This is absolutely true. So many men are stuck in a primitive way of looking at women. Thankfully that is less of an issue the older/more mature you get.

Also - when I was younger, I wanted to have kids, and my clock was ticking - so there was all sorts of stress around dating. Now, there's no pressure, and I can just relax and enjoy the person in front of me without playing all these mental scenarios, and have sex if I want to without internalized pressure. I sure wish I had done this back when! :)
