Men are only really nice up until about 25

I remember my friend saying this to me when we were in our late twenties, years ago.
I’m now mid 40’s and kind of see what she meant
Is there something wrong with me in that I don’t seem to be seeing men in the same way anymore? I used to love men’s company, even though I’m a girls girl/woman’s woman, whatever you call it, I often found men better company in some ways..but now, I can’t help wondering what most of them are probably like deep down..the porn they probably watch or the way they may secretly view women etc
Is this a mid 40’s thing?

Alan Clark said it! Women over 25 are past it. That was in the 1980s and variants everything since.

So @IAmTheWalrus85 and @LexMitior how did you feel when you read that? Did you think it was fair or right?

Assuming that you were annoyed and thought it misogynistic and obnoxious, presumably you agree that the OP is also annoying, misandrist and obnoxious? And if you don't, why?

I don't agree with the OP!

How can you write people off by a certain age, let alone a whole sex.

I mean, why not say men are only nice until 27? Or women are only acceptable until 23 years old when the moon is rising?
