He's also 6'2", cut, arguably the most knowledgeable person in our program, and a great guy but since he is in his 20's, I guess he's not worth the time of day of 30 something woman.
I'm sorry, but I measure people based on their success in life, whether they are old or young. A 40 year old guy that didn't do college, is fat, lazy, and works at a job that requires no education nor special skills doesn't gain a lot of my respect.
Conversely, the 25 year old that has two bachelors in nuclear engineering and French language (well-rounded), competed in D-1 track and ran 14:30 for the 5K, and volunteers in his free time at church garners more of my respect.
Experience is fine, but some people are more devoted, talented, and just better at life than others. Now if you compare the 40 year old version of this successful guy with him at 25, yes, I give you that. But if I were a 30 year old woman, I would probably rather go out with the 25 year old perfect guy than some loser 40 year old typical person.

Grasshopper, she didn't say a male in his 20s couldn't look good physically, be smart and be a "great guy". Huge difference in having those characteristics and understanding women in their 30s and older.
Get back to us in 10 years and tell us how little you and your 20-something buddies really knew about women. I know you don't like it, but 99.9% of guys in their 20s do not have enough emotional, spiritual, intellectual and sexual experience to understand what truly makes women tick, particularly 30-something women and up. I sure didn't.
Granted, none of us men at any age will likely ever figure out women completely (I'm still working on it!). But there is no substitute for simply living life, going through struggles, raising kids, having your heart broken, breaking another's heart, experiencing success and failure - and the wisdom and emotional maturity that comes with all of that.
I don't mean to condescend. We were all young once. And I'm not saying I or any older guys have it all figured out. But you'll get what I'm saying a few years down the road.
