    Question I would love to be 27 and know what I know at 46 --

    I just spotted this post in the "How old r u bb" thread and I'd like to know what this means. A lot of older women say this in different variations and I would be interested to hear others chime in and elaborate on this. I may be asking something obvious, but Im just curious to know if by saying this you mean taking control of your finances, more knowledge of men, etc. etc. Thank you

    how old r u bb, what does this mean? I assume it means that older women look back and think what they will do differently.

    Ok I am 41 and will state that if I knew how things would be I would have done things differently. With regards to men I wouldn't have chased the wrong guys. I really was wacko with guys I liked, buying them gifts, calling, etc not realizing they had no interest in me. I would have instead taken a chance on less attractive guys. Not ugly men, just maybe not the wealthy hot men I really wanted. I also wish I had realized then that I really wanted marriage because I would have had many choices. Now I don't have as many choices and there may come a time where my choice is between marrying a man with issues I despise (with kids for example or obese)or not marrying at all. I haven't hit that yet and I am still finding good men my age so I'm not worried. However, I am dating now so I don't end up 45 or 50 and still single (and likely to stay that way).

    Ironically, I was thinking something similar last week. I was hoping there was a ''do over'' on life where you had your learning experiences from this life. We would know what to say, what not to. Would know what to do and what not to do. Friends to have and who to keep at a distance. How to raise the child better. I could go on and on with examples. Then I thought, looking at the way the world is at times......do I want to be around for a repeat??? Yet, if lots of people were repeating....then maybe the world would be better with lots of us having learned. Such a vicious circle....sigh !!!!

    edit: sorry, didnt realize OP was asking the ladies, leaving comment anyway !!!

    I don't know why the OP's question would be gender specific but it is.

    Yeah...this isnt a gender specific thing. It just means that you have exponentially more KNOWLEDGE about almost everything in your 40s than you do when you are in your 20s. Relationships, how the world in general works, etc... Nothing to do with intelligence, just more knowledge that comes from experience.

    But part of who I am today is a result of the mistakes I made when I was younger(and what I learned from them). People that just keep making the same mistakes over and over arent really taking advantage of this experience.

    The quote is referring to having this additional knowledge while still being at your physical peak.

    I laugh at how I thought I knew everything as a teenager & in my 20s. And so will you.

    Nope, I usually hear this from women who were power/money hungry in their earlier years spouting that they didn't need a man and didn't want kids, etc etc.

    Then one day they wake up and realize they are 45 and no longer getting the attention from men they once got when they were younger.

    I hear about this all the time.

    I never heard a sister complaining that she missed out on an opportunity to buy a house, a car, or some jewellery. They always lamented that they were afraid they'd die with nobody by their side.

    I would have taken more risks professionally when I was in my early-mid 20s. I would have tried to start a business at that age.

    What is obvious is that a woman has a very limited time to display her superiority in the reproduction of the human race,this is done at a young age by displaying her sexuality (thin looking and fertile) to attract a male who will stay witwill have the abil h her long term. What seems to missing by women on this forum is that you are missing the point that we as men are not attracted to women who are in their declining cycles----equals lack of physical attractiveness (well Im 41 now so I will chose you) huh. Ladies you can have some fun short term (he gave me a purse or a pair of shoes--tee hee) and with out realizing that men like me are creating resources that attract younger women and I will discard them just as you do when it comes to your selection of men. A male that has presence and lets a women know that she can a limited amount of his creations (money) will continue to have as many fertile females as long as he lives,and that ladies is something that you as dancers will soon realize that younger females will soon replace you to show off their sexualitty to attract males that are capable of offering them safety security and the protection of their off spring.

    I know women who got hitched early and then left everything their nice house, their nice husband at their side, and their 2.5 children to go "find themselves" in their forties. Or women who gave up everything for the" domestic dream " only to have their husbands pick up and leave for no reason, leaving their women who by this time are nearing middle age with no skills and no real career prospects for themselves. I really don't think there's a right path. One will always want what they can't have. My mom got married at 19 had three kids and now is divorced single at 56 with a part time job and dreams of a life where she didn't get married so early and led the life she wanted which included more dating, career etc. Getting married during a time when she was still receiving male attention didn't really work out for her in the long term did it.. I don't think there are guarantees no matter which route you take. So one can say I can easily find a mate right now because I'm at my "ultimate level of hotness" but considering the high probability of divorce what the hell is the difference if I date in my 20's and end up in single in my forties or get married in my 20s when I'm most likely not ready for a life long commitment and then get divorced and end up single in my forties?!?! At least if I focused on a career or cultivating some type of skill I will be able to fend for myself in a worst case scenario.

    Lauren,I never expected a response like this (you pig male,you harmed me because your a male or give me what you have because I have a vagina on and on it goes) ,women (surperior sex in regards to reproduction) are dependent on males (surperior in regards to creation of invention and new devices) to assist them in the new humans and to bring about general safety. In todays culture women are told that they have plenty of time to get married so they sexually dabble in sex with "hot males" that makes an imprint on a womans mind that lasts for a lifetime (benchmark) making it difficult for a woman in a marriage to forget the standard that been set by the he was hot,result is that women after the amount of children that they want leads to a 80% divorce rate by women. STOP

    Women marry men because they are programmed to mate with men who can provide the resources mentioned above,a modern women like her cave woman sister looks for the same traits only it becomes in modern terms "he knows how to talk to me" ( are you beautiful ? well I think with some effort on my part we can sneak you under the radar).

    I actually re-read Florida's posts several times over, trying to find something that made any damn sense, but it appears my first instincts were correct...
    Dude, you write like a 1950's family studies/sexual health booklet...wtf does bearing children have to do with being a 'superior sex'? Or, for that matter, since when has technological innovation been the sole bastion of men? These euro-centric male/female oppositional 'caveman' tropes don't actually exist outside of your mind, out here in the real world people are attracted to each other for multiple reasons. Physical perfection and material resources aren't the main criteria upon which every individual chooses a mate-or even a brief fling.
    I won't even bother to write down my own personal experience which belies your neat and tidy/cold and clinical way of viewing human interaction, I'll just state that I'd never rely upon a man for $$$ (even though my guy does have a great job), not because I hate or resent men, but because I love the feeling of providing for myself, and I'd never want to feel like a 'dependent'. You're quite correct that along with $$$ comes power, which is why relying upon others to provide for my needs would be an unacceptable choice. I'm not 'programmed' in any particular way. Rather, I'm capable of rational thought and of designing my life in a way which best suits my aims and goals, which diverge quite markedly from your idea of what those should be.
    You're assuming that Lauren (and any other chica here who's involved in the sex industry) only seeks material comforts from men (that ostensibly we can't/won't earn for ourselves) and that men seek only our nubile, uber-fertile bodies (laughing out loud at the 'declining cycles' remark, btw). You're also assuming that every women involved in a 'looks-based' business has no other skills or resoures to draw upon. Is it so difficult to imagine an intelligent woman using her body AND her mind in a variety of wage-earning pursuits?
    If you'd ever been exposed to a healthy adult relationship you'd learn this, but like Chloe said, when you drive women away with your misogyny and resent having to pay for pussy you come to view every female as being drawn to your wallet like a heat-seeking missile.
    There is a world outside your tiny realm of experience, we invite you to join it.
    So please, STOP

    P.S. Roast, can you pretend it's my birthday and write a response to this guy?

    In response to Lauren's OP...I'm sure I'll know way more when I'm 46 than I do now, but honestly I wouldn't want to be 27 again...I'm way happier, healthier, and hotter now

    There's a fantastic book that's just been published - "30 Lessons for Living". One of the best reads in a long, long time. It's based on a Cornell project that interviewed over 1,000 elderly Americans, asking them what they'd do differently, what was their secret to a long-lasting marriage, happiness in general, what would be their greatest piece of advice to leave behind, etc.

    http://www.amazon.com/30-Lessons-Liv...7746707&sr=8-1

    Btw, I have no stake in this - just wanted to pass along a rec. My apologies if the link goes against site rules! If so, please feel free to delete it.

    I wish I knew at 20 whatever, is a wish to be ahead of or fix something you perceive wrong with your life.

    For me,
    I would not leave/go back to boston instead of this shithole market
    Date that newscaster instead of staying in my broken relationship
    Buy $100,000 in google startup shares
    Done more international and us travel
    Partied way more
    Bought rental units with easy bank loans. They'd be paid off now
    IN SHORT
    Started to OCCUPY MY LIFE

    pinups your suggestions were more what i was hoping for. If i wanted to attract idiots like floridamail i would've labeled this thread when should women who have nothing going for themselves snag a man according to bitter males like the one above.

    So much to respond to, but ladies don't worry about idiots like Floridamail. I am 41 and still get hit on by men, including younger men. My 64 year old mom still gets hit on by men. This whole "women have no worth beyond 40" is put out there by men who can't get laid and think that being men gives them the honor of dating younger women. Um, wrong. I knew many men with this attitude and need I mention they are now in their 50's and still single? Trust me it's not because women are falling at their feet. Sure wealthy men can get hot women, and we know why. The chances of an average man being able to attract a much younger woman? not high unless he has money or she's insecure, or has a grandpa fixation. Too many men believe all the lies put out there by the media such as older men or fatter men can get young hotties. Not in the real life.

    Btw, I have friends my age who have been married and divorced and they regret getting married so not everyone desires it. I'd rather be 41 and never married than divorced from a horrible marriage.

    Oh and men have a biological clock too. I am meeting men my age desperate to have kids. Contrary to what many people think, there are women who can have babies naturally in their 40's and many younger women who can't. Even if a woman can't get pregnant for whatever reason there are many alternatives to this. I've known many older women who got pregnant later in life than normal, including relatives who had kids at a late time in eras without technology. Even if a woman can't get pregnant, would any woman want a guy who only judges her on her fertility? I wouldn't and I am more than my uterus.
