Women, do your standards change

sktllmdrhmz

based on the age guy you're looking at? Do the older guys get cut any six pack slack? Does an older guy who is super fit stand a significantly higher chance of getting noticed?

Do my "standards" change based on age - absolutely not. Do I cut older guys some slack? Of course! I would hope they'd do the same for me - I'm not as skinny as I was when I was in my teens and 20's. Although I'm much HEALTHIER than I was then because I eat right and exercise regularly.

Does an older guy who is super fit stand a significantly higher chance of getting noticed? - ANY super-fit guy has a higher chance of getting noticed! But any good looking guy stands a higher chance of getting noticed!

For the record - younger guys that are built/ripped are almost automatically dismissed by me since in my experience they tend to fall in the category of "meat head" for me. Yes, that's me being judgemental based on past experiences. Older built/ripped guys aren't as easily dismissed.

I really don't judge anyone based on how much they weigh or do not weigh. I wouldn't date someone who was morbidly obese because I don't want the extra stress of wondering if they are going to have a heart attack. I tend to date guys 30-38, and I don't consider that old enough to need some slack cut..haha.

My standards are pretty high, that being said I believe attractiveness takes many forms. And as long as a man carries well what he has, hakuna matata

It is all about brains for me first and if you have a great body to go with it then all the better!

I don't judge people based on their looks period. I know, sounds crazy, but unless their weight poses a health risk I really couldn't care less.

Well, I'm probably not the best person to answer this because I've been with the same person for the last 5 years and plan on marrying him one day so I really don't have any standards for other people at all lol. However, age is important to me only in that I want someone who is close to my age, 2 years older max (and we're only 7months apart). Secondly, I am so not picky at all when it comes to fitness. My fiance isn't in shape at all. He's average sized with a little belly. It doesn't bother me at all. His personality and his looks (face, style, etc) were what attracted me to him in the beginning!

My standards have always been treat me nice, and lets laugh and love life together.

if a guy is older than 40 and has a ripped *kitten* body, hands DOWN the pants... wait, no, def get noticed. younger guys it's just easier for them, same as old hags like me. :smokin:

Most of the time, when I meet a man, he's wearing clothes, so I wouldn't have a clue if he has a six pack. I notice faces first and then personality, so physical appearance really isn't much of an issue for me. I've been that way my whole life.

And a guy who may not be very physically attractive to me at first can eventually become so once I get to know him. On the flip side, a man who is very attractive to me can begin to look very ugly once I get to know him.

Hehhe... I'm not sure why I just found this topic so amusing.

But no, my standards don't change depending on age

LOL @ PapaverSomnif

I've never been out with anyone with a six pack. They're nice to drool over when they're being paraded about in movies but in real day to day life most of the guys I've ever met are a bit squidgy round the middle lol. My other half doesn't have a six pack but he's still gorgeous and I love him

Older guys ROCK :drinker: They get a pass just cause they are older :flowerforyou:

I have, and I took so much of his crap cuz as soon as he took his shirt off I forgot what we were fighting about :happy:

I've never really thought about it before, I think it would depend on how much older the guy was. But since I will admit to wanting the guy to be within about 4 maybe 5 yrs of my age (preferably older rather than younger) for me to want anything more than a dance partner or friend I would say the amount of slack I cut is going to be based off how he carries himself, how he treats me, and his status (i.e. divorced with kids, how many hours he works a week, etc.).

bluegrasschica

I've never been with anyone who has a six pack either but it doesn't really bother me at all cause a guy with a good personality is way better looking in my book

RMuske

My standards are fairly high and don't change as far as I am aware of based on the guys age. I think they are the same for any guy within the age range I would date.

sleepytexan

You could always lower your standards, and then after a while, guys on parole look pretty good.

empenTen

Its important to me that the man takes care of themselves and makes a bit of an effort. Not to any unreasonable standards - just has a shave, does his hair, trims the necessary and doesnt just let himself go. This is reflected in his weight I think too. If I am making an effort to be healthy and care about my own appearance then I would expect the same.

I would cut an older guy some slack for losing his hair and carrying a bit extra round the middle so in that sense my standards are changing as I am getting older.

Perhaps this is why I am eternally single

Well said!

picassoadagio

I have my moments when I can be picky.

ashleyacee

I only care about whether they live a healthy lifestyle or not. I need someone who trys to look healthy because I do, but that doesn't mean abs or big muscles. Yes older guys get cut slack.

EllieMo

Nope. A six pack isn't going to make me laugh, so who cares a toss whether it's there not?

atjays

i have no standards.

How are YOU doin' ? lol Awesome response!


As much as girls admire and drool over V's and 6 packs and such, I'd imagine only a very small percent actually "require" it in their guy. Go out sometime and just people watch. I think you'd be shocked how relaxed absolutely gorgeous girls' standards can be, and if they're the top of the pile, then you'd have to imagine that the majority of women are about the same. Similar situation at popular meeting places like bars. The guys getting lucky every night are the ones who can walk up and talk to a girl and hold an interesting conversation, far more likely to get it than the meathead who walks up and drops some lame pick up line hoping his looks save him.

No slack needed for you!

I'm not an ageist and I don't have a specific type. I find a lot of different people attractive. Physically there is very little in common in the guys I have dated. I like to play a lot and enjoy being outside, so I mesh better with someone who can keep up and play too. If I have to push to keep up with them, even better! I guess that is a thumbs up on a guy being fit at any age being attractive. I definitely workout to be able to keep up with my guy now and I love that!

MissyMissy18

I've dated nearly every kind of body type you can think of, and I was equally attracted to each of them while I was with them. I cut EVERYONE some slack for not having a six pack!
