harrybrown Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have so much more in common with women my age. Rock and roll music, and zest for life. common sense. Wonderful mature attitudes. Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGirl Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 This thread is actually really heartening. I expected to be a little sad reading it but it is pretty much (overall) the opposite of what I expected...I'm very surprised. Here's to the men of LS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shining One Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've dated both younger and older over the years. Even taking relationships (in which I generally prefer my age or older) out of the equation, I tend to prefer older women. Women 10 years younger may be more appealing to look at, but women 10 years older are more fun to "play with". 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dichotomy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 As men age, are they more attracted to younger women or women their own age? I honestly want to know how men feel about this or what they have experienced. I want women's opinions too. I have always found older men attractive, but, as I age, I'm becoming aware that I will one day catch up to the guys I've viewed as older men. Will they find me attractive at that point? I'm 36, and I don't generally find men in their 20s attractive. I'm usually attracted to men in their 40s or even early 50s. For example, do men in their 50s find women in their 50s attractive? Or would they rather have a younger woman? Do men want to have sex with women as they age? Because, let's face it, the body changes over time. I'm not looking for politically correct answers or a discussion on sexism; I'm just looking for some honest discussion on the topic. I don't think it's sexist for a man to be more attracted to a younger woman, and I don't want the topic to devolve into that please. At some point - there is a cut off for me where (for me) it feels icky. Also as a dad, that has a lot to do with it. At 50 I would day the cut off would be around 30 were anything younger feels icky - and I see this from both sides really - just icky. Its more about energy and spirit - sexual energy and spirit for me than age. If I were single - of course I would be interested in someone my own age - if for periods of time they enjoy not acting their own age. If you know what I mean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wmacbride Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm a woman, and I find men much older than me remind me of my dad, and find that unappealing. This being said, my dad, who is close to 80, somehow manages to catch the eye of plenty of women, both young and old. After my mom died, he grieved for a long time before meeting a woman his age, who he is now "room mates " ( wink wink, nudge nudge) with.I don't care for her that much, and think he could have done better. There were lots of women who are far more attractive, and a fair bit younger, who were interested in him, but as he said, looks don't matter if a person's personality is bad, and his new "room mate" makes him happy. On a side note, the experience of giving relationship advice to my dad felt really weird, as it used to be the other way around:laugh: 2 Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 There are some tools out there that only go for what they think would impress other people the most, but in general I think most men just want someone they click with, be it younger or older. As most people know by now my girlfriend is a little older than me and I've never felt the way I feel about her about anyone before. A parade of younger girls couldn't light my heart on fire even a fraction of the intensity she does. To each his own. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author BC1980 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 This thread is actually really heartening. I expected to be a little sad reading it but it is pretty much (overall) the opposite of what I expected...I'm very surprised. Here's to the men of LS. Me too! I'm 36, so I'm closer to 40 than 30 for the first time. I actually feel better now than I ever have, and I'm taking better care of myself than I did in my 20s. I'm more active and eat healthier.

Fresnite Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm 19 and a guy, i date around my age perhaps several years older but honestly women seem most beautiful between 28 to 37 years old. I dont know exaclty what it is, but i see some woman 35 years old looking 20 and some 20 year olds looking 40 lol. But i think for that age group looking the best is because of experience and confidence. Keep up the good work girls! Stay beautiful and true to yourselves! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
