This has been posted at WAATGM twice before that I'm aware of:

First time

Second time

It's been plenty long enough to have it here again!

I don’t have time to fully break down this article with quotes but it is truly wild. Chock full of projection. Almost every statement is equally if not more valid if you reverse the genders. Especially if you talk about women in their 20s and 30s. I was flabbergasted reading it. Like the bit about men’s relationships overlapping and them moving straight on. I think most know this isn’t true

Anecdotal only but every partner I’ve had has left me, blindsided me and had someone else line up very quickly. Same with my brother. Granted in my case the women had been left. So maybe it is actually quite equal but let’s not pretend it’s all men doing the overlaps here. There is a reason there are so many videos there about men being blindsided by divorce

The real reason for the bias in this article is subtly snuck in there. The author is also one of these “mid life dating” women

This whole thing reminds me of the woman I posted about the other day who was complaining about the men on dating apps all being ugly when she is no looked and is at least in her 40s and going through a divorce

The only half reasonable option in that article is the red head. But read closer - she has been single since 36 after her divorce. Unlike the other divorce I don’t remember if saying he left her. Without that specificity it means she left him. And then wasted 6 more years almost certainly Chad chasing. You can tell by her looks and her height. Almost certainly a height queen and that will have torpedoed her chances. Why would an eligible man well over 6ft settle for someone in their late 30s or early 40s who has been divorced and might have kids (most of the women blended together after a while).

An old article, probably posted here before. I like how it ends in that the article states the women simply need to (gasp) actually earn a literal living:

"But Jo Hemmings says we can still take heart. Her advice is to go online frequently, make the approach, don’t rule out meeting people in real life and be as socially active as you can. ‘Knowledge is power, so get the determination to take charge,’ she says. ‘You’ve got to make the choice to be that one woman in seven. It’s tough but possible.’"

There are no (true) inspins. The vast majority of them can marry decent men, even highly above average men, if they merely put in a fraction of the effort an average young man in his 20's has to make.

At 48

Lady, you should be a grandmother at this point. Give it up, it's over.

Jane Townsend is beautiful, independent — and single.

Beautiful? Even if she were top tier for her age, she's still not 20-27 years old. Why the fuck would I sign up for, at best, 5 years of fun before it all goes to shit?

Independent? See also: "bitch"

She keeps fit, takes great care of her appearance and is looking for a man who is active, in good shape, articulate and emotionally open.

She's 48, and still wanting a top tier man. How's that plan working out cupcake?

Given her good looks

They keep trying to tell us she looks good. Men are the ones that determine that, and her results say that we disagree.

and vivacious nature

That's what they call old bitches who don't act their age.

eligible suitors must surely be beating a path to her door.

The funny thing is, that eligible men probably are. Her problem is that she thinks she's above those men.

Yet as Jane, from Sheffield, explains, it has been a struggle: ‘The men out there are delusional. I went out with a guy who lied about his age, saying he was 47 when he was 50

Lol so lying about age is delusional, but only when men do it?

who then had the gall to tell me he wanted a younger woman so he, as he put it, “could breed”.

Yes, the gall of him:

1. Knowing what he wants
2. Knowing you aren't it
3. Telling you and your three shriveled eggs outright so you don't waste your time

'After my divorce, I gave up my prime dating years

"AFTER. MY. DIVORCE." This dumb bitch managed to stick the landing, but then go over to the judges table, punch the Russian judge, give the finger to the American judge, and burn a Quran.

I wonder if she misses her husband.

expecting that when they [her two girls] left home, I’d have time left.

This bitch knows how calendars work, right?

But there has been a shift and now the men aren’t there.

Because they got married. Or, in the case of your ex, got divorced and realized that there's a whole market of ex wives that will take dick in the 4th hole just for another shot at marriage and have decided to play the field indefinitely.

Where I live it’s hard to find someone cultured unless they’re eating yoghurt,

Oh that's cool. Yeah, I hope gay men get the message soon...women do not like, value, or respect you.

and the men my age all seem to be — well — more than a little overweight.’

And you're - well - fucking old.

Having been matchmaking single men and women for Femail’s Blind Date column for the past six months, I’d like to say Jane’s experiences are the exception, — but what has struck me is just how many attractive women apply who seem to have so much going for them.

They have a lot going for them that men don't want and they earned it at the expense of trading away the things we do want. Oh well, sucks to suck, GG no RE.

Edit: this little blurb sums up the entire fucking problem:

Men need to open their eyes to the amazing women in their own age bracket.

Not "women should offer men what they want instead of telling men to accept what they get". Not "women should accept that the change in the market means they have to change their expectations." Not "you have to accept that you missed your window." Not even "Maybe don't implode your marriages, you hypergamous hussies."

No, it's the men that need to change. It's the men that are expected to abandon any and all preferences. And by men, I don't just mean anyone with a Y-chromosome... Because to those women, only the top tier of men are seen as "men". They want these men to say "I'm going to ignore the vast and abundant supply of more attractive and less damaged women and choose you, because you want - no, deserve - it."

Fuck them. Selfish whores.

I remember that article. Let’s pretend that I’m me but not married.

I’m close to the age that the matchmaker told them they should be looking (not quite 63, but getting there). Financially solvent? I own my house and cars outright. I make six figures and I am completely debt free. My annual passive income alone is tens of thousands of dollars more than my expenses. Life experience? I have an advanced degree and I’ve taught at the graduate level. I have a multi-decade track record as a fantastic husband. I’ve had a fascinating life in which I’ve done things most people only see in movies. I’ve lived in four countries on two continents, and I’ve visited about 20 countries on five continents. Physically? My abs look like a washboard, I deadlift well over twice my body weight, I’m freakishly flexible, and I have the stamina of a man half my age (IYKWIM). I don’t smoke, I rarely drink, and I don’t take drugs. Vices? I probably spend too much time on the internet, and I’m not much of a social butterfly. Baggage? Nothing of note.

I wouldn’t give any of those women a second glance. Not one of them is “beautiful” despite the writer (mis)using that word half a dozen times. Those pictures were taken by professional photographers after the women spent hours getting their hair and makeup done by professional beauticians, and they still look average at best even for their age. I shudder to think what they look like first thing in the morning.

And we haven’t even gotten to their copious baggage and their crappy attitudes. I would be stooping to spend an evening with any of them, yet every one would consider herself to be settling to be with a man my age (even though I doubt any of them could keep up with me for more than a few minutes on a hiking date). The reality is that I could be with women who are superior to them in every way, while they describe the men they can get in the most derogatory terms.

What's funny to me is without knowing their ages, in the first group pic the one on the far right was the 'best'. I use that loosely, because I wouldn't go for any of them, but the one I would pick if someone forced me to is also the youngest of the group, lol.

But no, we've been "indoctrinated" to go for younger women. Oh fuck off, you silly cunts.

One of the most classic articles ever.

It’s not that the men these women want don’t exist. But they simply are

1) already married 2) seeking younger women 3) not in the dating market 4) treating them as a P&D option only

I know a woman like this. a 38 year old Inspin. She claims that she never found someone who 'matched' up to her. She is average looking and the wrinkles are now visible. While she seems to be proud of her 'career', she has an MBA from a mediocre school and works in sales. So, it's not as big a career that she thinks it is. Was laid off during the pandemic too (lol). As ever, she claims that no man was ever 'interesting enough' for her to get married to. As usual, it is female cope, given the CEO she wants to settle down with, wouldn't give her a second look. Far too many women like these have been spawned since these creatures are celebrated simply for having a job.

They're single because they are worthless parasites and it is obvious to any man worth a damn.

Born with a vagina. Cheat code among cheat codes for being able to obtain comfortable life. Vagina, the thing that men build houses, cities, and nations and wage wars over....all to improve their chances of getting laid and having kids of their own.

Women need to understand that men aren't normally productive and successful for shits and giggles. Don't believe me? Just look at any man that has given up on women. He will produce the bare minimum for self sustainment, if that. Men don't find fulfillment in being unpaid butlers and success objects. They have to get something back that they want. But if a woman has it, they will practically beat down her door if the asking price is worth it.

So any woman that has to ask where are the good men, is basically confessing that she is worthless and a parasite. Because she was born with a massive trump card and is still managing to lose. And losing so badly that decent men are avoiding her.

The women in the article are high-key gold diggers just looking for an easy retirement fund. The problem is they aren't good looking/young enough for that strategy to work anymore within their age bracket. They're fucking ugly compared to the same version of themselves even 10 years younger and the have nothing else to offer that is an improvement over a younger version of themselves either. So if they want a man at all, they need to literally start looking in retirement homes for 70+ year old men whose dick and eyes may or may not still work.

‘I was devastated, of course, but I made the decision to keep on living my life. I lost weight, started getting into sport and now I look and feel the best I’ve ever been.

women can smell men is insecure, man can smell there is no eggs left, he can be attracted to shape, but might not get up as his brain is telling him: don't waste your seed mate; his sperm buddy is telling him: don't send me there, I beg you, at the end of that tunnel, there is a cold chamber, it is empty, sad and scary, and 10% of my life I will spend there on my own

‘Men my age are all up for a pipe and slippers life, and I’m not,’ she says. ‘When I got married my husband was six years older than me, but I wouldn’t take that age gap now because men aged 52 to 60 are boring. They just don’t have any oomph in them. ‘Once they get past 48 they seem to turn into Victor Meldrew, yet women are making an effort and looking great.

Yeah I agree it is sad that they didn't manage to get wife googles to this point and when they are looking at intertitle women they have no biological drive to please them anymore. Try to mate him with your daughter just for a trial to see is he really with no life left ot it is you.

Should middle-aged women just forget men of their own age and date younger ones? Some argue that this is the way forward.

They should. They have never cared about any men anyway, so they can as well be slurping semen from table top, being used till the end of the days.

‘Younger men are drawn to older women as much as older men are drawn to younger women. And this is not a new phenomenon,’ says Suzie Parkus. ‘They are drawn to the confidence and life experience of older women, especially those who don’t look their age.

Men are drawn to fertile beautiful chicks. Young men are aiming for easy lay and no fuss slut.

Very few men are happy to be by themselves, too. They lurch from one relationship to another, whereas middle-aged women are a lot stronger and more self-assured than they were in the last generation

Yep we are not exactly happy, yet we are still throwing bad deal under the bus, after being served few times in disposable relationship. More often then not it means we were not positively surprised by woman being pleasant to be around, since her empty cold chamber can't provide anything else.

‘I prefer younger men now because they are fun, whereas the older ones are boring,’ she says. ‘It’s not even an aesthetic thing but a character thing. I can’t stand the fact that older men really don’t know how to support themselves.

yes you do. You know that all you are for him is fun cum-dumpster, so for a month you are trying your best not to be nagging bitch, no to scare him away, then it comes the real date, where you show your ugly face and character from first minutes. You have never trained yourself for relationship, you have no clue how to act to make it happen. Start to play a guitar and at the same time take a relationship training - once you will be able to play Santana's - Smooth, you will be ready for both :)

‘I think women have been raised to believe they are winning an amazing prize to get a man, who then has a sense of entitlement — so he puts in no effort whatsoever and always thinks he can get better.’

here we go, she knows, she is just cum dumpster, but can't call it what it really is.

Yet for many women, dating a much younger man still comes with too much baggage

we'are not interested how much baggage you get from 300 notches, we are interested how much of this baggage you bring on first date, surely the bigger baggage you have, the harder it is to seat at a small table, while all those ghosts of yours are trying to join

‘I’m called a cougar — which makes me out to be predatory — yet it’s perfectly acceptable for men to go out with Barbies half their age.’

instead of shaming of men, focus on not being cum-dumpster, this is modern meaning of cougar

meh, all sentences in this thing could be commented on

Biology is real and a harsh bitch. The realities is that a woman has a fertility window and with fertility window is when men find them the most attractive. When that fertility expires, it's GONE! There is no denying this biological fact. That begs the question: what did you do with the last 30 years of your life??????

30 years is a VERY LONG TIME

Projection at it's finest. Have another sip of wine, dear. Can I offer you another cat?
