A 49-year-old's opinion:
I don't hate men. Even after multiple failed relationships, I don't hate men. In fact, I enjoy being around men (urge, someday I'm coming to Canada and not telling my uncle). I don't hate women. I also enjoy being around women. Truth be told, I enjoy being around people. Maybe it's my age, I don't know. I have no time for assholes. If you're going to be an asshole - male or female - I'm walking away. Have a great life.
I don't worry about my looks disappearing. I do color my hair, but only because I think the gray makes me look washed out. But as for the wrinkles, sagging, etc. - who gives a shit. I have many female friends that are in their late teens/early 20s.
*steps off soapbox*
