As you've read on the previous page, people still get giddy. From my perspective, things in me changed drastically, so the allure and giddy feeling I got and enjoyed from many women just seemed to fizzle out as I aged. During my über young teeny years, I got giddy over any women I could bed. As I aged, I found less and less women attractive, especially the younger ones.
It's not that my "standards" got higher, it's that I learned how most women just don't appeal to me due to how we don't share anything in common. By age 45, I'd just stopped looking at women, thought I had low testosterone, the hormones in the meat and GMO foods I'm eating, or something, had caused me to lose my sex drive, so all women, even Penelope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, and Leonor Watling just lost their beguiling wiles over me.
Then one dark day, a woman began reaching out to me. I desperately tried to convince that she needed to exercise better judgement, come on girls, it's me! She finishes my sentences, I hers, and she shares common core beliefs, which go against everything society embraces. I was struck stupid, put in a stupor, and I find myself giddy as thought I'm some 12 year old girl at a boy band concert, and thus far, I've only talked to her on the phone.
I honestly didn't think a woman could ever have that effect on me again. I suspect getting giddy is not as common when people age because of cynicism, realistic beliefs, and such keeps the fantasy bubble deflated, but when it does strike, it makes one just as weak kneed, butterflies, and giddy as years gone by, but it's exponentially more felt due to no longer living on dreamy feelings that seemingly controlled youth.
Well, at least those were my experiences.
Thanks for reading,

Great post, Thank you for taking the time out to give a concrete answer instead of simply saying "yes."
I'm 45 I've been so hesitant to let that giddy feeling roll in case it was not reciprocated. I really need a little buttering up---I need to see that he has potential to be giddy over me. I'm starting to sense, however, that men want to get that same sense, so I'm starting to work on my flirting without giving up my heart.
Good point. Do people get more cautious as they age?
That would really be nice, and I get a warm glow just thinking about it, but realistically in today's society, I know that I'm emotionally bankrupted and I have nothing to offer.
Notwithstanding, "giddy" feelings do happen well after the age of 35.
Thanks for the words of encouragement,
bolillo

Reason: Considering morose words seemingly leap from my keyboard, I sure make a lot of mistakes.
I can also speak from experience and tell you that YES, the "magic" still happens.... I have recently started seeing a man and it has been electric. Oh, I am 45 by the way....
