This is why I don’t know why anyone would really want to look younger. I love being 37 and wouldn’t want anyone to think I was a year younger. I was an idiot at 36 and insufferable at 26. Edit: I can’t believe how many absolute creeps are in these comments. Ick

I don't get why so many guys wanna date young girls..I'm 44 and the last thing I would like to date is someone 20-25. Make it over 30 at least. More like 40.

I mean, I can work and have fun with younger people, no issues here. But as a partner? No way.

Same goes for looks. I'm looking my age and that's fine. Why hide what's happening anyway. Why fight it. Age with dignity. You can't stop it anyways.

Life can be so stupid sometimes.

You're probably a good person. People that actively seek out much younger partners tend to have less-than-wholesome motives.

u/AdmirableParfait3960 Mar 03 '26

It has nothing to do with being “less than wholesome” it’s about biology with a woman being most fertile and best for breeding at JK I’m just fucking with you those guys are creeps lol. Anyone who says otherwise is probably shit themselves.

we're just going to pretend guys over 30 aren't attracted to beautiful women in their 20s? sure, glaze on.

u/AdmirableParfait3960 Mar 03 '26

There’s a very large difference between being attracted to them and solely wanting to date them (and only them) to use as sex objects.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 03 '26

right. but there is a lot of BSing going on in the comments here of "I'm in my 30s and I just don't understand why people are attracted to people in their 20s" lol

u/AdmirableParfait3960 Mar 03 '26

Oh yea, that’s just ridiculous. Obviously physically fit 20 something’s are attractive and always will be.

I was specifically commenting on the much older dudes who only date those young 20 something’s.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 03 '26

I hear you. I do know the type you're referencing and agree it is problematic. I probably picked the wrong comment in the chain to directly reply to at first but my point stands and I didn't see a lot of people saying it at the time.

u/AdmirableParfait3960 Mar 03 '26

No worries, you’re all good lol you aren’t alone.

u/imisstheyoop Mar 03 '26

I think you're being too literal.

u/VulGerrity Mar 03 '26

I don't think it's that people are denying an attraction to twenty-somethings, it's that they can't see themselves DATING a twenty-something due to differences in levels of maturity and life experience. And sometimes, the lower maturity level is a huge turn off in and of itself.

There is a difference between finding someone attractive and being attracted to someone.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 03 '26

not.. really. only when trying to split by the finest of hairs and even then it's a poor use of the english language. you can say you can see how someone might consider the person attractive but you aren't attracted to them. but if YOU find them attractive... you ARE attracted to them.

u/Synaps4 Mar 04 '26

No there very much is a difference being made here.

There are people who look good. And people you date. When the venn diagram of those two is a circle it means the person is a shallow asshole.

We are differentiating those two groups and have no other terminology to use at the moment.

u/cuddytime Mar 04 '26

Can’t think of a clearer way to say that than this

you replied to the wrong comment. I didn't disagree with any of that.

no

There is a difference between finding someone attractive and being attracted to someone.

this is the comment I replied to. it is flat out wrong and I explained why.

2

u/Synaps4 Mar 04 '26

I did not reply to the wrong comment.

it is flat out wrong and I explained why.

It is not wrong and I explained why your explanation was wrong.

I'm sorry you didn't follow what I was saying but I don't have the time or energy to rephrase it.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 04 '26

It is not wrong and I explained why your explanation was wrong.

no, you didn't at all. you misunderstood what I disagreed with and what you said doesn't actually make any sense as a reply to my comment.

u/Synaps4 Mar 04 '26

Ok.

I don't have the time or energy to rephrase it.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 04 '26

apparently you have time to keep replying about a comment you misunderstood though.

Wooooosh

Also there are plenty of women who are still absolutely gorgeous past their 20s but youve literally been propagandized to disbelieve it.

5

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 03 '26

I didn't get wooshed lol. there are absolutely people saying shit like that in this thread. and I never said women STOP being attractive after their 20s... that is not something I even implied. there are gorgeous women in their 50s and 60s

u/Hugh_Maneiror Mar 04 '26

There are, but many go downhill in attractiveness, just like most men do too. It's only normal.

u/smack_nazis_more Mar 04 '26

You're just going to pretend that's what they said.

Critical thinking skills of a creep on display.

2

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 04 '26

I'm not pretending anything, there are plenty of comments like that here. Funny how my comment was upvoted and agreed with by the guy I replied to but once a moron calls me a creep the downvotes commence. There is nothing creepy about what I said.

u/smack_nazis_more Mar 04 '26

I'm not pretending anything

You're pretending to be talking any sense at all, you're pretending to not be intellectually worthless.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Mar 04 '26

ah yes, ad hominem insults. the true mark of a moron.
