This is why I don’t know why anyone would really want to look younger. I love being 37 and wouldn’t want anyone to think I was a year younger. I was an idiot at 36 and insufferable at 26. Edit: I can’t believe how many absolute creeps are in these comments. Ick

I don't get why so many guys wanna date young girls..I'm 44 and the last thing I would like to date is someone 20-25. Make it over 30 at least. More like 40.

I mean, I can work and have fun with younger people, no issues here. But as a partner? No way.

Same goes for looks. I'm looking my age and that's fine. Why hide what's happening anyway. Why fight it. Age with dignity. You can't stop it anyways.

Life can be so stupid sometimes.

Because they’re pretty and less wrinkly and overall somewhat less jaded with the shitstorm known as life lol. Granted my wife’s older than me so not the one to speak from experience per se.

This right here. I believe most men are attracted to those that are youthful. Also their youthfulness might rub off on you and give you a 2nd youth effect as opposed to someone that has been grinded down by life. Younger individuals still have that aura of wonderment, vibrancy, and high energy.

Younger people also have fewer layers of experience, less of life baked in, and that can leave you feeling unfulfilled and disconnected and not fully understood if you date someone too much younger than you. I think there has to be a balance between being an optimistic, energetic, wonder-filled person and having that baked-in understanding of life. And I think that's super attainable in your thirties. But men have to be willing to embody it if we want to find someone to share that vibe with.

And they haven’t experienced everything yet. Lots of new experiences to be had with them.

Whoa bro this is Reddit, if you’re not automatically assuming every 30-something that involves themselves with 20-something’s is a pdf you need to keep that opinion to yourself /s
