Question:
Why do old men think that they are as hot as young men?

You don't exactly see teenage girls in their most attractive years lining up to have sex with George Clooney and Brad Pitt even. Most of them want men like Harry Styles or Justin Beiber, who are young and stereotypically handsome.

Most of the women who like handsome old men are at least 30.

Why do some men like to deny the fact that their options are limited just like women's are as they age?

Is it because men are generally less critical of themselves as a whole? I notice the same about men and their penises. Most men I have been with have thought their penises were really big, even when they were small or average. It was no big deal to me and I didn't tell them this, but do you think that men are likely to have inflated sense of self esteem when you compare them to women?

This is because men mature like a good wine. Women, on the other hand, get old. You see many a young girl screaming and asking for autographs from older men. When John Wayne and Elvis died, There were thousands of young girls, all crying for their loss. If an old woman dies, you won't see young men hanging around the hospital or funeral home. This is because women lose their looks very early. Young girls often prefer to be with a man rather than a fumbling kid. Men on the other hand, are programmed to find young and fit women of child bearing age. I'm 62 but would not crawl over a twenty five year old to get to her granny.

I really don't think its something you can generalise about without some factual information.



Its all down to personal tastes, psychological reasons,your own genetics and the genetics of the other person.



Ever since I started looking at the opposite sex, age has not been consistent with who I am or I am not attracted towards, neither has their financial status or gym body.

When I was aged 17-20 I was attracted to many men who where between the ages of 40- late 60's, also someone aged 16 and a handful of people my own age or only a few years older. Their individual looks and personalities are what made me attracted towards them.



So far every 'rich' man that has approached me I have not been attracted towards.



I know a few older women who date younger men, many young men are attracted to older women just as young women are attracted to older men.



I think its concerned if any person, male or female is only ever attracted to a certain age range, this indicates usually that they have a psychological problem, sociopathic tendencies and a paraphilia linked to age.

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/5YGXY



Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

I've seen some cute hot guys from their high school days go bald fat and less attractive

Dude have you seen David beckam , Ben aflek , Channing Tatum, The guy that plays Dean winchister from supernatural, Will Smith etc. lots of hot celebrities and male models 30 and up lots of teen girls crush over their male teachers and professors who are 30 and up call them hot and stuff



at 30 you get that nice jagged manly look which is something those baby face boys like hairy styles and Justin beiber don't have

Problem is that even though We know Were older Our Brain's still believe Were in Our 20s . You look in the mirror and unless You have a picture of Your Self when You were younger You still think You haven't changed a bit. You know Your Wife looks older as do Your Friends but You don't realize You also have gotten older. Truth is We live Our lives happily in total denial. My Neighbor is 76 and looks it. When a attractive younger Female is around He sucks in His 46 inch waist and puffs up His chest and struts around like a Peacock in heat.All the time His Wife is looking on saying He's totally lost His Marbles again. As for the Penis thing You can thank the Porn Industry for that nonsense. They've got everyone believing 10-11 inches is normal .Where in truth 5.5 to 6 is the World average. Lucky for Us They haven't told Men that a 12 inch nose is average or We'd all be looking like Elephants.

I don't think most would. But they probably wouldn't use the term "hot" anyways.



Turn the question on its side and ask: "Which are you more likely to see? An 80yo man with a 20yo woman or an 80yo woman with a 20yo man?



Sure, you may question the motives of the 20yo woman, but there are a lot more women giving it up to sugar daddies than men to sugar mommies.



Presumably, that is somewhat due to having fewer really really rich women out there, but do we really think the Walton heiress is going to end up with a 20yo guy?



The reality is that men do FAR better as they get older than women. Indeed, 50yo men generally do better with women than most young men, regardless of whether they are good looking or not, simply because women tend to prefer maturity (and resources) than immaturity.

old men think they are as hot as young men because old men usually have more money than young men, this is their advantage in that alot of women are money hungry, and will forego looks if the man has enough money. espescially those that are young and dumb. you can be a nice guy all day everyday and still get no women, but when you have money, you cannot keep them away. granted all the ones you attract will be complete wh@res.

Well hot is a matter of opinion. You must be really young because you are making the assumption that only young people are hot. Not so much. Most young people are immature and immature is not hot. The very fact that your perception has clouded your opinion of what is hot is example of what I mean. Twenty years from now your perception of what is hot will change. I hope that answers your question...what is hot is a matter of perspective.

Teenage guys love hot older women, so what makes you think teenage girls would not be into hot older men? They are, it often just seems like they don't because society has stigmatized older man/younger woman relationships. Teenage girls often feel like they "should" only be interested in guys their own age, because when they show interest in older guys, everyone says they have "daddy issues". Meanwhile all the teenage guys are talking about how 45 year old Julie Bowen is hot.



Just fyi, Justin Bieber and Harry Styles are not "stereotypically handsome" and most women over 21 prefer more mature looking guys.



Also, I find it funny how you only compare two extremes. It's either teen looking boys like Justin Bieber or 50something men like George Clooney.

Because old men are having more sex with more women than young men, that's why.



Why do you think there are so many young men moaning about being virgins? It's because the older men are enjoying more than their fair share of the women, including the young female virgins, that's why.



You can vent all the spite you like, but the fact is, it's true.

Older men are hotter than young men. You are talking about celebrities, but when it comes to ordinary people men age like, women like milk. Its true.



At 22 right now even though I hook up with women who are my age or even slightly older (around 22-25)....I imagine as a 60 year old I would be banging a lot of barely legal 16 year olds.

They don't.



It's just that you, and most women here, don't seem to comprehend the difference between hopefully trying, and maintaining a front of confidence, and "feeling entitled."



My guess is that this is because of a lack of experience at NEEDING to appear confident when approaching a member of the other gender.



If you're ignorant of something, it's probably too much to expect that you interpret it right.

As you age, you never lose who you are. To you, you are still young. So as you can see, these old men still see themselves as their young selves. Even when you get older, you might be in denial about how old you are. To you , you will always be young no matter how old you get.

Since when has the standard of male looks and sexiness been dictated by TEENAGED girls? Men over 30 are much more attractive than younger men (generally) because they have dimension. They have wisdom and experience, they've had some success and failure, so generally don't take themselves as seriously. They're often either settled in a career, or well on their way, so they have a genuine confidence AND humility. The easy confidence of men of 30 and over is very attractive. And, because they've had some experience in real relationships, they often know what they want in a woman, and know how to treat a woman with respect.

Because the society that we have been encapsulated in from our birth to our present state has put much heavier pressure upon females to stay young and beautiful, with so much societal, cultural and media forces acting on them, much more so than men.

From my experience, young men tend to date older women for their money. Where as older women go for younger men because these look "sexy." Women are more visual than men.

The number one complaint of women is that men don’t listen. When a woman is talking, listen to what she is saying. Read here https://tr.im/tFgXe

Don’t watch her mouth and wonder what it would feel like to kiss her. Don’t stare at her chest and imagine what she looks like naked. Really listen to what she is saying then give an intelligent response, preferably on the same subject.

I just don't understand it. Only this week we had a student working with us - a tiny girl, so tiny that she looks as though she is twelve years old - she was 21. She is very pretty but the excitement she caused some of the old men was really disturbing.

It was like the attack of the paedophiles. I could have understood it if she wasn't so incredibly young looking.

it's good to have a high self esteem & not look at your age in order to feel good about your appearance , anyway , many girls out there don't know the hell they are saying or the way the are reacting by , in other words you find them scream for every celebrity , young , baby , grandpa , e.t.c , so nah

They don t but they know what a women wants & have the means to provide it.

Unlike younger men who have little idea of what women find attractive & have limited resources ie money.

This sounds like Age-Shaming (similar to Fat-Shaming). You must be a shallow, immature little person who can't get a date, and so you live in your mom's basement.



How was that? I turned around the favorite talking points of the Feminists, and used them in the other direction (against females).



Did I do okay?

Yeah let's not forget all the older women wearing teen clothing



"Is it because men are generally less critical of themselves as a whole" no, the majority of men have feelings and are self-conscious, despite your indifference to their feelings.



Some people just think they're hotter than they are. Men and women. And some older people actually are hotter. What a non-issue this is.

Because their more happy than older women. A fact.



As a woman enters her early thirties the emotional ground beneath her feet begins to shift. And most women are not prepared for THE WALL. The Wall can be understood as a generic term used to describe the point in time when a woman has moved past the prime of her physical beauty. This usually starts happening to a woman when she reaches her early to mid thirties.



Many women in their early thirties have spent almost 20 years getting male attention without fail. They were able to go on dates with men from their early twenties all the way up into their 50s or 60s. Men of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds have been giving them attention and affection.



On the other hand, older men can get the attention compared to when just as young. In fact, it just keeps getting better. As long he has the financial power and social status, any women will come grinding onto him!
