John, thank you for the compliment. Of course, the difference between people of the same age is given by genetics, life style and life's accidents.
My point was mainly about averages. The average 60 yo man looks more sexually attractive to women than the average 60 yo woman looks to men. And I'm not speaking here about exceptions. D is 60 and looks 45. Basically no grey hair, smooth skin, muscular. He was being asked for an ID in US bars when he was in his 40s and all my girlfriends find him very sexy.
But he (and modestly a bit I) are the exceptions. Take the average 60 yo man (or 40 yo, or 50 yo, or 70 yo...) and compare him to the average 60 yo (or the same age) woman. Objectively, he will not look better. His skin will be as wrinkled as that woman's (maybe more, thanks to all the extra care the woman will have given to her skin all her life), his hair greyer (well , she will likely have no apparent grey hair), he will have grown a beer belly and lost his muscles (more important for men than for women).
Yet, depending on various other factors he can still look sexy to us. The same 60 yo lady will no longer look sexy to the vast majority of men. And this is not because we women are smarter or more moral (although we might very well be) but because evolution has forced us in different reproductive strategies. We are not only interesting in youth and looks (aka displays of fertility) but also the likelihood that the man we mate with will want and be able to help us raise the resulting kid(s). So his brain (potential success factor), his social position (realised success), and very importantly, his manifest love for us are also very important for his sexiness. And no, this does not mean that we are venal (although yes, being rich makes you jump a couple of steps up the sexiness scale), just that we have a more complex palate than you in terms of sexual attractivity. Your most successful reproductive strategy was to impregnate as many of us and as fertile as possible (aka young and sexy) while still helping to raise some kids who are surely yours.
And yes, it works even for me, who have a tendency to over analyse stuff. I have been courted by some rich and famous men (I think I told a story or two about this) and, while I normally don't care about "people", I found them very sexy at that point.
But most gay guys lose interest in older men when they are at about the same age as that when straight guys lose interest in older women. Which proves that it's not about you guys aging more "gracefully" but about us women appreciating men longer in time. A 70 yo gent who is smart and cultivated, elegant and polite and showers me with attention, admiration and compliments will have far more chances to get in my bed than a 25 yo athlete who thinks that parading his muscles and tattoos will make an effect on me.
