[quote=Anonymous]At my 25th high school reunion, the women definitely had aged better than the men.  They mostly stayed in decent shape but a lot of men had ballooned. Maybe that was also true at the 30th reunion.  So I'm not surprised that lots of divorced women in their 40s find it pretty each to date.

50s might be different. At my 35th reunion, I thought the men started to look better than the women as a group.  At the 40th, most of the class looked pretty worn out, but there were stil quite a few fit and good looking men. Most of the women were starting too look like grandmothers.

Sometimes magazines and websites run photo spreads of celebrities in their 50s or 60s.  I think the celebrity men usually look better.  Some men even look better at 50 than 30.  Think George Clooney or Harrison Ford or Paul Newman or Tom Hanks. That's rarely true for the female celebrities (especially white ones).

I think a lot of men look great with some grey hair and lines around their eyes. Also, a fit man may lose a bit of muscle tone at 50 to 60 but his shape will basically be the same.  Even if you like grey hair on women, and I like the natural look, you have to admit that most women start to change shape after menopause. By age 55, most women get pretty thick around the middle and they usually aren't perky.

That doesn't mean "slim pickings" necessarily, but I think it does mean that quite a few men in their 50s are attractive to women 10 or 15 years younger, which reduces the number of men in their 50s available for women in their 50s.

I still think most men in their 50s are happy to date women in their 50s, but they aren't unhappy if they hit it off with a woman 10 or  years younger, which is very possible without looking ridiculous (like a 70 year old footballbcoach dating a woman 45 years younger). [/quote]
