Because they deep down inside they still believe that once they hit the age where they can no longer bare children they are worthless, unattractive and unneeded.  Also, it's a basic female belief that old = ugly.  Unfortunately, this is something that they've done to themselves.  Just pick up any Cosmo or Glamor and flip to any page.  That is what they believe that they have to live up to until the day that they die.

Women look for protection and maturity from men . They find these 2 qualities in older men .

Men's minds are a whole world that is probably very dangerous to go any further into. But they do tend to mentally mature at a slower rate than women do. It's all that testosterone, I bet.

Apparently, according to a sex documentary on a month back, men just happen to have alot of sex when they are young, unattached, without girlfriend and unmarried.   Women, we become more comfortable and familiar with our bodies as we grow older.  The older we get, the more exploration and grounds we discover.  That is when we feel more sexy and are able to relax more.  For the guys its when they are younger.

He's probably in his prime where all he wants is sex. Men tend to want sex, but later on, You probably will be the one wanting sex and he'll be thinking what you're thinking now. (Men's sex drive kicks in before the women.)

Nothing wrong with being 40, a lot of guys usually reach their attractive peak at that age. Don't worry about it. They get better looking when they are older and mature.

Older guys have mid-life crisis and want to feel young again.  They remember how it felt when they were first dating and with young women.  So they think that if they have a young woman again, they will be young again.  \n\nYoung women like older men because they like that the guy is established, usually has money, is more mature, doesn't just rush things usually.

Trust me it happens with older women as well, and not surprisingly there are some men who experience settling for second best instead of being patient. The root of the problem is while we want to have a successful career, money in the bank, a big fine house, and the 2.0 children, we don't want to wait until the right person comes along who feels the same way about certain things in life as we do. Therefore, we settle for someone far less mature and serious about life than what we had intended because we don't want to be alone. We hate being alone, we hate spending time with ourselves, we can't stand the quiet. For some reason we believe that it is easier to be with anybody than with nobody.

I don't think married men are the only ones who have problems in this area. I think men AND women feel loss as they age.\n\nYoung people have a combination of hormones, urgency, risk-taking, idealism and the feeling of immortality as major drives in their personalities and relationships. After 50 years people of both sexes get more contemplative, desperate, depressed, settled, bored, lazy and their hormone levels don't really help them "push forward" into life from the INSIDE of their bodies. \n\nIf a person has made enough poor decisions before 45-50 years old they, many times, just give up on trying to re-invent their life and they begin to "settle". They become less "giving" and less spontaneous. They feel more emotionally fragile.....and sometimes "needy" at the same time.\n\nIf your wife was ever your best friend she should remain that way into old-age. Many couples were never REAL  friends to begin with....they just got a certificate declaring that they are married. Friendship lasts longer than certificates.\n\nYou cannot expect a woman who was having sex out of "obligation" to wedding vows to ever be a lover for life. The emotional/spiritual longings that you are writing about SHOULD still be there at any age, between friends. If you simply want a woman to stay as young and eager as a 30 year old, forever,  then you are going to be sadly disappointed.\n\nThe friendship aspect of a loving/married relationship is the most important building material in the foundation of a long-time relationship. Age will take away many things. Cross words and misunderstandings can hurt couples for many years. In the end, it is the friendship that will last.\n\nAnd a good friend will always be there for you to talk, touch and share intimacy.................on some level.\n\nJust don't expect things NEVER to change...........all things change.\n\n\nIt's how we respond to change that makes us available to/for the people we love and who love us.

because men mature slower then woman and woman just tend to figure it out.  Sex isn't everything, they want to settle down.  Men have to sow their wild oats before it dawns on them.  Why do you think woman usually go for older men?  Old men usually have been around the block but finally figure it out.  (of course even some older men haven't figure it out) You can usally tell by how they treat a woman. They are patient and not pushy.

Men like this are immature, some men never grow up, because they were either over-protected by their mothers, or had older sisters that protected them.  Usually men that have been cuddled too much by women in their young life, tend to have the most problem with relationships.

Women are only as old as they look! and men are not old till they quit looking!
