[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last time I was single I was 22. Now I’m 40, childless and newly divorced. The men I match with are 40-55. And…they’re all so old!!! Bad skin, lots of wrinkles, not in shape, don’t dress well and are so…old!!

Meanwhile in my head I’m still 32 and I find 35 year old men the most attractive.

This is giving me a panic attack! How will I recalibrate my attraction to older men? [/quote]

I am in roughly the same boat as you.  I still feel sharp and I stay relatively fit at 42 (even coached GOTR last year).  But am only attracted to guys in their mid to late 20s.

Problem with the guys in their 40s is they look so old!  Many are starting to go bald!  The ones who still have hair also have grey hairs. Lots of them have some wrinkles already. Few of them are in shape (aka the Dad bod).  Nobody wants that. [/quote]

Op here. Yes!! I don’t know why 40 something single men are in such bad state. Most are bald! They have wrinkled faces and they also don’t work out. On top of that, they don’t know how to dress themselves. I really want to be with someone my age or older but…they’re making themselves not attractive. [/quote]

Men cannot control being bald just like they cannot control for height.[/quote]
This is true.  I have a friend who had high standards for looks, including a man with a full head of hair.  Her last ltr was with a bald dude, but he had everything else.

She's with a different guy now, and while he has a full head of hair, his body isn't as good the previous ltr.

Women need to lower the looks standard a bit.  I find that there are more good looking women than there are good looking men.[/quote]
