I agree, but with that said, I haven't dated anyone out of my age range in many years. They should know what they are looking for by now, and yes, I realize that bad fortune is probably more to blame than any certain stereotype.
I'll break this down a bit more....
I am not the type to go pursue women (in fact, I end up being the pursued one, usually). When I end up dating someone, it's usually because it's fallen into place somehow. A friend of a friend, someone I've met through work, and a couple of times someone I have met online, etc.. I don't use dating services or go to clubs in search of romance.
This is what gets to me, and probably Chip, Mal and others. You're pursued, only to be dumped after a while.
It's a vicious cycle, because you run the danger of becoming jaded, which then makes you a worse partner.
