I'm talking about sex, not love.
A man will forsake his wife for a hot young woman more easily than for a gray haired mare.
Ask Petraus, Clinton, Cosby, Edwards, Hart, etc.
And that is part of the general problem.
We talk about the trivial and most transient things and neglect the things that are permanent, ageless and of far more importance. Most guys, once they pass 45 years old, are not so concerned with looks and find that it is the woman's mind and character that gives them the greatest satisfaction.
I really dont care about the sexual criteria here, as most guys just get some porn that excites them and just masturbate, which is pathetic in a way, but much cheaper in the short term to marrying a model, and a porn mag wont sue you for alimony.
Too many guys ditch their trusting wives for some 'beauty', not realizing that just a century ago the wife would have been considered far more beautiful and the beauty of today would have been considered a starving unhealthy bag of bones. So why leave it to the whims of fashion to tell you who to find attractive?
And why do they do this? Because they are gullible enough to accept societies shallow values and they do not think for themselves.
