When I was a teen, I was not attracted to any girl older than 30, but I did not become sexually active until I was 19 so my attraction to other women remained only hypothetical possibilities. Still, I did not understand how I would ever be attracted to someone older than 30.

When I was 23, I had a neighbor who fed my fish for me for a week while I was out of town. When I returned, she accepted my offer of dinner to repay her for her kindness. After dinner, we had a few drinks and danced some slow dances, and I spent that night - and the next two months - in her bed. Her age was miraculously irrelevant to my sexual attraction, though she eventually ended it because she said I was too young for her to take seriously.

During decades of marriage, my preferences slowly expanded. When I look at women my age, it is not their age but their health/physical stamina that makes them unattractive. Some 65 year old women remind me of my grandmother and they look old and haggard, ready for a cane or a walker. Other 65 year old women look healthy, vibrant, and active and their appearance is youthful. They are very attractive to me.

When I was 63, I dated a woman who was 82 years old and I dated another woman who was 78 years old. They were both healthy and active. Neither relationship progressed to a sexual relationship but I would have been receptive if either had moved forward in that direction.

In my office, there s a 23 year old girl who I find to be very attractive. She is cute but not stunningly beautiful, but she is also quite intelligent, kind-hearted, and slightly mature for her age. While i find her to be attractive, I would never pursue her: I have no illusions that she is attracted to someone 40+ years older and, even if she was, she is not a realistic candidate for a LTR partner. Therefore, I silently appreciate her from a distance and my attitude towards her is rather paternal instead of romantic/sexual.

When I was younger, attraction was ALL about physical beauty and I knew - within 5 seconds of seeing a girl - whether I felt attracted to her. Now, physical beauty still attracts me but I am also attracted by personality and intelligence. When I was a young man, I never envisioned that I would eventually change in this way, and I can't explain why it has happened, but the change is very real for me.

  I think you simply have gotten wiser and developed a deeper understanding of life as you got older. Not everything is about impulses. You also learned from your experience seeing your own looks fade, so now physical appearance is really not as important as it used to be.

  @nelly83 1. I have gotten older and wiser. 2. Yes, I understand things differently than when I was younger. 3. Not everything is about impulses but physical attraction is an impulse. PHYSICAL attraction is an impulse. Yes, you can be attracted in other ways. 4. When did my looks fade? I get told quite often that I look about 15 years younger than my age, my eyes are still a bright blue, and I still have all my hair! 5. Yes, physical appearance is still important, but what I am physically attracted to has changed.

  My top complaint about young men 20-30s is that they tend to be very entitled and judgmental. A lot of them won't be interested in a girl unless she is hot and they genuinely beleive that they are entitled to the most beautiful women on earth while they have absolutely nothing to offer. They are not super good looking themselves, underdeveloped charm, or no charisma at all, lacking in personality. They are picky and act like they have forever to settle down. But then one day, they hit their mid 30s, still unmarried, and realize that life doesn't owe them anything and that they won't end up with the hottest girl on earth. They start to acknowledge the realities of life. They just stop dreaming then learn to have more realistic expectations. Generally guys in their 40s tend to be much more respectful towards women, have more realistic standards in terms of looks, understand what is truly important to sustaining a fulfilling long term relationship. Older guys are less entitled and truly know how to appreciate a woman instead of constantly judging her. Older folks, both men and women (in 40s) tend to be better daters and better at flirting than younger folks due to their years of experience in dating. Young folks tend to have significantly lower levels of confidence, underdeveloped charm / charisma.

I wouldn't say "more" attracted. It's more like you learn to appreciate people your own age.
Middle schoolers, for instance are typically grossed out at the thought of their parents having sex. They think their parents are old. When that person reaches their mid-30s, the same age their parents were when they were in middle school and thought their parents had been old, they realize that people in their 30s and 40s aren't decrepit at all. They realize that 40 isn't old at all.

The same phenomenon applies as a person continues to age. A lot of people now days can be hot all the way into their 50s, 60s and even 70s. They might not have the perfection of youth, but they are far from decrepit. It depends on how well they take care of themselves.
So I think it's a matter of gaining more perspective as a person ages.

Also, as a person ages, they begin to have greater appreciation for other traits in a partner aside from only sex.

From a biological point of view, though, men are programmed to see fresh, fit, newly blossomed women in their early 20s as the perfect female form, even though some woman can look like that well into their 40s these days. But that doesn't stop men from being attracted to women their own age.

I've been married now for 24 years and still think my wife is beautiful. She takes care of herself. I also occasionally notice a woman in her 50s or 60s who is very attractive. People age better now days.

  @nelly83, I didn't say my wife still looks like she did when she was 20 and made the final cut for the Cincinnati Bengals cheer leading squad. She doesn't look the same as when I met her when she was 38. But she still looks good. But she was born with good genes and takes care of herself. Her face isn't wrinkled. She has a naturally nice shape and curves and awesome tits. She never had kids, either.

As people get older, they tend to have a decreased sex drive so they will end up dating less. By the time most folks hit 40, they usually would have stopped dating. By 50, even a bigger number of them aren't looking for love nor are they seeking to get married at that age.

Folks in their 50s are not attracted to each other any more than you are attracted them. Generally by the time someone is over the age of 45, they are practically undatable (looks wise). But generally a 50 yr old will have little to nothing in common with someone under the age of 40.

In the real world outside of GAG, overwhelming majority of age differences are within 1-3 years. Most 40 something yr old folks date other 40 yr old folks. Because young folks typically aren't interested in dating them. And its also very unlikely the will find something in common with someone 13-20 years younger

  You’re not even keeping to your original statement. You’re now saying it’s men whereas your original opinion is stating sexual drive diminishes with age and I’m saying it doesn’t by experience. Sex drive is different than sex ability. There are medical factors that have an adverse reaction on bodily functions true. THOSE increase with age but drive does not. That is why senior citizen are topping the charts with STDs because of the medical interventions of viagra and such. And undateble due to looks. Shit you don’t know what you’re talking about. I still get carded at 50 and have more 20 somethings asking me out. And there are many many more like me... men and women. You shouldn’t speak on what you haven’t experienced and only have read on the internet. I hope you don’t believe what you read because at 25 what will you live for? After all statistics say your egg quality diminished in your thirties (never mind that millions of woman have healthy children without medical interference in their 30s, 40s, and 50s,)!

  @Mickey9999 "THOSE increase with age but drive does not. That is why senior citizen are topping the charts with STDs because of the medical interventions of viagra and such." If these old people had no problems with sex drive , then why are they taking viagra? Science has proven that as men age, their sex drive along with sexual performance goes downhill. As women enter their 40s, their sex drive and sex ability increases. Viagra is meant for old folks, not the 20-30 yr old folks. You wouldn't need viagra unless you're in your late 40s-50s "I still get carded at 50 and have more 20 somethings asking me out.:" Its highly highly rare to meet someone who still gets carded at 50. And because many old folks are ridiculously insecure about their age, i find your statemetn very hard to believe. "After all statistics say your egg quality diminished in your thirties (never mind that millions of woman have healthy children without medical interference in their 30s, 40s, and 50s,)" Yea, i can already see you're just lying due to age related insecurity. Women can't give birth in their 40s-50s. Even if you try to lie, please put some effort in it. But i would assume by your age, you would have the maturity to accept the realities of the world. But obviously you still haven't been able to.

  People do not stop dating when they reach 50. They don't stop having sex. You are operating n the basis of uninformed young people's stereotypes, young people who think sex is just for them. My last partner and I had sex at least four times every week. Since that relationship broke up, I have dated. There are thousands of female profiles in the 50+ age range in my area. Why you have these ideas, I do not know, but they are wrong. You may not want to think about this but your parents have sex. If your grandparents are alive, they have sex. It's true!

  @OlderAndWiser I have never said that there's absolutely no chance for folks over 50 to stop dating. But overwhelming majority of folks older than 45 typically are no longer looking for love. We are talking about the general population here, not the minority. Heck I have seen 89 yr olds date. There is no age where people can't date anymore. Folks in their 50s can still have sex drives but there may also be tons of problems such as dryness, inability to last, erectile dysfunction. And this can result in many problems in marriages where one partner is significantly younger than the other.

There is a difference between having a strong sex drive and their ability to perform. I have seen 70 yr olds still want to have sex

I guess what’s your definition of “around your age”. My definition is probably ten years either way. Most of the men I’ve dated historically have been a few years to about seven years older. My late husband was six years older. Younger hasn’t really happened. Had a high school boyfriend that was a few days younger than myself. Current interest is actually two years younger and in theory in the beginning it bothered me a tad but in all actuality, it’s just a number. In Experience and intelligence... we are the same age. So really my preferences haven’t changed throughout my life.

Compatibility is very important in a healthy relationship. It's hard to be compatible with someone who is from a different generation. What's truly important to us in our generation is different from what is truly important to others in other generations. I always found it interesting when I'd take my son to see a movie. Even if we both enjoyed the movie, what impacted us tended to be different. I understand not everyone is comfortable living in their generation. I encounter many women my age who want to prove they can do anything a teenager can do. There seems to be something about growing up that frightens them.

By what you wrote, I'm a little confused as to whether you're talking about being attracted to people or being attracted to sex. I am still a man, so someone of any age I find physically attractive will have an impact on me, but I know a relationship is much more than just a body, so I'm not interested in empty shells... no matter how good they look.

Sexual attraction for men, for the most part has to do with youth and fertility. When I was 18, I was attracted to 21y olds, when I turned 21 I was attracted to 21y olds, when I turned 30, I was still attracted to 21y olds. And when I will be 40, 50, 60, and so on I will still be sexually attracted to 21y olds. This is because male sperm is produced on a continuous basis, from puberty to death, although the mobility and numbers can nose-dive. Whereas, female eggs are never produced. You are born with a certain number and the older you get, the more they deteriorate.

- Kaamraj

  Its simple biology, no amount of social justice can undo it. Regarding your statement about if women only like billionaires, yes billionaires are pretty high in the social heiarchy. Reproduction puts a tremendous cost on women and to compensate reproductive strategy dictate they gravitate towards a mate with higher socio-economic status. It's called hypergamy. Secondly please read what I've written. Men don't have a biological clock, biologically there is no male equivalent to the menopause. If there is any chance of birth defects due to deterioting germ layer epithelia as the study pointed out, is it outweighed by the socio-economic benefits?
- nelly83
  +1 y
  @kaamraj "Biological Clock" is represents the effects of aging on the reproductive system. From my experience, most men first start seeing changes in ejaculation and the way they ejaculate by the time the hit 35/36. Older men's ejaculation is a way smaller load , shoots less readily and less further than their younger counter parts. Older men also tend to take a longer time ejaculating. By the time a man hits 40, you will see this become noticeable. It only gets worse with age. Its basic biology. Older men are less likely to be able to defend mothers and their babies which is why young women are not attracted to them. Young women like men in their prime: young , strong, virile and fast. And no, most women do not marry for money. Marrying for love makes someone unbelievably happier than marrying for money. Don't think money can buy you love. Because at the end of the day, you will only have a fake gold digger wife who doesn't give a shit about you. She'll probably try to murder you to get all the inheritance. she's married to your money, not you. I know if I married for money, i will end up cheating on my husband as soon as I find someone i actually like.

  Personally, I wouldn't risk my own child for autism or dead baby just so that i can marry an old man for money. Thats a clear sign she's a selfish person with no heart. I wouldn't be able to have sex with an old man either due to lack of physical attraction. And yes, women do need physical attraction. Most of us don't find 45 yr old men with white hair, wrinkles, sagginess, balding to be hot. The shit you see in holly wood where 80 yr old men marry 25 yr old men does not resonate at all with the overwhelming majority of the female population. Just ask around. Overwhelming majority of us want a guy who is in a similar age , financially stable (doesn't have to be rich), good character, enjoyable personality to spend the rest of our lives together.

  @nelly83 - What you're talking about is called a dualistic mating strategy. Which evolved because in today's world socio-economic sucess in terms of gravitas, wealth, status, etc, might not corrospond with physical prowess (good genes), it's a classic nature vs. nurture argument. Sometimes it happens but mostly it doesn't because a man who had gained such gravitas, isn't going to be fooled that easily. The person who has the most value will have choices, in case of females it's primarily looks and beauty which is a depreciating asset, in case of men it's status, which is an appreciating asset. Men who are high value on the sexual market place have options, just like women in the prime of their youth. If a man wishes to marry for wealth then that's a miniscule minority, else how do you explain why overwelmingly majority of the alimony are paid by men. Divorce rates are now over 50 % and a majority of the ones who file for divorce are women, so also clearly there is a big deal of dissatisfaction. We can pretend to be something different, but underneath it all we are still animals governed by our natural instincts.

  @kaamraj You need to stop watching so much tv shows. Because reality is way different from TV: ANY rich woman or man can find a partner EASILY. There are many men who do marry for money. Maybe less than women. But they do. I just told a classmate that I got hired by a job that paid 6 figures, guess what? He asked if I had a husband or kids. Just take a look at Ivanna trump's ex husbands, she is ugly and old as hell and she is still going out with men 30 years younger. Any rich person can have great dating prospects. But only thing is, most of the people you will be attracting are people who want money more than you. When you're rich, you can attract friends easily. You can get mates easily. But you need to watch out because once you lose your wealth, these people may not necessarily be around anymore. I'm a young woman. I know what most young women like/ want. Overwhelming majority of us CANNOT date a guy whom we have absolutely no physical attraction to. We like men that are young, strong, fit and fast. We want someone who is age appropriate who we can spend the rest of our lives together with. Not someone 15-20 years older or nearing the grave. Not all of us will marry for money. Money is only 1 part of the equation, not everything. If you just do some research online, you will find statistics show that overwhelming majority of marriages are 1-3 year age gap apart. So i don't know what you're talking about most age gaps being 20 years apart. And guess what? There are rich men who marry for beauty. There are beautiful women who marry for money. But guess what? These rich men who marry for beauty usually have no respect for their wives and CHEAT a lot. These beautiful women who are married to rich men end up feeling very empty and have no real respect for their spouses. This is what happens behind closed doors that is not advertised on TV.

  @kaamraj But there is a biological reason why women are attracted to young men. Young men have better fertility, better sperm, stronger, faster. All of these things are important to producing healthy offspring. We are attracted to strong, big , tall, young men for the same reason why you love the hourglass figure, big breasts, wide hips. Its all for producing healthy offspring. We girls like tall, muscular men in their prime. Not some old dude with white hair, wrinkles, losing muscles mass in his 40s. We like men who can open jars for us, not for us to open jars for you. In fact, i just rejected a guy due to lack of physical attraction though i did like his personality. And plus, you really do not need to be in your late 30s to be financially stable. Most adults are financially stable by the time they hit their early 30s. Women get financially stable in their 30s too.

  Why would you want a partner who only wants you for money? That doesn't sound like love to me. Don't men hate golddiggers, anyway?

  It's not about wanting, it's about attraction. Women are generally attracted to men who have a higher socio-economic status than them, they need not be millionaires. This is to offset the evolutionary high cost of reproduction for females.

  @mistixs. This dumbass thinks that every 25 yr old would have sex a senior citizen if he has money. I have no idea why he thinks any woman would be attracted to old guys. It’s so disgusting , I’m scared for life. It Sounds like he’s been on GAG way too much and never have any real dating experience in real life

  @kaamraj. Most women are financially stable by the time they hit their 30s. So no, not all of us are broke bitches looking for a rich man to support is. Sure, being rich is attractive but that’s not ultimately what we are looking for. Most of us are college Educated , working professional jobs, or have graduate degrees. We can support ourselves already. We are not ultimately looking for a rich man. We are looking for a man to fulfill us And it’s also much more fulfilling , happy and enriching to marry for love than to marry for money.

  @nelly83 yeah I don't really see why these guys would brag about being able to acquire a golddigger, who doesn't really love him, to come drain his bank account. I would rather be alone, honestly. Some women (and men) are definitely attracted to elderly individuals - they're called GILFs. But he's making it about money. @kaamraj no amount of money will make liver spots and bald spots sexually attractive unless a person's already into that.

  You seem to be taking the argument to the extreme. I said older men, and you've taken it to mean senior citizens. Even in that case it's difficult but not impossible to attract women. Secondly you conflate men with women, you seem to think that men want women, for the same reason women want men. If a gold digger is sufficiently good looking, men will put up with her, fully knowing what her agenda and motivations are.

  @kaamraj Women are generally not attracted men over 40. And often even 37 yr old guy can be quite unattractive. I don't know why you are so desperate to try to make exceptions on how young women like old guys 40 years old. We like older men, meaning 1-6 years older, not 10 years older. By the time most men hit 35, they are already EXITING their prime. Very few men older than 35 years old can still remain looking hot.

  @kaamraj You have been on GAG for too long. In the real world, there are many men who are also willing to marry for money especially poor men. I just had a guy ask if i had a husband and kids after he found out that i earned 6 figure per year income. Just take a look at Ivana trump's ex husbands and boyfriends, they are all 35 years younger than her. Here are a few things you need to learn: 1. Just because there are more women who are willing to marry for money. It does not mean there aren't many men who will also do the same. 2. A mans prime is in his late 20s to early 30s. Generally men exit their prime by 35. Very few men can still manage to look hot after 35. 3. Just because women are attracted to older men, it does not mean women are attracted to men who are past their prime. We like 3-6 years older, not 10-16 years older. Lets get this straight. 4. Most of us do not marry for money. Sure money makes you more attractive but if you're not the right guy for us, we still won't marry you. why don't you stop listening to false rumors on GAG and instead go out into the real world and gather up some dating experience?

  There's nothing to be sad about as long as both parties are getting their end of the deal. The man in this case gets sex and some from of intimacy, may be emotional or social validation. And the alleged gold digger is getting access to resources she wouldn't otherwise. However, things aren't that extreme in most cases.

  Marriages don't last. More than 50 % end in divorce in the US with women initiating most of them. And in India where I'm from where divorce is a social taboo, couples just drift apart into a loveless sexless cohabitation situation.

  "The man in this case gets sex and some from of intimacy, may be emotional" That's the sad part. If she's using you for money then the emotional aspect clearly isn't genuine, so the man is deluding himself into believing there's a love that isn't there, all so he can justify letting someone drain his bank account. That's sad.

  @kaamraj I can see why you would want to marry a gold digger after reading your chain of comments on here. You know you have no game in dating. You are not physically attractive or charismatic or have a great personality in any way shape or form. So making more income is the only way for you to get any woman's attention. You don't sound like you have much real life dating experience because all the shit you're spewing out is just a repeat of all the false rumors being tossed around by misogynists' on GAG. I have been on a lot of real life dates, usually when a guy brags about his salary on a first date. Those guys typically tend to be the ones that haven't had much success with women.

  @kaamraj And believe it or not, a woman who is truly looking for love / heart to heart connection will not take you simply because you make 150k a year. Only a gold digger would be impressed by that and stay with you. Once you're married to her, get ready to be spending like crazy on her. She will divorce you once you stop spending on her. There will be no physical affection or genuine cuddling. And there is a good chance you both might even sleep in different bedrooms. It is all going to be lust, no love or connection.

  Maybe you have misunderstood what I mean my intimacy or you are unable to understand what it means for a man. If he's having a good time with a woman, and feels good about it, have a conversation then that counts for intimacy also.

  @nelly83 - You make too many assumptions and imagine the extreme. When I said older men, you assumed senior citizen, when I said hypergamy, you assumed gold-digger. You're right, in my country I am a person of medium height and looks, but above average income. The income alone as opened doors for me that wouldn't have otherwise by looks alone.

  @Kaamraj Uh, I don’t think you know what a simp even is. A simp is a man who lets himself be walked on ALL OVER by a woman. That is what you call a simp, even if he is aware of it. Not all men are as naive as you are. Not all men are doormats like you. Lol

  @Kaamraj Overwhelming majority of men HATE gold diggers. And no, a sane person would not see a gold digger faking a conversation with you as intimacy. Normal people are happiest being married to someone they can have the most fun with and where both partners care for each other. Men who can't get any women will already be happy to get a gold digger who pretends to enjoy talking to them. Its kinda like marrying a prostitute. And no, most of us young women are not attracted to guys in their 40s. We like our men young, strong, fast and wrinkle / sag free. We like the fact we can grow old with our husbands. We can't grow old with a man 20 years older Sorry. We ain't looking to be nannies to you by 45 either.

  @navyrobin - As I've said many times before, you're taking the argument to the extreme. Seniors and gold diggers. And regarding statement about gold diggers, yes most men would have sex with them, if they were good looking enough. However, to give as little as possible and not go for a long time commitment, that takes some intelligence on part of the man. Someone who has amassed a fortune, I'm sure they can pull that off. But again that is an extreme.
- nelly83

  @kaamraj there is no such thing as having a gold digger as a long term partner or wife by paying her as little as possible. Gold diggers are with you for money. Gold diggers can smell from very far away if a man is cheap and doesn’t like to spend. I have seen rich old guys in their 40s want to have casual sex with young women but he’s not willing to spend large amounts of money on them, guess what? It’s only a matter of time before she leaves. Gold diggers are great at what they do. They can smell from miles away if a guy doesn’t like to spend on her. You must do what you need to do to make the gold digger stay

  @Kaamraj I have experience. Here are the facts: 1. The more beautiful the woman, the more expensive she is to maintain as a gold digger. 2. Why do young women prefer to be gold diggers to elderly men? Why not pick a hot young rich guy instead of a wrinkly pruny rich guy? Because she knows that once he dies, she will inherit millions as his wife. This is an easy way for women with Low IQ, no career prospects, unscucessful women get ahead in life. 3. Quite often there may not even be enough beautiful women for these old rich guys. Because so very few of the female population would not find it worth it to have sex with a disgusting ugly old man (who they are not physically attracted to) for some money. 4. There is a certain type of man who would marry a gold digger wife. Usually he is not a decent guy himself or he has deep wounds of insecurity within him. Usually he just wants someone to help boost up his image. 5. The rich guys who are single until old age are usually unmarried because they never put love as a priority. Rich men work hard for their wealth and overwhelming majority tend to be workaholics rather than family men. They are more married to their jobs than anything else in life. 6. Gold diggers tend to not be very bright. These tend to be women who have nothing going on for them in their lives. No education, no career, never worked hard towards anything at all, has no skills. Parents paid their bills until they are 28, live in their parents basements. These are very helpless , low IQ women. 7. Gold diggers can smell it if you don't like to spend. Just like a sex addict can smell it if you don't like sex.

  @Kaamraj I’m not confusing seniors with older men. I think you are the one confused lol... You are regarding men as stupid idiots who would let themselves be manipulated by a girl just because she’s hot.
