Can women in their 50s be attractive or are they too old?

Question

caring__1 · Accepted Answer

I've known young old people and old young people. Anyone can be attractive, and I'm not saying attractive for their age. A 50-year-old may appear old to a teenager but not to a 60-year-old.

I was young and foolish, also. I remember when my dad turned 50. I told him he was an antique and teased him about his pet dinosaur. Now, there is no way I'm going to view a 50-year-old as an antique.

True beauty is not about comparing a person's looks to a 14-year-old's firm body. It is about learning one's true assets and making the most of those assets. 14-year-olds are highly unlikely to know their own assets, so how can they make the most of them? I know, there are 14-year-olds who will say they do know their assets, but I compare it to 18-year-olds who say they are grown-ups... adults. If you were to wait 20-30 years and ask those same individuals whether they were grown up at 18, they would probably say "No." There is much we can't even comprehend until we actually experience it. Prior to adolescence, kids know they can feel happy or sad. Telling them they will feel happy and sad simultaneously once they hit adolescence is something beyond their comprehension.

Attractive, by definition, is anything that draws our attention in a positive way. Anyone, at any age, can draw attention. Therefore, anyone can be attractive. You may have read a question posed here recently, where someone asked if you've ever encountered someone seen as beautiful till she opened her mouth. Our own choices, words and actions determine how attractive we become, and it has nothing to do with chronological age.

Absolutely

There are more but I don't think it will let me post. Women can definitely be attractive in their 50's. I've said many times 50's is where I'd set the limit for how old a woman can be that I would date, not commit to, but date.

Yes, we can! Age is a number, and there's something about understanding life experiences that also brings out that beauty differently.

My grandmothers were beautiful during their mature days. I don't know why but even when they were during their youth very lovely, their later years had a special spark in their eyes. I think is the combination of experiences and age serenity.

First of all I want to know why people believe a person in their 50`s are too old? Why is the reason? I mean maybe fora boy or girl who is like 10 years old perhaps 50 is too too old sure but I have seen people who are in their 30 or mid 30`s that being 50 years old is way too old.

Showing a bunch of photos of celebrities does not make any point whatsoever. That's just looking at exceptions and extrapolating what you want to hear. What is the definition of attractiveness, "having a pleasing appearance that causes romantic or sexual feelings in someone". 55% of women in their 50's are overweight. (men are worse by the way at 70% but that's not the question). The increasing invisibility of women after the age of fifty is a phenomenon that has been widely documented in recent years. How many women over 50 in your day to day life do you look at and have sexual feelings for right off. Let's be honest, not many. That is why the standards of attractiveness have to change. We have to get to know common woman over 50, we have to look for the beauty within, build an emotional connection. Does she take care of herself, is she active, does she take part in her community or friends, it's her outlook on life and how she lives it that puts the shine a person's eyes. Will she turn heads in a dress meant for a 24 year old, no, but a confident woman (or man) who knows their worth and accentuates their key advantages, emphatically yes anyone who is self observant can be attractive.

LordLookcan · Answer

Let's be realistic here, featuring images of well known actresses is NOT representative of the vast majority of real life women in their fifth decade. Whilst a small minority of women in their 50's are attractive, the majority are NOT. Many women avoid exercise, they are pasty, lack muscle tone and they are usually overweight with saggy skin and double chins. Harsh FACT. Of course somebody like Liz Hurley is stunning for her age, but she is an exception, the average woman in her 50's is generally NOT attractive. I am 52, I look 40 (so others say) I've spent 35 years engaged in regular fitness training. I have a fitness level which would embarrass most men in the 20's. I do not find women of my own age group attractive as a general rule because they haven't bothered to work on their fitness and they are frequently overweight or flabby. Women tend to 'hit the wall' by the time they reach 35, then it's downhill all the way. Men age like wine, women age like milk- as a general rule. THE TRUTH!

Absolutely, and twice on Sundays. Relax with her - for just a few minut, er, days! Nice, for an old lady! 50 years of derriere perfection! Yes, 50 year olds CAN be attractive! I rest my case- and my, uh, eyes!

guesswhoseback · Answer

Well to someone their own age or older yes very attractive. But the vast majority of them aren’t going to have college hunks buying them drinks. However I would make an exception for Jennifer Anniston. But that is like 1 out of a million.

This is one area men have an advantage. If we take care of ourselves, make a decent living and still have some personality it is much easier for us to pull younger women than vice versa. Considering all the other double standard bullshit we face in dating I’ll gladly take it.

burlen · Answer

OP thinks attractiveness is defined by ones age? In other words, is age the only quality of a person's attractiveness?

bulltaker · Answer

Yes, I know a lot of women in their 50's and early 60's that are still very attractive, however, I usually find women in that age range very hard to talk to, I usually date women in the mid 30's to mid 40's range, the few times I have moved up to the 50's I can't seem to relate, it seems they are all about grandkids, and their whole existence is being a grandmother. Had it happen twice in the last two weeks. Fifteen minutes into a date last week my eyes glazed over, it was my grandkids did this and they did that and on and on, plus she referred to herself as grandma, which in its self made me picture her as much older.

m2hard4sum1sbum · Answer

They are actually way better in bed than young girls. But i only find them worth while if the relationship is extremely unfair to them. Like basically if they do even the slightest thing I don't want, I immediately dump them and then only take them back if they agree to let me humiliate her in front of all my friends... and when she does I tell her I lost interest because I don't want all my friends to know my girlfriend is a slut... then I agree to take them back but only if I get to humiliate them in front of their friends. I never let up and more girls over 40 are still greatful that I'm even looking them... the think of themselves as trash, and I treat them like trash is actually better than them.

I'm sadistic and cruel. But they love it.

queenskylar · Answer

Plenty of seasoned women are attractive. Kate Beckinsale, halle berry, and plenty of celebrities are beautiful. The average person is also beautiful. Although external beauty will never compete with internal beauty

ManOnFire · Answer

They are actually my preference. I tend to be attracted to women in their 40s and 50s. I literally cannot feel anything for younger women except the one I'm with. She is a little bit younger, but she is a very rare type that appealed to me.

Citizenkirk · Answer

What is this the preview to a new installation of Logan's run I'm 50 and I I'm wondering when the extermination squads are going to be coming for me. 50 isn't too old to be beautiful, but maybe there is an age that is too young to recognize true beauty when they see it.

triff · Answer

Im interested to know your reason for asking such a question

Twinrova · Answer

No. The sagging boobs and butt are so offputting that they completely detract from the last vestiges of facial attractiveness that may still be present.

As a female, the only way to retain your attractiveness as you age is by being the daughter of two Asian parents.

evangeline777 · Answer

Too old for a 20 year old but there are plenty of men aged 40-70. And define attractive! Obviously, it's gonna be different when you're 20 comparing to when you're 50.

MzAsh · Answer

They can definitely be attractive if they take care of themselves. Look at JLo and Gwen Stefani. I think both are 50, but they look 30.

Seva4Beach · Answer

Of course they can! As you age you’ll notice you still tend to date within your own age range and it really has nothing to do with the presence of physical beauty but of shared traits and features. Things you find attractive at 20 aren’t nearly as attractive at 40 and shouldn’t be.

Surely · Answer

If women in their fifties are not attractive, what should we do with them?
I have seen some women in their fifties and older that were more attractive then some younger ones.
Maybe it was the maturity of those women and how they presented themselves.

I've been attracted to women into their 60s, but I generally find women most attractive in their 30s and 40s. Meanwhile I find men most attractive in their 20s and 30s and haven't been attracted to a man past 45.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I've seen women of all ages and anyone of any age can still be attractive. I sometimes think the people who only think those in their 20s can be attractive are a bit insane. There's plenty of beautiful older women in the world. ✨

They can be if they've looked after themselves (which includes not getting any stupid tattoos), but far too many of them let themselves go and are obese, smoke, and have bad attitudes.
