amerikajin Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 In your opinion, in your experience, when does a man seem to have the most sex appeal? Is it when he's a hard-bodied, well-chiseled, soft-faced 23-year-old young buck? Is it when he has a line or two on his face, but still a relatively young looking 30-something? Is it when he's a graying but powerful and stable, confident 40-something or even 50-something? When does a guy typically hit his peak from where you all stand? Link to post Share on other sites
My Fair Katie Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Something about an older confident man in his 40s/50s (assuming he's taken care of himself and is still fit) with salt and pepper hair. Yum. Luckily this means my husband has another 20 years of climbing the hill before he peaks. Link to post Share on other sites

Storyrider Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 In your opinion, in your experience, when does a man seem to have the most sex appeal? When does a guy typically hit his peak from where you all stand? I love this question! I think if a woman loves men she can see something to be attracted to at all different ages. It is not so much the hard body that makes a man in his twenties attractive, it is that his emotions are more on the surface and he sees everything with relatively new eyes, he is high energy and able to be spontaneous because perhaps he hasn't as many responsibilities. He isn't yet weighed down with distrust caused by bad experiences; he's less cynical. (If he is a hard body I suppose that could be a bonus.) An older guy is more seasoned. He is wiser, more complex, has more layers to his personality. He understands women better and what he wants. If he is settled in a good career with good earning power I think that is a really attractive bonus. Disclaimer: Of course these are generalizations and there will be exceptions. I peaked at fourteen If I can go off topic very briefly: Burning, I like your latest profile pic. better. Not quite smiling, but I'll take what I can get. You have nice eyes.

norajane Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 He's sexiest when he's at his most confident...and when he's at his most openly intimate with a woman in his life, if that makes any sense. I knew my SO in his 20's and 30's - he's now 40 and I think he just gets sexier all the time! Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 For me it's more a matter of does his personality appeal to me. If it does, he might not be gorgeous but he is, to me. Confidence, intelligence and a witty sense of humour are very important. If he doesn't have these three characteristics, it ain't gonna' happen baby. Look at George Clooney. He's got it all. Who cares about a few wrinkles. Link to post Share on other sites

BARBGURL Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Age is not really a factor to me although I think the younger they are, the more have to learn. Sometimes teaching can be fun , but sometimes not so fun. I like a man in his 40's or 50's who is confident, charismatic, and likes me!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

IpAncA Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 It depends on the person so IMO I would say about late twenties, early 30s is their peak. When I met my H he was good looking but now he's really good looking. He's always going to be good looking to me no matter how old he is. Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The right answer: At whatever age his income peaks. Speaking for women here. I'm not attracted to men. Link to post Share on other sites

Trialbyfire Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The right answer: At whatever age his income peaks. Speaking for women here. I'm not attracted to men. Ummm...nope. I do just fine on my own, thank-you very much... Growth in income tends to equate to exponential growth in ego. Ick... Link to post Share on other sites
freckles73 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Maybe I'm just weird, but I think a man is sexiest when he's intelligent, confident, funny and a little "broken in". By that I mean, he's got some sexy wrinkles around the eyes (bedroom eyes) and he's tall and strong, but not in a gym-rat sort of way...more of a huggable teddy bear....a little smooshy around the middle is okay and much nicer to cuddle with. There's something quite attractive about the Clooney-ish gray hair. It's been my experience that these tend to be the kind of men who practice chivalry and have an old fashioned kind of romantic side to them. Link to post Share on other sites

luvtoto Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Depends on the guy. If I had to guess, I would say 35. Link to post Share on other sites
IpAncA Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I think anyone who has an increase in income might have their ego played with. It doesn't matter if their male or female. Link to post Share on other sites

bluetuesday Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 it totally depends on the guy. some never get to what you'd call a peak because they never truly grow up. same for women, of course. IME, 35 to 45 is the finest age. young enough to do everything, old enough not to have to prove it. Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Like you, Rooster, I fit the profile pretty closely. I'm 36, make good money, etc... The problem that you and I face is that we have some fundamental flaws that make us unlovable by women in the long term. Sucks. Link to post Share on other sites

The problem that you and I face is that we have some fundamental flaws that make us unlovable by women in the long term. Sucks. ya see, the irony is that being 36 and making good money isn't even close to fitting the profile if you're the sort of guy who knows you have a problem where women are concerned and prefers to let the problem beat him than do anything about it. a man worth being with digs out that sucker and faces it head on 'til the death. that's the only way to grab life, johan.
