Male desirability to women peaks in the late 20s and does not fall below the average for all men until 36. Other research indicates that women, irrespective of their own age, are attracted to men who are the same age or older.

After surveying over 16,000 individuals across eight different countries who were all asked at what ages they think men and women are most beautiful, the data found that the overall average age where women are found to be most attractive is 28.
Power, money, and biology may play a role in initial attraction to older men, but that illusion doesn't last. The notion that men get more attractive with age is not exactly true, according to developmental psychologist Michelle Drouin says.

Older men also display an interest in women of their own age. However, research suggests that relationship patterns are more influenced by women's preferences than men's.
A new study found that many women enjoy dating younger men because it breaks down social barriers they traditionally face in relationships. Women in the study tended to assert their sexual needs and often experienced heightened levels of sexual pleasure with younger male partners.
The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking 'sexy' at 53 and are thought of as 'old' at 55. Same for men, they look best in 30s, start showing age at 41. However they can still look 'sexy' till 58 and are considered old by 59-60.

Between the ages of 30 and 40 a man's testosterone levels fall by about 1% every year; whilst high enough to be measured, the effects are rarely a concern. After the age of 40, however, a low libido in men can be noticeable as testosterone levels decrease even further.

Called the “rubber band” or the male intimacy cycle, it's when a man vacillates between being close to his partner and pulling away. Men do this for many reasons. The most important reason is to connect with their more masculine side and to focus on the activities that make them a good provider and partner.
Though generally, women are sexually active during adolescence, they reach their peak orgasmic frequency in their 30 s, and have a constant level of sexual capacity up to the age of 55 with little evidence that aging affects it in later life.
Men lose interest in fashion trends and being 'cool' at the age of 46, a new survey has revealed. But women put the effort in for a full 13 years longer - focusing on their appearance and general fitness until at least age 59.

In short, research seems to indicate that in many cultures, an age gap of 1 to 3 years is considered ideal — but some researchers suggest even a relationship with an age gap of less than 10 years will bring more satisfaction. Still, numbers rarely tell the full story when it comes to love.
Older men prefer to be with younger women because the latter has a fresh, unique and more carefree attitude towards life that can make men feel less stressful or anxious.

Men often gain weight steadily starting at around age 30 and continuing until roughly age 55. Throughout life, a man's excess weight tends to be carried as belly fat, which increases his risk of heart disease and other conditions.
Apparently, men do not get meaner, irritable and more sarcastic as they get older. In fact, among the men participating in The Study of Adult Development - the longest longitudinal study of adult life ever conducted - men seem to get happier as they get older.
