This is subjective and since it’s subjective, you’re going to get a bunch of different responses, none of which ultimately matter, as your own opinion/thoughts are what actually matter.

41F here and living my best life! I have never felt more confident or more at peace with who I am and what I have to offer. Embrace it, it’s actually quite liberating. And the right man will embrace it too (!).

I second that, 44F here, couldn’t agree more with you PwC2 x

Nope. I prefer older ladies because we can have interesting conversations and not talk about how to make a TikTok

If you are thinking of a role as a Victoria's secret model, maybe.

In all other areas, generally no.

Opinions will vary. My personal experience is that woman become sexier, more attractive, more interesting and exciting, and more mature as they get older. And 100% the best sex of my life with woman over 40 (and me over 40). Wisdom, life experience and EQ make us all more attractive.

Will take interesting 43F every time over dull 25 29 33 37.

Same woman (somehow) 10 years younger maybe not even. Depends on how she evolved.

Age is just a number. Someone who's 40 and takes care of themselves could look better than someone in their 20s with a poor lifestyle and habits

As a 40-ish woman, the answer is definitely yes. It’s simply a matter of evolutionary biology. Doesn’t mean that we can’t be considered attractive but we are on the other side of the evolutionary cliff.

Well. I was a lot more attractive at 40 than I am at 50. :).

Why do you ask Op?

Well, as a recently turned 40-year old woman who, quite frankly, is still adjusting to this reality - I’m curious in folks’ perspectives as I need some perspective of my own.

Nothing to worry about at all!!

No F in way.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
