I don't know.

I hear many married men talking about old hags(referring to the wives) and trashing her looks.
Some married men don't even try to initiate sex with the wives.

I wonder,if it weren't looks or age,than why do most married men who cheat on the wives almost always end up with a younger woman,never an older woman?

I don't have any problem with my wife in terms of looks or attractiveness - it's her personality that is the problem. I don't try to initiate sex because I know it's not a possibility.

If I cheated I wouldn't care if she were younger or older - just that she was available.

After 8 pages, I got tired of reading conspiracy theories about women marrying men just so they can not have sex later (for reasons yet unknown) and the one-dimensional "well, it must be hormones" threads. So I apologies if someone gave a detailed answer since page 8.

Reasons a woman my lose interest in sex:

- Of course it could be hormones. Hormones control sex drive in both men and women.

- Fatigue. Especially after a baby. If the woman is the primary care giver of a baby, she isn't getting much uninterrupted sleep. When you are exhausted, sex is the last thing from your mind. This is multiplied if the woman is primary care giver and works outside the home too... it's two full time jobs... and who takes care of the house, cleaning, cooking, etc? Also, to be fair, a lot of women over reach and join more social clubs and community activities... making things even worse for themselves.

- Medical problems (if we are talking older women things like chronic pain from arthritis etc can dampen sex drive).

- Medications. Birth control pills can lower sex drive in some women. Other medications all kill sex drive including anti depressants which doctors like to hand out like candy.

- Sexual problems. Let's face it, if a woman doesn't orgasm during sex, it ends up just being an exercise in sexual frustration. Men might have to be willing to make extra effort to make sure the sex is as fun for their partner.

- Men sometimes let themselves go. Yeah, women do this too, but this thread is about women right. Some men gain a lot of weight, stop taking care of themselves, and basically let themselves go after getting married. A big pot belly might be a turn off for the wife.

- Breast feeding. It creates hormones that both lower sex drive and act as birth control.

- Mental health issues. Poor body imagine, depression, low self esteem, history of sexual abuse... all can lower sex drive.

- Relationship issues. Are you fighting a lot over things, communicating, have a non-sexual connection with your partner? Do you still go on date nights and act like you are in love with your wife? Are you keeping it fresh? If not, it may dampen sex drive. Just because you married a woman, doesn't mean you can stop trying to woo her. Yes, you are married, but it's still a relationship and you still have to work on it (she does too.. but again, this thread is asking about women's lose of sex drive).

Similar threads have been in several forums over the years and I've noticed women have to be very careful with what they post or invariably the thread turns into bashing women. Some men are apparently incapable of reading anything that can be construed as critical to their lovemaking ability. I haven't said ALL.

You'd be surprised. Some do end up with older women.

Playing games? Absolutely not. It has NOTHING to do with playing games.

Because the younger women are not as wise as the older ones.

Trust me, start asking her out on dates again and the rest will follow - Since I started doing this again, we live on a steady diet of booty-call and are attempting to live up to the average frequency in the US of 3.5 times a week and/or more.
- I am damn lucky my woman likes what Viagra does for me (minus the headaches!) Honestly, I think it is getting better and better!
