Women, at what age did you find men become "old"?

[Anonymous]

I think between 55 and 60. I also think it depends on if the guy takes care of himself, physically and mentally and if he doesn’t give in to being old.

Agreed. DH doesn’t look old yet, but I figure melanin and running gets you so far.

“Old” is always 10 years older than I am.

Moving target.

If they do manage their weight and health, they can be in great shape well into their 60s.

It's all relative. A woman in her 60s might find a healthy, fit man in his 60s attractive. Just not a woman in her 40s or younger.

Meh, I'm 59 and I don't know any man my age or older whom I consider physically attractive. (Including my DH, but I love him anyway.)

Late 50s men hit the same wall women hit at menopause.

This is also the age when women look like “grandma” though it can be earlier if they give up on themselves.

I'm in my late 50s and have already been through menopause. All the guys are now catching up to my female friends and I. It happens, testosterone decreases, certain parts don't function so well any more.

It’s 48. I’ll date on the younger side of 48, but not on the older side side. I’m not dating for marriage so sex is important to me.

Bear in mind: I’m not saying all 48 year olds are old. I’m just saying as a woman who is 50 there’s a marked change - men under 48? Spontaneous and regular twice a day sex is realistic.

On the other side of that I heard talk of pills, penis injections and the occasionally shy peen to be factors, more often than I’m game for. You put up with a lot when you’re married to it. You can work together and work through it. But if you’re dating for hard food reliable sex on demand, ladies? Stick to under 48 or 50.

It’s not even remotely equivalent to menopause. It’s just the excuse some men give themselves for being lazy, not exercising, and not eating properly.

I don’t know why everyone on this board is so crazed about menopause. My mother looks mid 50s in her mid 70s, and she still had great skin well into her 60s. Nothing sagging. My dad, on the opposite, aged really bad

To me what makes a guy look old is frailty and unsteadiness. Most guys can get through their 60’s without that. But women tend to look frail at younger ages. The frailty often seems to be a side effect of being rail thin.

There’s also skin sag in men.

To me being old means changes in mood, behavior and getting fat; facial changes when the face falls down . It happens around 50 to men

It’s the change in behavior and mood that worry me more than the looks. where did you start to see that in your spouses or dates?
