Aging is harder on men. Proof is relatively simple - go to an "old folks home" and see how many wives have outlived their husbands or another way to look at it 75% of the people over 80 who are still walking are women.
That's because men typically don't run to the doctor every time we get the sniffles, an ache or pain, (or in my case) cut through their finger with a cut off blade on a grinder. It was about 6 yrs ago and someone had done a scientific study of this and they determined this was the cause.
I have found that in their youth, women tend to look better than men. I think this is mother nature's way of insuring the species survives. But I have also found that really attractive younger women, "hit the wall" and their looks fade. Men on the other hand, tend to look better when we age. Now this being said before obesity became a real issue here and the US.
As for older women vs older men: It isn't that difficult for a woman to take care of themselves even during and after child birth. There are thousands of examples of women who did this and a) during their pregnancy you couldn't tell they were pregnant from behind and b) took care of themselves after the baby was born. I have found that (maybe my tastes have matured as well?) there are more women in their late 40's and 50's who look awesome than before. The sun recently had a series of "in praise of older women" photos and they were pretty fricken HOT.
As for older men with young hotties, the thing is: if a guy can produce sperm and an erection, he can make a baby. There is a cut off age where women can't have kids anymore. So yeah, if a young hottie finds a well off, reasonably attractive 60 yr old, they can still have a family. On this same note I was reading something recently how more 20 something hotties are bored with 20 something guys and are looking to older guys because we tend to be more established, mature, level headed and gentlemen. hooray for us! lol
