I am 64. I think younger women can certainly be decorative, but I really don’t find women under maybe fifty to be attractive. ---

I wrote a thread [on this not that long ago](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=831412). I am 44 and have generally been only attracted to women 23 - 35 even when I was in high school and college. That still hasn’t moved much but I have made some progress. I am very looks oriented as a first pass but there are still some attractive women in their 40’s if you look hard enough. I have gone out with a dressage champion that is 46. She is a stunner but that is because she trains almost every day. I am waiting on a call from a 46 year old anesthesiologist to go out today that is also a stunner. I am a sucker for rich Jewish women even if they slacked off a little but this one has it all. I feel a little inadequate but I will do my best. I can’t see now how things will work when I am in my 50’s or above. I don’t want to french kiss my grandma (RIP) but I am sure I can come up with something. The thing that gets me now though is how young those so-called hot 20-somethings look. I have a 15 year old daughter that has gone through puberty just like her friends and I drive them around. I still think of it as babysitting even though some of them could pass for college students. There is no way I could ever be attracted to them. That is just an instinctive mental block. I think I need a perpetual 33 year old. ---

This 57-y.o. female has noticed that guys are finally noticing me again too. And, some of them are age-appropriate. But I do find intelligence to be far more attractive than looks, a good thing because i’m having weight issues. But guys are still noticing, despite those issues, and I it makes me happy. ---

Do men ever really just give it up? By the time you are in your 60s you would think they could have alittle more decorum. Thirsty is not a trait that is desirable or appealing, at all! And BTW young women who chase older men are looking for sugar daddies! ---

Thirsty is not a trait that is desirable or appealing, at all! And BTW young women who chase older men are looking for sugar daddies! You’re confusing noticing with chasing. Just because I appreciate an attractive female does not mean I’m going on point like a hunting dog. Neither do I believe that every young woman with an older man is a gold digger, I would bet that way, to be sure, but that’s cynicism not knowledge. ---

I don’t do decorum. It’s a limitation, but I’m a little lonesome right now. ---

But yeah, there’s a stretch when we continue being idiots. Think of men as being like dogs. For years we are utterly stupid. At that point the dogs die, and humans get a clue. ---

I’ve wasted the evening looking into YouTube about Italian cars (slightly) younger than I. There’s any number of subspecies of car nuts. There are muscle car folks. There are Cord/Auburn/Duesenberg aficionados. My personal weakness is '50s and '60s European, perhaps reaching a pinnacle with the Ferrari 250LM or Lamborghini Miura. But each to their own. ---

Er, I mean the long-nose LM with the notch-back or the boxy, mid-engined one? This is important. 😉 ---

This is important. 😉 It’s mid-engined, but I wouldn’t remotely call it boxy.

Kid…hi. Be what you are. But really, Testa Rossa or the boxy, yes they’re boxy, mid-engine 250LM of '65?
