Can middle aged women be attractive, or are they biologically not meant to be?

If women are seen as unattractive when they start to lose fertility (since biologically attractiveness is based on fertility cues) is there any point in trying to look attractive past say 35? Can middle aged women still be attractive and how so if they have lost these fertility cues? Btw im not trying to offend anyone just looking at it from a biological view.

Well I'm 18 and I'm infertile. Does that make me automatically hideous? I hope not.

No it doesnt because think about it you will still have the cues, youthful looks etc :tongue:
Beyonce, J-lo, Shakira, Kylie Minogue, Salma Hayek.... They are hotter than 99% of women aged 18-25 in my opinion. Never give up :h:

Yea but the fact that they are called milfs means they have been put in a different class to young women. Like theres no catagory for older men theres just men lol.

Sure there is. DILFs and silver foxes :tongue:
LOL! I guess when females get old, they're supposed to be ugly when they're no longer capable of popping babies out? You do realize there are multiple factors that influence attractiveness right? Oh yeah, older women take care of themselves.

So I guess the first thing that pops in your mind when you see a hot chick is, can she produce babies or what?
Yeah, older women can be still attractive. They cannot make babies anymore but they still have female assets.

Yes.
You sound like an alien with terms like "biologically attractive" and "fertility cues". No wonder guys on TSR have issues courting girls IRL when they treat women like grocery items with an expiry date.

There's so many women over 35 that are still attractive in the general stereotypical sense. I mean hell, Jessica Alba is 35.

Or it could just be that they're attractive older women? Being put in a different category doesn't necessarily mean they're an after thought. You can look up the data about how 'MILF' is one of the most searched for terms on the internet..

But it's variable innit. To me, "older woman" in this kind of context has always meant women in their 40s and older. And yet I've heard people talking about men my age being "older" - and I'm only twenty-six. That said, I mostly heard that kind of thing at school...

To the original question, I'd say that yes, middle-aged women can be attractive. Some can be incredibly so - it's not just in the physical features, but the confidence and the general bearing.
