Question About Physical Attraction

[Raidergal2022]

Just a question about physical attraction really

Obviously we all know that personality /connection is important but just for now I’m asking about physical attraction

You know how people get attracted to the opposite sex/get curious/have a desire to see them without clothing..

.. well assuming a woman/man (who is a stranger) remains slim and physically fit throughout their lives (uncommon but let’s assume), at what age would they have to be before your attraction to them or desire/curiosity at seeing them without clothing starts to disappear?

In other words at what age do people start to become less PHYSICALLY attractive (if they were to remain in shape)

I have been married for many years and neither my wife nor I are in our prime but when I look at her I still see the woman I married, and she is still very attractive and desirable in my eyes.
Strangely, many of her friends of a similar age just look like old women to me.

When I got married in my early 20s I did not find women of pension age attractive and had no desire to see them naked. Now I am old I find many women of a similar age to be very attractive. It's all relative

Thanks for your reply Barry

Can’t help but point out (no offence) that your post seems to contradict itself a bit

On one hand you say that your wife’s friends are not attractive to you/look like old women

In another sentence you say you find many women of a similar age attractive

Unless Im misunderstanding

Thanks for your answer though

Out of interest do you think it’s them being old that limits your attraction to older women or is it that they are (I’m assuming) not in the same physical shape that they were

It's a bit more complicated than that. There will always be someone who finds a person physically attractive no matter what they look like.
You must have heard someone say, I wonder what he sees in her or I wonder what she sees in him?
I don't think you could say a man or a woman become less physically attractive when they reach a certain age.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'm sure Barry would agree.

I can’t remember ever thinking I wanted to see anyone without their clothing.

I didn't say that I don't find my wife's friends attractive, I said they look like the old women they are. Some of them are very attractive to me at my age but as they look now I would not have been attracted to them when I was a young man.

Don't watch Naked Attraction. :-)

You're trying to put life into little boxes, it doesn't work like that.

[naomi24]

Barsel, I know what that is. I don’t.

As soon as I am bored bored with them sexually, then they automatically become less attractive to me.

Simple concept really.

Raider; looking at some of your earlier posts, you seem to be no longer a 'kid' and are looking for reassurance that you are no longer 'past it'.
Sexual attraction is not simply down to physical appearance. I think that a woman can be extremely sexy if she has certain characteristics such as sexual confidence and personal confidence (ability to talk openly about what she wants and what she likes), empathy (a sense of understanding and being interested in others), or even an apparent vulnerability (which could of course attract the wrong sort).
I think the main thing is to be yourself and act as if you don't give a toss, even if you do.
I'm sure none of the above will be particularly helpful, but I think that being yourself is what you should be; whatever you are, there will be lots of people who find that attractive.
Best wishes. :-)

I'm with Naomi here. The last thing I would be thinking about when I met a man I was attracted to was to see him naked. Perhaps it's a man thing.
What I was attracted to was friendliness, humour, kindness, self deprecation, open minded and very important, cleanliness.

[Barsel]

LB you don't know how clean he is though until he takes his grungies off.

[Atheist]

Barsel; you only have to sniff!

[ladybirder]

Thanks Barsel, gagging here!

[Peter Pedant]

I dont think she is talking about a weight lifter: they never wash

[Barsel]

OMG I'm glad I'm not into this dating malarkey anymore.

[Atheist]

I forgot to list the smell of a woman as being the most potent attractive trait. Most animals do tit, but some humans have become so pernickety as to deny it to themselves and others.

[Atheist]

'do it' !

[Arksided]

I think it was Billy Connolly who was saying about making love in the dark... Lady: What are you doing eating a pack of crisps?
reply: No... taking my underpants off.

Wondered where you were going with that one @19.30!
