But not every woman under 30 is attractive and many women over 30 look better than your average 20something. What's also true is that many women over 30 are better off financially, have greater stability in their lives, and have a better sense of who they are, who they're looking for, and what they want out of life. A lot of women in their late 20s are anxious to get married and have kids whereas women in their 30s may be past that. Many have been married before and have learned a lot of valuable lessons. Some even have kids and aren't looking to have more. Oh, and I've noticed that the 30something women I've dated were much more comfortable with their bodies than the girls I dated in their 20s. That translates to better sex.
Is not experiencing insecurity about our body (or ourselves) is part of life? Sometimes I get the feeling that we expect (or even me) the other person to accept themselves right off the bat (or once they hit 21). Not that I disagree or anything because there are some areas that I am insecure about, but I don't tell to the whole world what I am insecure about it. I can hide it quite well that most people can't detect them.

Older people are good at reading between the lines. You may trick peers but older people...been there, done that, and see right through your masks. Trust me.

Each individual is different. I've known people who obsess over their appearance from their twenties to their sixties. All depends on the individual. Speaking in general terms, as you get older you should be more comfortable in your own skin and not as insecure. Most of us may have something we wish we could change about our appearance, but not to the point you're afraid to be seen in the buff by someone you're intimate with.

I think when we reach a certain place in life we stop thinking about "what might have been" and start using what we have to the best of our ability. When my youngest girl was born we didnt have a crib. So she slept in the bottom dresser drawer. You use what you have! Most women over 40 not only accept what they have, they've become damn good at using it!

It makes sense after all if a woman is 29 and she looks like Natalie Portman, she is going to look like Betty White as soon she turns 30 and is 1 year older.

Once women turn 30 they need to start wearing a diaper and need go live in a retirement home because they are so extremely old.

..the fact that he states 1/50 for over 30 and 1/15 for 20's shows he is going to find life tough as he gets older

I used to date some women in their early/mid 30's. With few exceptions, they turned out to be bitter, distrustful of men, and emotionally scarred from previous relationships.

In addition, I find so few women over 32 to be attractive physically. Perhaps 1 in 50 women aged 30-35 are attractive to me compared to 1 in 15 for women 20-28. Without the physical attraction, you can't begin the relationship.

I've not dated anyone over 30 in the last couple of years, and I don't think I will again until I'm in my upper 40s
I'm 33. As little as 2 years ago I was mostly attracted to women who were older than me, anywhere from 30 to 45.

I'm a little wary of women in their mid 30s now because of some baby rabies experiences.

Lately I've been attracted to younger women but it might just be a phase.

So short answer, yes I am attracted to women in their 30s.

Luckily i'm a man whose tastes change with age, im 36 now and i find women my own age attractive for sure, as I age I will probably still find women of my own age group attractive. i'm kind of glad im not THAT guy that starts off being attracted to 20 year olds and never stops even though he is 50-60, that is too friggin cliche.
