Current Events > Has the number of people you find attractive lowered with time?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My taste in women has gotten narrower over the years

Gone up. As a middle aged person that may or may not be 40.

Both yes and no. The different type of guys I find attractive has decreased but there are certain traits I see in more guys.

As an Asian man, I used to only date white women. But now I realize how narrow minded it was and given the opportunity I would no longer judge women by their looks or skin colors.

Kinda. The lower end of the age range I find attractive is rising much quicker than the upper end, so the overall range is shrinking.

Sort of. Ive become more picky as Ive realised that I can afford to be. I didnt have the same amount of confidence on that front as a teenager. Always felt that I was trying my luck.

My basic premise is as a middle age guy, I find a larger age range attractive. I also discovered how many different personalities and talents can be cool in others. As a younger man, I didn't have enough experience to know all the beauty that the world has to offer. I am also more open minded now and not so focused on types.

Plus side is I know better what my red and yellow flags are in others and I also know KY greens way better too.

Not really, I just know better than to aim at too low an age bracket. Or, I would, if that was ever a thing that came up.

I used to get turned on even by average women and chubby women in my teens but not now. Skinny fat has become a turn off.

I've never truly had normal attraction to begin with. I think only once in my life I saw someone and was attracted to them by appearance alone.

I mostly develop attraction over time by getting to know someone and finding their personality charming. But since I'm also a shut in and can't really open up to get close to people... I can't really say if it's changed or not.

yes.

a lot of these females look dirty, unkempt. however i find the tattooed brunette mixologist on bar rescue incredibly beautiful.

Yes and no. My tastes have changed. I still looooove asian women tho >_> I've been like that since high school

Not at all.

Nope

Yeah kinda. I used to fall for anyone that showed interest in me, with a few exceptions

Now I have some concrete preferences and can actually distinguish girl I think is attractive and not

Increased. I still find younger looking women attractive but now I also find women in my age range and older attractive.

Warden of my prison was in her mid 50s and was smoking hot imo.

Even the ones I find attractive, I am more attentive to their flaws.

Some of the women I saw in porn gross me out now.

yea
current fashion and beauty trends do absolutely nothing for me

Fashion is irrelevant when it comes to attraction for me

Some things can just look stupid. I'm highly critical of hair style.

In that sense, unnatural hair colors like orange or pink and piercings are a turn off for me

For me it's just hair style or poorly done hair dye.

A girl can go from a 9 to 4 real quick if she changes her hair and I don't like it

Well, yeah. When I was 12 I was crushing on 12 year olds. Now I don't do that. I'd hope everyone has at least aged out of that.

That's not what we are discussing. As a teen I was attracted to some adult women that do nothing for me now. But at the time they seemed super hot.

It was literally the question in the title.....

But yes, now as an adult college girls look too young for me.

If we're talking physical attraction, then it's unchanged, because I don't experience that and never have.

Otherwise, if anything, it's probably gone up, as I've gotten more free time to communicate with people and potentially form connections.

Not me. When I was 12, I was crushing on 20yos cuz I thought all my peers were ugly >_>

no, the question can include age ranges, those can go up unless you even liked 70 year olds as a kid.

And also any other somewhat generic criteria.

The total opposite. The older I get, the more I appreciate women of all types.

When I was younger I only gave a shit about looks. Now a hot girl with a terrible personality does nothing for me. So in a way yes.
