Men just want attractive women who aren't carrying someone else's chidren and baggage. Those women generally tend to be younger.

core_confusion agony auntI think that it's a little unfair to say that all men are seeking younger women. What most men really want from a relationship is someone to share life with and someone who will be there for them. Age has nothing to do with it. For most of the couple that I know, age plays very little to do with being right for each other.

As an exaple - there were 10 years between my parents when they married and it was my Mother who was the oldest.

As for the whole 'dying a virgin' thing - I'm sure some people on here will disagree with what I am about to wrire but for what it's worth, I believe that being a virgin is something to be proud of as sex is only something that should happen inside of a committed, loving relationship.

You have 2 basic choices - let your life carry on as it is and in a years time, start worrying that you are even older still or you can grab life by the horns, realise your worth and go out to find a man. Dont be afraid to look - sometimes a good one can take some finding but you have plenty of places to look.

Make some basic decisions - what you're looking for in apotential partner, an interests you would like to share etc. Now go and get them. Try joining a clubs or social circlues for interest that you have, work is usually a good place to meet people as well. If all else fails, there's always dating web sites or local events - dont be afraid to give them a go.

Good Luck - and go get 'em!

If you don't situation then don;t sit and complain about it and generalise that ALL men only want girls in their 20's.

You are making excuses so that you can sit and feel sorry for yourself.

Get out there and meet new people. You will find a man if you look for one.

Good Luck!! xx
