question for men 50 and older---though anyone can answer
Posted : 11 Oct, 2010 06:29 PM

Why is it at even 50 and older most men on here are looking for women way younger than they are? I am 52 but I feel I have a young mind. I love the Lord, love life, my family and have a good heart yet I feel like the only way to a man's heart is to be 20-30.



Dont Christian men EVER care for a woman because of inner beauty?

Springrose10, Pixy and Rabbit- I have really enjoyed reading your posts. No worries SpringRose, you didnt hijack my thread. Thank you for the encouraging words.



Pixy, you too have my prayers. Your pic shows you beautiful and your heart also matchs! You have wisdom too!



Thank you Rabbit for your insights. You were the one brave man willing to put it out there! :) I appreciate that so much.



It is true men often become better looking with age making them distinguished. Funny how age changes our views. I can look at a woman and if she is living for the Lord I see the beauty that emanates from her heart. Wrinkles show how she or he was able to laugh even through the tough times. Wisdom shows as does compassion. But that is true for any age.



Your friend Springrose must have touched so many hearts.



My thoughts are a bit hard to explain.. Maybe this verse sums it up best.



I look at a Proverbs 31:29-31.

Source(s):

A good woman is hard to find. Many women have done wonderful things. But you outclass them all.Charm can mislead and beauty fades.The woman to be admired is the woman who lives in the fear of God.Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!



The Message Bible



God Bless you all... if you ever want to say hello email me!





p.s. I am not in the least jealous of those younger than myself and hope my question didnt make me sound like that. I appreciate so much right where I am in life!! God is sooo good!

Marie, welcome to the forum (sorry for the late welcome lol)! If those men aren't interested in you, then they have their loss! =) Eh I hope you would still come visit this post since I kinda have another question to throw lol well I have this on my mind.. Since men are after women half their age seem to be "usual", what about if the situation is vice versa? Well doesn't mean that we are after way younger men than we are, but those younger men are after us? How would you feel about it? Just curious =) Me personally, can't imagine being on a date with 12 year old boy, people would think I'm his teacher or worse, his mom probably lol, not his date lol



Rabbit, gud point. Yeah I believe it has something to do with men's self esteem. Based on my observation, the older they are, the bigger chance they go for women half their age. Since again, if they go for women half their age when they were in their 20s, it would be considered as pedophile lol



Rose, I pray that my hubby would compliment me always like the way Sandiaboy complimented you =) And I totally agree, one of the most beautiful women on earth is Mother Teresa, who could say that she was ugly?



Pix, I read on the magazine to never comb your hair when it's wet (it worked for me, if I comb it when it's wet ewww so many hair falls). Praying for your healing also, sis! =)

Another point men as they grow older never stop being attrated to what they like. There attration never advances with their age. But engaing with someone who is immature mentally, or spiritually can be like getting lemon juice in your eye.

Rabbit32 you sound like you have a lot of growing up to do still. You stated it as a self esteemed booster to have some younger woman. Yes there are some men that are always looking for some young tart to make them feel confident but some women do that as well.



I have this girlfriend that has been caring on an affair with a married man for about 4 years now. She is almost 36 and he is about 25. Yes she does have very low self esteem. It makes her feel special that this much and in her eyes hot guy would be interested in her. I try to nicely tell her that he would sleep with any one that would give it away to him. The situation is very easy for him to hook up with her and he knows she wont say any thing.



The whole saying of beauty fades is just silly. Youth fades but that does not mean that the person is not still beautiful. Are we such victims of the media that we think that if a woman does not look like those photoshopped photos floating out there she is not beautiful?



I am 37 and have always had men attracted to me. Younger older. Even a few of my sons friends have hit on my (very embarrassing). So no not all men care if you are 18-25. That's just silly.



Leave the men that are caught up in there low self esteem and mid life crises to there own foolishness. Find ones that are embracing there age and yours as well.

Age doesn't make a difference if God sovereignly brings two people together knowing they are His BEST for each other ... but if God isn't involved in the bringing together, age can make a BIG difference because of the needs and expectations of different age groups toward being able to enjoy the same types of music, books, movies, age-related activities etc that you have been hoping and dreaming of sharing with that SPECIAL gal or guy ... and I think God is mindful of this need too and except for maybe some VERY special cases, brings people together who are not TOO far apart in age range , like so far apart as say one being in their 20s and the other in their 60s and up ... personally, sure, I'm ATTRACTED to a beautiful gal physically whatever their age like most men, but that's just ol' physical attraction, and for me THAT's wisely not enough ... we need to share having growing up and young and maturing adult years in common, such as knowing who people are that we've been fans of together from the 50s through the 70s and even early 80s, favorite music and groups, TV series and movies to relate to, our generational time periods that we've enjoyed and through which God has grown us up to know and love Him more and more ... so ... I'm not looking for the love of the rest of my life who is God's BEST for me to be any younger than 40 ... and anywhere in between 40 and up to my age of 64 ... unless God clearly shows the gal and I otherwise.



Steve

Again, I know several single older (35+) guys who still want to have kids. Women in the 35+ age range are going to have either a very limited window of opportunity to have kids, or won't be able to have them anymore. Is this an illegitimate desire?

@Canada it only sounds that way cause your not hearing me correctly. You dont have to but it would be wise to go back and reread what Ive posted.



I dont think its so silly to think physical beauty fades with time, Ive seen it with my own eyes. Some are just more fortunate than others.

ILiveInCanada, usually I appreciate what you have to say, but you're letting your emotions drive what you think of Rabbit's post, instead of what he actually said. Let me see if I can explain it in such a way that doesn't rouse your ire. Guys get a self-esteem boost when a woman they find attractive shows interest in them; for guys 50+, if it's a much younger woman, it says to them, "Hey, I've still got it! Yowza!" or something like that. That doesn't mean that they are justified in trying to form a relationship with much younger women. It means for a moment, that they get to feel like a movie star. That's all.



Of course guys that think that they can make a relationship out of such a situation are fooling themselves. Not everything that appeals to us is good for us or even really works. Most guys just appreciate those actions as a compliment and go on, but some famously take a mile given an inch. It's the latter group of people that are the problem.

Well the Bible doesn't mention anything about beauty fades, it only states about charm is deceitful and beauty is vain. But biologically, outer beauty does fade.
