Single middle-aged women tend to be perceived as dedicated to their jobs and highly sophisticated and capable, but their male counterparts are perceived as reclusive and socially awkward. Human resources managers in major business conglomerates admit they often categorize single men in their 30s into three groups: those with personality problems, those with odd lifestyles or those who are likely to display a lack of loyalty to their employer. "It's been some time since employers began favoring younger workers when recruiting new staff or scouting experienced workers," said a human resource manager at Hanwha Group. "But there is an increasing tendency to shun single, middle-aged men. These individuals are being left out of the list." Another human resources manager with a big company said, "Big conglomerates favor people who can blend in well with others around them, but single men in their 30s and 40s end up getting low marks in this area. There's a tendency to put more trust in men of similar age groups who are married and have one or two children because they're thought to be more responsible."   1.
