I feel like there are two kinds of older guys.
1. Older guys that naturally attract younger women because they are attractive to these women.
2. Older guys that thirst for younger women and creep on them.
The former are your naturally cool guys who are fun to be around and live in their own older world. Younger women flood towards them and you will not find these guys in a younger crowd. You typically see them in big cities living their lives and younger women are always chasing hard after them. However, even if she gave him a VIP invitation to her party, he would not come. I know a couple of guys like this, one had a college sorority girl persisting that he go to formal with her. Dude was 35 and would not do it, as much as she persisted and even resorted to "I will take these shots and you will have to come to my formal".
Then you have the latter which are all too common in the Manosphere. These are the weirdos that spam "muh muh fertile wifey" crap all over the web. They are the morons who try to justify their desire for younger women when in reality, they are unattractive to women of all age groups. I knew a guy like this that went to a college town and tried to get into the various parties there, despite being in his late 30s. The fraternity guys shooed him away. Even at my uni, we had an old guy that would sit down at the dining halls to creep on women and he got a name.
Older women can prevent this but they do not.
Older women run through their party days but come their 30s, they want dudes buying them expensive dinners for a kiss. Yeah of course that guy is going to prefer younger women that just put out faster. If anything, older women should be having the ease of sex as their competitive advantage but they play those stupid games. Then you have the weird "cougars" who get hyped up by society because it is some burned out trash going for a young loser.
Older women have no right to whine about what older men go for when they themselves are being prudes. If she isn't putting out, she can STFU.
It is a winner's market, the younger woman who not only looks better and acts more feminine but puts out easier will win out and always beat the old hag who thinks her beat up walls are made of gold.
I would say have fun with your cats you old hag but unfortunately, way too much male thirst these days to where even a 55 year old who looks decent for her age will get attention. Blame "cougar" and "MILF" porn for that nonsense.
