Single women over 30

[mistahclarke]

For every beautiful woman in the world, there's likely someone who has been fed up with her at some point.

I wouldn't go out with the sort of girl that would go out with me

If you want to take an evolutionary psychology point of view, the only reason to be "in a relationship" is to come together to breed, or because you need someone to help look after the products of your breeding.

The rest is just romantic bollocks.

I have a theory about stunning women and the men they chose. I reckon that most will go for a man who is lower down the scale than they are in the looks department. This is for several reasons, firstly he will think he is lucky to have such a beautiful woman, will treat her like a princess and is unlikely to treat her badly or cheat on her because she is a bit of a trophy. On the other hand she gets treated like a princess, only has to click her fingers and her every whim is satisfied. She has a bloke who is never going to cheat on her, he will want to show her off at every opportunity which is a bit of an ego boost for her...everyone is happy!

Good thread, hopefully it can carry on to keep me entertained at work tomorrow.

A Female Professor over here researched a paper on a similar subject question. It's not that they are mental it's down to what the Prof reffered to as "pairing up".

Basically it means a lot of these women are in well paid positions but still want to be paired up with guys who earn more than they do.

The problem is that the amount of these women is on the rise and the amount of men who meet their criteria is signifigantly lower than that of the women searching.

As part of the segment on the tv the Prof asked a group of about 6 of these 30+ women why they were single and they raised the "there's no decent men around" arguement. The Prof then proceeeded to tell them that that is rubbish and that it's not the guys who are the issue it's the women with their unrealistic expectations of men who were.

I could pitch in here but I'd just complicate the issue.

Anyone who even contemplates marriage is mental. Single women over 30 = the only sane women over 30. Bring 'em on...

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I'd be interested in your views.

My mate is the last single (although newly) lad in our group, now heading towards his mid 30's we were discussing his options in terms of next relationship.

Realistically his age range is 25 -40.

My point, and one that was discussed at great length is that any woman over 30 and not tied down (or at least divorced) is obviously a little bit mental and he should steer clear - she is single for a reason and that is usually that she is a sandwich short of a picnic - and not in a good way.

Now the argument could also be said for him, being a single lad in his mid 30's.

Discuss.

Bollocks my wife was 31 when we met... she was divorced and there's nothing wrong with her!





























Did I just say that?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

No rational explanation but I had a theory it was always best to only avoid those single women over 30 who also owned a cat (more so if they owned more than one!)

or a dog....... its probably bollocks but when I was a kid there was an old lady spinster who had a flat full of cats who was completely off her rocker... has always made me suspicious.

Personally love cats and find dogs stupid (oh-oh can of worms!)

if she has a cat beware badger or beaver go for it! Both marry her quickly

How does this explain footballers then - they go out with some stunning women but normally end up cheating on them.

The evident ease with which you appear to have lumped together 50% of the entire population into one lazy stereotype speaks a thousand words. Personally, if I met a bloke who thought like that, all it says to me is that he's short sighted enough to attribute his lack of success with the opposite sex to some all-encompassing female genetic flaw, rather than examining his own deficiencies.

I don't expect anyone to provide for me, I look after myself quite easily enough, thanks.

If you READ my thread instead of going off on one you will see I said nothing derogatory to Women infact the opposite. Women provide for themselves now and good for them but centuries and centuries of hardwiring of the brain and the roles of the sexes and women even if its only subconsciously will look for a man who can provide, it is essential to them and their possible offspring. Look at any dating sites and it is a tick box of wants and desires that women expect. I don't think Men think the same way.

Thats basically what I said but in a more intelligent way, Tyrone.

Three pages on this and only Lush has mentioned a BIG factor in post-30 relationships and that's children. The fact that someone is single at 30, 35 or whatever doesn't mean that there's necessarily something wrong with him or her but a previous relationship has broken up because of incompatibility over kids.

I know of four couples who split up because the bloke wanted kids and the woman didn't (and I'm sure there are cases where the reverse is true) - just because someone wants kids or doesn't want kids, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with that person, it's just important to be compatible.

Thats because if a man can cheat, he will. I don't think its so much a case of women being mental over a certain age but I do think most women are heavily over influenced by advertising, tv and films, other women and a myriad of other sources to expect too much from a bloke. The different criteria and wish list of most over 30 women who are single is just ridiculous whereas blokes on the other hand are much more simple and generally go for 'is she fit' and 'will i get laid'. I can't ever remember going out with a girl because she made me laugh or because we had a great discussion, great qualities that they are to have though.

 

[Jonno]

I didn't know Edna was a woman.

 

[Fungus]

I have never wanted to be in control in any way, emotional or financial it's to much like hard work.

And it's all your fault when something goes wrong..

Spot on.
