Do Women Care About Age?

Does Age Matter to Women?

Older man, Younger Woman

The theme of the last two answers has been: X only matters as much as you allow X to matter. The answer to the question ‘Does age matter?’ sort of continues this theme, but does still require some extra explanation.  
 
There are some social rules that are extremely difficult to break circumvent. One of them is: a woman becomes less attracted to man, the further away he gets from the woman’s golden age bracket. The bracket changes depending on how old the woman is who’s judging the man on his level of attractiveness. A 50-year-old woman will easily find  a 50-year-old attractive if he demonstrates the right things. An 18-year-old, however, would definitely be a lot harder for a 50-year-old man to win over. That’s easy to understand, everyone knows that. 

 The reasons the age brackets differ can be understood when you think about the issue from a logical point of view. A woman will only find a man attractive if that man can offer her something she wants.  A lot of this stuff relates to genetics and what’s programmed into our brains through evolution. 

Evolution has made women seek men who are young enough, strong enough and healthy enough to live long enough and strong enough to protect them and help them raise kids. Women who are on the older side themselves are more relaxed about this rule, as explained above. They have less to offer in the way of youth, health, etc. so they expect less from men. It sounds really harsh, but it’s not too bad when you think about it. We all want the best we can get. We want to be paired with people who are similar to us or an improvement on us: a similar age, a similar or higher level of physical attractiveness, etc.

So! Yeah, age matters if you fall at either of the extreme ends of the scale. The further away you are from your key demographic (18-24 year olds for example), the harder attracting women in that demographic will probably be. Your persona and ‘game’ will need to especially good for you to achieve success. But you really don’t have anything to worry about. Check out the following table. It roughly sums up what age you need to be for your age NOT to hinder you in attracting women of varying demographics. 

Your age Your easily achievable female demographic

• 18-25 –>18+
• 26-30 –> 18+
• 31-35 –> 24+
• 36-43 –> 26+
• 44-46 –>32+
• 47-55 –> 39+
• 56-50 –> 45+

 
Keep in mind that these guidelines can be broken if you have enough social skill. They’re a rough guide to what age means in the dating game (in the Western world).
