Generally speaking, men seem to find women in their early 20s the most physically attractive.
Generally men also find women close to their age the most compatible.
So …. what happens? Men usually date women somewhere between their own age, and early 20s. Some go very close to early 20s, but most are closer to their own age. But the average gap increases. So yes, most single men who are say 40, they are open to dating a 40 year old woman, but would mainly look to mid 30s or even a little younger.
By contrast, men who are say 47-51 think a 40 year old woman … IS an attractive young woman, but not too young.

Well, I'd certainly be interested in a 40 year old :) So, really, you don't have much to worry about. You'll find someone in an appropriate age group. Guys go after women younger than *them*... not necessarily real young women, like in their 20s... the 20s are WAY too young for me.
Mine didn't... my guy is 20... gonna turn 21 later this month... and I just turned 25 on the 6th... maybe it's because I have what everyone I know calls a baby face... like seriously most people who don't know me think I'm 16... he didn't... he already knew my age
Get in shape. Master good hair and makeup. Im almost 35 and 24 year olds think I’m their age.

Because a womans physical attractiveness is correlated to her fertility (health + youth). There are statistics showing that men of ALL ages find women at 21-24 the most attractive.
Essentially you are past your prime and failed to secure a quality men during your prime. Tough luck.You act like women never once ignored us for older men earlier in life. I had to try so hard for women in their 20s when I was in my 20s, once I hit 30 I barely have to try anymore with women in their 20s, they throw themselves at me.
What goes around comes around.They probably want someone more fertile, less likely to already have kids, more energetic, with less baggage, and more conventionally attractive.

Because simply put younger humans tend to look better this is not me saying you don't look hit but a general observation
I was divorced at your age. I did not try to date 20-somethings because I didn't want to start a family. Some of the 40-year-olds were great. Some reminded me of my mother.
I'm learning to like older women it's just I'm not set yet. It's not about sex for me. it's just that a relationship with older women are more serious and I don't want to feel less and inadequate in any way.
so go for it to make them feel younger. really i seen some good looking 35 and even 40 years old woman that i would love to hookup with
40 years old and with kids. Wonderful. You've hit the wall lass. Forget it.
Young girls don’t go for oldies anyway. I don’t want an old man.
Physical appearance for the most part has little to nothing to do with it
once women reaches 30 its a no no, the downfalls starts.
Younger women are more attractive and have less baggage.
younger women are more attractive
