well, after I read your post, I checked your pics..........the one pic where we can see your face......what is that there next to your mouth.......the development of jowls maybe?

face it......gravity happens to us as we get older........our skin loses some of its elasticity.

texbiker You are missing the da*n point. Thanks for scrutinizing my pictures until you thought you could pick a hole in something. Guess I'll have to rush right out and kill myself now!


BTW: if I were you, I'd be a little cautious about picking holes in other people's appearance

I kind of feel the same way about women. A lot of women seem to let themselves go after a certain age. My problem isn't so much the looks. It just seems I'm a lot more active than women my age and I don't think many of them could keep up with my activities. I do agree with you that a lot of men let themselves go also. Being recently widowed, I realized that I neglected myself a bit after 30 years of marrige. I can't do much about my looks or height but I did realize that losing a few pounds and hitting the gym occasionally definetly makes a difference. I also think we preceive ourslves differently than other people see us. I'd love to date a 20 or 30 year old just because they look so good but unless I find a women who has an "old guy" fetish, that ain't happening.

I am attracted to people by their spirit not their looks. It's how they wear their body not what their body is. Women my age and older can look really good and be awful to talk to. Or they can look soft and dumpy and funny, and be sexy as hell and a lot of fun to talk to. I look funny myself, so I stopped judging other people on looks long ago. Those days are history. I think men look better older than do women, generally, but only by comparison to their younger selves. A woman has farther to fall than does a man. Her beauty is so great that when it fades unless there is some shining from within it's like a bright day becomes a moonless night. If she ever had and retains beauty of spirit, she'll shine on forever and always be a pleasure to see and be with. Masculinity doesn't depend on age.

Love the thread! The amount of older woman bashing on these forums is amazing - but turn about is fair play!


Anyone who has seen the headline on my profile knows how I feel about this topic. And it isn't about rock hard abs, or Viagra. It is about an outlook on life.

Perfectly Said Shore!!
Wish more people would see that and instead of getting all uptight in this thread, take a deep breath and see it for what it is..Personal Choices

mermaid....thank you :) After reading your posts I think you also seem fair and rational with a good head on your shoulders and great looking leads me to wonder what you are doing in California..:(

I'm VERY forgiving about looks, I actually prefer a man with some pudge and a face that has smiled and frowned a lot.
So an older body wont bother me as much as an older brain that is stuck back in the 80s.

I often wonder what I am doing here as well..but then I remember my family is here. They have always been there for me.

Trust me this is not the easiest place to date.

Thanks stardust2 for agreeing...

...and some of the other posts with people getting so uptight....take a deep breath and...relax

Remember this folks...and this goes for everyone...you are attracted to what you are attracted to, young, old, skinny, lumpy, hard, soft...that is just the way it is. If you think your are attracted to younger men because older men have let themselves go, then so be it go for it, but don't bash men because they choose a different (fitness) lifestyle than you, and don't lump all men into that "over the hill" age

To the "fox" lady, I know a 70 year old man that would blow you away with his fitness level. To each his/her own...we as individuals are going to do what is comfortable for us, and that is that.

You could say that I have been guilty of looking for and dating younger women...my reasons, is because I am very active and want someone as active as I am. I did seriously date two women (not at the same time of course) who were more than 15 years younger...the activity part was great, anything and everything....camping, canoeing, hiking, snowshoeing, golfing, badminton...then list goes on...they were great...what lacked in those relationships perhaps was maturity. So far I haven't found a woman my age that can keep up with me. That doesn't mean that there are not some out there. I am sure she is and if I am lucky enough someday to find that special someone who is as active as I am and that all other areas of the relationship gel as well....then great....doesn't matter if she is older than I am or younger than I am.

I do not lump all women my age or older into a catagory of...."look how they let themselves go"....me personally....I will look for someone who is right for me....period....with age not being a determining factor.

It is amazing how many profiles I see, women in their mid to late forties....looking for younger men...men that are able to "keep up"....ladies....you would be surprised at how many men out there over 50 who are in great shape...and if you put age restrictions in your profile....then you could be losing out on the relationship of a lifetime...

My wish for everyone....is to be happy....be good....and hopefully you will find the fishie that will be your soulmate forever.

Stardust2....it is great to see someone your age....as vibrant as yourself...I certainly hope when I reach that age I am as well. If we didn't live so far apart it would be great to meet. Happy Fishing! ! !

Odd how that is only supposed to work ONE way....that young women not block out old men. How many men over 45 will even CONSIDER a woman their age? I bet you almost none....and if the man is still fit and active, then I will guarantee that he will NEVER consider a woman his own age.

The point I was trying to make with this thread is that BOTH men AND women can be vibrant ATTRACTIVE people at any age. Too bad most of the men missed that.

Aww crap - I wish some of these threads had sound effects. I can hear the cat fights go on forever! The war between the sexes never ceases to amaze me.

It's plain and simple, with life, you either have "Murphy" or "Law of Gravity" pay you a visit. You take the outer shell of your body and work with what you have. Keep your weight in check, get your checkups, but most importantly, work on the inside. The amount of energy that is spent bashing each other on these threads is incredible, I'm surprised the majority of us don't look like we're sucking lemons. I do agree with the other posts, I get tired of older women getting bashed.

What I can say about too many of the men I've met that are in their 50's, is they aren't willing to try new things, travel to new places, eat at new restaurants. Unfortunately, that is my perception because that has been my experience. Hunches are, there are probably women like that too, we all get into this little "rut" that we don't want to grow, expand, and stretch ourselves.

Now - can we quit sucking the lemons and make some awesome lemonade here?

According to some opinions I have read here at POF, at my age I am impotent, boring, and parked on the couch as a mindless blob, whereas women my age are brilliant, energetic, ardent and endlessly exciting. The remedy prescribed is then to date men 10-15 years younger whose peckers haven't gone limp and whose outlooks haven't fossilized. My lot is to dwindle as an afternoon shadow lost in the drapes of a darkening apartment, watching life go on without me in the street below.

Then I read neighboring accounts of how important it is men have such qualities as usually only come later in life than the range prowled by "cougars".

This all leaves me looking in the distance for a spot on a picnic blanket I know is mine by the smiling women waiting there, some distance from the bustling crowd of urbane sophisticates whose sexual appetites crave the attention and cum, as youthful elixer, of the men not quite young enough to be their sons.

Wow, what a read!

And I thought reality TV was good...I've never dated a younger woman. The other night I met a woman who just astounded me when she told me she was 55! We don't have a whole lot of women here in SoCal but what we do have is very good! I'm sometimes amazed at how youthful a person can be in their 50's. I know if takes a lot of work but I, for one, can sure appreciate it. I think a woman who really takes care of herself is absolutely ageless. I will have no wine before its time...ha, ha....
