Do guys often get better quality wives (looks-wise) if they wait until closer to age 40 to marry?
Not necessarily. If you've got average to below average looks, then that may be true especially if you hit the jackpot when you're older. Just remember though, if you hook up with some hot, young sexpot and you can't keep up, especially when you start approaching 50, she's going to quickly start looking elsewhere for satisfaction, married or not.
The got drugs for that these days. It should be mentioned that old guys get age Goggles where an ugly 23 year old gets hot when your 45 and in love with the idea of dating a 20something.

This list is hilarious. One of these is not like the others.
Basically this thread will never be resolved because the two sides are starting from totally different life-experiences and worldviews. On the marry young side, you have a bunch of white-bread, church going, 65k/yr making suburbanites and on the marry later side you have a bunch of highly successful, cultured, urbanites. No wonder the two sides can't understand each other.

Actually, all the guys in this thread make at least $250,000 a year and even the slow ones run under 16 minutes for a 5k (can't everyone?), so they have that much in common.

spoken like a parochial lokel yokel huckleberry.
the point is that these cities attract lots of talent from across the country, and even the world. NYC/London/Hong Kong being the prime examples. In these places it is commonplace for men in their 40-50s to marry a person 20yrs younger.
Nobody would suggest that NYV/Lnd/HK are "similar", but if you have lived/worked there, you know they are very similar.

The self-denial evident in this makes it the funniest post submitted in weeks, just not in shape or manner the author originally intended.

NYC, LA, SF, Chi, and DC are all major international cities. Atlanta is a big regional city, attracting mostly Southerners who realize that they aren't quite rednecks but couldn't hack it in a major northern city either.
Yes, their airport has many national and international flights. This doesn't make it an international city because the airport is busy due to its major hub status, not because London businessmen are all scrambling to visit Atlanta.
Yes, Atlanta is HQ for some big companies. The same is true of Cleveland, Omaha, and Indianapolis and these are not "major international cities" either.
The ED drugs don't help with sex drive and that's where the problem lies once you hit 50. An average 50yo male is not going to be able to keep up with a ripe 30yo woman whose sex drive is off the charts. They can and need to go 3-5 times/day, every day.

I think things have changed recently. There is a popular mentality among today's youth that says 30 is the new 20, or that you never have to become a grown up. Because of this, young women (and men) aren't looking for a relationship based on maturity, stability, responsibility etc., those things that an older guy might have over a younger guy. What's more important is a social life and "having fun," living in the moment. A guy might be a jobless alcoholic/stoner with no future, but he's preferable over the stable guy because he's "fun." In fact, a guy who has his sh#t together is actually seen as a threat, because his life challenges the idea that you never have to grow up. I've had situations where I was talking to a girl at a bar, told her what I did for a living (real job, stability) and they just give me this scared look like they weren't prepared or interested in talking to an adult.

what fukking planet do you live on? your sex drive at 50 is fine (I should know) and a woman's sex drive at 30 does not require 3-5x/day.

He's just telling himself that 30 year old women are horn y because he would prefer to think that his wife really wants his dic k than to face reality--he wife couldn't care less about sex with him but is hounding him for it because she really wants a baby. Distraught by this development, he has decided to pretend that 50 year old dudes aren't ho rny in order to justify the fact that he is married, going to have a kid on the way, and will never be able to become the 50-year old playboy he wishes he could be.

Apparently you don't know about the drive a Russian woman. Mine needs it at least 3 times a day. Old you would need one of those blue pills to keep up with a red woman

Dude--it isn't that they don't want stability. The woman you were talking to was just freaked because your job was the essence of middle class mediocrity. Women like stable guys, but they want I-bankers and cardiac surgeons...not accountants, engineers, or whatever boring thing it is that you do.
Did you just imply that I-banking and cardiac surgery are similar professions?
You've got to be joking...I-banking has to be about the dullest way to make a living out there, with the possible exception of being a small business book keeper.
Nonsense. I've known several cougs that absolutely demanded it from me 2-4x/day, six days a week, when I was in a relationship with them...and got good and pissed when I wasn't available.

Oh yeah? Care to psychoanalyze me?
I'm 26 and need it at least 3 times a day. I was also a late bloomer... I am fearful to see how many times a day I crave it when I am in my 30s. My old man might not be able to handle me after all.
