Of course I am only guessing at the ages here ... I've been assuming that the majority of posters here are very young. But maybe this forum is clogged with a bunch of "dirty old men".
I understand what you are saying. Maybe a lot of that stems from the fact that younger dudes still feel the need to prove themselves and their masculinity, whereas older, more mature men are confident in themselves and don't feel like they have to prove anything. Just remember that while we may be the minority, there are some mature, very gentlemanly younger men out here too
