When I was a teenager, I thought people in their 20’s were the most attractive. Now that I’m about 40, I still think people in their 20’s are the most attractive. It’s hard for me to believe that I might ever be attracted to someone past retirement age, even when I’m past retirement age myself, unless the person is like one of those celebrities who look way younger than they are.

This isn’t something I can comfortably ask most older people I know, but there’s one man who admits that he isn’t and one woman who is. Which is more normal?

    What I find attractive has generally increased as I’ve gotten older. Now that I’m a dad I’m my 30’s moms in their 30’s are way more attractive to me than when I was a teen. I live in a college town, and sure the college girls are really pretty. Buts it’s different now that I’m older. I don’t really want to be involved romantically with them anymore. They feel too much like kids. Still pretty, but not for me.
