Confidence and class. a woman who feels good about herself and is comfortable with her age is just plain beautiful, no matter what age she is. Maybe I'm just strange, but I think most women are beautiful in one way or another. I don't flirt with them and I don't hit on them cause I'm married, but I do admire and respect them. I think God's finest work was the female human. There's nothing better looking, better smelling, or more interesting on earth.

I do love how confidence and class is what is being trotted out for us "older" women. The younger ones just have to flash their t!ts to get noticed by old men but we have to be confident and classy. Comfortable with her age? Yeah, we aren't 100. Come on.

Oh this just made me swoon...finally someone who gets that a woman cannot be contained by something as simple as a number for her age. Posted via Mobile Device
But then he added: A woman who has an organized life is very attractive. Her body is not quite like a 25 year-old, but still in a good shape, don't think like a 25 year-old and live like a 25 year-old!
This is somewhat of a stolen thread topic concept from southbound. What makes a 35+ woman attractive to you guys? Also, what would make you have the courage to approach that woman and strike up a conversation if you noticed there was no wedding ring? Physical and personality traits are acceptable answers on this one. There truly are no wrong answers.
However, try to refrain from the whole “She needs to look like Carrie Underwood, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel or Megan Fox,” because they are SOOOO not even close to 35 years old. I’m certain you guys would hate to have the ladies play the whole “He needs to look like Matthew McConaughey,” comparison card.
Have at it guys!
I dated women 30+ since I left home at 18. My greatest seperation was a 47 year old at 19. What distinguished older women from younger ones was that older women played a lot less games and had more of an idea of what they wanted. You can really tell when you date both at the same time period. Physically, the same things that attract me to a young woman would attract me to a older woman. Posted via Mobile Device
If a young thing want's to show lots of skin, guys are going to look but very few of us would want a wife or daughter looking like that. It's like guys seeing the Batmobile...yeah, I'll look at it, but I aint buying one, doesn't suit my purposes, and I'd feel stupid with one.
Friendly. Somewhat reserved. Flirty (in a classy way). I adore making eye contact with a woman 35+ in the grocery store or somewhere and we both smile and say hi as we pass. More than that, if I get a whiff of her perfume it just melts me. I really don't care if she's "good looking" or whatever. In fact, I tend to be drawn towards the underdog so to speak. The one who doesn't know how cute she is and therefore, doesn't have an attitude. Oh, and touch. Lightly puts her hand on my shoulder while we share a laugh about something. Love that. I feel like Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. I just love, love, love women.
This is all first impression of course. Which I think was the op's question. All the other traits everyone listed will be discovered later.

Now, if I had the matching outfit, I wouldn't feel stupid.
Through a fluke, I once found myself as the single holdout on a list of designated approvers to pay a two million dollar payment to a supplier. I'll admit, I was the low man on the list. Awkward. The supplier wasn't getting the quality part right, and new federal engine emissions were just around the corner. It was make or break time. The supplier's parent company sent four VPs in their private jet to take me to the site installation to prove that they could meet the final date for the last payment. I only mention this because it became very obvious that they did their homework on me. It was really creepy. They only talked about their kids and how important their families were, but it was pretty obvious that they didn't have a clue. The one sitting closest to me offered to show his family pictures in his wallet. He was about 48, but the trophy wife was 25. When he showed his kids, they were with his first wife. Simply put, her real beauty was stunning. Every picture showed a beaming smile, and poise, even though she was wearing a baloon hat in one. The guy was an idiot. Got the impression that the current wife was happy as long as the checkbook stayed open.
I'll admit I'm like most other guys. When an attractive woman passes by, if the high heels make the rear end take a life of its own, its hard not to notice. But that symmetry of motion doesn't have an end date for a number of years. Then again, I'm married, so its not like I ever notice. Just thinking conceptually.
The key to success for a woman 35+ is to keep a young mind. No one can stop the effects of looking older, but it's that inner glow of youthfulness that's important. That's what will shine through.
Continue doing all the things that drew men to you in your early twenties. Stay in shape, dress sexy, be cute, outgoing, fun, adventurous and spontaneous. This is especially important if you're bringing kids into the picture.
I haven't read any of the other responses yet. I am interested to see how similar they are.
A lot of people believe that women can no longer be physically attractive once they past a certain age - 30, 35, 40, whatever. The belief seems to be that the only way she can remain physically attractive is by having excessive plastic surgery, and even then, she will never look as nice as a woman in her 20s.
Actually, this isn't true at all. I have seen women in their 50s who I considered to be hot. The oldest one (that I knew the age of) was 53, and she was quite a babe. It's true, her face was not as smooth and youthful as it might have once been, but besides all of that, she had it all going on.
The basic things which are physically attractuve are not much different than for younger women:
- Don't cut your hair like a man
- Have big boobs and a nice butt
- Have a flat stomach
- Nice, toned legs are good too
There are also a few things which a lot of women do which I feel are unnecessary:
- Tanning
- Dying hair blonde - Dark hair is a lot more attractive!
As as the non physical traits...Well, those are the same as for younger women, too.
- A kind spirited and graceful personality. By kind spirited, I mean she can challenge you or disagree with you without being insulting or sarcastic. She makes you feel respected and wanted throughout daily life. By graceful, I mean that she isn't a wild party girl who gets drunk a lot and dances on the bar, doesn't throw things, yell or scream, etc.
- Sex! It is a wierd thing with men, but it's true. Having sex with a woman makes me feel attracted to her. I feel strongly in love with her during and after sex, and this feeling resonates through the next day, week, whatever. Yes, people have sex because they are attracted to eachother, but it also creates attraction.
