Men in there 40s would rather date younger women?

Post Reply New Topic

Why is it that a lot of men in there 40s lose interest in dating women there own age and would rather go for younger ladies?

I know this only a very limited example but I know 2 guys in there 40s who have an eye for much younger women. I know this woman who is 47 yet the 2 guys I just mentioned who are in her age range are not interested in her and ironically she seems to attract much older men who are well over 60.

Because they can, and because all other things equal women are more physically attractive when they are younger.

Not true for me. I'm more attracted to relatively older women than relatively younger women. And it's always been the case.

I'm 61, and I'm attracted mostly to women in their 40s to 60s.

I can certainly dig younger women, too! They can be hot as heck! But I get MOST turned-on by more "mature" women.

this will always be true. Young firm flesh is always more attractive biologically and of course women too old to bear children are not attractive ( natural biological programming, instinctive) as those who are still able to bear offspring.
It is part of the animal side of being human and a means of perpetuating the species. Its all about planting the seed and growing the next generation . Of course thinking humans differ, but mother nature has her way with all of us, in spite of "shoulds" and "oughts". Older women will of course find younger healthy men as more desirable due to the same programming, even if said women are past child bearing. Its in the roots of human nature and mother nature's programming.

My husband used to tell me he was going to trade me in (at age 40) for a pair of 20 year olds. Now He'd have to trade for a couple of 35 year olds (and he could not manage that either, LOL)

If a woman takes care of herself well----I find myself not caring if she can bear kids or not----I still find her attractive in her 60s.

And these women are uninhibited by the prospect of pregnancy----hence, she is more amenable to "letting it all hang out" in bed. And, anatomically, Ms. Loveliness is more inclined to receive Mr. Man well, and bask in the glory of the sensations.

The "biological imperative" has always been irrelevant to me.

Nigella Lawson (from the show Nigella Bites) is a 60-ish women whom I sure would get considerable younger-male attention.

Man....is she hot!! !!

I've posted on this in other threads. You are fixating on just one side of the coin.

Females in general have the world at their feet 18-29. Can choose who they want to sleep with, with men constantly hounding them. For men in general this is never the case, but they have a longer time period over which they garner interest by females, typically 25-40 and perhaps slightly later if they have good genes and look aftet themselves (think George clooney). Men younger and older are basically ignored and can't compete for 18-29 year old women because the competition is so fierce. So it is just asymmetric. Neither one is fair or unfair, it just is different.

Because they don't......it doesn't mean you shouldn't, though.

I'm speaking of men in their 30's, too.....
