    Feminism has it’s benefits, boys. Now you too can pour your energy into making a breadwinner happy instead of having an ambitious career.

    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.

    It’s rather amazing how fit and sexy older women can be now days. I was dating hot and heavy around 2019-2022 and was stunned at the women I was pulling at 49 to 51 years old. (Kinda cheating as I have factory original hair and teeth, non-fat, non-MAGA, rather rare in this age group.)

    Dated one beautiful girl that was a diver and swam in the Gulf most days, yes, even in January. Another was a vegan marathon runner. One would turn heads wherever we went, had the personality to go with the looks, could hike until I dropped dead. Good heavens those women were ripped. I’m daily amazed by my 54-yo wife, but she got Asian genes, hardly moves, cheating!

    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.
    Picture of a graph titled "Ages of Partners Men & Women Find Most Attractive". The data for women shows they tend to find people their age (or a bit younger) most attractive, while the data for men shows that no matter their age, they all tend to find partners around 20 most attractive.

      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.

      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.

        Yep, talk to a 10/10, then opens her mouth saying she wants to vote for Trump and completely flaccid. I suspect the reverse also happens.

      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.
