How old is "older"... and when does this phenomenon kick in?
When young adults speak of " older" as a general term they are usually speaking of about 40, and up from there.
However, I think from the OP, the meaning here was simply older than any given woman in any given scenario. So obviously, 40 is older than 30, 30 is older than 20 and so on.
It's not a phenomenon, not even in facetious terms. Older is older.
Really? I rarely see that. On tinder you can see this marked decline... like the guys in their early 20s are all really good looking, then it starts turning into balding/wrinkled territory, and after 30 is a no go. Incidentally I don't notice a huge change in women during that time, and I think a lot of it has to do with the pressure women are under to maintain their youth. There aren't a lot of dudes applying retinol to their skin every night and obsessively wearing sunscreen... I'm sure if they were, the aging discrepancy wouldn't be quite so huge.
LOL...I wouldn't say that after 30 is a no go for me, but I do generally find younger men to be better looking than older men. Also, since men often die sooner than women, that's another plus for pairing off with a younger man.

Definitely! Also, a high age in the father is linked to birth defects in children, higher rates of mental ilness and even increased ugliness
Older women have a harder time getting pregnant and can experience pregnancy complications. However, their eggs are the exact same as if they had gotten pregnant at age 20. The same is not true for men, (primarily because they produce new sperm every day), who's sperm gets progressively worse over time and takes on all the genetic mutations of increased age. Interesting how that fact doesn't get publicized, huh?
Well, I see many gorgeous men over the age of 30, so I cant agree with the whole "20 year olds are better" way of thinking. There are many, many over 30 men who have that sexy swagger so don't disregard them!

At the age of 31 ...... Naturally I couldn't agree more!.
Like if a woman is 30 she will go for a guy who is 40, but probably be disgusted by the thought of having sex with a 20 year old. What gives? A 30 year old man would have no problem having sex with someone 10 years younger.
Are you just asking about sex or a real relationship?
I can't speak for other women but I wouldn't be attracted to someone younger. It's a dominance / superiority thing. Men are supposed to be your strong protector. I think most of us like to feel that little bit dominated - that's very attractive. I don't want some young kid I feel superior to. Yeuch!
Not all women feel like that. There are plenty of women going out with men 10 years younger.
( Psssst ....... Over here...... I'll pay that $20 I owe you for saying that by PayPal a bit later! ) lol
