"I think that generally, men age much better than women"
As a woman in her 50's on the dating scene, they might seem like they do but a lot are grumpy bitter old men, set in their ways, out of date much more so than women. Men in my age group tend to think they are staying young by mixing with younger men, but that can make them even more unappealing. Women tend to stay more socially active, involved with grandchildren etc, which keeps them more healthily in touch.
Younger women certainly don't want older men, in the way that younger men want older women.
I had countless nights out ruined by the 'chatting up'. I've had street harassment, minor sexual assaults. For every bit of flirting, there's always the creepy/aggressive ones.
We've got to stop wanting validation from men and putting them in charge. I watch my DD's get harassed and inappropriate behaviour aimed at them and wonder why we were ever taught that this is something that we should want.
My 30's were my best times. There's a few dryness issues now because of the menopause, I miss how I was, but I've realised that men aren't fussy creatures and are happy to go with what gets them sex. We are more than our bodies.
