I'm no expert but I think younger women generally have more enthusiasm and flair about them. This being said not all types have the situational circumstances to ignite any passion, drive or desire. Some women are more ambitious and career-oriented (for instance) than some guys I've met, so they might just have different goals in mind than settling down or committing to a long-term relationship. Others are less willing to explore their sexuality and prefer to be friends so think about how you approached those women who seem jaded and consider being in their shoes. What would you think if you were approached by yourself? This is much more difficult for a male to comprehend and fathom because of our biological programming. Also, I think the older ANY PERSON gets, with accruing time and experience, they may grow weary if those experiences are repeatedly negative and they adopt or are conditioned to elect a pessimistic view on life. I've recently discovered a program developed by a PhD Psychology student in the States about how to increase success with ANY woman. Some categorisation and identification using the parameters of the three conflicts in womens lives (involving TIME, SEX and RELATIONSHIPS)is involved (I understand some female readers of this post may not appreciate being categorically defined) and this shed a whole lot of light about my perspectives on women. I would honestly recommend not presuming ALL women are jaded but rather experiment by talking to women at different locations and times during the day, especially if they don't seem overly preoccupied (busyness can cause a lot of stress which may wear some people thin and make them susceptible to weariness and "jadedness"). If you need any pointers on anything I've written about I am happy to reply. All the best!
