I recently heard about the "sweet spot" and really have seen it taking place in my life in the last year since being single again. I am 39 and slender, fit, and younger looking. I have noticed that younger women at work still flirt with me alot, I mean women who are 20 to 25. I havent acted upon any of the flirting yet and ventured into dating territory with any of them yet. Sure, I am attracted to them, but still unsure as to how I really feel about the age difference. I dont know if they are unaware of my true age, or just dont care because I am engaging, funny and still somewhat attractive for my age. On the flipside, I find myself increasingly more and more attracted to older women. I see them at the gym, out on the town, at the coffee shop, etc. Women who in my estimation are late 40's - early 50's and still smoking hot, and still sending out a sexual vibe. I dont get many responses from these older women unfortunately... Either they are more experienced at subliminal flirtation, or they see me as being too young, or??? But back to the jist of this topic,... I do definitely see and enjoy having some flexibility in my dating pool. Feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, I can see this phenomnenon occuring for both genders. If one is slim, attractive, confident and funny, then that person is attractive to the opposite sex from ages 15 to 99!!! My daughter is 15 and has found a man she likes and he is 65!! I think of all the grannies I have seen in the hospital whose eyes light up whenever thery see a good looking young doctor approach them! I have had offers to date guys in their twenties and I am 50!
Personally, I have always found men in their forties to be at their hottest, shall we say. They have grown out of their baby face looks and also out of their boyish types of behaviour. Although, I wouldn't want to see them completely lose their playfullness! Everyone needs to act like a kid once in awhile.
I have noticed, sadly, that on one of the online dating sites, where it tells you to put down the range of ages you are interested in connecting with, that most men in their forties and early fifties will not include a woman over 50. They will put down 28 - 48 but very rarely over 50. There are a lot of attractive and exciting women over the age of 50!
