So do we as men really get more attractive as we age, or is it the illusion of added security and knowledge that makes older men more attractive?

    I think it's the decreased sex drive that seems to accompany increased age in men. Who wants a sure thing? I want to work for it!

    It really depends on the man, some men become more attractive as they age, but some definitely do not. It is as much about taking pride in yourself and your appearance as anything else. Added security and knowledge will only get you so far. If you don't care enough about yourself to take care of yourself, then you will never get as much respect as someone who does, no matter what else you have going for you.

    I think it's both. Men (usually) mature as they get older and most women like that. But also, the looks become more "manly" looking rather than a young guy...

    There is a definite sense of security but there is also a change that age brings to the features, it removes the feeling of boyhood silliness. A man as he ages no longer looks like someone we need to take are of but someone who can handle sharing the responsibilities of life with us.

    I think it has something to do with those old wrinkly balls that Adam Sandler once seemed so disgusted by

    I think a lot of guys look more attractive as they get older. Based on physicality alone.

    ETA: Everyone is different though, just like some women end up looking better in their 30's and beyond than they did in their 20's.

    I do believe men start looking their best after 35.

    I find older men more attractive as I age.

    The other day I saw a kid and dear lord he was actually in his 20s, but that's how I saw him...as a kid. To me men in their 30s and 40s are the ones I now find attractive. It doesn't have so much to do with security as maturity and shared experiences in common. I just can't relate to someone who was born in 1990.

    Some do, some don't. It's a genetic lottery.

    Examples:

    Sean Connery

    Harrison Ford

    You go ahead and guess which categories I put these two fellows in respectively.

    My wife always says she is going to have the hottest 50 year old on the planet. I tease her that she has daddy issues. :laugh:

    i think it depends on the dude....

    some never age....look at Mark Hamill or Davy Jones...they still looked too young even when they were older...

    justin bieber's babyface is gonna haunt him before he grow into it...

    others...well they were made for age....clooney? he got BETTER....(in my eyes that is...i realise this is subjective)

    depends on the person, the way they look and of course the hormones gazing at these men....

    too many variables really

    Men look better after early to mid thirties. They fill out and become more masculine.

    There's a guy in my office complex that used to look like such a boy...I've been there six years, and he's clearly moved past that mark because now he's broad shouldered, stronger in the jaw and just generally more pleasing to look at

    What decreased sex drive? I'm 47. It hasn't decreased at all.

    If your name is Sean Connery and you are asking, "Have I grown more attractive with age?" then answer is YES, YES, YES!!!

    Yep. Same goes for me. When I was younger I wouldn't date a man more than a couple years older. I've recently dated a man 13 years my senior.

    Then there's men like LL Cool J who just don't seem to age :love:
