I answered not because it was about me, specifically, but because you've lumped me in that category before, so I'm one example. TDK, you want respect for your experiences as a BM. They're your experiences, they are your truth. But often, you have no respect for the experiences, the reality of others. You are so convinced that you're right, that you refuse to open yourself to someone else's truth, unless you feel something favorable towards them.
And btw, if I and other women my age are so far past our prime, why do we get attention by the droves, from men your age?? I would say more than half the men that approach me are in their early to mid 30's. I'm not interested in much younger men. I want the guy whose kids are grown, who shaves his head because he's going bald, he has a little belly on him, holds old school values and has tons of life experience.
As for not being attracted to WM any longer almost every BM I've dated has been in the same position. Dated BW to appease family or because that's what he knew or all he had opportunity to date. But circumstances later in life allowed him to make other dating choices. That's cool for him, but not women like me? I used to drink plain tea. That's what was available, that's what I knew. Now there's a whole cornucopia of teas and flavors out there. Chai tea is my favorite. Spicy, exciting, rich, full of flavor intoxicating aroma.... Makes plain tea seem boring and tasteless. Kinda like my dating experience. Can you understand the positive innuendo in that example? It's a compliment.
Grow up, TDK. Please. Get your head out your ass and stop projecting your prejudice on everyone else.
