This is not even happening.

Moving on ...

This is an imagined issue, perhaps a manifestation of your general anxieties about growing older. See a therapist if you are this insecure about it.

Wouldn't you find this insulting and degrading if the genders were reversed?
Do you honestly believe that there are no men over 30 who are considered sexually attractive who don’t look young for their age? You never see men with graying hair and beards and aging faces being promoted as sex symbols? Once again, I think you are mainly just afraid of reaching a point where 25 year old women won’t find you sexually attractive.

But that's the thing, I am of the opinion that 25 year old women not finding me sexually attractive would be a sign that women my age don't find me sexually attractive either, or, at the very least, don't find me sexually attractive the way they do younger guys. I don't think that sexual preferences are based on age. If a woman is considered sexy by 35 year old men, you can bet 25 year old men find her sexy too.

What do you expect will happen when you are 50?

I think women my age generally won't find me physically attractive anymore. But they will no longer be considered very attractive either.

You're getting your knickers in a twist for literally no reason. We all age and we all stop being considered hot by 20 year olds at some point. By then you might have met your life partner anyway, someone who hopefully still finds you attractive.

And how would that make you feel?

So basically you think that women just “settle” for men who aren’t in the “younger men” category? They don’t really find them sexually attractive, but they have sex with them just because they have other good qualities?

That's kinda what it seems like based on society's assumptions (and women's sexual behavior tbh). I mean, one of the replies here even stated that the reason women my age would pick a guy my age over a 20 year old is because the guy my age is financially stable and ready to settle down. Couple that with all the people suggesting that 25 year old women would find a guy my age to be old. Read between the lines: men over 30 are not sexually attractive to women.
