Question for people over 50: As you have gotten older, have you become more sexually attracted to older people (around your own age)?

For example: right now I'm sexually attracted to men around 25-35 (my attraction to women skews a bit higher at around 35-45). I was wondering if, for example, I will be sexually attracted to 50+ year olds when I am 50.

I know there was that OkCupid study, but the fact older women are less likely to message men younger than them on OkCupid doesn't necessarily mean they're less sexually attracted to them - there could be other factors involved, like feeling younger guys are less mature.

So what's your personal experience? This question is referring solely to sexual/physical attraction.

  • When I was younger I was attracted to older women here's the weird part is I could probably still be attracted to older women because I still feel like I'm 25 years old on the inside this is a hard question. Just because I feel this way today. Doesn' mran im going to feel the same way tomorrow. I work with guys that are in the early twenties they're married and their wives are always trying to hook me up with their friends and those girls are in their early twenties I can tell you are smarter than smart. They know what they want and they're going to get what they want because they worked their ass off to get it
    And I like those girls because they're motivated they know what it takes to build something and if they don't know something they don't act like they do they will ask they want to know what you think about it I know women in that are my age they want everybody to know that they know everything and when they don't and it doesn't work out the cry about it because it's stressful two different type women nowadays but anyway. Yes I think when I was in my twenties there's about 12 of us we did everything together. Some of the girls married some of the guys most of them got divorced but we still kind of hang out together while running the same group. And I still see them all, All the time the other thing is I like physical Beauty but to me real beauty is on the inside that's what I'm attracted to anybody everybody can look good on the outside. But it is the inside that really matters to me. So I look at it like this whatever happens happens if I find older women attractive I do if I don't I don't like I said everything changes. Even though I still have the same morals values and ethics doesn't mean that I see them in the same way still young at heart I think I always will be so I guess time will tell LOL from 5 to 10 years old I changed from 10 to 20 years old I change from 20 to 30 years old I changed so on and so on and then I look at your question and even you have changed in the last past year or just maybe it's the way you asked you a question but I like the question

  • The older I got I became attracted to all ages to be honest cuz age doesn’t really matter
    To me honestly, it actually never really bothered me even when I was younger , it’s the chemistry and connection that matters and of course attraction but chemistry and connection is where it is at , If I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye the last thing I am thinking is her age , and I like to think I am wise enough to know not to hit on underaged girls , that’s where I draw the line , but if I notice a beautiful girl and I approach her to strike up a conversation and we have good chemistry and connection that’s what makes me more interested in her , the question of age won’t come up until later in the conversation, and when it does and we both realize we have an age gap that doesn’t mean I am instantly going to not like her anymore , so that’s why age doesn’t really mean shit to me , it might mean shit to her but that’s her preference, in my opinions, people that hold age as a deciding factor are only limiting themselves which to me is dumb, I met younger girls than me that were more mature than girls my age or older so chemistry and connection is what matters to me , I am not going to dislike someone because of an age gap

  • It is extremely disgusting to me when 30 something men only date teenies. It does not matter when she is legal. You ain't suddenly mature when you become 18 due to brain development.
    Sorry for such an agressive post. I like men who are similarly aged like me but i hate it when some guys act like their age does not matter. Fun fact: men's sperm quality get shittier the older they become. So just because you can make kids at any age, it does not mean that the kids will be healthy. Older men tend to get disabled kids. Quality over quantity is important to most women. The divorce rate is also higher the bigger the age gap is. Whatever this youtube comment below descripe the creepy men i can't stand

  • Im surprised when i see someone 50+ into someone around the same age. I think i’ll prefer someone in their 20s for as long as im in my 20s. Once i hit 50, i would prefer someone still close in age

  • it depends on the person. I find both women my own age attractive and younger women attractive. There are many things about both that add to why. Older women have the knowledge of their years and know what they like and don't like. They also tend to be more in tune with expressing themselves. Younger women just have this little innocence thing yet that can add to the excitiment of being with them.

  • I'm now over 50, age doesn't come into it, its sexual attraction that comes around, either its there or not

    • @sirduke2020 what the hell has this got to do with sexuality?

  • As I have gotten older, women my age have always been attractive to me, but younger girls have not lost their appeal, either. However, I am not an old fool and I don't case after women who are not within 10 years of my age.

  • im 54 and mainly attracted to much younger women still

    • I'm kind of worried I'll never find older women attractive, even as I get older. So far, I still have more or less the same preferences as when I was younger. I think my tastes are slowly starting to "age", but not as fast as I am.

    • @zeitgeist057 i think part of it is that men can procreate for life whereas women dont so instinctively we still find younger women attractive... its not fair but i think thats a main reason

  • I actually found women in their 30s to be the most desirable when I was a young adult and that's never changed. Of course, "most desirable" doesn't mean exclusively".

    • I in part agree. However i think purposely dating someone in their 30s instead of 20s is a divorce mindset. Its short term thinking. Someone younger will become 30. Except you have 3 decades of good looks hopefully 20s 30s and 40s. But to date a girl in her 30s is an 'i want it now' sort of thing ensuring the day comes much sooner when she hits the damn she's old status. My girlfriend is 19. I assume we will be together so ill also get to date a 30 year old in 11 years and a 40 year old in 21 years.

    • @bamesjond0069: You've made a good point- the advantage of the woman in her 20s is that you get her 20s as well as her 30s. And it is easier to meet women in their early 20s than their late 20s to mid-30s. However, a woman in her 30s is less likely to get negativity from her family and friends about dating someone my age.

  • As one ages, one finds people around one's age to continue to be attractive. One still finds younger people to be attractive, which is an indication that we'd all like to stay young and redo our youth.

    • Thinking more about this... my libido has actually increased as I've gotten older.

  • I have a wide range when it comes to sexual attraction I mean there’s plenty of women over fifty that I think are hot but to be honest I would say I find more younger women sexually attractive then women my age or older and a lot of it has to do with the vibe they put of most women past forty tend to be more fed up with men or have settled in on being alone not all but a lot and you can’t blame them but I’m not those other men so yeah I’d say 30 to 45 but the right woman can be older than me

  • I'm pretty much A but I have seen some 30 somethings that are pretty hot, but they probably are not into old guys.
    20 something or younger do not do anything for me.
    It's kind of nice when the others persons are attracted to you for who you are, not just what you can provide for them.

  • Physically - There is quite a rate of deterioration the older we get.
    I saw pictures of my class ''re-union'' (which I fortunately avoided to attend) and was startled by how once pretty enough girls were punished by time.
    However - there are still plenty who manage to ''look good'' at any age.
    My Missus is almost 56... and I do enjoy to look at her :)
    I would notice the attractivity of someone younger as well - but I see no point in following up, as I am happy with my treasure at home.

  • Too many choices. So I'm just going to tell you

    People my own age. I was never the one to date outside my age group.

    Every women I have been with all been my exact age or a yr off.

    But I did date one girl 10 yes younger and one 10 yes older. Did not like it

  • No. Sorry. I want children. 40+ year old women are not gonna deliver that.

    • Why take so long to want children now in your 50s?

    • It's not long kid. Keep it moving

    • I'm sorry but you missed your chance... a woman would have to be very desperate to have a child with someone who probably won't live long enough to see them graduate HS :( Also, not only women's ability to have children deteriorates... mens' sperm quality after 40 is not the same and often leads to diseases and mutations in their children :( Please consider a woman that already has an older child if you want to be a father.

  • Older people are supposed to look the same as younger people.
    Aging = Diseases.

  • it deponds. i used to date yonger men that are 18+ and now i am not sure since i not be attracted to yonger men anymore.

  • I am not 50 but I am close. I am 44 but I still think 19 year old college girls are hot. I have been with a few women in their early 20's and it was a blast. Of course, I stay fit and hit the gym 3 times a week and watch what I eat so that helps a lot too.

    And let's face it a - lot of younger women are into older guys. I could not understand this when I was a dip shit 20 year old who didn't know shit from shinola but now that I have more than 20 years of experience next to the 20 year old me it is a plain as day - as I have gotten older I have stacked up the cash , become more comfortable in my own skin and just don't give a fuck what all the cocksuckers out there think it gives off a certain vibe that attracts a lot of women including women half my age.

  • Long as they're over 21 I find them sexually attractive. 👭👬

  • I don't think about age. It doesn't matter how old they are. If I think a woman is beautiful I'll tell her. It makes a woman's day to have someone tell her she's beautiful

  • I don’t find people my own age group attractive very often, usually like much younger but there are exceptions

  • D - I'm 58 and generally find people my age to be mostly boring, I'm more attracted to personality these days than anything,,,

    My neighbour is 81, petite, slim, really enjoys life, I'd love to bone her if only to connect with her energy, I often get hard when I see her lol,,,

    • 81 is the new 18.

    • @supercutebutt oh wow I never realised that!, I'm def going to chat her up now,

    • @sirduke2020 I am already wealthy so I'm good. But thanks!

  • Men as a whole always prefer women in their lower 20s no matter the mans age. At least this is what studies say and so does search for the teen porn genre. Lol.

    • Yeah I was more curious about women I know that okcupid study said women generally prefer men around their own age but that doesn't necessarily mean they're most sexually attracted to those men

    • I don't know if there's a set age women prefer. I think usually a few years older than their age whatever it might be.

    • @bamesjond0069 Your opinion is stated as a fact here and generalizing for all men. This isn't true. Your statement is men as a whole ALWAYS prefer. It's some men prefer. I can't believe how many people on this site think they know what everyone else wants or should want. As well as the silly questions that are asking questions in that same format. Asking a question that starts with do all x think x is dumb too
