INDEPENDENT.CO.UK – June 11 – We tend to think that teenagers are now more sexually active. that's really not true. Teen promiscuity rates have fallen and there is an economic story behind it. It's become much harder for people who don't go on to further education to support themselves. Teens are responding to economic incentive. Divorce rates in the UK have been falling for almost 10 years. They have now fallen to where they were in 1977. One possible explanation is how they meet. The Internet opens up the market for dating and marriage, the pool becomes much bigger, which leads to people searching for longer and searching for somebody who is more perfect for them. Because women live longer we tend to think that they are disadvantaged. Early in life we assume that women are looking for a longer-term commitment and men for short-term relationships, but later in life, women are actually looking for short-term relationships and it's the men who are looking for the longer-term commitment because they're hoping to find somebody who will take care of them when they reach old age. When older people search online, the women are actually very picky whereas men actually become much less picky as they get older. A lot of older men end up with women who are older than them.

I think older women may not be looking for a long term relationship. Women can do just fine without a man in their life, later in years. Men suffer, btw. I think older women are looking for companionship, and would be pleased with medium term relationships. Mainly because they’re being realistic and know that’s all that’s possible.
