As women get older, does their taste in "attractive" men change?

You're clearly a nice sweet guy. Girls in their early twenties want the hottest badboy around but when they grow up and want to settle down, they want a nice guy. Like you. You might as well go with it-the older women can teach you tricks in the bedroom younger girls won't know!I don't think you should go out with anyone older than 30 though at most cos that'd be too old.

I used to always go for the charismatic guy that was my age and that got me in trouble because he/they could just charm any girl they wanted so it wasn't really any indication of genuineness/niceness etc. Now I'm starting to consider dating older men because most guys my age are unbelievably immature. I would date someone my own age if the right guy came along but for now, I think older is the way!

Yes..When I was younger I was attracted to guys who were good looking, loud, over confident and popular. Now I'm 25 I'm not interested in guys like that. I look for someone with good values and personality. I have to be attracted to them and like guys who can make me laugh. When I was younger I was all about sexual attraction and excitment. Now I'm a bit older and wiser I want a guy with substance.

Your not alone pal. I know that after college, women will start looking for long-term stability and compatibility with sexual attractiveness being less important than before. Plus popularity is out of the equation in the real world.

But it doesn't change the fact that for know in college, your love/sex life isn't where you want it to be. Just don't let it affect your education.

I have the same problem! I thought I was the only guy like this! lol

Many women's taste in me changes when they're about 25 to 30. As some of the female answerers said, women sometimes realize that exciting bad boys have some disadvantages.

If you want to date these women, consider a few things, however. I certainly don't mean that these things apply to *all* women over 25. But I've still noticed a few trends:

1. Don't let these women take advantage of your good nature. Sometimes, these women are a mess -- emotionally and financially. They've been around the block a few too many times, and can be desperate. They can be vampires, and drain you in every way possible. So protect yourself in every sense (emotionally, financially, from STDs, and anything else you can think of). They can be extremely charming, sexy and manipulative. Be suspicious of hard-luck stories, and of claims that you're the first good man she's met in ages. While very flattering (and possibly true) there's also the chance that she's setting you up for the kill ... so to speak.

2. Beware of single moms. They can have all the problems listed above. Plus, single moms are often -- not always, but often -- the walking proof of the lifelong impact of poor decisions. About 75% of American divorce filings are by women, and the majority of those are *not* cases where the man was abusive or cheated. Be twice suspicious of hard-luck stories from single moms. These can be emotionally abusive women who wore their man down, they can be immature women who feel bitter that their bad boy didn't reform as she hoped. Single moms are sometimes looking for a sugar daddy, basically. They want a man who'll pay the bills and slip into the "daddy" role for the kids. So apply all the cautions mentioned previously to single women, but magnify your suspicions by about ten times ... because there's the possibility that she's self-absorbed enough to risk damaging her own kids.

Sorry for not being a lady and still answering this question. But I am 25, and I find that now I receive much more attention from some reasonably attractive girls than I did when I was say 18. I am not bad looking, have a good job, I am educated, etc. I think that women over 25 are looking for more of a personality than just appearance. Early 20's seem to be all about the appearance.
