#3 I'd guess she's not as desirable as she thinks she is - perhaps she should re-evaluate attitude as an important attribute.

#4 She's not looking for love - she's looking for a service department that will cater to her every need.

#5 At 48... ‘It’s just a fact that there is a lack of available decent men,’

It's call competition. So many have already been taken and kept by decent women.

looking for a man who is active, in good shape, articulate and emotionally open.

BTW, are you willing to date a man 4 inches shorter than you? Someone with a decent income but not great? A tradesman? Nah, didn't think so. Those are some of the real unspoken standards that shrink your available pool of potentials. As he says Maf is hard.

#10 I have often found that when you have a significant problem, all you need to do is look in the mirror. You will see the problem staring you back in the face.

#11 Where have all the good men gone? At that age, we're happily married for decades, and not looking for some bitter, dried up old clam.

#12 and now the men aren’t there.

They're there - some are just hiding, and others (like me) have checked out permanently.

#13 Sorta like the old question; Why do men die before their wife?

They want to...

#14 The entire article reads like a substandard recipe for haggis.

Hey gals, don't go to Jo for advice.

#16 #12 yes. The industrialized western world is this way these days. Men have not changed. Women have changed as any feminist will tell you and the result is they are alone. It is a far calmer life for a man alone. One example is the hand held devices or ear phones. Preoccupied and a warning to not disturb. Even if they aren't talking to anyone. These women are just as dissatisfied with women mates. I should say the women my age are in bad shape. Why I don't know. Perhaps hard living. They no longer live longer than men. Welcome to the new way of life. The man cave is looking pretty good right now.
