.....they've aged well?

Like they look young for their age...perhaps as young as the younger men pursuing them?

You know, that is a very good question and I, for one, would love to see some replies to this.

What does that mean, really? How does 35 look, 45, 55, 65? It's a combination of genetics, stress levels, activity, good nutrition, good attitude and how much you are loved. People say I look young for my age(almost 58). It's the package I have been blessed with. I do take pretty good care of myself, maintain high activity levels, eat really healthy, and do all I can to surround myself with loving, caring friends.

In all of the years I have been dating younger men(since I was 25) I have never been looked at askance, heard nasty comments or had any problems with agegap relationships except one. Is there really a decisive answer to that question since we all perceive how people look in different ways?

It depends on the individuals who are interacting. It's about chemistry and attraction. That's very challenging to assess unless you are in each others" presence. Get eyeball to eyeball asap. What may appear to be attractive on a flat screen could lack the dimension you were hoping for "in person" regardless of how old or young the person may appear to be.

Tony~ I would reply that it works both ways, dont you think? Just because a man is younger doesnt make him "all that" unless he too has taken care of himself, has a healthy mind and body. Healthy people seek healthy people.

When one is dating a guy 25 years or so younger, there's no way a gal can "look his age". I for one disagree that the woman has to look as young as the guy. At least that has been my experience.

well said, orchid. Ive been asked if he was my son, my lover or my friend. and replied "all".

for me it doesnt matter if they look their age, if they look younger or older. Thats what I think but maybe its different for other guys.

What does "looking your age" really mean though. You got what you got in the genetic wheel of fortune. Make the best of "all" of your assets, inside and out. That's attractive at "any" age! ;->

When I have dated older women they have always looked older than me. I don't think the woman needs to look as young as the man. To be honest, if they look older then I find that part of the attraction.

There are women younger than me who look older than their years and vice versa. So it works both ways.
