There's also the other Tom Cruise who created the Hoveround. Anyway, yet another "women like old geezers" thread. No, not all women want much older. As for a 30 year old woman, she is at a different stage than a 20 year old man which is why she probably rejects him.

I guess it's just a misunderstanding. I was interested to know if he generally wasn't attractive to women (in physical terms), then what would be the look that women find appealing... but it was simply about his general behavior and stances (scientology being part of it).

I do know that attraction only works in the initial phase - but if there's no attraction the thing will hardly work at all because people won't even initiate a date. I think this is the major reason why it even matters more for a woman - it's mainly because men are generally more likely to initiate the date in general. But it's also a reason why most men who are less attractive will have it harder to find a woman to date.

Once the initial phase passed and people start dating, it's all up to people's intentions. If they only focused on attraction (physical aspect), the thing will generally be mostly physical and will most likely fail if no real substance is there to hold it.

His character and general instability negates whatever physical attractiveness he may have had.

WTF? Where do you get these crazy ideas?

You have to be kidding. Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp.
Actors in their 50's: Colin Firth, Denzel Washington, George Clooney, Tom Cruise.
What woman would kick any of those out of bed???
None of those are attractive to me anymore. They were attractive before age 45 or so... It's likely my own age, because once a man passes 45 he's not generally good-looking to me anymore. Celebrities don't represent average men either.

Its not that older women HATE younger men, but as an example of what women have been trying to say on this thread re maturity level, do you understand how ridiculously stupid many of the posts are on this board that are started by young men? Talk about a need to GROW the FLIP UP!

Oh well hell yeah. I felt the same way when I was 30. Met my husband when I was 30...and he was 24. The maturity thing is a truth. No regrets though...got a wonderful son out of the deal.
