A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

i keep reading that men prefer younger women and this is starting to panic me as we're all getting older and i haven't yet met the man of my dreams! I'm worried it'll get too late. At which age do women lose their appeal to men?

You are NOT too old. In fact, I bet your are very, very attractive. I see a lot of women your age every day, and believe me, they are beautiful and sexy! I bet you are too!

Also, when I was 33, I had a relationship with a 42 year old woman, and she was so gorgeous and sexy that I would get an erection just from hugging her!! So even if you get older, believe me, you will still be attractive to men you age, older men, and even younger men.

As far as your self-esteem, try and see a counselor or psychologist. They can help you feel better about yourself. Also, try getting on some dating sites, like Match.com and post a picture of yourself and a profile. I bet you will get LOTS of interest from men your own age, and even younger.

Best of luck to you sweetheart! I am sure you are a beautiful young woman and I know you will find a man who will love you and cherish you for the rest of your life.

duskyrowe agony auntDarling, You could be sending the wrong signals to guys, surrendering the fact that you are too old and and look miserable.

Guys love confident women who feels good about themselves, but also not arrogant. If you are going to shy away in a little corner feeling sorry for yourself and looking miserable.... They are hardly gonna approach you are they?

Subtle eye contact and body language is also important

There are plenty of men who loves women of all ages. Go out stock up on lovely feminine clothes in your wardrobe, get a new hairstyle have fun with your friends and I can guarentee you will have the men flocking to you.

I have been dating a very handsome guy for nine months now, he is 34 and I am 40 years old grandmother of a beautiful grandaughter who is six weeks old.

So you see I am living proof that if I can do it then so can you.

Hi

well it depends really....ask CHER and TINA TURNER... we cant always have the same appeal as women like this, but men find confidence appealing and humour and a woman that is adventurous in and out of bed...you only loose your appeal to men when you want to. either shine on or START SHINING and don't waste life dreaming, get living it...and trying them out. Make the absolute best of YOU inside and outside...and stop the worry and panic as this is unappealing make your own dreams come true.

best of luck..age is not the issue..the mind is of how you veiw age.

For me too old is about 7 years older than I am. So 30 isn't too old as far as I'm concerned.

Okay I am 29 -30 in about 7 months. I keep reading how men much prefer young women, with innocence and tiny tight bodies. Even on this website I read a reply to a woman in her 30s where a man said she had to lower her standards as men get more choice as they get older and women get less! I'm so scared i wasted the best years of my life going out with people who weren't right for me.

LazyGuy agony auntWell, personally I have to admit I go for the older type. Unusual I know but I am willing to go as high as say 18.

But really even I draw the line at 20, past that and you might as well be humping a coffin. Robbing the grave it is called.

Are you kidding me?

You are late 20's? Yeah, your life is over alright.

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/i-saw-my-44-yearold-mother-having-sex.html

So, clearly women still have got it at 44 no matter how much that may shock their sons.

I could be serious about your question if you were 10-20 years older but late 20's? Come on.

A female reader, bday121 United States +, writes (5 July 2008):

bday121 agony auntAt the top of your post it says you're between 26-29 years old. Ok, 26-29 is NOT old! You're in your prime! I have never heard anyone call a twenty-something woman "old"!

I don't think a woman ever necessarily loses her appeal. Perhaps some men prefer younger women, but many men also prefer mature women, and don't forget that there will always be men who are the same age as you!

I really think you should relax about this. If you're worried about getting married, well, lots of women today don't get married or have babies until they're well into their thirties.

I'd say a woman is not offically "old" until she hits 65+. Honestly. And even then, "old" is still a lot about attitude.

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (5 July 2008):

You aren't even 30!! You're not in any way too old.

I'd say you are at the perfect age to find the man of your dreams. You've had your fun, you've got your career, you've lived the single life. The best part is, so have all the guys your age. They are going to be a lot more into commitment and family when they get towards the big 30.

Get your friends to introduce you to any nice guys they meet. Have fun and be social. You'll meet a wonderful guy and then wonder what you were so worried about.

So to answer your question... what age to women lose their appeal? When they are dead.

You are gorgeous and in your prime. Get out there!!

Good Luck!! xx
