Marion Botsford Fraser: “Oh yes, the single men we know admire smart, successful women; they choose them as business partners, friends, confidantes and sometime lovers, if they are lucky. But they mate with younger women, fertile or otherwise; sadly, still, the Amandas [from The Bachelor]. Single men who are, in terms of income, power, age, the equals of these women do not see them as potential mates. They see past them, to the young, green crop coming up behind. It's just genetics, some would say.”
