The graff seems logical because mens biggest attraction triggers are heavily dependent on looks.Womens on the other hand are heavily dependent on status and security.

I made valid points. It's true, many guys over 40 don't look so well, but consideration has to be taken that they had hard jobs or they were under lots of stress so they could take care of their families.

^^^ How does that explain the over-40 guys who had desk jobs and look like a bomb hit them, anyway? Some guys just plain don't age well.

Plenty of people bust their arses, and the pasty office jockey with a jelly role for a middle only has himself to point fingers at. Further, the men aren't conditioned to take care of themselves remark means what exactly? That men aren't conditioned to be grown-ups? Whose responsibility is that exactly?

I know, this makes no sense at all. I'm sorry but there is no excuse not to take care of one's self. I have seen so many sloppy men and a bath and good hygiene is something we should all strive for. I don't date slobs and I know not one woman who does, except my former wacko friend who has severe mental problems (and really needs to be in a hospital she's that bad).

So I guess the point of that comment is we should give slack to older out of shape men who think they can attract much younger women. Nope.

A man gets these things from his male friends, except for financial stabiltiy. And since you.arent looking to date unemployed men, they dont need your money. Why should a man choose you as a wife and mother? Not trying to be.rude here, it truly is an important question.

Maturity is what may keep a woman from being rejected, but it doesnt actually attract a man. No man ever says, "I met her and fell in love because she is so darn mature. i had to put a ring.on that mature finger!"

Physical attractiveness for both men and women is mid-20s if they take care of themselves. No potato chip and ice cream diet. No couch potato syndrome. For those who do not take care of themselves, the peak can be 20.

For highest demand in the dating market though, early to mid 20s for women and mid-30s for men. Status and experience delay the peak years for men. For women, it really is all about youth and nulliparity (no kids yet)

I'm not very old so my experience is kind of limited. So far I've found myself attracted to women of every ethnicity. Since I grew up in Asia my preference is for non-Asian women, at least at the moment. I just moved to the states so I guess this an opportunity to date outside of my ethnicity. Agewise I obviously prefer women around my age, 21, but I've found quite a few older women alluring too. And since cougars are more socially acceptable here in West Coast US than in my Muslim country of origin, I suppose this might be an good opportunity to date older women too, since women in the 19-25 age bracket....ehhhh.

Actually....that's exactly what my uncle said about my older aunt. All the women his age were extremely immature and he wanted to settle down and be an adult. He met my aunt and you better believe he put a ring on that finger!
