Context, I’m 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me.

As I’ve aged younger women are less and less attractive (thankfully)

But when I’m 60 will 60 year old women be attractive to me?

    I feel like there is a window that moves with you as you age. At 47 I find women attractive up to their early 50s, and down into their 30s.

    I mean dating attractive here. I’m not going to try and claim that a hot twenty something on the telly does nothing for me

    Eventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.

    There isn’t a limit, your tastes on what you consider “attractive” will change over time. When one is young one only thinks on reproduction, and the older one gets, the more prevalent just having someone who you enjoy keeping you company.

      Depending on your definition of “young”, what it actually is is that young people mainly think of fucking.

          Speaking in terms of ultimate (evolutionary) causes, obviously, but on a proximate level of, for example, what the people in question actually think and feel, as well as the practical outcome given the accessibility of effective contraceptives, it has nearly nothing to do with reproduction.

    You’re asking a completely subjective question about yourself to other people. What possible answer could you hope to get?

    Xaviera Hollander said that a man isn’t old until there are no women his own age he finds attractive.

    You eventually see different-dimensions of attractiveness…

    Young women’s simple vitality is like a breath of fresh-air in the eyes, after living in the smoggy downtown, – but … their minds are too blank.

    Sometimes you see gorgeous determination…

    Sometimes you see profound depth, pulling at one’s soul…

    Dwelling deeply in both yoga & meditation can do that, as I discovered a few years ago…

    ( I hadn’t known it’d be visible until seeing it! : )

    Sometimes you see delightfully ferrocious multiple-intelligences in a woman…

    but our world is so systematic about stomping-out girls’ & womens’ LivingValidity, LivingWorth, LivingPotential, & LivingOpportunity, that it’s too horribly common to see only 1 dimension of pulling-one’s-Eternity-to-them, for me, anyways…

    I’m committed to ripping my Soul/CellOfGod from the endless-churn-of-OceanOfPhenomena/UniversesStream.

    Solitude, Dwelling Within: war against my unconscious-ignorance.

    Forever.

    Someday one of the someones/personalities/lives that this-Soul has, will get the final breakthrough…

    Someday, UniverseContainment will be broken, for this Soul/continuum.

    Enlightenment can happen: the basic foundation-realizations exist, so therefore the rest of the structure, already-described long ago, must also exist.
