Just like everyone that visits Amsterdam is either getting high, looking for a prostitute or both? This place has gotten worse than reddit...

Why, is that populated with people who can't comprehend English too?

Please lookup the definition of the word "some".

Some younger, middle-aged or older unattached men turns out to be a generalization about the majority of men. Actually reddit is a compliment, it's worse than 4chan.

"Some" specifically means a small or unknown number of something, not "the majority of" something.

"either young and unattached, or middle aged/older unattached men" implies either men in their late teens/early twenties or men 40+.

I guess it was too much to expect people to actually understand what words mean.
