Is it normal i no longer find women my age attractive

35 y/o dude here and still looking sharp. I don’t wanna be an ass, but time certainly has not been as kind to women my age as they sure go downhill fast in their 30’s. I’m open to dating 28-37 as I prefer a more mature mind, but I’m sure not putting in my best effort due to the lack of attraction. I find women in their early 20’s most attractive, but they are too young for me.

100% straight, but gotta say that even dudes my age are more attractive than what has become of the ladies. No homo. Also, I hope I didn’t offend anyone, I know we men are pigs. Just trying to come to terms with my lack of attraction towards the ladies as of late.

    I think 38 is when women go downhill fast. You still get some stellar 35 year old women tbf.

    Meh, I think women look good up until they turn 40, and I'm 22 myself.

    If you can pull hot girls in their early 20s I say go for it. I wouldn't date them though. Id just be friends if they were annoying. Annoying can work if its just for every now and then and you're getting something out of it.

    • I have set my age limit from 22-37 on my dating profiles across a few different apps. I often see that I get likes from women as young as 22, but I don’t bother matching with them as I’m a middle aged dude, looking to settle down. I doubt young women in their early 20’s are serious about settling down.

      I have had some nice dates with women in the settling age. What I seek is someone with nice personal chemistry, but each time I try to build up a bond with nice ladies my age, I just feel urk. I’m most likely a swine for feeling this way and I’m trying to find a way to get over it, as it should be the inside that matters the most.

        I feel you dude. Women's bodies dont usually look as nice as in their 20s. Just the way it is though. It might be unrealistic to date a hot early 20 year old girl for a serious relationship at 37. I hope you can pull it off but it wont be easy you'll probably need to have the looks of a model or have a lot of money. Maybe you can find a good looking 27 year old.

    Normal,
    Men first attraction is the female beauty. That's why becoming older is hard for a man to seek a same age women unless they look attractive. (Doesn't mean men only need the beauty. Men catches the beauty first then others are followed)
    And women first attraction is men attitude. And attitude develop with maturity, hence women tend to go for bit older men. ( Also doesn't mean women always go with older dudes. First is attitude and other things follows.)
    So you have a chance to date younger people.

      Never in my life have I been attracted to significantly older men. When I was young plenty of older dudes would hit on me, and it honestly always made me very uncomfortable.

        I didn't mean women 20 and men 60 something.
        If it's the way of your it's ok. For dating. Could be same age handsome. For settle down would you just go with good looking.

          The older men who sexually harrassed me in my early twenties were generally in their late thirties, and early forties, but it's possible that they could have been lying, and been older. It was gross either way.

            You're talking with self experience that's why you are missing what I'm saying. But totally understand your dislikes and disappointment

          • I agree on that it is a steep age gap as those men were about double your age and at a different phase in life. Half your age + 7 (after 30) is a good rule to go by as a man, which would mean that a 40 year old should date 27 and older.

            I am in no way a sexist, but generally the guy has to be at least the same age or a couple of years older than the girl for it to be a good match. Guys mature slower than girls do and no girl would want an immature guy

              Nope, I don't think a 40 year old ought to date a 27 year old.

              This is the kinda stuff that would make me want to be a lesbian, or become a nun.
