If primarily trying to attract women, I would guess that the best bet is to be relatively wealthy and successful...and be fit and healthy (or a rock star). A good education (well read/ability to speak well) and good grooming would likely not hurt either. None are very difficult to achieve...but few do. As one ages, failure to achieve these things become more and more obvious and the ability to change direction does as well. Youthful good looks only last so long.

Lots of guys (and women) let themselves go because they are married. That seems counterintuitive to me as it seems one would want to remain attractive to their spouse...and if the marriage fails to last, have some ability to market themselves again.

Obviously, when you are a senior, hair, teeth, mobility and finances seem to go a long way if interested in women your own age. Best advice to youngsters seem to be...don't become obese...and floss.
