Take a look around you.  Like what you see?  I'm afraid this is as good as
it's going to get, at least according to this guy:

Imagine that. Old guy scientist claims that old guys should bag young women.
"But, baby, it's scientific!"

I immediately thought of this:

*General "Buck" Turgidson*: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to
each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called
monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

*Dr. Strangelove*: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice
required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each
man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the
women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will
have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

*Ambassador de Sadesky*: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea
there, Doctor.

    I accept my fate. I will propagate with younger women, if for nothing
else than to save our species. :)
