+1 yYou say "yeah I'm sure" like that alone dismisses the biological imperative innately born into every non-asexually reproducing species of anything ever.
Males find the ability to produce healthy offspring and traits that indicate so to be sexually attractive. Get some data on the likelihood of medical complications during pregnancy and childbirth and the likelihood of having a kid with disabilities or deformities even as "young" as 28 compared to a decade earlier.
I mean, unless you just want to disagree with facts. You know, like feminism does.60 Reply

+1 ySo what's wrong with the biological answer? A young woman is more likely to be fertile, that's just a fact.
That being said, given that men are very visual creaures and women hit the wall at 30 in terms of looks. So when all other things are equal, a man would prefer a woman who still has 9 good years on her looks opposed to one whose looks are already declining.
If men became poorer as we aged, you wouldn't be all confused when women prefer to date younger men right?50 Reply
I am dating someone older not because he is older but because I find him attractive on the in and outside. Probably the age gap was one of the reasons why I refused to see it as a potential relationship in the first place.
But in the end I just loved who is as a person. He is incredibly fit with great genetics and we have so much in common.
However most older guys are overweight, balding, wrinkly, bitter, perverted etc. I guess there are exceptions. But most people should stick with people their age.112 Reply- +1 y
I don't know why people look at perverted bing so bad. So much falls under the category perverted. Am sure everone can say they have a perverted side.

Or the big one kinky so if u like to tie or be tied, chained, cuffed or this is one of googles meanings of. perverted. of clothing) sexually provocative in an unusual way.

@dogmanthegreat I work in a male dominated profession and interact with guys of ages 20-60. What I mean with perverted here is getting sexual offers/comments from a guy that could be my dad/granddad and is married with kids that are almost my own age, without me ever giving them any flirty or sexual cue's. I find that disgusting.

I think its funny there reactions they get. And there saying what they won't and by the way most older man let there other half hear that most are not worried. like u said, They scare young girls. Shit most of the time there both trying for young stuff. Iv heard oldman tell there girl i just won't to have sex with a young girl and she say ok but am picking up a yound man for the night the fact is. Wrinkled stuff that dont work right no one likes goes both ways. And some older people will allow incounters with others as long as its once every blue moon and they fill nothing for them.

my husband is actually about 10 months younger than I am
we actually have a few friends who are in long term relationships with people their own ages.
also some men are attracted to older women and some women attracted to younger men..

575 opinions shared on Dating topic. Because girls don't want guys their own age. When guys are young, we're looked down upon by girls in our age group. We're told that we have to wait until we're older to be attractive to girls, because girls respect and want older guys. So we end up dating younger girls because they're the only ones who want us.
00 ReplyI think it's because women don't generally age as well as men, which really sucks. I also find that women my age aren't as up to having any fun, whether it's having sex or going bowling. That can be really frustrating for a man, especially if she herself pulls the "too old" or "menopause" card.

Yes. It's all about the biological clock. It ticks whether the feminists like it or not. Girls and Boys are not equal. In nothing. A man needs time to settle for having a family. A woman is just needs to get pregnant. They care absolutely not about how to run a family. Only after they gave birth, they start to think. And suddenly they realize, they have the "wrong guy" in terms of family provision. It's stereotypical.

@Pocahontas2000 That means? Look it up if you have doubts. Check for Sexual Market Value charts.
You want a man who has a settled life, stable and good income and potential for more. You think you'd find this with a 20 years old? Lol! Good luck. He will most probably still live at his parents and have a job as janitor.
They say: Men ripe like wine, woman like milk. A 35 year old woman is invisible for men who want to have a family. Don't get fooled by individual success stories or exceptions. The big majority behaves as the data shows it. - +1 y
I don't search for anyone, especially not someone with high income because I don't date men for money in the first place and appearance wise women and men are much similar, men rock in their twenties, so do women.
And that's not like men age like wine and women age like milk, both age the same way, just some women settle for old milk because of the money. - +1 y
@Pocahontas2000 You don't date for money. You date for a life my dear. The sooner you realise, the better.
Men rock at 20. Well I rocked at 20 too. Had a girl every night. A diffrerent one. Ditched them all after one day. Do whatever you want dear, but remember the guys who rock today will be the ones having a life and a wife in 15 years. Men have much more time than girls. You'll rock with them now, you will be a fucked up single mom living on welfare and alemony. One of the many millions who "rocked with the guys". You should have a talk to some adult women. They know all of that. But you are smarter I guess. - +1 y
@Pocahontas2000 Women don't age the same way. You are a bit off with this assumption. A No guy is dating a 50 year old granny. Except he has some perverted preferences. While 50 old guys can be very attractive to women. I'm 57, my last wife was 36 and the one before 32. If I'm looking for ladies of my age, all I find are potatoes. Ugly witches who have the body shape of a man and a beard. Take your head out of your butt and google for women 50+ and tell yourself what you can see there. All I can see is old cheese.

Only if a men works out a lot, eats healthy, learns to be confident and has luck with the genetic lottery. However after 50 or 52 statistics show guys lose all their attractiveness (with the exception of one or two). However having met lots of guys through work of all sorts of ages I'd say 80% are unattractive when they reach 30 cause just like a lot of women they stop taking care of themselves.

@Shutupman Exactly. I have no idea why they have such double standards.

I just want to add to the whole “men age like wine, women like milk” saying and say that if this is true it might have to do with men having a surplus of testosterone compared to women.
- +1 y
No, I mean testosterone might prevent men from developing wrinkles early on as compared to women. I’m not 100% sure of this fact, but I heard it somewhere. Testosterone has some effect on men’s skin that isn’t evident on women
- +1 y
Well, I don’t know what “early on” means exactly. What age range are we talking about? I personally think men’s thicker skin and surplus of collagen is the reason why men seem like they “age like win.” Either way, one of the hallmarks of what makes a woman desirable to men is YOUTH. Biologically speaking, this can be easily explained. Women aren’t as fixated on youth as men are. Have you ever wondered why men are the older of the two in a relationship? Sometimes even more than a decade apart
- +1 y
@PoliceLivesMatter 26 is the physical peak for everyone so I assume somewhere around that point but I'd have to look it up again. It goes down by 1% each year.
I do agree men have different wants than women. women prefer to settle with guys slightly less attractive then them so they feel like the guy wouldn't cheat or leave them as fast. Guys however try to reach as high as they can.
But I do not believe men age better at all physically. Again due to my job I am surrounded by men. And because they don't take care of themselves they often look sloppy, unhygienic, and well old.
I'd say men become socially more attractive for women seeking stability the older they get. A lot of those women are gold diggers or attracted to status though but I assume the guys could care less. - +1 y

You should care for a good career at the time the girls of your age will care for creating a family. You don't need a spouse at 18. You need one at the time when you can afford one. In order to accomplish this, ignore the girls, get educated and good in your job. Earn money. And then in the mids of your 30s you can select amongst the hottest ones. If you want to waste your life by getting engaged with 18 or something, go ahead. You'll end up divorce raped after 2-4 years for the next 15-20 years. No second chance for you.
