Are women over 50 invisible?

I don't see age. I've seen attractive women from all ages.

What I don't find attractive are fat / obese people. - My preference - don't flame me. I don't knock your preferences, whatever they might be.
 
I'm glad he feels that way because it leaves more mature ladies for the rest of us.

Only if those women have blown up their faces with botox. Or if they look as though they are in a perpetual wind tunnel. Or if their lips look like they've been punched in the face multiple times. An all natural woman of 50 is a rare and beautiful thing where I'm from. If there is one near me - I see her.....mostly because I'm staring.

Agree with you there. I dislike plastic surgery for the most part. I know I am aging but I'm still young at heart.
 
Poppycock!

As I get older I crave wit and wisdom and a healthy dose of cynicism. I'm not saying no younger women have those qualities, but they're qualities which seem more common among older women.

Stuffing body parts together is all well and good, and if one doesn't like the company of women other than for sex I suggest he look at the company he keeps. I prefer to spend the time between sex in conversation, fondling moonbeams and ideas as much as her.
 
As a woman slightly over 50, I'm glad to hear that some men profess to finding our demographic of interest. Still, when I saw the article, it left me a bit sad. Perhaps he's being brutally honest.

Just because he writes articles doesn't make him an expert. There are a lot of people who won't see past what we look like. There's a lot of posts from people on these boards who see nothing but sexual attraction. There are people over 50 who only see younger people as sexually attractive. In the real world things are much more complicated. There are lots of people "our age" who are looking for companionship, affection, love, and yes even sexual connection with someone who is at the same place in their lives as we are.

Unfortunately, that sometimes comes with a lot of baggage. Some people aren't willing to change to meet a new partner half way. They're either stuck in their ways or unable to change their circumstances. To someone like that everyone's "unlovable", not because potential lovers are unlovable but because the individual isn't capable of doing what's necessary to love them.

It may take time to find someone who's available to be loved and to return love, beyond the "older women are hot" kind of sexual attraction. As a married man in my 50s, yes older women are sexy and hot, and that attraction goes much further and deeper than looks. Aging gracefully isn't easy, but when we see past looks we can still discover that the person underneath it all is still a gem.
 
It’s a cliche but age really is just a number, beauty, personality are what counts and I’ve met many women who are more beautiful as they get older, certainly more sexual and adventurous and in my opinion more likely to know what they want.

Those are just the egomaniacal musings of a narcissist who believes himself deserving of someone his daughter's age. Fuck him. Older women are beautiful women.
 
Maybe when I was 20 I wouldn't have given any woman over 50 a second glance, but now that I'm 60, I'd take an over 50 in preference to a 30 year old any day of the week.
 
I notice women who are 50 all of the time. I certainly am not looking to see the younger model. Sexy is completely an attitude and not an age or body shape.

Thanks for all who have replied here. It seems that we're not invisible at all to many men, which is encouraging to hear.

And Runsilent, men over 50 are not invisible either.
 
As someone that tried dating a woman that was 22 years my Jr. I can say from experience that women over 50 are a treasure. I would never again date a younger woman. When I look back I think " God what was I thinking".It then occurred to me like many men I was thinking with the wrong head. The sex was ok at best.
Give me a mature woman over 50. I like having someone that knows what their doing.
 
As a guy in his early thirties, I can honestly say older women have always been attractive to me for as long as I can remember.

When I in my teens i listed after the 25-40 age group.

Now it's the 30-55 agreed group.

My boss is 53, and cute/sexy as hell.

I see plenty of women aged 45-60 that I'd take to bed, even more who are beautiful if not sexually appealing to me for various reasons
.
 
Can't agree with this. My wife is 57 and a few weeks ago she stopped to put air in a tire. A twenty something came over to give her a hand and according to her, with large puppy dog eyes. I suggested to her that it was more likely lust.
 
The guy is an idiot. Women over 50 are fantastic!

^^^^

I’m gonna say it again...the guy’s an idiot. His view of older women is a variation of the never-trust-anyone-over-30 theme. You’d think that at 50, he might have learned a thing or two about aging, (I certainly had, and that was sometime ago) but apparently it happens to award winning authors as well. Go figure.

I must say it doesn't make me want to go out and find an English translation of any of his books.
