And that's a good thing. Sorry, no, we're not submissive little servants who do double-shift while some gray-hair sits on his arse futzing with the remote while waiting for his Viagra to kick in. When he dies, she'll never marry again and will probably have the time of her life. Count on it.

Actually some women do but I have only heard from females who drive a truck for a living. Not that others don't say it but that is the only place I have heard it when I managed a huge truck stop for 4 years.

Now now Ruthie, those of us in the Midwest look just as good as any other woman on the planet.

This body builders are so empty. They all come with same stories. "I'm huge women check at me all time, you would not believe how I'm good looking". Men if you brag how you are good looking post picture of yourself. Not only you then 101 before you that come with same story. I bet OP do not have any children. Winner do not come here with such stories.
English v. please.

Yeah, I have a couple of comments about this for what it's worth. This whole thing about young women/older men leads to idiotic generalizations. Take the societal pressures out of the picture and I'm not sure the phenomenon would really be that uncommon for both sexes.

I have a childhood friend who turned 49 recently. He's married to a 40 year old, no big deal. But he complains about getting old and "looking like ****" even though he's tall, has all his hair, and is athletic looking. When we go out, I catch younger women looking at him but he doesn't notice, so in his mind it's not happening. I crack up about it and point it out to him, but he doesn't believe me. In his own mind, he's over the hill .. but that's in his own mind. I'm not saying the majority of young women would consider him a prospect, but that doesn't matter - there's enough of them and besides, you can only be with one at a time I'm pretty sure that if he was working near one of those women that checked him out or had some kind of contact with him, they would probably want to start something.

On another note, I remember when I was 35, I went to a school function where I met another couple with kids at the school. The wife was a pilates instructor, half Japanese-half Australian. Think a tall Japanese woman with deep blue eyes. She was drop-dead heart-attack inducing gorgeous. Youthful strong body, long black hair (even if it was probably dyed), a piercing look, and she was cheerful and happy. If I were single I would have not believed my incredible good fortune if I had her as a GF or wife. She was 51 at the time. My point here is that age in of itself is not really the issue, IMO. The only issue with age is that so many people, men and women, let themselves go completely. You can almost get away with being sedentary when you're in your early 20's but by your mid-30's you'll be a wreck. That unfortunately is the norm. If a woman can be this hot at 50+, I'm quite sure a man can as well. The only issue really would be the friends and family begging him/her to drop the relationship due to age differences. I actually saw this happen with my wife's friend who at 47 was dating a 61 year-old.

The OP is mentally stuck at 30. His mind still thinks he's 30. The young women looking away is a reminder he's getting old. But I would argue that there are younger women who actually prefer older men. I personally know women like this. At 35, they loved checking out 50+ year old guys as long as they were in shape. Are they the norm? Probably not. But that part of his life is hardly "over" yet. Although my wife is a year older than me, she used to go out with 40 year old guys when she was 19. When she was 30, she told me she though men who were 50 were "perfect". Now I'm almost 50 and she thinks young women are going to start trying to pick me up ( I wish ).

Actually, I'm married and have been for 26 years. I have two sons, one just turned 18, the other is 22. I wasn't looking to date anybody, but I admit that I enjoy the mental fantasy of "what if" when a woman shows interest in me. But as much as I sometimes like how a young 25 something looks, I doubt I would ever want to pursue anything with them even if I were single. I imagine the youngest I could go is 30 and that's really pushing it. Ideally, I love 40 year olds as long as they don't let themselves go. Even some 50+ year olds I met were great.

The initial attention I get from younger girls is flattering, but their dismissal of me immediately after does sting. It's the real indicator that my age is closing doors for me. I'm as strong as I ever wax, I'm no dumber, and I feel no difference in my mind or my body from when I was 25. But I look different. And this means I really will never, for the rest of my days, have a young woman that feels pure lust for me. Does it ultimately matter? No. But still..

But this is all just a mental trip. I love my wife, I'm not looking to cheat now. I didn't before when I had many more opprtunities as a younger man. My post was just an obsetvation, nothing more
I hear you. My husband is 40 and facing it too. He is tall and handsome and he still gets looks, but he makes rueful comments sometimes about getting older. I sympathize with him--I am turning 40 next month too. We have been married for almost 18 years. I still find him completely attractive. But being appealing to your wife is not the same as being appealing to others, I know.

You are right: you won't have much in common with women in their 20s. They will be in a completely different place emotionally, mentally, financially, etc. Your sons' girlfriends might think, "Ooh, your dad is cute," but that's about it. Don't start looking at yourself through their eyes and worrying about whether you are lacking. It's a natural thing. Be glad you got out of the game when you were young and have a loving (right?) wife at your side.

Well, time for a reality check. Aging happens to everyone. Most 20's-early 30's women are not going to want to date a man old enough to be their father, and one who is too old to feasibly raise a family with. If you were to ever date again (I know you're married), you would still have a wealth of potential candidates out there who are your own age, and you could probably even go 10 years younger (40's women) if younger is your thing. But if you were expecting to hit 70 and still have 25 year olds hanging on your arm, that's probably not realistic.
