To the older gentlemen: What age do you feel you were at your prime?

[HeadLightsOn]

My late 30's were good, but my forties to date have been excellent.

It is true that maturity brings wisdom (well it has to a certain extent with me), and having some better finances and prospects hasn't hurt either.

I too have noticed younger woman actively pursuing me compared to my late 30's even.

A while ago I dated a woman who was 25 years younger than me. And yes, I loved every minute of it Well, most minutes (not the princess hissy fit bull**** tho).

I have been told I am above average looks (not model stuff), I really look after my physique, and am quite outgoing. I have thinning hair and a more rugged type look.

So far, I am enjoying having the years on rather than off...

OP : what do exactly mean by prime , are you talking on most successful stage in life financially or sexually or both ?

I was talking on the context of attracting women

From everything I've seen, most guys are most successful between mid 20's and early 30's. You have some guys that do best early and lose their edge and looks by 30. Then you have others that look 10 years younger and seem to do good past their 40's.

For young 20s chicks, being like 29 to 31 rocks!

I'm still keeping it together at 36, although the broads are a bit older than before.

Being older is great. I'm just getting better at this year after year.

You have to play the game differently now than you did when you were 26. But it's okay. I'd look out of place hanging out at a dance club. I met my current FB / FWB at my yacht club.

The only thing about being in your 40's and beyond is that if you don't have your life together, you're not going to be competitive.

You need to have the job, the car, the bachelor pad, the discretionary income, the clothes (custom shirts FTW), and the physique. Women have more expectations of you, but if you can meet those expectations, you will be miles ahead of the 20-nothings.

Start NOW and get it together by the time you're my age. It's soooooo worth it.

My prime regarding women was probably when i was 25-26. That was the first time i was able to get a high quality woman and make her my gf. Probably atleast 2 points above me in terms of attractiveness, a solid 9. At that age i was happy, funny and ambitious. I had a lot of confidence and self esteem. I would pull plenty of chicks before that, but never the ones i really wanted.

After turning 30 my life is better in all other aspects, minus the women part. I have my own bachelor pad, a decent job that pays about 90k a year, great social circle and i've been hitting the gym for almost a year and i am probably in my best physical shape to date. I also dress better. Bad stuff is that i'm short (5,7-5,8), hairline is receeding and my game is rusty. I'm currently taking a break from women and focusing on other issues. I'm trying to quit relying on alcohol and quitting my binge drinking. This has the highest priority in my life now. So far so good.

I hope the 30's are as good as they say.

40 now - never better, no end in sight

 

[BobMo']

Physically at 50. My appeal to women over 25 (and some under) is still going up because I'm in shape, play music better than ever, and don't care about the outcome.
