When I see that Jason wrote that women in their late 20’s are “just undatable”, I probably should have stopped reading. Here, lemme explain. You probably already know about Yelp, right? It’s kind of like Facebook meets Citysearch. You can find (or write) great reviews about hot spots in your city and share those reviews with friends and others. If that wasn’t fun enough, hold on to your panties folks because the shit’s about to get even more exciting. You see, the secret about Yelp is this: It’s not just about the reviews. Oh, no. Sometimes our lovely little Yelpers actually delve into discussion about the Wonderful World of Women and Men. Yep, relationships. In fact, almost two weeks ago, a friend brought this discussion to my attention. A chivalrous gentleman by the name of Jason H. writes:
” … [W]omen in their late 20′s are just undatable. The combination of being jaded by failed relationships and dating in a city where they outnumber single men while many of their friends have either gotten engaged or married pretty much makes them into neurotic messes with way too much baggage and loudly ticking biological clocks.”
Oh. My. Dear. Sweet. Little Buddha. But, simmer down people. Before you all write this younger man off as a an official “milf-hater”, let me explain something. According to what he writes on the site, Jason is NOT against dating older women. He likes early 20-somethings, but he also likes cougars in their 30s. The problem seems to be the late 20-somethings; they’re the neurotic ones according to Jason. Of course, not everyone agrees with Jason’s assessments. In fact, a Yelper named Kurt S. plainly states that Jason is, “all kinds of wrong”. Late 20-something women aren’t neurotic, Kurt tells us. “Everyone knows all women are neurotic, not just a certain age group.” Wow. This shit only gets better by the word, doesn’t it? So, there you have it. Head over to Yelp if you’d like to read the rest of the conversation. Swoon as one of the male Yelpers declares that a 30-something women are probably a sexually diseased functioning alcoholics. Consume other morsels of wisdom that are ready and waiting for you on tap at Yelp.com. Meanwhile, here at FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com, Jason H and the other guys from that Yelp online exchange are today’s “Manly Monday” pick.

In some ways I’m quite glad I don’t live in NYC. Just seems so many rules and protocols to dating. think it would drive me crazy.
You know, your posts about NYC alternatively make me green with envy (the cool ones about how much fun you have) and (is there a colour for relief?) with relief for ones like these, because I don’t have to deal with what are essentially rather silly sounding rules/generalisations. The way I see it EVERYONE has their own set of baggage and personality disorders, regardless of gender/age/race/ethnicity etc. We’re all nuts:)
This bunch of guys is the best you could come up with for M.M.? Must be scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Who’s it gonna be next week, a meth addict who doesn’t shower and who shaves four-letter words into the hair on small, helpless animals? Bajeebers! You must have a side gig working for Yelp, is that it?
no, actually, BD, I sent her the link. I thought she would get a kick out of it. Any girl who’s dated in NY has met some form of that guy.
Somehow, the more of the quotes of these “guys” you make, the more………..non-guyly or perhaps….girly is more appropriate. It’s like what happens when kids who were in the “he-man-woman-haters club” growup….what do they talk about besides how to get their bikini line waxed. Ah yes..we’ll talk about how women our age are “undateable” …Why is that? because they can see through your very special brand of bullshit?
1. women older than 30 see you coming and don’t care. They’ll let you think they buy your bullshit, but thats when the “cougar ” strikes.
2. Women or “big girls” may actually buy your crap and thusly end up pissed off and jaded as the grow into their 20′s, because it takes them a while to realize that your full of shit. Then they’re all dissapointed and hence the quandry from the begining of Jason’s post.
3. They just need to come to grips with the fact that they’re trying “not” to date people their age, because of their own fear of being in an actual relationship of meaning.

* Darwin: Trust me, I get kind of tired of the silly rules too. And, yes, we’re all nuts.
* Baba Doodlius: Heeey, I did this one for one of my fabulous readers. :-) I love it when people send me emails to suggest Manly Monday topics. And, for the record, I don’t have a side gig with Yelp. :)
* sexpot donna: Thanks for the tip! And, yeah, we’ve all met “that guy”.
