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”.

I think it has alot to do with younger guys not wanting to put the effort into getting an older woman, in layman’s term they do not want to put in the effort. With younger women they are not as established and are not looking for anything serious. Now I’m not saying all younger women are like this, but from my experience the board majority of younger women I dated where not looking for anything heavy. I personally prefer and older woman my wife is a whole 8 days older than I am 🙂. I have dated older women in the past and I must say, older woman know what they want and know how to get it,and it is a major turn on that they can stand on there own two feet and come and get what they want. Plus they are usually more comfortable with there bodies and the sex is much better. To all the younger guys out there date a few older ladies you will find out how much they have to offer you. ---

> [@smellymen2002](#): > > I think it has alot to do with younger guys not wanting to put the effort into getting an older woman, in layman’s term they do not want to put in the effort. I think it has to do with the fact that most young guys are immature and have no idea how to deal with strong women. I know a couple of younger chicks that really have their stuff together and all of them ended up dating older guys. Older women know what they want and usually don’t tolerate the games young guys play with young girls. ---

I’ve known ever since I was a teenager that I possess a charisma that can effortlessly attract women in their mid 30s and up. They most certainly have not ‘expired’. That’s all I’m saying. 😉 Musk ---

A few months ago I’ve had a little thing going on with a 45 years old italian girl. That’s about the oldest woman I slept with, although there have been a couple of 35-39s. All I can say, definitely NOT expired. Great skin, great moves. And most 25yo’s that I know would kill to have boobs that firm and shapely. It’s not about the age, this lady is in my opinion much more attractive than her 19yo daughter, who’s still very hot and has pretty much the same face, just lacks some of the mum’s grace and feminity. ---

Funny you mention this, since I have been using A314 I seem to find older women more attractive more often. Is this common? It looks like my opportunities have increased more. ---
