Nowadays, women are presented with significantly more options to stay "fit." If we start with beauty centers where women undergo various skin treatments—ranging from wrinkle and cellulite reduction to liposuction, and now the latest Botox treatments used to cling to a youthful appearance—it’s quite extensive. Then there are the various fitness options available to them, such as Pilates, gyms, aerobics, step aerobics, CrossFit, numerous dance clubs where middle-aged women are a staple, as well as swimming and running. Women in their 40s are generally in much better shape than men in their 40s. You can see this just by looking at the beach; if you grab 100 random women between ages 35 and 45 and 100 random men in that same age bracket, you will find a much higher percentage of women in peak physical condition and great shape.

On a different note, I do agree that those of us from the South are significantly taller. Here in New York City, you really only run into a tall man if he’s from the Midwest or carries roots from the South. These so-called locals of the second or third generation are practically little people. Which, of course, suits me just fine.

Forget about the beauty salons! Forget the plastic surgery! You need to look at biology! Look at Sean Connery! That man was born in the thirties! I won't say it today, but back in 2010, those looks would have been given to anyone! Even an 80-year-old grandpa! Try finding me a woman who is 65+ and still gets a second glance from a younger man. Just look at the icons of sex appeal! Sharon Stone, Madonna. They were once true symbols of beauty! Look at them now. Brad Pitt is 57 years old! Go ahead, try to find me a single woman who actually looks desirable at 57!

Women just mature faster! While we’re still kids and adolescents, they’ve already become women. Both sexually and emotionally, they hit that stage much earlier. They are the beauties while we’re still acting like boys. And then once we hit 40+...

At 5'10", he weighs about 187 lbs. Men in their 40s who look like this are quite rare, as most look significantly worse than him—and this is what you categorize as "not having a beer belly, but still caring about appearance." In my humble opinion, based on my experience with women from various social backgrounds and statuses, this type of man will attract certain women, let alone many. What is unfortunate is that men aged 40 and older rarely look even remotely like this, which is a shame. Very few men in their 40s can truly be called handsome. I suppose some people simply have very low standards, for whom someone like Drago Krpin would be considered attractive.

There are far fewer women over 40 who could be described as total bitches than there are men over 40 who can be called hot shots. Women tend to decline much faster and more drastically.

Terry Bennett said:What are you guys talking about? What 1%?
There isn't even a 1% of men over 6'3", especially once they hit middle age.
When you factor in all those other requirements, we aren't even talking about 1 percent. We're nowhere near it.

"But she won't settle for anything less; she deserves someone like that," she read in Gloria.
... meanwhile, she can't even fry an egg.🤦

Maybe in Appalachia or the Midwest, it’s 1%. Personally, I’d wager that in California, it’s closer to 10%. Being 6'3" isn't some impossible, mythical height. And honestly, if they dropped the requirement down to 6'1", you might actually be looking at 30% of the population.
