I am a really young 35. Both in looks and actions. Most people are shocked when I say my age. They think I am 28-29 tops.
When I did online dating I found that men would contact you if they wanted, and it didn't matter your age, or the age range you were looking for.
If they think you look late twenties, guys in that range will contact you.

I have been attempting online dating since the beginning of July. I am 35 and I have been looking in the 30-39 range. I have been on about 25 dates from this source. Two I would go out a second time. One, I went out with 3-4 times, right up until he brought drugs to my house. I did go out with two men in their mid 40's, the conclusion was just eww. I don't do old.
The men in my age range are just weird cats. They are either pissed off at women or have other issues. I can't get away from them fast enough.
I have a lot of 22-29 year olds messaging me and up until recently I was just ignoring them. Now I am thinking why not...
Ultimately I want a long term relationship that leads to marriage. Are 22-29 year olds able to even offer this. Or am I just asking to have my heart broke yet again?
My sons father was 6 years younger and we would have worked out if he was a happy person and not looking for happiness in the next woman. We matched in looks, activity level, interests, etc.
What am I missing? Should I be giving the 22-29 year olds a chance?
Try it out and let us know what happened . I am in the same situation. Get flooded by messages from 10 years younger guys and 10 years older guys but singles in my age range (37-45) are non existent or douches.
I'm not disputing your facts at all. I think you are dismissing mine without considering their impact on aging. Biologically, men will age better than women given the exact same environmental factors. How many people have the exact same environmental factors? Aging is both biologically and environmentally driven. Men have the edge biologically, but women have the edge environmentally.
Of course menopausal women will age at a faster rate due to their hormonal loss. This can be alleviated somewhat with HRT...correct? Don't most women go through menopause in their fifties though? The OP has a good 15-20 years before that is an issue.
I asked what research you were basing your ideas on sunscreen.Everything I've ever read has stressed the importance of sunscreen and the fact that men die twice as often due to skin cancer. I've even read about the reasons why men don't use sunscreen.
More sun exposure combined with less sunscreen leads to more severe skin damage. sun damage causes premature aging. Thus men would show that sign of aging before a woman who has used sunscreen daily.
You agreed that women eat more fruit and veg, which can help stop premature aging.
Here's what the phys therapist isn't explaining. How come some dudes look so old at mid- or late-40's, it's scary, while some women the same age or older, even--early 50's, look absurdly young, like mid-late 20's, and are in great shape? (And before anyone jumps to conclusions, I've talked to a couple of women who fit the description, and they didn't buy their looks. They stayed out of the sun all their life, work out, eat healthy, etc.) The way the phys therapist is talking, those people don't exist.

Go for it, you are 35 and easily can date guys in their later 20s. Like my age age, 27 which would be less than a decade and the same generation. Heartbreak can happen witn anyone so do t think about it and give yourself and those men a chance. All this in your head, you are young not old. Go for it! Oh and we need more women like you!

I agree with this. I went on a date with a woman last weekend who is 51, but she could easily pass for 10 years younger. She is very active and does yoga several days a week and also ran in the Marine Corp marathon. This is an individual thing, and claiming that all women are washed up when they reach 40 or all men can't get it up when they reach 40 is just silly. Sure some men might have that happen, some might even in their 30's. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, taking care of yourself goes a long way.
LMAO you look solidly 30s. Not 40 and certainly not 45, you look closest to 29 then 45. Not that it is important but I'm being honest. I'm 27 and if you said you were five years older I would not question you . Hopefully you look like this at45!

Are you going to post your pics for us to see? By the way I am in my late 20s and I would not date you seriously given all you have provided. Maybe a quick romp.

When did I say these people don't exist? Oh, that's right, I didn't. It's as if you have no concept of the law of averages. I said that men's bodies tend to not age as quickly because of a hormonal advantage. Does that mean that every guy over the age of 40 living on this planet has better skin and is in better shape than every woman that age. No, it doesn't. It just means that on average middle aged men are able to keep their shape with less effort than middle aged women if they decide to do so, which they statistically do (by average).
There is nothing more annoying than stating a statistical fact like mountain Gorillas are by average bigger than humans, only to have someone ask "how come I know some dude that weighs 500lbs, while some Gorillas only weigh 400lbs?" "Explain that?" This is about the only thing you can say to a grown man or woman that does this.....
