I heard on a radio show today that Women are being lied to when they're told they're still attractive in their 30's and 40's and that it's pretty much over for us because men only want women 17-27 and if you havn't met the man you're going to marry by then you're pretty much in trouble. I've always known they like them younger, but aren't these figures just a little extreme? I'd like to think at 32 that I still have a shot at happiness and that I'm not going to go through life having to hear this kind of crap spouted to my repeatedly by people that claim they love me, but the fact remains my mailbox goes empty for days on more than a few dating sites.
I know where your coming from. My home town is very conservative and backwards. If your a girl, 25 or older, and not marred or have kids then you must be gay. Thats how they think. But I think that is tied in with their backwards sexist views of women.
