Context, I'm 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me.

As I've aged younger women are less and less attractive (thankfully)

But when I'm 60 will 60 year old women be attractive to me?

    Being in my 40s, I am relieved to say that I keep finding women attractive that are my age, and I look at people in their 20s as, well, kids. Even in my porn, I keep looking for women more my age.

    That's true physically, but also emotionally. There is a humbling nearly all decent people seem to go through in their late 20s to 30s that at this point is a necessary point of bonding for me.

    All I know is that everybody says retirement homes are full of horny old people fucking all the time so maybe? Either that or old people just don't care as much about attraction and are just happy all the parts still work

    My guess is as an adult you'll always be attracted to women around the 25-35 range most but maybe once you get old you'll also find some stuff to appreciate in grannies

      They are. I used to work at one and it was not an unusual experience to walk in on residents giving head to each other or fucking.

        I wonder if it's still as enjoyable or exciting as when they were younger.

    just turned 40, i can def tell when someone in their 20s is hot, but I'd be really unlikely to date them. But, for example, meeting some rando at a bar and hooking up is different, as long as everyone is on board with the situation and consents. I've started finding older women attractive more than I would have when I was younger, it's just hard to meet people at this age and covid wasted my late 30s doing nothing

    There isn't a limit, your tastes on what you consider "attractive" will change over time. When one is young one only thinks on reproduction, and the older one gets, the more prevalent just having someone who you enjoy keeping you company.

      Depending on your definition of "young", what it actually is is that young people mainly think of fucking.

          Speaking in terms of ultimate (evolutionary) causes, obviously, but on a proximate level of, for example, what the people in question actually think and feel, as well as the practical outcome given the accessibility of effective contraceptives, it has nearly nothing to do with reproduction.

    Xaviera Hollander said that a man isn't old until there are no women his own age he finds attractive.

    Eventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.

    You're asking a completely subjective question about yourself to other people. What possible answer could you hope to get?

      You're right i should discount the experience of everyone else in the world.

        Non sequitur, strawman.

        A fire causes harm, your opinion on how unpleasant it is won't change that. On the other hand, the only person who could possibly know your own romantic preferences is you.
