If I'm ever divorced I will be in no great hurry to be responsible for another person, I've done my time with that. I'll just be enjoying and apparently I'll have my pick!
You will, just believe the guy will ya, he's been a woman all his life. Now that he's an older woman, he can tell you what they think too. I'm sorry you have to just guess at this stuff, what would you know?

I find younger men attractive, but my version of younger man IS In his 30s. AINT THAT SOME SHT. ?

When I I was 18-22, I wouldn't have found men 15 years older appealing. So now it's amazing that I have bypassed these men in their 30s, I didn't find attractive, now that they're younger, they are!

If they don't want a long term relationship, good, then I won't hurt their feelings, bc neither do I, I just replace them with another attractive younger man, and I can call it all one lonnnng term relationship with younger mens.

Let me know when you're ready to learn the ropes, cupcake. 😺

So you're saying that when you were in your 30s, you didn't find men in their 30s attractive, but now that you're older you do?

Sounds to me like she's saying she *also* finds men who are younger than she is attractive *now*, ergo, women's tastes can be broad too.

Then again, any reasonable person who has ever dated already knows this.

So you're saying you're stuck on a thought that has no merit and will not try to comprehend ANYthing else?

I was living with, then married to, a man the same age as me from 19 to 40. I found him physically attractive the whole 20 years.

People change. They're not all the same to begin with.

Two bodies moving at the same rate remain still relative to each other. I can't imagine why it would be so difficult to accept the analogy of the same applying to the passage of time and one's love and affection for their partner/spouse.

Yeah women's tastes can be broad, but not broad enough to *also* find older men attractive as a young woman?

When we are talking about love and affection, that is different. I am talking specifically about physical attraction.

The reason it is so difficult for me to grasp is because, as a male, I can't imagine ever looking at a nice looking 30 year old woman and not finding her physically attractive simply because she is older than me. Not when I was 21, not when I was 18, not when I was 15. Hot is hot. Just because someone is too old for you to want to date, doesn't mean you can't find them physically attractive. Right now at 30, I find women as old is their 50s
and as young as their late teens attractive.

Here's something interesting to consider. It would not be hard for any of you to imagine a girl as young as 13-14 crushing on guys in their early 20s. Yet a 20 year old girl crushing on 30 year old guys is preposterous? Clearly, it is not about the age difference. Perhaps it is more about the fact that, to you, "guy over 30" is synonymous with "not very attractive", whereas "guy in his early 20s" is not?

You have previously stated that you weren't interested in women, and still playing with army men when you were 17-19 or in your late teens. I think jerz has been actually trying to tell you on a nice way...that some of us are interpreting your opinions based on no experience with women.
What do you say?

Sure, that's possible, why not?

What is it you're not understanding here?

Absolutely, because to a girl that age, while 20 and in college seems worldly and cool and with it, 30 just seems old.

You have a real hangup about your aging.
