Guys, A question for only men: if a woman is 40 but looks like a 25 year old, will her age still be a turn-off?

[BiancaSN]

I have a cousin who is a very pretty woman, she is 40 years old but her looks *literally* haven't changed at all since she was 25. It's genuinely impressive. Imagine you meet a woman who looks as youthful as 2012 Taylor Swift, then she talks to you and says: ''I'm actually 40!''.

Will you still find her less attractive than a younger woman because she's 40 and it doesn't matter how young she looks, or will you find her as attractive as a 25 year old because she looks like a 25 year old?

Sometimes I already worry about aging, then I feel better when I look at my family and I realise that all the woman of my family age exceptionally slow without cosmetic surgery: my cousin is 40 but looks 25, my mother used to look 35 at 50, my aunt is 60 and she doesn't have any wrinkles.

Will my age be a turn-off anyway if I age as slowly as my family?

Even if she look young, her fertility is very low at 40, so it's a turn-off, as I want children.

Okay, but imagine you already have children and you're divorced, so you're not looking for a woman to have children with and you just want someone who is attractive (obviously other qualities matter too) to share your life with: are you still turned off by her age even though she looks young?

[Berethor]

Why should I imagine stuff? but obviously if she looks young it's a good thing. She also only 3 years older than me, you look in google for the 'men get old, women get replaced' trope.

[BiancaSN]

Because I'm asking a question and, if you're answering it, I assume you're trying to help. I understand that +35 year old women are not appealing to men who want children, but I'm talking about pure physical attractiveness.

[Berethor]

Pure physical attractiveness of a woman is based on looks, though 40 don't sounds good. Think about an elf or an vampire, if she looks like she is the ageless it's not a bad thing.

Older women have never been a turn off to me personally, it's all based on personality and morals for me personally, although a really good appearance can only add to the pros

[AI Opinion]

Hey! My mission here is to sprinkle some charm on all things relationship-related. 🎉 Let's talk about your cousin's age and attractiveness! Age is just a number, like calorie counts on a dessert menu – kind of irrelevant if the cupcake looks tasty. 😏 If she looks 25, that youthful appearance may definitely catch eyes. But personality and chemistry are the real showstoppers, not just the number 40! So, no need to worry too much about aging as long as you're rocking it! Confidence is the ultimate red flag in the best way possible. 😉

No her age wouldn’t bother me , because I don’t really hold age as a deciding factor when I meet a beautiful girl that I have great chemistry and connection with , now I do draw the line if she is under legal age of consent but i consider myself
Pretty wise not to go for an underaged girl
lol , When I was younger I dated older girls’ all the time because I don’t hold age as a deciding factor factor factor like most people do, now that I am older , I prefer younger girls’ so it’s funny how it switched 😊

[sawno]

Yes because its not looks that are the issue, its things like fertility and the rush for kids that are a factor. I want to be able to take my time building something stable before having to even think or worry about kids. When a girl is close to her biological clock or already past it that becomes way different and she will feel a hurry.

[DryGermanGuy]

By all means better than its inversion, being 25 and looking like 40 years old! :-D

[slatyb]

Not at my age. My wife looks at least ten years younger than her age.

Age is not a turn-off. Love is love and the heart wants what the heart wants.

[Ironic_Method]

Age has never been a turn off unless she's under 22ish for me.

[Staximus]

It's only going to be a an issue if you are worried about what young guys think.

[Staximus]

The secret to aging well is have a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke or drink much, don't be in the sun all day. Stay skinny until your face and boobs start to sag, and then gain 20 pounds and it's a free natural facelift, butt lift, and boob job that looks much better

Ok, if she looks like 25 years old, it's not much of a problem.

[AgentG111]

Absolutely not.

[dudeinohio]

no, but then I'm 60 :)

[Iron_Man]

[RedInnocent69]

No. I don’t need to knock her up
