I'm finding myself really distressed lately. My last boyfriend who was only 3 years younger than me accused me of being too old in spite of the fact that I look years younger than him. 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.

At 32, you still have a great chance of finding men who would be happy to date you.

Take it from me, the older you get, the worse it gets rolling on the floor laughing

Older men want to date younger women. Younger men want younger women or women their age.

Nonsense. Your last boyfriend is just confused. I dig women in their 40's, 30's and 20's. I see no differences, only beauty....I won't mention what else I seewink devil Gosh I'm really bad.

To be honest, I like women in their mid 30's the most.

Jesus, do you really believe that? My god you must have been mixing with some people more shallow than a scrape in the ground.

Don't let other people adversely affect your life or talk to you in such a way.Basically people like that are vermin and stay well clear of them.

Proof indeed the world has gone mad when 32 is considered over the hill.
