Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that?
Posted: 9/11/2009 9:58:28 AM
A 90-year-old man was having his annual checkup. The doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better," the old man replied." I've got
an eighteen-year-old bride who's pregnant & delivered a child."What is your opinion about that, Doc?" the old man asked.
The doctor thought for a moment, then says, "Well, let me tell you a story.I know a guy who is an hunter. He never misses a season for hunting.
But,one day he's in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabs his umbrella instead of his gun. The doctor continued, "So he's walking in the woods near
a creek, and suddenly he spots a lion in some brush in front of him. He raises up his umbrella, points it at the lion and squeezes the handle. BAM
!!
The lion drops dead in front of him." "That's impossible!" said the old man in disbelief. Someone else must have shot that lion." . . .
"Exactly" Said the Doc !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh heck, I was never shunned. The only shunning I ever see are bitter men on the forums and I think they are lying that they are dating young fit women. Of course I didn't bother with a fit man that is "older," I am with a great fit man that is younger

"I have done my homework. Having never heard of such a thing, I was quite puzzled to read about it on POF. So, I discussed this with a gynecologist. A male gynecologist, who has probably seen a few more vaginas than you have. Your interpretation of the material in some book you read is inadequate, incomplete, and misapplied. Why don't you do proper homework too and have a nice long talk with a gynecologist yourself?"


Er, if "atrophic vagina" (actually, the term is "atrophic vaginitis") is, as you contend, a misogynistic myth, someone needs to do an attitude check on all the GYN docs I transcribe for.

Two caveats though (and I admit I'm doing this from memory of those reports rather than Googling or otherwise looking it up:
1) I don't remember ever transcribing that diagnosis on anyone much below 70, and
2) My impression is that the hormone cream normally prescribed for the condition is pretty effective.

So if we've morphed into medical issues as sexual "justification" for both genders fishing in the younger ponds, well, AV seems to be rather more easily dealt with than prostate problems or common side effects of hypertension meds.

I've got to agree, though, with other folks in this thread -- the 10-years-either-direction thing is my personal "comfort zone" too. Ya get to where one partner could biologically have been the other's mother or father, it'd just feel weird to me...

But I'd also far, far rather stay single the rest of my life than get tangled up with some guy who actually wanted a 30-year-old, but for whatever reason concluded he couldn't get what he wanted and "settled" for me. (But then, I'm a sufficiently offbeat critter that I figure the guy who is looking for ME -- when we manage to find each other -- will be as amazed when he turns up that last rock and I wave at him as I'll be to find him, and age will be the least of it.)

LMAO ... Sho-me sure pegged it right.

Actually, I could care less about these men. In the end, they end up not only empty-handed, but have spent their money on a woman who will wipe them out financially. They are adults and can make their own decisions and will also ultimately pay well for them.

When I am out meeting men, I just keep in mind what my former room mate told me ... a lot of men my age (60 years old) will go after the younger women until they can no longer get an erection and then they go after the women their own age ... because they basically feel the women their own age are more patient and will accept the ED whereas the younger ladies have no tolerance for it.

Soooo ... basically, they will chase and bed the younger women until they can no longer get a good erection, then they go after the ladies their own age ... "because we don't care if we get sex or not." Who the hell started that rumor?

Now why would I "settle" for someone who really wants a younger woman? Let them run after the younger ones ... WHO CARES?

I cannot personally go along with that premiss..
ALL my wives have been older then I..
minimum 6 years..and one 16 (my third and favorite)
I find I am still attracted to women MY age range..
but when they are older then I..
for some reason.. it makes em MORE desirable to me..!!
Don't ask me why.. maybe cause I figure.. older = better..??
All I know is I STILL am "able"..
I still "like to"..
and i "do" with MY age..

Older men are dreaming.....They think if they can date a sweet, young thing that they can control they would have it made, make them feel young again, the "Fountain of Youth". This will work for a short time until the women get fed up being controlled and the revolving relationships start all over again. But after a while these older men their age does catch up to them. I thought men were tired of women using them for their money? That is what I would think when a youngster is with an ole' geezer, dirty old man. When I was 25 I wouldn't want to be with an older man, I would think I be with my dad. YUK! Picture that!

Note ... it was only mentioned that a former room mate told me what his friends (men) have told him over the years.

Obviously there are men who don't fit that pattern, but since my former room mate told me that and he is 2 years older than me (as are most of his friends around my age) I have to give it credit.

To me it's nothing more than different strokes for different folks. Who cares if the older men want to do that? For certain I won't be settling for any man who only wants me as a result that he can no longer perform for the younger ladies.

I suspect most of those guys will ultimately end up all alone and without any companionship in the end. It's actually rather sad. At least that was the status of the "friends" of my former room mate.

All that's left of their lives is to sit together and brag over their earlier conquests.

Its not as complicated as we want to make it out to be.

Men were designed to go out and breed with as many women as possible.

Women on the other hand come with an "expiration date".

Not saying that their arent men out there who can control the call of nature.
But I truly believe for most its difficult and if the opportunity comes along for them to be with a much younger woman, they will indeed go for it, while risking all!

If you dont believe me girls, try this one on the next guy u meet.
Ask him what his thoughts are on "foreign bride sites", or if he has or had ever been a member on one.

If he is/was might I recommend you take your heart off your sleeve when it comes to this dude. For thoughts are really things!

When it comes to being sexually healthy and active, I'd say it's men who come with an expiration date.

Healthy women are like the energizer bunny. We can go on and on and on....
Regardless of age. Sometimes men seek out younger women in the hope that they can be re-energized by them.

One of the reasons many younger men prefer older women is because we can no longer procreate.

I don't agree that fit older men are shunning older fit women. In my experience, men of all ages can appreciate an older fit woman. But like with any other quality, there could be other facets of the woman they may not like, that may turn them off.

I got torn up on this one a while back, but what the h#ll, I'm still game.
I date women younger than myself; betwenn 10 -30 years difference. Why? Beause I can. Women my own age just seem like my Mom to me. My Mom, by the way is no way an old woman at heart or physically. Quite the opposite, acually very much like myself as youthfull looks and health run in the family. I'm just not ready to go for 50+ and all that means.
It seems I've finally arrived at a point where a 46 year old woman( My GF) is a much younger woman by most peoples standards; but not mine. That feels about just right for us. I have dated much younger(20-30 yrs) however and I have to say while it can be nice while it lasts, there is stricly speaking a shelf life to these situations. Know that you will move on soon. I don't hink I'll be doing anything like that soon again as I finally feel I've "outgrown it"and am with someone I'm very stisfied with.

Ditto for me as well, and I was torn up too, one women told me I looked 70 in my pics so it was very obvious she was enraged by my post at that time. That's the way it is what can I say.

I believe you might have miscontrued my message.

Women come with an expiration date, when it comes to being able to bear children.
And many of them regardless of how fit their bodies appear its extremely difficult to compete with younger females, whose skin and hair, is glowing.
No amount of makeup nor intelligence is going to change men when it comes to them thinking with their "small brain".

Besides, they too reach a point in their life where the little blue pill makes its appearance. Without it many of them wouldnt have the confidence to have an intimate relatiosnhip with a younger female.
Cuz lets face it guys, your body isnt what it was at 20 anymore than ours is.

And furthermore, younger women make lots of mistakes. Dont think for one minute as your lying their next to you she isnt silently counting the wrinkles and the grey hairs on your head..lol! Been there done that...

Well said, Esperanza!

Dont let these guys lead you to believe that the young american girls are chasing them.
Most younger females of today are too independent and educated. They dont need a man for his money, unlike their foreign young counterparts -ukraine, russian, asian females....those girls are desperate and will give up their young bodies, and basically their dreams. Its the lesser of the 2 evils I imagine, for some poor foreign girl.
The American girl on the other hand will only play with an older man to maybe get her through some tough financial straits. But love him....I guess it they have goals of changing his bed pan while other women her age are enjoying their youth with a man of their own age!

Mine is a lot better than when I was 20. Working out and taking care of ones self for a couple of decades makes a difference and no one is going to convince me otherwise. Like anything else in life you get out of it what you put into it, it's that simple. I can show you some body builders in their 70's that are absolutely awesome. You going to tell me that some out of shape 20 something looks better merely because he's in his 20's?


You're all preaching to the choir again.

Usually if a man of over 50 is single, there is a very valid reason". I would hate to think that it is true


Funny, in my jaded moments I say that about the women.

I don't date younger women because when you're done doing the deed, you still have to talk to them. I prefer a women that has gained the wisdom only time can bring.

Back to the OP's question. While there is no doubt I like a woman that's in good shape, I have no desire to date someone that spends every day in a gym. Those people, both sexes, are major pains in the rear. To me, they are like the 4.0 's in school, they have no balance in their lives and don't seem to know when enough is enough. Go out for New Year's and they'll only have one drink. Go to a pizza party and they'll take two bites and quit because it's not healthy. Of course I'm generalizing but the ones I have known just never seem to be able to let their hair down and indulge. IMHO, gym rats are only compatible with other like minded gym rats.

Glad you qualified all those statements, I usually eat nothing less than a whole pizza and I have never held a gym membership in my life.

I have never shunned an attractive woman, no matter her age, unless she is married, or underage, and I consider it a success, if they do not shun me.......

One of these days more of us will see that it is not the age, but the toll it has taken on you that makes the biggest difference. I know many in their 30's that smoke, do drugs, do not exercise, or workout, and show it, and I know others that are in their 60's that make my knees weak because of how attractive they are.

What youth offers is the absence of the tell tale signs of experience, maturing, and life in general. What one has done with all of that, and how it shows and fits you, WILL be the deciding factor, and not the date on your birth certificate.

To not consider another that is good looking, in shape, and houses a wonderful mind and personality, is just beyond me, no matter their age......

Just my opinion.......

"To not consider another that is good looking, in shape, and houses a wonderful mind and personality, is just beyond me, no matter their age...... "

The last time I posted in a thread like this I got the skin verbally flayed off my back by forumites that suggested that I was dellusional and filled with conceit when I stated that my lifelong commitment to fitness and genetic luck of the draw has allowed me to arrive at this point in time without many of the more common indicators of aging,(wrinkles, grey hair, saggy skin etc,).
It feels just as weird to me as it does to someone 30 to be keeping intimate company with a woman who has as most do, some of these very common indicators of age at 57 or 60.
I know my extended period of youthful appearance will not last indefinitely, only a true fool could delude themselves in that way, but for now, it is as it is and I just feel really fortunate.
I've balded, and have some grey in my beard, which I do not color, but no wrinkles, all of my natural teeth w/o fillings , no arthritis or joint problems, no ED,normal BP and a very nice body. That's just how it is. I'm not yet ready to be with someone for whom these issues( or even some of them)are a reality.
And yes, there are plenty of women 15 to 20 years my junior who have active, and intellegent minds and are not in the least boring or trite. If you think I'm full of it, look at my profile pics, none of them are mor than 2 years old.
I'm just a person who through luck and hard work enoys a high level of physical and mental well being and everything it allows me to access.

Thank you, cdeacon. And to guys like damassteel, who by the way is 9 years my senior yet apparently I might be too "old" for him, what can I say? I don't have saggy skin, I am in perfect health, I dance frequently and still can do all the ballet stretches that I did at 18, I listen to current bands that even my college-age son has not heard of, and I go to amusement parks and ride the biggest roller coasters. Basically I still pursue all the same interests that I always have had. But I have gained enough wisdom to recognize a closed mind.

I am not attracted to men who have not taken good care of their bodies, of any age. While I do exercise regularly, I am not a gym rat and am not attracted to that type, if they are overly obsessive with it.

The problem as I see it, is men or women, who are not fit, wanting women or men who are. I can't see that age enters into it that much. Again, I can only speak from my own experience. I get compliments and flirts (in real life) from men of all ages simply because I have lived, and do live a healthy lifestyle, mentally and physically, and it shows.

I am not skinny and have no desire to be, but I stay at a weight that is comfortable for me and good for my health. Looking back over the years that I have been over 50, I can't think of one single time when I was shunned for a younger woman, by any man.

Again I say, that if women are being shunned, it may be for other reasons. Being fit does not necessarily mean being attractive or desirable. Some men want the whole package, as do I. Just because a man is fit is no guarantee that women will be attracted to him and vice versa.

Ref. Msg. No. 312 and 323

When I read post no. 312 this morning it made my frequin day. Really nice to see some other guy my age who like myself has taken care of himself and is not going to let any one here tell him what age range he can date. Like the poster in no. 312 and 323 I have dated many younger women and I will continue to do so.
BTW bro I did take a look at your pics and you look fabulous, keep up the good work.
