Hey fellas, as you got older, into your early 30s, did you start finding women between their late 30s and late 40s attractive?
Yes. Younger women tend to appear more one-dimensional and shallow to me, now.

Women are truly like fine wines.
As my wife has gotten older she is looking more and more fine to me :)
I have noticed that many of the younger starlets, as they get older are also looking better than when they were younger.

Women in their 30s, 40s and 50s can look great. I've seen many, and I work with several. In fact, I think it's a credit to them and makes them even more attractive because after having babies and raising them and all that, they loook so good. Plus I look at it this way: anybody can look great when they're young - hot young women are a dime a dozen. But a woman who looks hot into her 30s, 40s and beyond is usually taking care of herself and deserves credit for that.

Hear, hear.
There is something to be said about women with confidence, experience, and accomplishment. There is something very sexy and attractive about that, and this never fades like youthful beauty can.

Women get better with age - provided they look after themselves!
But any attractive woman between the age of 16 and xx turns my head

When I was in my early 40's a guy that was only in his late teens or early twenties waited on me at Taco Bell..after I got my order and got in my car he had followed me..I heard a knock on my car door and looked up and it was him. He said he wanted to take me out really bad...lol
When I got home I told my hubby "I still got it!"..
But I kept thinking that kid must have been some kind of prevert...
What kid in his right mind would go after a 40 year old woman..
Snoozy..

On another note, did younger women all of a sudden become immature and irritating to some degree?
I know this was addressed to men, dear MLE (peace to you!), so please forgive the intrusion. I am commenting, however, because I've noticed this with my son ("silly" girls/young women exasperate the heck out of him), my SIL (younger than my daughter, for the same reason), stepson (younger that his wife), at least one nephew, and some comments made by their friends. Apparently, the the whole "dizty damsel in distress" thing wracks on their last nerve.
So, I would like to offer a couple/few words to the wise... to my sisters... young and old (because I know some older ones who still act so puerile I want to slap 'em myself) who may be on the prowl... or trying to figure out why "it" ain't working no more. Short answer: it really is true that while beauty fades, stoopid can last forever.
ALL of the attractive men I know (and I am NOT talking about looks, but about brains, manners, commen sense... and a little wherewithall)... young and old... and I do know some "attractive" men... including a good deal of the menfolk here... tend to be attracted to intelligence, capability and, if they come across it, elegance. Not "get outta my way you imbecile" intelligence, or "move outta the way, I can open my own door" capability, or "If it ain't made by Tiffany's I don't want it" elegance.
By intelligence I mean... read a book... or two... or three... from time to time. And I don't mean a Harlequin Romance. And while GQ, Cosmo, or The National Enquirer may sate your need to "know"... the newspaper's good, too, from time to time. Or CNN. Or Fox (if you like that kind of thing).
By capability I mean... and this is a BIG one... if you can do it yourself, do it yourself. And if you can't (or don't really want or need to)... ASK him for help. Not tell him. And for "help." Men LIKE to help. They DON'T like to be bossed around (well, not after the first 5-6 months; prior to that, though, it's "sexy" 'cause it kinda reminds them of "Mama" - ). But bossing isn't asking for help. It's being unkind and rude. I mean, he could say the same thing about those mashed potatoes ("What the heck are all these lumpy things?!). If he does say it... easy: don't serve him any more mashed potatoes... until you learned how to cook them... or he learns how to say he doesn't prefer them (or your version)... nicely.
By elegance I mean... the calm inner spirit that reflects from you regardless of whether you're wearing a $1500 pair of Pradas... or a $15 pair from Walmart. Look around: lot of very "pretty"... but single... ladies out there... and a LOT of "Well, I wouldn't say she's pretty, but she isn't that hard on the eyes" married ladies out there. And a lot of not-so-easy-on-the-eyes ones, too! There is a reason for this. While men do love beauty... and outter beauty is no exception... it's usually inner beauty that keeps 'em there.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. Just like there are woman who "like"... ummmm... overly-aggressive men... there are men who like "seen but not heard/barefoot and pregnant/I can't do a doggone thing by myself" women. My experience, however, is that these kinds of folks have issues (often originating in childhood), that really need to be dealt with. And if you don't have a body like Britney Spears, Kim Kardasian, or Beyonce... or their money... you really do wanna make sure you've got some other "talents." Brains is relatively easy.
And that's my contribution. Work is slow and so I thought I'd offer a little sumthin', sumthin' to my sisters (and brothers, too, if you're listening)... because I'm always running into single women who want to know "how" to get and/or keep a man... or married women who feel like their mate might be slippin' away.
Maybe I'll also post something for the boyz, too, one day - 'cause they're always moaning and groaning about how they can't figure us girlz out. Silly wabbits... if they could only understand that, very often, neither can we!
Anyway, peace to you all... and thanks for letting me contribute!
SA, on her own...

I am mid 60's and have NEVER fancied a woman older than myself.
Recently my wife was talking to a friend of hers about the lady's daughter. She then turned to me and said I would not fancy her as she is nearly 30!
