Older women also are a bit grumpier, bitter and harder to get along with. I am not sure if hormonal changes or what is the problem, but I believe it is more to do with their attitudes. In a lot of ways I blame society for what it has done to older women. There are so many 40+/50+ single mothers and single women all alone, by themselves.
I love the generalizations. You do realize that the NW is not the only place in the US. I am 41. No kids at all. Professional career and can support myself. I work hard to take care of myself both physically and mentally.
On the flip side I have dated men who are 40+ and very bitter about their lives. They have issues with the ex wives getting child support for their kids. SO women are not the only bitter and cynical over 40.

It's why I don't date divorced men in general and never date divorced or never married dads. All of those I dated were so bitter about the exes and so cynical and needless to say never wanted to remarry. Many of them were in horrible shape too.

Interesting. I think you're partially correct at least about me. I'm just about mid-30s and currently like a 50-year-old man. My ex was 18 years older and I haven't had any luck with guys my age the past 6 years, so maybe all that I experienced as a kid is why I find myself so attracted to older men, despite my best efforts to date guys my age. Maybe that's why they like me too - I'm an old soul with a youthful energy and appearance.
Finally someone gets it right for me. I'm high energy type. I like to go out especially to concerts at small venues and sporting events, but at the same time not every night. For the most part women my age do not like to do the things that I like. Seldom do I see them at concerts I like to go to.
My reasons for preferring younger women have nothing to do with the many reasons that are in this thread. For example I have no interest in having children or bragging to my friends. And looks are secondary. I always preferred average looking women anyway. I do not want a trophy which is the same as someone high maintenance, especially when it comes to an older man. Not all but I think most.
I'd love to find someone your age to mid-40s. Not holding my breath but it would be nice. I don't even try that hard but perhaps I should.
Open to older as well but I'm beginning to think the chances are even slimmer that's going to happen for reasons stated.

There are women your age that are young at heart. Too many men (it's rarely women)claim they want younger women because they are young at heart, not realizing those same women probably want an actual young guy not a man who claims he is young at heart. I am 42 and no, not interesting in men mid 50s and up, don't care how "young" he may appear. I'm smart enough to realize as well that many men in their mid 50's and up start to have medical problems so while a man might be "young at heart" one day the next he might be in a nursing home.
older women look like an old grannie, nothing sexy about that
the younger the prettier and more physically attractive
the older and less attractive a women gets they lose their power of attraction
looks dont last forever
No looks don't last forever but stupidity sure does. I just hope you grow up and realize that everyone ages, yes even men.
