I have had many guys on this site and in person say that I don't look my age which is 32. They think either my profile picture is wrong or my age is listed wrong. So it got me wondering when do you consider someone too old to be attractive? Do younger men really think women in their 30's and even 40's can't be attractive?
Update: I chose to post anonymously because I am not asking if people think I am attractive or look young for my age merely asking a question regarding the population as a whole.

guys in their teens and 20's MIGHT not think you are but like late 20's early 20's probably will. reminds me of that family guy episode where brain tried to date a 50 year old. but wound up screwing the 21 year old. the 50 year old dumped him cause he came clean about it
Honestly I think it all depends on the individual woman. I am 33, and I can remember that since I was in my teens I would see women in their 30 (and some in their 40s) that I thought were just super hot.
Well, they CAN be physically attractive at a certain age, but it's hard to find. Some people just age better than others.
The all time beauties such as Jane Seymore, Raquel Welch, Sharon Stone, Suzanne Somers, Jaclyn Smith, etc., are women who have good genetics and take care of themself, so they defy the years. But the odds of that are very rare.
So, to answer, yes they can be. But it's hard to find.
it all depends on how she looks and if she is in shape. I'm 26 and there's women in their late 40's that look incredible. The oldest I've been with is 42 and she looked in here early 30's
Yes, older woman can be very attractive if they keep in shape. Some even more so than when they were younger, especially because they learn how to dress. But most woman don't keep fit -- and are prime in their early twenties or even teens. Once you are past breeding age -- you really can't compete in terms of looking sexy -- so don't push it.
It's not really the age necessarily. I've seen some people who look 15 years older than what they are and 10 years younger.
But wrinkles, while they won't make or break you, will probably hurt you. Some people don't have wrinkles and still look old mostly due to altered bone structure and baggy eyes. Iman still looks hot at 53, while some people don't look good no matter how old they are. So I can't answer this question by giving a specific age. But at my current age, I don't usually find women EMOTIONALLY attractive past 40.
I haven't given it much thought. There are women in their 40's and 50's who still look very attractive to me at least, so it really doesn't matter so much.
If we're speaking purely about physical attractiveness, I'd have to say it depends more on the person than their age. Some people are just blessed with better physical looks and others take more of an effort in their appearance. I have seen some women in their mid-50's that I thought were hot and was floored when I found out their age.
Other than taking care of yourself physically, I wouldn't worry too much about what others say of your age. If people have issues with it, that's their problem for being shallow.
There is no age for me where I just decide someone cannot be attractive. They either are or aren't attractive. I've seen some women, well past their 40s that I thought to be physically attractive. As far as holding a relationship with them, that is a different story, but age doesn't define attractiveness for me.
I think now more than ever women who are, or are approaching the "cougar" age are being celebrated. There's even a new TV show (which features the fabulous Courtney Cox!). Celebrate your wisdom and beauty, and don't let others get in the way. Besides, sexually speaking, women mature around their late 30's... so you're technically approaching your prime! :D It's all about taking care of your body and celebrating your curves.
Generally speaking, most girls think men become more attractive, more mature, stronger, and more self-confident when they're older, but it's a sad fact of life that men of all ages go for the fresh, young and juicy chicks. If you don't have a guy hooked for life by the time you're 30, it's usually too late, and you've missed the boat.
I don't know about guys and older women, that's always been a completely alien concept to me, but I always find that I can be attracted to guys up to about age 45, and I'm only 18 here. The general rule all my life has been about double my age is my ideal, ever since I was 4 and had a massive crush on my friend's 7-year-old brother lol. At 10 I fancied young adults and it really has roughly followed that pattern, which I only noticed this year. I don't know why. It might be a mental thing of being younger than them or it might just be that physically I like the way older guys look. Probably a bit of both. If Dolores Haze had survived to 18, I'd be her ha.
But I think the same concept probably applies to both ways around... I say up to age 45, meaning, up to what the average/healthy 45-year-old might look like. You could get someone that age that looked way older due to smoking or a bad diet whatever, or maybe they were just unattractive in the first place. And you could have someone that age that looked much younger, like yourself (though not 45 ha). But having had people question my attraction to older men, what I've found is that most people just think the concept is weird, of having two people get together with such an age gap. I've been a bit sneaky at times - I've showed friends my age pictures of anonymous guys and they've said they found them attractive, then when I told them their ages, THAT's when they changed their minds lol
It really depends on how well they keep themselves For both sexes, they need to eat well, keep trim and exercise to look young. If someone is a regular practitioner of yoga and/or pilates, they do tend to look fresh and really streamlined-not too muscly. I don't think too much muscle is attractive beyond your early 30s really-guys have to get more lean muscle at that stage for me because too much muscle means there's not enough fat in the body so they can tend to look a bit haggard. It goes for some women-like Madonna. She's toned within an inch of her life but its all muscle so she doesn't look good! Whereas I would want to look like Jennifer Aniston (who does a lot of yoga). Toned but not muscly.
It does depend on stress and smoking. Omg smokers get so old looking! And sun damage for women. As well lots of water. So whilst everyone gets older, I think that we can all look good for our age once we put the effort in. After about 40, a guy starts to look older for me. Same with women. Unless each sex puts effort in. But then I'm only 22 so when I'm 40, I will view things differently I'm sure. There are some beautiful people though that wreck their looks. Brigitte Bardot was stunning but then she got sun damage so she doesn't look at all like her younger self. Or Mickey Rourke with all the plastic surgery. So yes of course some people are beautiful anyway but you still need to look after your body
I think that people can be attractive at almost any age. I mean younger men typically don't find women in their 80's attractive, but as a whole there are always some very attractive women in their 40's and even 50's. My mom is in her mid 40's and guys in their teens and early 20's always comment on how hot she is and all that stuff. No matter your age, there really isn't any denying the attractiveness of a beautiful woman.
I can honestly say that it is dependent on the person. There are some people that are 35 and never cared about themselves and never took care of themselves and aren't attractive. Then there are men who are smoking hot and in there 40's or just about there.. I'm only 22 and I find some older men SO SEXY! Lets just hink about this... Sean Connery. Seriously. Woh! lol I don't think that there is a magical age. Or at least I hope not lol
I'd say round about never. Can't put an age limit on it cause some women that were models in their twenties and are now like 50/60 still look great and I'm sure men still think they're attractive. Plus older woman say 70 year olds would find 70 year old men attractive and vice versa.
i am 31 and don't look my age. evryone thinks I'm betwen 17 and 25. so most guys that try hitting on me are usually too young like 19 to 25. I hate it and older pervs that like really young women hit on me like in thier upper 40's and 50's. I can't find anyone in between!
Why does an age preference on your part, equal perversion on their part? Do you think you are still a little girl who needs protection from big bad older men or something? - 12 days ago
