digress though, I will agree that back in the day women probably did marry olde rmen more often. But in this day and age women don't have to settle for older men anymore and are picking men based on many other factors, including looking at their age as a positive of negative. There are also studies on that. They should both get the best they can. Of course. 40 year old man for a 20 something girl is not going to be considered "the best". *shrug*. That's a terrible boob job? <gives up, what do men really want???????> They want women that worship them without them acutally having to do anything. They want women that act like pornstars even if it's at her expense and not true to who she is as an indivdual. And clearly by some, they want women that never age. Hence the reason perhaps men should attempt having relationships with porn videos instead of real women. We clearly are more work and men clearly don't like that.
HeadlessZebra Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 The older a man gets the more likely he is to marry younger, and the disparity increases with age. Actually, I read that study too. It's true. Sorry, Jersey Shortie.
Jersey Shortie Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 There are a million studies that showcase every point and side. There are also studies as I previous said that women pick men based on different factors then they did years ago. Women don't need to rely on men for money. The fact that we make our own has changed the way women evulate partners. In my life experience I know more people that are with other people their age. The one friend of mine that dated an older man is now divorced from him due to the age different, her words exactly. I am not saying woman never like older men. What I am saying is that it is not how CLV likes to promote it as.
Gemini09 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I notice alot of posters who are in their late 20s, early 30s are saying that they look much younger than they are; like around 18-25 yrs old. Some of it sounds like bragging. But really, what is wrong with looking like you're 30? Does a woman who is 30, and happens to look 30 a bad thing? Thirty years old is not exactly ancient. Unless you are 30, and look way older, I don't see the issue. If someone makes the statement they look younger than their age, that doesn't mean they are bragging necessarily. I have to say it does make you feel better to look younger than your age. I would rather be told that, than I look much older.
clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 There are a million studies that showcase every point and side. There are also studies as I previous said that women pick men based on different factors then they did years ago. Those would be "what the respondents said" surveys. The studies I looked at were done in the UK and were simple marriage license data mining. If you want to know who is actually marrying whom, that seems like a really good source. The data sets were from 1996 and 2005 IIRC. "Women pick men" is fuzzy, but the parties to a public marriage contract ... well that's a pretty factual basis for who is getting married to what. BTW, it was just 3 data sets (one study was 2005 vs 1950 or something, the other was just the 1990s) but the data was internally consistent and seemed to show a trend of older men marrying younger and younger women. No explanation for this was given.
clv0116 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 40 year old man for a 20 something girl is not going to be considered "the best". *shrug*. That's a non-response really. Considered by? Why would the young woman do worse for herself than she could? I contend that in most cases people get the best they can for themselves; some people are just better than others.
CaliGuy Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Was just at the grocery store earlier today. The "bagger" girl actually asked for my number. I was flattered, but that crappy "Winger" song was going through my head (as was the thought of jail time! haha). Cute, she was. Too young, she was. Still, I was flattered
Jersey Shortie Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Not sure what the "winger" song and really I don't even want to know. I don't need to see any more bad in men then I already do, but the fact that you mentioned Jail is gross. Why would you be flattered that someone undersage asked for your number? Because you think it means you aren't aging like everyone else?

And the song is "17".... lol. And no, she didn't get my number. Sheesh Jersey, give the 'old man' some credit. muah!
