Context, I'm 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me.

As I've aged younger women are less and less attractive (thankfully)

But when I'm 60 will 60 year old women be attractive to me?

Since turning 30 I've been thinking about the half-your-age-plus-seven rule a lot more. It would feel creepy as fuck to date a 22 year old. Is this all in my head? It feels predatory to swipe right on anyone younger than 25

Iโ€™m about to turn 40, and 27 has proven to be too young for me. The folks Iโ€™ve had the most success with have been 30+.

At 30, Iโ€™d think 25+ is the spot to be in.
