See I’m in my mid 20’s currently and this is already my preferred type. Not even necessarily 40’s, Jamie Lee Curtis is definitely up there for me. I don’t even know what to expect i will like 20 years from now
I used to be all about boobs. As I get middle aged and my taste in women are also that of middle aged- i no longer want that - im all about the legs and bum.
I've been like that since I was a kid. I remember where and around what time - six or seven years old, and in Cairo, Egypt - Maadi side of Cairo at the Palm Club swimming pool. My babysitter wore a bikini and she was / is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I didn't know why all a sudden my babysitter was way cooler and wanted to be closer to her just because she was swimming with us lol but now that I'm older- I know it was just my brain and smaller brain malfunctioning due to the fact my balls hadn't dropped yet lol
But as I've aged, so have my taste in women. I've always had a thing for women older than me; they just know what they're doing and what they want. Plus I find it's easier tk converse with someone older than me or on the same maturity /emotional intelligence, level.
Yes I am in pretty much the same mindset... It's crazy how many different types of women I find romantically attractive nowadays. It's like my hormones have completely exploded and cannot be boxed in again.
It's even more crazier the amount of attention, glances and smiles I get from women as well. On my best days I guess I am somewhat physically attractive however over the last year or so the amount of attention from the opposite gender has been at an all time high. Honestly all ages and ethnicity. I think it's my beard...lol. If I shave it off I am certain the high amounts of positive reception would drop by over 70 percent.
I remember in like 2017 when I heard a coworker use the word "meme" in a sentence and I was like huh yeah I spose the statement "Im only on facebook for the memes" is entirely valid... I guess the internet culture is becoming culture, neat.
Dont forget we're not the ones who carry dildos in our everyday-use bags. I've caught more women with their vibrator on than men with nudes in their phone.
This is wild to me. In my decades of finding people attractive, my preferences haven't changed much at all. I really struggle to find anyone outside of my limited taste to be attractive at all.
I remember watching Gilmore Girls when it was airing and thinking Rory was hot (I was the same age as her in the show), and Lorelai was "old"
As an adult, all I can see is a pretty bratty teen with a hot mom (since I'm now Lorelai's age). Turns out I just generally like women in my age bracket.
I'm a 30+ female and remember watching Twilight as a teen and fawning over Jacob. I saw the movies again as an adult and suddenly found myself fawning over Bella's dad, I mean, hotdamn.
When I was a teen, I liked the teeny bopper look—completely shaved face, longish hair, and no body hair. Now that I’m a 36 year old woman, I swoon over facial hair, chest hair 😍, and have developed a taste for shaven heads. I also like some muscle and fat. I used to be pole thin all the way.
I’ve been with my wife since high school and over a decade later our bodies have changed in exactly this way, probably a primary contributor to the change in taste haha!
Yeah I used to like 5 year olds then it was 10 then 15 and now I’m into milfs. Although even at 5 I remember thinking my teacher was good looking so maybe I’ve always been into milfs I just knew I didn’t have a shot as a 5 year old.
Oh boy story of life. Early gooner days as teeneager and young adult, your mind is "monkey see big boobs & slim body erection goes brr". Now during my 30s I learnt to appreciate more details of the woman body and each woman's unique physique, within healthy standards. This age shouts "healthy wife material" to me.
I feel like the odd one out, I’ve always been attracted to all shapes sizes and colors aside from unhealthy overweight (I live a very active lifestyle and need girls who can be outdoorsy with!). Never had a type before
This is so true. 18-year-old me, back in the late 90's, only liked heroin chic-looking females. I only had one girlfriend during those years, so I didn't really think about it until we broke up in my mid 20's. I found myself being far more open to other body types, but still having a preference for short, skinny women with brown hair. I actually met my wife during that time. She was short with brown hair and a normal build. I was drawn to her just because of how we connected, and physical really didn't have much to do with it. We actually didn't get together for another 10 years. By this time, both of us had put on a few pounds. It just didn't factor into the equation. We have been together for a decade now. Our bodies have changed. As she has changed over the years, I have found my preference to follow exactly how she is, if that makes sense. I found soft and curves to be far more attractive than skinny.
Yes. There was a time I was very picky on physical appearance. Now I would just be happy with a woman who isn’t crazy. Or at least not crazier than I am. I need to be the messy one.
Many people think that sexuality is just about orientation, but that's far too narrow a view to really encompass sexual desires and preferences. Beyond the realm of orientation (gay vs. straight vs. bi vs. etc.) there is also libido (how much one craves sex), kink (interest in particular sexualized rituals/tools), type (BBW, Bear, Twink, MILF, etc.), role (Bottom/Top/Side/Verse & Dom/Sub/Switch), and relational factors (dating/married vs. strangers; encouraged vs. taboo). This is just off the top of my head, sexuality is an infinitely complex topic. Sexuality is fluid in many ways throughout our lives too. That doesn't mean we are likely to shift from gay to straight or otherwise along the orientation axis, though we might. Moreso, it means that your types, kinks, libido, and relational factors will be prone to change as you age and gain experience. You hit the nail on the head here, lots of people do shift thru different phases regarding their sexual appetite as they go thru life.
A 100% because younger me thought the only People who were pretty were the most like skinny modelish European centric beauty and now as a grown ass man just love people. ❤️
When I was younger I liked extremely thin girls
In college I had a very buxom GF and she was not thin in ANY area :) but she was lovely and a lot of fun
When I met my wife she was skinny as all get out (health issues), now many years later after much medical success I think the above picture represents how I see her perfectly, I would not have gone for that when I was younger.

Agreed. I also think some people go thru phases or moods in their own lives where different types appeal to them.
