Bah the media spins everything nowdays.
Society has spoken for decades on how the two sides interact and at what ages-
Men:
Round one: 22-28. The "young man" viewed for strength and I suppose whatever sexual attributes would coincide with that. Perhaps easier to manipulate due to inexperience. For most men this is their peak physical status for their lives and women of all ages are interested in them for that.
Round two: 40's, 50's, wherever they are still fit for the most part and just starting to turn grey. Now seen as experienced and strong in a different way, accomplished, confident. Size of wallet makes a big difference here. Women seek this man for stability and long term. Still, there are certain physical attributes women are drawn to.
Round three: Old. Women are not attracted to you. They have either been with you for a long time and you are a close friend in retirement or they love your money. Don't kid yourself otherwise.
Women:
Yeah young. Between late teens and late 20's. Personality and maturity are not included in physical traits, but are included in the whole. This is why men are not always turned off by older women- the physical aspects are only one piece of the pie, but are undeniably tied to age. If this was not so there wouldn't be multi-billion dollar industries based on trying to keep people looking young.
Men are ready to find a life partner in their early 20's. Women will be undecided until their late 20's. This fluctuates year to year depending on how our society is functioning but basically women won;t decide what they want until they can no longer exploit their youthful beauty and begin to contemplate what they want and need for the rest of their life. In modern times women have been told they can have a career and be strong and independant, but also told they should be treated like a princess and their man should take care of them. They should have a career and a family also and get to work and also get to stay home and be pampered. And so we see women as single moms going into their late 30's wondering why they can't settle down, why men aren't knocking the door down for them.
Physical beauty has not changed. Women's expectations certainly have, especially of "their man" and society and especially the media are scrambling to cope.
Times really, really did used to be simpler.
