It's just a cute fluff piece and here it has to become an opportunity imply women are golddiggers and that a woman's value is tied to her ability to produce offspring.


No one was implying here that women are golddiggers, you delusional too.

Imagine a 70 year old male virgin in the same situation: Lived with his mother until she died at age 97 and is now looking for a young, blond and curvy woman who is an excellent cook. Just imagine the outrage. People's opinions would range from "dirty old man" and "sexist pig" to "what a freaking loser".

She didn't express a desire for youth, which is the squicky part of your ex.

That's also because 70-year-old virgin women are much less common than 70-year-old virgin men.
I think I've met several elderly men who had never had sex, and several well on their way there.

Keep in mind, DogsWithoutHorses, that a tall, handsome man to a woman is what a young, cute woman is to a man.

Desire for youth is the stereotypical wants of a man, as money is the stereotypical want of a woman.

Um no, a young hot man is to a woman what a young hot woman is to a man. Women are visual too. It's not unreasonable for her to go after a tall handsome man her own age, It's a little unreasonable in just my opinion for old men to chase barely legal skirt.

Regardless of the accuracy of stereotypes, desire for money isn't the same as desire for youth.

No, she "only" wanted a tall, dark and handsome guy, and a millionaire to boot :) My example was the male equivalent of her sexual preference. "Handsome" and "young and curvy" are pretty much interchangeable in this case.

I could have written "handsome" instead of "young and curvy", but that's pretty much the same when it comes to women. Another way of putting it would be "well within the reproductive age range and with a pelvic width that indicates ideal childbearing abilities".


No, the male equivalent would be preference for an age appropriate, attractive, wealthy woman.

Um no, a young hot man is to a woman what a young hot woman is to a man.


Guys her age are not that tall, which is one thing she specifies. It certainly seems she's looking for someone younger.
And where men go after young women, women go after men with status and money.

And that's exactly the deal - age appropriate, for a lot of men, means younger. Wealth doesn't matter that much. Physical attraction does, but that's usually linked to age.

Both is very reasonable from a biological perspective. Ageing men don't lose their ability to procreate, and increased wealth / social status might turn elderly men into more attractive partners than their younger competitors. Women, on the other hand, have a limited reproductive lifespan, and have an increasingly smaller chance to birth healthy offspring towards the end of their reproductive window. It therefore makes sense that men feel attracted to relatively young women throughout their entire life.

most of them are not that short either. they don't lose a foot of height with age.

women are able to have children until they are about 50. their eggs get old, but men are no better off as the quality of their sperm declines with age too.

most women don't consider wealth as a major factor in dating because they make their own money. and for most of human prehistory men didn't have any advantage in terms of resources. so from a biological perspective money is most likely irrelevant.

There were resource advantages, obviously. Who could eat the best part of the wild boar they just killed? Who got the prettiest beads, the nicest axe?
Decline of quality in their sperm means a younger woman might make up for some of the damage.

That. I'm pretty sure was saying it jokingly.
