Correct. Anyone physically, emotionally and sexually healthy won’t need a much younger/older partner to be happy and satisfied in relationships. Once I dated a guy who was not that much older but he wanted infantilize me/requested that I always call him “daddy”. He was attractive from my perspective just as healthy, functional man. I had big issues in bed calling him that way, because my own dad is well alive and still involved in my life. It just felt so sick! |
| When I was in my early 20s, I had a relationship with a woman 15 years older. In my 50s, I had relationships with women 15 and 20 years younger (and also my own age and a little older). I don't think this is bad or weird. A big age gap is sometimes awkward because a lot of people (especially Americans) have negative reactions. |
| People with compelling personalities and attractive people can attract much older or much younger partners. |
What if they don’t have a good dad? |
| My ex-boyfriend, 51, is dating a woman who's 27. She could be his daughter (and actually she does eerily physically resemble him). He's tall, charming, and smart, but he looks his age, which as a 49 year old, I feel I can say. |
Women shouldn’t make men their plan since most men consider women disposable |
| My brother got divorced 4 years ago at age 50. It was as amicable as could be since my former SIL realized she’d rather be with a woman. No kids. He’s been casually seeing a steady stream of women in their late twenties to mid-thirties but he’s upfront about his intentions and doesn’t seem to have a problem getting dates. |
Steady stream… sounds like a waking std factory. Yakis |
Eh, what can I say? My sisterly advice fell on deaf ears.

“ Can older men really attract younger women?”
Older men CAN do whatever they want… Attract younger women, older women, or women their same age. 🤦♂️ |
Same for my ex husband. Except not the resembling part. I don't get it. I mean I did think he was attractive when I was 27 and he was a couple years older, and I do think he's objectively attractive now "for his age," but I cannot imagine myself at 27 being attracted to him at 50plus. |
I mean, if older women bothered invite much younger men out for dates and paid for it, there would be even more younger men willing to date older women. I also went on dates with some men who didn’t look attractive to me as mid 40s woman . They all had prior much younger partners (obviously, paid for apartments, vacations etc). Who wouldn’t want that even if he’s not particular hot ? |

I know the men in this Buzzfeed list are all movie stars, but the list shows that some men don't really get less good looking when they age, and some get better looking as they age. (John Slattery may be the best example but he's not the only one.). This happens to some regular men in real life too. Yes, most women will say that old guy is nice looking but he looks so old. But some women will find these silver fox types irresistible. If they have good personalities and good jobs, they can do well with smart, attractive younger women.

| It works until they pass a threshold and look and act old. Ain’t no amount of money will make them attractive. |

Another one is Jimmy Kimmel. He's almost 60. He was not a good looking man when he was young. He's lost weight, grown a beard, improved his haircut, and probably gotten work done. He's also less abrasive than he was when he was young..I'm sure he would be able to date women 20 years younger if he wanted.
