Thank you so much for pointing out reality. You are the hero
women all people need!
:P
The issue wasn't personal sexual preferences though, everyone is aware that those differ person to person. The issue was broadstroke qualitative statements, like "women who are X need to readjust their expectations" or "women who are X are less viable." Nothing wrong with saying "I have the following preferences," but to turn it into some definitive statement on women as a whole is probably not great. Look at the post above, "I date 25-35 max"... no issue at all, because he didn't try to lay out some "truth" about 35+ year old women.
Do whatever though. I didn't see Peanut's post and think "Hey, this is begging for someone come in here and point out reality" but w/e. I just thought it was condescending.
