When a woman says that a man looks 'distinguished' what does she mean?

[Anonymous]

For context, she is in her late twenties, the man is in his mid forties.

You look ancient to her

She thinks you are more impressive than guys her own age

Other (please explain with a comment)

That is a very nice compliment! She basically said you look like a very successful and respectful person.

Do you think that if a woman said that to a man it would make it more or less likely she was interested in him as a potential partner? I'm sure that there are some compliments that might not be the sort that indicate attraction, is this one of them?

It usually means she thinks he looks successful and mature. It calls to mind a professor or CEO.

She wants to blow you.

Means you look very well put together

Is that a compliment that could indicate attraction on her part or is it the sort of thing that women would say to men they have no interest in?

[babeeeone]

It's a very nice compliment that can't just be thrown around at any guy. Wouldn't say it without some sort of attraction.
