To be annoyed at this comment

[Boobas]

I was speaking to a MALE colleague today who said he wouldn’t date a woman past 33 as their looks decline. I was furious but I didn’t say anything, some of the most beautiful women I know are much older than that, he was early thirties himself, what a pig!

You know what I mean!

At about 33 I started noticing I was aging and not looking quite as good as before. Not bang on 33 and as I say, there are nice looking older women about. BUT, I'd be living in cloud cuckoo land to think I'm as physcially attractive to men now I'm 37 as I was at 24.

And of course, an aging man with a beer belly on a dating site wouldn't get a look in with me either. No point getting upset about it.

I think reporting him to HR as another poster said is total overkill and 🙄

Maybe I'm just short sighted!
I just looked at a photo of me 11 years ago and I look better now at 38 than I do at 27. Genuinely

It's quite evident that we wouldn't touch him to scratch him 😆. Men have deluded minds, thinking their on par with Tom Hardy when in reality they're more like Benny Hill

It wouldn't bother me.
Each to their own.

Couldn't get worked up about this! When I was 18 I thought men in their 30s looked so old!! In my 30s I think how will I ever fancy a 60yo but obviously your tastes mature with age OR men say they can't date anyone older than x and get away with it if they're good looking enough or have a shining personality or lots of money

Why are you so annoyed at this man's opinion and preference? He's perfectly entitled to them

Because he's MALE clearly 😆

Next time say " you better make sure you're rich then, as the equivalent shallow younger women only go for shallow older men who are way past their best if they're rich" or similar.....

On here a man with a preference is sad, creepy, a joke, shallow, to be laughed at (or reported to HR!)

a woman with a preference is supported, encouraged, is perfectly fine.

People can be attracted to who they want. I would have just laughed at him, because it doesn’t sound like he’s going to be very successful!

I would just think it was a rather odd statement to make, and think no more of it. It is his opinion, and would not have any impact on my life.

Honestly, what does it matter?

One less man you wouldn’t go near anyway, out of the dating pool.

Sorry, but dating isn’t, and never should be, an equal opportunities exercise.

People are completely entitled to reject potential partners for whatever reason they wish - and it does not matter how shallow other people might think those reasons.

I would never date someone very overweight. I wouldn’t get serious with someone in a dead-end job. I wouldn’t date someone with serious mental health issues. That will make me the devil incarnate, not only to many men, but to many MNers, as well.

Too bad - don’t care.

It’s my life, my preferences, my long-term wellbeing that matters to me. Those are the things I will unashamedly prioritise, and if it hurts the feelings of someone wholly unconnected with me, so be it.

The only people affected by someone limiting their dating pool are we - the individuals - limiting (or, as I prefer to think of it - carefully selecting) our dating pool.

🙌🏻🙌🏻 hoooray for common sense.

Completely agree with the above. How many women on here have said ‘I’d never date a man with children’. They can’t go back in time to a place where they don’t have children, same as we can go back to a time we are late 20s!!

I ignore most of mens’ remarks because they just chat shit

in real life hed be happy with anything he’s given and just wants to seem like he chooses

Many men are champion bullshitters let’s never delve into their minds hahah

Well of course women who are 33+ aren't as attractive as women in their 20s, but neither are men. Everyone gets less attractive as they age and it normally starts at 30.

However, I don't know why men think they can continue to age whilst only ever dating 25 year olds. Unless they're rich and have status they're going to be bitterly disappointed.
