Seen comments from younger male posters dismissing the value of “older women”, nothing overly insulting mind you, just simple off the cuff remarks expressing an attitude that women above a certain age have pretty much expired like milk.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand why some men would think that. Especially in a culture like the US’s where lifestyle choices can make each year hit you like the brach of an ugly tree as you fall down it…age and attractiveness can be mistakenly assumed to be inversely proportional. However I see women all the time that one might call a milf, or cougar, or compare to a well aged bourbon, for whom the years have actually been quite kind. Granted I assume education level and financial affluence may play a large part in this. Not due to plastic surgery (though I don’t discriminate if such is the case) but moreso because women that are more financially successful tend to be able to afford things like expensive skin care products, salon treatments, gym memberships/personal trainers etc. They tend to be more socially active and thus may take better care of both their health and their presentation.
As I did say “tend” there are also quite a few women not quite as well off but due to an unwillingness to “act their age” are burning so many calories dancing at clubs trying to meet younger men that they stay pretty darn competitive imo.
Whatever the reason, a woman can be quite attractive past 30, 40 or even 50 if she puts the effort into it. When judging women from a strictly appearance based perspective, I do so without considering how many years are under her belt. The end result of whatever lifestyle she lives and how much effort she puts into presenting herself in a sexy and sexual manner vastly overshines a minor laugh line or some crows feet.
Consider the ages of these women (some might surprise you). I avoided posting pics or links but you should know how to use Google by now.
If you were to point out any one of these women as me in typical guy fashion if I’d “hit it” my answer would be “like the fist of an angry God”.
