    What do you all think of age in your personal opinion?~

    Not all old people smell if you take care of your body as you age, are wrinkles unappealing, is perky better, is saggy unappealing, is old not sexy, is wisdom, maturity and expierence sexy?~

    I personally find "wrinkles are beautiful, they are lines of Human wisdom painted by the brush of time." ~ to quote Tom Hiddleson, I personally find saggy just as interesting as perky, I find the way people's bodies change as they age fascinating and everyone to me is different.~ I know some young people who's breath stinks, and I know some old people who don't smell like anything but peppermint, I've seen 'young' people move like a turtle, and I've seen 'old' people who could do vaults in the Olympics!~

    I think everyone is beautiful and unique and interesting in their own ways and age does not cancel that out but in fact increases it as everyone ages different depending on anything from how they take care of their bodies to what they do with their lives.~

    Why is young so desirable and what about old?~ Is '30' "OLD" do people want to be SO young they even want to look like little girls and boys?~ Do you reject the natural adult?~

    Evolution tells us to seek out someone that is young, healthy, and fertile.

    Evolution and reproduction are don't always determine who we're attracted to.~ Homosexuals?~ :D

    My husband is much older than me; I love and appreciate his wisdom, his age-earned calm and sense of serenity. Plus I think his crow's feet and grey hairs are adorable <3

    Yes, individuals can be attracted to whole range of things, but I thought you were talking in generalities. In which case, evolution is what drives the heard to desire a young and fertile mate.

    Not nessacarily, perhaps evolution could drive us to seek 'young' people, but not always FERTILE people.~ Like to seek out young guys if you're a guy and a Homosexual, but still be repulsed by 'old' guys?~

    Obviously we don't go out and test a person's fertility before becoming attracted to them. So if we determine someone looks "young and healthy" that equates to being fertile.
    Luckily humans are more complex and can often look past these primitive needs to procreate and find meaningful relationships with people older than 30.

    You are, of course, correct. This is common sense to most people. Bliss just likes to hear himself yap, and will pick random things out of your response to argue with.

    Thank you for that!~ ^_^

    So many of our species are driven by strong instinctual desires and that affects our cultures as well?~

    GBBlondie, I don't understand why you have to constantly attack me whatever I post.~ I have taken you off my ignore list because I don't believe in ignoring people and in not having enemies.~ I hope we can just not fight anymore and be friends or at least stop fighting.~ And yes you are right, if by 'argue' you mean discuss in detail, that's the whole reason I created this thread and it's counterpart to discuss this, I thought this was one of the functions of this forum to discuss things?~

    Regardless of how you respond to this message GBBlondie, I will continue to love you and not fight with you.~

    Love,

    ~Bliss

    I wasn't "attacking" you. I was making a statement reflecting my assessment of your posting strategy. And "constantly?" Not even close. I couldn't keep up with the number of posts you make. lol

    Who said old wasn't sexy? Maybe just the foolish thought of a child. I'm only 50 so older people call me a kid and young people call me old but at my age I can see sexy in all ages. A young 20s girl can be very sexy and I know women in there 60s and even 1 in her 70s that are very sexy.

    Also, saying that this is common sense does not in itself prove its' validity, but if I were take this approach then my assessment that many people find older people repulsive is also a basis on generalization without evidence.~ But for the sake of this argument or discussion let's assume that both our statements are true for one cannot claim the other's statement or claim to be based on faulty logic without one's own claim while also based on faulty logic is somehow still valid.~

    Let's assume that a majority of young people are repulsed by 'older' people at least physically.~ And let's also assume it is 'common sense' that people find young and healthy looking people equatable with being fertile.~

    What is apparent to a majority is not equatable to being apparent to ALL.~

    Even if it IS 'common' sense, those who fall outside of the 'common' may not be aware of this.~

    And that's only taking your statement literally, but if you were trying to say by 'common sense' that it is intrinsic to our very natural instincts, it is also not readily apparent to everyone their own natural instincts as they may not even be consciously aware of them.~ And before you claim otherwise, lack of awareness is NOT the same as idiocy, but ignorance.~

    I'd glad to see more people with their own thoughts are adding to this conversation.~ Perhaps it is simply a matter of individual preference, perhaps I am ignorant to the ways of the world as most of my knowledge of societal norms come from the media.~ If that is the case, then I withdraw my statement about 'a lot of people' and will rephrase it to just "people".~

    I like old. They're super sexy, and horny too. Plus, I have more to talk with them about.

    I really like a lot of the old people I meet.I think a lot of them deserve respect and feel bad for them living in such a youth obsessed society,But I admit I don't really find Grannies attractive.Maybe when |I get to that age myself I will be looking more for companionship than a wild sex life.I think getting old has a lot of benefits too.Like you can let go of a lot of the stresses of being young,like having to compete for everything like getting a beautiful partner,at work and all that kind of stuff.Maybe I'm already there to some extent,as I have pretty much dropped out of society.I still do stuff though and have plans,but yes I'm probably looking just for a companion at this stage in my life.That's not to say I still won't want sex when I'm older.I think i will still want it for the physical intimacy.I'll have to see when I get there.

    When I say "Grannies" I mean more like women in their 70's and 80's.

    Bliss, I am glad that you see that you realize your original statement was a bit broad and not based on how real people view there relationships with others.
