  A wise woman* once opined that a man wasn’t old until there were no women his age he found attractive, and that a woman was old the first time she looked for a dress to make her look younger.

    I always wondered if older people’s taste changes with them or they don’t have a lot of options? Like when I’m 80, will I find other people similar in age attractive?

      I can’t say anything about 80, but the 20 year old guys I liked when I was 20 are definitely not hot anymore now that I’m in my late 30s. The late 30s guys I used to think we’re basically one foot in the grave look a lot more interesting nowadays.

      I can say that so far I was attracted to women my age, not older and not younger. Now I can appreciate good-looking women 10+ years older than me but I don’t feel attraction to them, it’s just in a sense “she looks quite nice, good for her”.

      In both cases it’s internalized.

      Remember the line where a 20something actor says that he should have stayed in high school, because high school girls stay the same age and he’s getting older?

    this therefore means every gay man is old

    and butch women (or simple women who dislike dressed) never get old

      lol!

      I’ve worked retail, and seen old women spending hours picking out the right pair of Doc Martens.

      You can be butch and fashion conscious.

    That seems to be my experience so that’s handy.

    Doesn’t exactly help me much though.

  If your great grandfather is 84, and you’re old enough to be posting on reddit…it seems you have a family history of youthful virility.

  You’re going to end up with a new first cousin twice-removed, if great-gramps doesn’t remove first.
