Over 50 and still looking foxy!

[irc333]

THESE people are rare finds!

 

 

Since being with online dating, and now 40, I decided to check the 50+ age range in my area. I was banking on the fact that most women (and I'm sure men when women do their searches) tend to not look as good as they used to when they were younger.

 

Usually metabolism gets the best of you, and though you're an attractive OLDER person, there just some parts of the body that tend to be not as "round" as they used to when you're younger.

 

But, I have come across a very SMALL amount of women in my search for the "above 50" range, and some are still strikingly, droolingly attractive!

 

I was like "She's 55 and looks like THAT?!" She lives in an area domintated by a lot of retirement communities, and I am sure she'd give most men her age in the 55+ area a heart attack if she dated them. LOL

 

Of course, she had mentioned she's done weight lifting for 30+ years, so it all made sense. I mean how many women over 50, that you know, are that hardcore about their fitness?

 

And she had a nice set of boobs for her age, and they were "upright" and not really sagging. I thought that by 50, some areas of the body just sagged naturally, UNLESS she got fake ones...who knows?

 

 

OR, maybe the rarity of such women in MY area that have NOT let themselves go beyond 50, is as rare as a Unicorn?

 

It also made sense, she was divorce and had no children. I have noticed that women over a certain age, that have no kids, usually have better bodies, no stretchmarks, no post-pregnancy weight that's hard to get rid of and so on.

 

Of course, I might be going out on a limb there, but it's just something I've noticed.

 

 

Anyone noticed a trend that people are looking pretty good at an age you do not expect them to look all that great?

Thing is, the pros and cons of this

 

Pro - still looking good at that age is something that can be acheived by good genetics and maybe staying in shape (Yes, I've been to the gym where there were older people there, but they LOOKED their age, even their bodies did, so sometimes it's just good genes that play a role

 

Cons - attracting men that are 20 years younger than you. LOL If you have a body of a 30 year old woman, you'll attract 30 year old men, just a fact of life.

 

You'll attract people your age that just don't age as gracefully as you have. You're the Unicorn of your retirement community.

[Titanwolf]

I keep telling women to lift weights and I get every excuse under the sun, why they won't, including the ever so ignorant "I don't want muscles". When they hit DAT AGE, it's too late and I can't really help.

She may look awesome, but if she stopped menstruating she will lose interest in sex. Not good for a young guy. She will not be horny 24/7 like a normal 20 year old.

[stillafool]

I've lifted weights for years, worked out, in that age range, never had kids and soooo happily married.

Really, many women who no longer menstruate still have plenty of sexual desire. I think it's just as likely that a man past his sexual prime (like the OP is) would slow down in that department. Or come to a complete halt.

Holy crap, must be mother nature's idea of a sick joke? Anyhow, I disagree, I hear about how some retirement communities the sexual activities among the elderly can be just as active as the young people.

 

This was due to the fact of a high rate of STD's and Viagra being sold at an alarming rate at local pharmacies. I actually thought men's sex drives went down when they got older, while women stayed the same or got higher.

Actually, in my case, my level of "amorousness" has always been the same throughout my years. Maybe it was high in my teenage years though.

[Mme. Chaucer]

I hope the men here don't take this as any kind of an attack, because it is truly not meant as one -

 

but I am over 50 and have lots of friends in my age range. Among the couples, it's often the woman who wants more, and the man who is pretty much past it.

 

That's why Viagra and all its cohorts are such huge business.

 

Anyway, OP, this is not directed at you. Just pointing out that the libido of older women does not necessarily disappear after menopause.

[Radu]

It's pure biology tbh, if they don't have a mate they are more interested in keeping up the way they look because they are still in the competition.

 

Boobs not sagging at that age could deffinitely mean she has had some work done, but tbh ... if it's not implants it doesn't matter that much considering the age.

 

I know of one who is 60 and looks better than many 35yr olds, quite energetic too.

Her personal style also lowers her age.

She divorced nearly 30yrs ago because of an abusine husband.

 

I really need to hit the gym and become a vegan.

 

PS: Libido of older men doesn't need to dissapear either. I know a guy who just passed 50 and he looks like 35, perfectly fit and energetic.

 

PPS: New plan .... get gf who went to sports college, get her hooked on weight lifting, make her nuts over me.

Tell that to my 52 year old Dad. I still hear him going at it with his wife from the living room downstairs at night

 

He keeps himself very healthy though.....

[FitChick]

My experience is similar to Mme. Chaucer's. Men over 50 are not as interested in sex, unless they are not overweight, have a healthy diet and lifelong fitness habit. Their erections are not as hard as a younger man's. My female friends have complained that their husbands and boyfriends were not interested in sex but that could be for reasons in addition to diminished testosterone.

 

Doctors are unlikely to prescribe testosterone for fear of prostate cancer. Viagra addresses the symptom, not the problem. My friend in his mid-sixties said it was a blessing when he turned sixty because he wasn't controlled by his penis any more. He hasn't had luck dating and says at least he isn't tormented by thoughts of sex so he is much happier. He is still lonely though.

 

However, women have the option of taking bioidentical hormones which are the fountain of youth. Increased sex drive, more energy, better skin tone. And men notice, even younger men. When I was in my twenties, and this seemed to be the experience of my girlfriends that age, we weren't that interested in sex.

Erectile dysfunction strikes 50+ year old men because, well, have you seen the average 50+ year old woman naked?

There are studies to confirm that as people age, women want sex more than men. What can you say? Loveshack isn't exactly full of smart people.

[ThaWholigan]

Women typically reach their sexual prime in their 40s. Make of that what you will.

 

Men can prolong their sexual health till then (if they stay healthy of course), but their prime will always be their 20s. (I've got some time to make up )

I thought with older men, it was a case of the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak, thus viagra & cialis are big business. I remember reading a survey of women in their 40s in relation to wanting more sex, and it had more preferred to read a good book, more preferred to eat a box of chocolates, more preferred their partner do something nice for them. Somewhat of a bleak picture for any single guy hitting 40. What Algermas said too, comes into effect, though I've no doubt of course that many older women could easily say they need a new/renovated partner to get inspired, too.

 

At the gyms I've trained at its really rare to see an older woman pumping iron. There are gyms out there now that cater exclusively for older women, and maybe this is where they all go. I really think weight training (and associated diet) does help people to look & feel younger as they age, but as someone else mentioned, you cant just start it up when you are retired and expect to turn back the clock....though its never to too late to excercise.

 

As for foxy older women, yep they are out there...they're sexy and they know it, and they want sexy or successful($) man.

[mario_C]

OMG people in their 50s and 60s a. still love sex and b. remain committed to health and fitness?! Stop the presses!!!

We older people are from the early phase of a generation raised on fitness trends, diets, hedonism and body idealization. So of course as we get older, we're going to fight it with everything we've got.

Over the years you figure out what foods are right for you, how to maximize your workout, plus basic facts that if you don't stay heart-healthy and fit, your Johnson will not get up and stay up anymore, your breasts will collapse like the Hindenburg on fire, etc. Maybe most people just stop caring or stop believing it's worth the effort - sometimes I do, I am not perfect - but people who do remain committed every day and try their best...are not in this forum because they are in loving relationships.

And with that, I say happy 4th of July. I'm going to the beach!

I have a better example of a woman the same age.

The one I was speaking of, lives near an area full for over 55 retirement communities. Don't think that's going to happen in her case, considering the income for retirees are just people living off of social security income, and maybe their small pension from the job they retired from.

 

And most of the men at her age, at least have some kind of "pooch" going on down by their stomach. So she's kind of screwed. lol The area is not really big on the "successful", they are usually married to housewives that hardly work themselves.

But unfortunately, they reach their physical prime around 25.

[Oxy Moronovich]

I don't think women completely lose it when they get older, but why do people have to cling to myths to justify it?

 

The idea that a woman's sex drive hits its peak at 40 , while a man becomes totally impotent, is something that is promoted frequently in our culture, yet it makes no sense. Just more crap Oprah-type agencies push to sell you junk and make you feel good at another persons expense. I had a sexual interaction with a considerably older woman a few years ago (likely early 40's), and while it was great, there was a slight issue with maintaining lubrication throughout the experience (and yes, I can already predict the attacks that it was my fault). This in my opinion is no different than a man who loses his boner, and it can happen at any age for a myriad of reasons.

 

A woman hitting her sexual peak in her 40's and 50's makes absolutely no biological sense , and isn't true either. The real reason women give off a more sexual impression at this age is because they're not getting a fraction of the attention as they did in their 20's, and probably aren't

having sex as much because of lifes pressures or a poor marriage.

 

That said , I think women who are older can be very sexy for a myriad of reasons, but there's no need to put down older men to make yourselves feel better or justify the fact that you yourselves prefer younger, more fit, agile men.

 

I typically don't agree with trolls but this post, particularly the bolded part, makes the most sense. It doesn't make any biological sense whatsoever that a woman reaches sexual peak in 40s and 50s. And I also do agree with the part about women that age giving off a much more sexual impression because they go after it more aggressively than when they were at an age when they didn't have to go after it as much (20s).

But I've heard if you lift weights and then you stop, your body will look bad and loose.

[without]

I prefer natural exercises anytime. Like running and walking.

 

Plus I think she either has good genes or had some surgeries. And single mid-aged/old people seem younger. They take care of themselves better.
