This is where I'm kind of torn. I could like anybody I have a lot in common with, and I swear I should've been born ten years earlier, but I'm not at first glance attracted to men in that age range and don't like the reasons they'd be likely to date me for.
Bill a more accurate assessment of what the aging male population looks would be a random sample from your local DMV. Not a group of hollywood heartthrobs with unlimited resources. In Hollyweird, regardless if you're male or female, it is part of your job description to look good--money buys looks, and money buys time to work on your looks.
I also think it's kind of funny how the ageist threads on here are often the longest..
I will never understand men who say "well if that celeb can date younger so can I" because celebs are completely different and have money and money to spend to look good. Celebs CAN date who they want but the average 50 year old man only thinks he can. Reminds me of the fat men on the dating sites who called themselves in shape or average.
They always forget about the celebrity women that also look great and date younger. Like 55-year-old Sharon Stone and her 27-year-old boyfriend... or 50-year-old Kathy Griffen and her 20-year-old boyfriend... or 50-year-old Demi Moore and her 35-year-old boyfriend. Bringing celebrities into a discussion about average Joe and Jane American dating is a red herring.
Look, younger women and older men date. Some people are attracted that way, I get it. And if you want to date that way, more power to you and have fun. It's just frustrating when statistics point out it's not the norm, women here chime in and say it's not the norm for them (their attraction), and just looking around in public it's not the norm... and then to be told we are all lying or stupid and we don't know what we are attracted to.
My argument isn't that "inter-generational" dating is right or wrong. I couldn't care less. My argument is that it's not what most people do and most women aren't attracted to very older (10+, 15+ 20+ years) men.

That's what bothers me too, that men tells us we are wrong because according to them all younger women want older men. They then mention celebs but they are different than us because they have money and looks. I used to get so angry when I did online dating and these old men would argue with me and tell me I want to date them, when I clearly said no. They then pull the "you don't know what you want" to which I would reply I did know and it wasn't them.
I did block them but then another freak would pop up.
