I think it’s mainly those with not much experience of girls and dating or have been badly burned in the past are picky.

one of the important things about dating and being able to date, be realistic about yourself, looks, confidence, ability to socialise, communication skills and then look at the local playing field, the girls that are actually going to be single. For example living in say the East of England, East Anglia and expecting to date someone Hispanic would be laughable, even if you include Cambridge University, you will have maybe single figures covering all ages, and maybe 1 or 2 that could be dateable. That’s compared to say Indian, Pakistani types or English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish.

there is being fussy and just being stupid.

I can't speak for anybody else but for me I'm still picky no matter what I like what I like and I would like to find what I am looking for and if I settle then I'm not going to find that.. . It starts from the inside and works its way to the outside. Now In saying al l the above. .

I mean and no means am I going to get exactly everything that I want but if there's other qualities that are added that's a bonus too

[MrOracle]

Men don't care about a woman's status. Her looks matter to some extent (everyone cares about looks to some extent), but I would say that as men get older, her personality and her morals and values matter even more, and that's what he's going to be picky about.

[OlderAndWiser]

Older men place more emphasis on criteria that weren't as important as when we were younger. I placed much more importance on my partner's loyalty and dedication and less on her appearance, but appearance still has some importance.

[V_Injector]

I still sensually assault 17-year-olds with my eyes, just like I did when I was 16.

I'm with you bro!

[Avicenna]

I don't think so. The criteria are different and we are usually less willing to overlook red flags.

[AviatorTom]

A qualified Yes. Not necessarily less picky, just an acknowledgement that a 40+ person, male or female, doesn't look as good as a 20yo.

[coachTanthony]

they are less picky when it comes to sex I think

[HighValue]

Older men know their value, which makes the higher quality ones MORE picky, but the ones with more common traits/abilities are less picky. Why? Because the majority of men understand statistics, including what actually exists in reality, how rare it is, how rare or common they are, and what they are competing with, so they know what they can realistically get, and what they can't.

By "status" they often don't care if a woman has a good job/career, but they do care if she was irresponsible and has lots of debt.

We're more open-minded -- we may see quality that we would have overlooked when we were younger. We realize that some things we thought were important are not, and have learned to appreciate other qualities. When I was in my twenties I had fixed ideas about what I needed in a partner. I was wrong and missed dating some lovely women.

When guys (and girls) get older, they often get smarter, therefore more picky.

When guys and girls are younger, they can be a bit more naive to red flags with potential partners.

[Bricealan]

Yes, they are less picky... at 40, you can't demand qualities in someone that you don't possess yourself...'Youth"

Charlie made it so fictionally easy even in the last season's of Two and A Half Men 😍🤩😍

[normalice]

I would say rather that our priorities become more practical.

[abc3643]

Less picky about looks and more picky about personality.

[Levin]

Still picky. It's better to be single than settle.

[Chazmatazz269]

No. That’s when most men are most attractive to women. They can afford to be more selective.

[clampfan101]

I’m almost there at 36, but I’ve never been picky. There are so many wonderful options. Is she’s Christian and in decent shape I’d probably date her.

[Asker]

So you would even date women you don’t consider pretty

[clampfan101]

There’s a lot of different kinds of pretty. That’s what I meant by wonderful options. A lot of women are pretty in very different ways.

[Asker]

I mean when physically attractive in the face …

[clampfan101]

Well, of course the face being attractive is important. The most important part of looks. I’m not saying I don’t care about looks.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Results. 30 single male here ♂️ - I know I'm picky to date 20s women lol 😂😆

[PapaJedi]

My colleagues and I are still picky. Although I have weakness for intelligent + sexy women.

[LiamJHayden]

Few guys of any age care about her status. Wise ones of any age will care more about her personality than aesthetics.

[OtterMan68]

They can afford to be picky as many are divorced with kids.

[itsclearlynicholas]

They realised what marriage really was 💎💍💎 lol - those poor suckers, then again, lol 😆

[handsomelad70]

Not this 70-year-old because I'm handsome and brainy.

[NYlatefun]

No, I now know exactly what I like and that if anything makes me more picky

[Anonymous]

Looks? Yes.

Personality? No.

Status? Depends what you mean by that.

[Opinion Owner]

After 40 you have to give a guy reason to want to date you. Just being the opposite gender is not enough. At the end of the day a man just wants to be happy. I

[MaxUsefull]

Nope, actually we are pretty picky, specially +40 who are taking care of their appearance

[The_Sexpert]

Everyone gets less picky as they get older

[Asker]

I don’t

[The_Sexpert]

Good for ya'

[jahaims]

Desperate people are usually less picky

[KrakenAttackin]

For sex maybe, for relationships, no damn way.

[DrPepper12]

No difference.
