S/O at what age do men “hit the wall”?

[Anonymous]

There is a 61 year old gentleman at the gym who still has a lot of sex appeal, a silver fox. He is faithfully married to a lovely woman who also works out at the gym, so people respect that and stay away. Look but don't touch!

So what if it's "just make up" (it's not! It's more than that!).
She still cares about how she shows up and that's a huge difference. You'd want a woman who didn't give up.

Yes, there is some botox, fillers, laser treatments, and perhaps a blepharoplasty, neck lift, or lower and/or mid-face work going on with J.Lo. There is also a good deal of hard work and discipline in terms of exercise and a strict diet. Still, the finished product work at keeping her look fresh and young for a woman of her age. She cares and it shows. Men like that.

I have a friend who is 77 and he could pass for 50. He's in great shape, and still cuts down trees with his chainsaw. No wall for him, yet.

In my circle of professional mid-50s DC-area male friends, all the guys who got divorced ended up with younger, prettier, thinner, and more accomplished women. I'm going on a date with a 25 yo woman on Friday night.

You’d have to be delusional to think Clint Eastwood hasn’t hit the wall.

He looks a lot better than Bill Clinton.

My dad is in his early 60’s and he’s really good looking but he jokes that’s it’s the size of his......wallet that attracts women in their 40’s or younger. He’s a seriously crushable guy for many reasons but he really likes women 55+. He’s aging beautifully and I’m sure he doesn’t care about a wall.

Depends on the guy. I’m 49 and know of two other HS friends that are in as good shape as I am. The rest, drank in college, got married, unhealthy diet, had kids, became comfortable and are fat.

My dad is 62 and he’s very fit with a full head of silver hair. He often drives my daughter to pre-school in his Porsche and many of the moms and teachers there think he’s hot. They should have seen him when he was in his 40’s. My mom is great looking too so I hope I inherited their age genes.

If he were showing up in a Camry, no one would give your dad a second look.

PP - sorry girls, google Richard Gere from about 15 years ago. [/qu

Lol do DCUM men really think they’re like Richard Gere? Sorry guys, you don’t have his looks or money. I can argue all day long that J Lo looks damn good at 50, but it doesn’t mean most women look like her.

Well, fair is fair, every time there is a discussion of older women on DCUM, someone trots out an example of an older female actress who "still looks good".

PS those older actresses who "still look good" - it's all the makeup anyway. Case in point, J Lo:

I really want to unsee this!

Why? There is no way that you do or will look as good without make up at 50. She looks incredible!
(Yes, I do know it's 75% her surgeon's work).

You can only go by the average person, it's not a absolute (disclaimer). Men and women age the same, it's the genetics, sun, and lifestyle that plays a lot into youth. No one group ages better, more melanin or not. I see fit people who are 30s or 40s because their activities put them in the sun a lot. Often they are pretty wrinkled. Especially here in the west.

I would say for most males and females it's by 45 or 50.

Probably because women in their 40's are divorced with kids. And truly are looking for a wallet and new dad. Smart guy probably doesn't want to be a ATM to some head case. If you are looking for a true partner you pretty much need to date close to your age, economics, and educational level.

A good personality and a sense of humor will help you remain attractive for a long time. Staying active and take care of your appearance helps too.

If you are “in the West,” you are unlikely to have access to a large sample size of African Americans or African immigrants. I live in a city that’s 50% black and see a lot of naked bodies via my job in health care.

“Black” people absolutely age best in terms of skin and muscle tone and sag/ no sag. It’s not uncommon to meet 70 year old AA men and women with no wrinkles. Truth.

Mid-40s to early 50s

Most never actually graduate to being a true Man.

The X factor for men is health. Sadly as soon as our 30s many of us men begin to have some chronic health issues.

I definitely lost a step by 40 and slid downhill until I hit the wall at 50. At that point, I was would have been turned away at the Goodwill donation bin. I don't make DCUM money so I know I have to stay married.

Man here. I’m 60, tall, and I’m in great shape. Have I hit the wall? I don’t think so. I’m certainly in better shape than 95% of men my age and even than a great many men in their 40s.

But this doesn’t really matter, because I have no doubt few women under 50 would be interested in me even though I am in superior physical condition to much younger men.
