ngl men dating people their age would be a nice change
cause the situation now is really hammering home that if men could go lower, they would. 20 was the minimum age in that study.
You just made a lot of assumptions not supported by the science.
All this shows is physical attraction. When shown pictures of random women to then rate the physical attractiveness of.
That’s it. Nothing about who these men actually wanted to date. Someone can be very physically attractive to you and you can simultaneously not want to date them.
If I see “College” or “18” in a certain place, I swipe, I don’t even look.
Not saying which way is pretty dumb, bravo
I’m not talking about Tinder, I’m talking about Lemmy NSFW, so I just keep scrolling down.
Oof.
I (a man who doesn’t date me) personally feel like past five or so years in either direction it tends to rapidly fall off. Look weird and hard to relate to.
I’ve notived that Yanks are really into this, a meme circulating was that anyone with their age starting with 2 has no business dating anyone with their age starting with 1. Lmao
So you’re saying a 200 year old can’t date a 100 year old?
Half your age +7 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So a 200 year old person can’t date a 100 year old person. But it would be fine if a 200 year old person dated a 107 year old person.
Honestly I’m more side eyeing the 47 year old dating an 80 year old.
Attractive or actually want to date? I’m guessing porn stars are all around that age, but I have trouble believing the average 40 year old guy wants to date a 20 year old. Or maybe they only quizzed the older guys who like to hang out in bars?
I’m over 40 and imagine even 10 years younger would be hard to deal with.
Wait, you would not date me? Really? What do they got, that I don’t?!?
(I don’t actually want to date a guy, just jealous)
I’m 48 and my wife is 10 years younger. We have been together for 10 years. We are happy together and have enough in common to really enjoy each other’s company. We also have enough not in common to be able to give each other space. Milage varies for everyone, for sure, but at least in our case the age difference has meant nothing.
That chart isn’t of “how low” the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn’t great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.
Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.
I dated a girl much younger than me and it was ass. Literally couldn’t talk about anything interesting (to me). Dated a way older girl and it was so chill, also best sex I’ve had. Though if I were to choose (let’s be honest, I don’t get much choice) I would pick 1 or 2 years younger than me at most
Same! When I was 27 I saw a girl that was 22. After seeing her for two days I just couldn’t take it anymore. She was way too immature for me. It felt like I was dating a kid…
To be fair I was also very immature at the age of 22. But I really don’t get men who date much younger women.

Article referencing data source
To make these charts, Rudder looked at the preferences of OkCupid users. As you can see, a woman’s taste in men typically evolves as she ages, while a man’s taste in women stays the same no matter how old he gets.
Think that’s because we don’t really get much of a choice, as the women tend to marry early, and not fuck around too much, leaving us only with the women who…aren’t into anything, or are much younger.
men and women can date whomever they want at any age of an adult. its actually sexist to men says they cant.
Neither men nor women get better looking with age, so I’m not sure what the women are thinking.
Yeah, but as you get older people a certain number of years younger than you start looking like legit children. And personally, I feel like a wider range of life experiences (on average) matter more to women than to men.
But also, this chart is flawed in that we don’t know how many people per age/per gender were asked, how they calculated variation, what the error rate is, or even what the source of the data is. It’s literally just a Microsoft Office chart.
I’m not saying I want a relationship with a twenty year old or that women older than that are categorically unattractive, but as far as looks alone go, when I started puberty at 11, I thought women around 20 were the best-looking. When I was 20, I thought women around 20 were the best looking. And now that I’m 40, I still think women around 20 are the best-looking. Maybe I’ll change my mind as I keep getting older but I doubt it. Having to accept this is simply part of having to accept the more general pattern of physical decline produced by aging - I don’t look bad and women my age don’t look bad, but both they and I don’t look as good as we used to.
That’s interesting. I think women are most attractive in their late 20s to early 30s. Younger, to me, they still have child-like features. Older, the effects of aging start to take place. As for men, 30s and 40s is where it is.
They get more plump around 26, at 20, they have baby face, and are almost bones. At 26, they have a middle build. After that, they get depressed or something, and tend to be less fun. Just my opinion imho. Even if she is attractive, her personality just ruins it.
Speak for yourself. My acne is finally gone, I look super sophisticated, and they never really wanted my bulging muscles anyways.
congrats!
Good luck getting better appearance with age after you step over the 25yo threshold tho
After fully maturing we can only age, sadly
I improved drasticaly, thanks to work torture, I’m toned as fuck.
ah yes, toning! The very thing that leads to early wrinkling and higher cancer risks, while getting debatably good results! Why haven’t i thought of it?
You mean I will die early? Nice!
lol I’m decades older than that. The chart isn’t lying!
DiCaprio is that you?
Yeah I could have phrased that better. I’m apparently unusual and that’s good news for me!

Well, at lest you got some good blowjobs along the way.
She’ll probably leave behind her dentures so he can always recreate the sensation when he misses her.

The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
— Benjamin Franklin, Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress, 1745.
Ahhh, dirty old Ben! He knew a thing or two about seduction and sex. And he never let age get in the way of a good time.
As a scientist, he knew to do his field work.
I’m sure he made sure to have a good sample size to support that quote.
The rate at which he went through French Courtesans alone would have been enough.
A rich old broad just needs to wave a “free rent and game consoles” sign and she’ll have a lineup of hunky college guys

Ditto for all you women who want to get pwned…
Is no one buying his “Get Rich Quick” course?
Feminism has it’s benefits, boys. Now you too can pour your energy into making a breadwinner happy instead of having an ambitious career.
I want neither. I wish to live in the woods and give cryptic messages to feckless travellers about the Fae.
My Grand Pa once told me to marry someone rich and who was old.
I ain’t saying he a gold digger
To be fair that’s a mighty fine lady.
Who’s the GILF? Looks like AI fakeness
She finna peg his ass in that power imbalance 🤣🤣🤣
