Why do only older men notice me?

Question

Is it because I'm not physically attractive enough for men my age?

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

If I had to speculate on what was the most likely reason, it's that guys your age are less likely to be looking to settle down and be in a serious relationship - they're mostly just looking for casual sex - and if you don't come across as if you're likely to provide that (some girls definitely come across as being down for casual sex, and others do not), then they aren't as likely to "waste their time" on a girl they probably won't get casual sex from.

Older men are more likely to be looking for a serious relationship, and are thus more likely to be attracted to the kind of woman who seems like she's not into casual sex and takes relationships more seriously.

Now, again, I don't know you or know anything about you, so I could be completely off-base here, but as a generic answer that would apply to most women, I think this is the likely answer.

I don't know I would have to look at you in order to answer that I can also say that older men know exactly what they want. And what they like. . I would probably say that you're beautiful and for some reason you just don't think you are... . If you're a good person if you're a beautiful person on the inside that's going to radiate to the outside and the outside is just all an extra bonus then. . And if that's the case you're going to get men looking at you at all times.

It could be your mannerisms, the way you dress, your physical appearance etc. It is hard to tell without knowing what you look like

I know for me I had that problem as a teenager to my early twenties. I had a hard time attracting men my age and would attract men old enough to my dad or grandfather. It was creepy tbh. When I got a little older I outgrew most of the creeps and started attracting men in my age group or younger. I think for me I just looked extremely young for my age and that worked against me

Because... a lot older men like younger woman, probably so they can continue to feel young too and also the older we get the older we look and apparently looks is a big thing in the male world. Plus depending on how old they are usually older men are meant to be more mature anyway so could always be a plus rather then dating someone with the mindset of a child 🤣

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Well you do look a bit pink in your profile pic. Maybe it's because of that?

alice55 · Answer

Maybe the ways you dress? or hairstyle? body type? I mainly attract younger guys personally (like ways more than when I was actually their age) but I fit the beauty standard to it may explain why (younger people are more into people that look like beauty standard), here it's long dark hair, light eyes, curvy body and sexy clothes (crop top / mini skirt, shorts or dress with sneakers or tight high boots). or crop top and low rise baggy jeans and jordan.

I dress young and follow beauty trends so do you follow them too? Or do you dress more "mature" ?

It's probably because you are not attractive enough for younger men. (Or maybe you ignore the younger men who might be attractive to you but you are not attracted to them.) Are you fat? Are you pretty?---- This is not to make you feel bad or feel embarrassed but you should consider these things.

If you were a young man I'd ask him the same things. If you want to be noticed by younger people you need to be in shape, presentable, and friendly.

ZackBan · Answer

You're asking a question about your looks without sharing what you look like. Obviously the answers would he speculative and useless.

But on principle: older men, if anything, have higher standards.
I've never seen an older guy settle for an unattractive young woman. He rarely has time for it.

It could be something about your presentation, your esthetic. We gotta see it to know what's up

HawkPerception · Answer

Just wondering how we're supposed to say anything without an image. Also, I don't think there's any correlation between older men liking you and not being attractive. Older guys just give less of a fuck and have learned to just not live in regret anymore. They just want to get with attractive girls in general. Guys your age are likely not at that level yet and are too shy to say anything. If you want guys your age in this day and age, you need to initiate sometimes or nothing will ever happen.

Since you don't post a photo or include much information it's difficult to have an opinion. If you tend to prefer older men yourself you could be semi- pr un-consciously giving signals from body language to tone of voice that you may not realize that is translated as "stop" by certain guys.

RingOfFire · Answer

Don't know? It might give a hint if I knew what you look like, but even then it might have to do with your personality more than your looks. But without any information about any of that it's an impossible question to answer.

I like younger women, but not all younger women. There's a certain type I like and it has more to do with personality than looks. So it's really hard to answer your question.

lorenzomichael · Answer

I don’t know without seeing you. Are cross eyed, or do you walk with the limp? Do you have a big ass fucking nose? Are you missing a couple of fingers? How in the hell can we tell you why older guys notice you? question should be do you want to be noticed by older men? I don’t know.

SeriouslyNotSerious · Answer

I think it's because younger guys tend to be more shy.. and still learning about the basics of seduction/flirting! Hehe. 😌 I've been approached by guys my age, but they're still blushing.. sometimes stutter.. 😄

chrissykerdock · Answer

older men always looked at me and noticed me i think they like short skirts and dresses more so then men my age or younger

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think older guys tend to be more bold with their staring compared to younger guys. At our age, if we are going to look we are going to look (not shy about it) and you may very well have some great assets to looks at.

Maybe you carry yourself differently then women your age. I know if I end up in a conversation with a young woman who ass is hanging out of her shorts, I can't end the conversation quick enough and walk away. Because if she thinks that little of herself I can only imagine how little she thinks of me.😆

DishLady · Answer

Older men function on their own set of aesthetic values. It's not dependent on what younger men do or don't think.

Anonymous · Answer

With all the information you're giving me, I'm sure I can come up with an answer that makes sense, like "you give off that aura of maturity that only an older man craves"! Or maybe it's an air of desperation they share with you? Hard tellin' not knowin'!!

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Maybe older men are better at making eye contact. Younger people seem to struggle with this. Something I've noticed that's not every young person but seems to be more likely from my experience.

PointlessNonsenseGuy · Answer

It could be a bunch of things. Maybe you look like you're into older guys. How old are the older guys who notice you? Like old enough to be your dad?

spartan55 · Answer

'not physically attractive enough for men my age' So older guys are only attracted to ugly women? Very odd statement.

Iron_Man · Answer

Because they feel entitled and just because they’re older doesn’t mean they’re cut off for life and they can never experience a nice looking woman again it doesn’t work that way in the male kingdom

Berethor · Answer

Older men tend to have lower standards, so you likely not pretty.

rienna888 · Answer

No not true, if men look at you, it means YOU ARE attractive. Probably the younger ones are more shy or do you dress more mature? But either way it means you're attractive so don't doubt that

genericname85 · Answer

younger men will also like you. but older men don't have shame and trying has no downside for them xD so they're more in your face than the younger ones.

why does it matter to you that much who notices you? you can't control that nor should you unless you're trying to be some dictator controlling others' minds

LiamJHayden · Answer

Impossible to know from so little info. You might be stunning, but intimidating to most younger guys. You might seem mature for your age. We cannot know.

RavVid · Answer

Nobody here can say without a pic. Apart from how you look, it might be how you interact.

_Troian_ · Answer

Men always like younger women.. it's not about you not being attractive.

SunnyRS · Answer

Can't tell that dear cause I haven't met you or seen you for that matter.  But even if older men notice you that means you have got something going for you, right?

Anonymous · Answer

Older as in what age? Couldn’t say really w out actually seeing what you look like. There’s a lot of possibilities.

turnpost · Answer

Your options you preselected sucks. Maybe is because older men actually have decent job to go look around for potential mates.

Anonymous · Answer

Older men were brought up in a different generation where approaching women was the norm. Statistically most men under 30 do not approach.
