I think as you get older you realize that there is so much more to a person than their looks, and looks matter less then. For instance if you were 25 and met a guy in his 30's that was bald on top of his head, you might not be interested. But being in your 60 it doesn't matter.
They believe it because it's true. Quite a lot of us date men 8-10 years older, in my experience. I do, and if memory serves me correctly you do, too.
People have different definitions of "older." Or at least definitions of "older" that have the potential to impact a relationship.
As a woman who's been married to someone 12 years my senior, I don't consider a man 8-10 years older "older." Not now, anyway (I'm in my 40s). I'd say an age difference of 15 years+ is "older" (not that there's anything wrong with that, necessarily).
It all comes down to chemistry (and compatibility, of course). I would certainly date a man 8-10 years older now if I felt that spark with him. But, contrary to how I felt in my 20s and 30s, I would now also be willing to date a man a few years younger, if the chemistry and compatibility were there.
Ultimately, to apply narrow (or arbitrary) age specifications when looking for someone to date/marry is self-defeating, imo.

Agree.
And it could be, too, that how we perceive what is attractive - even what is physically attractive - becomes more flexible and varied. The longer one lives, the more often they will experience attraction to someone who is not necessarily their "type."
Men older than me: Do you feel like the dating scene gets easier with age? Does anyone wish they wish they would've settled down at a younger age and now past their prime?
I'm divorced and the ex broke it off becasue she was no longer attracted to white men (she's white). So much for settling down, LOL.
Dating gets worse with age but at 58 I still get looks from younger women. I just don't act on them. I'm currently seeing someone in a LDR and even though it's open it has been a deterrent.
Did Fidel Castro age like fine wine ? What about Ron Paul ? Are women young enough to be their grand daughters masturbating to these guys ?
I don't think either of them would have any trouble getting much younger women if they wanted. It has nothing to do with their looks and everything to do with their status, of course, but that's part of why many men become more desirable with age.
