From a woman's point of view.... (MY Own Observation) Gentleman, you are correct. Younger women do care more about the physical aspects than older women do. Physical aspects are defined by actual physical characteristics - face, body, height. Older women also look at the physical, but on a different level - they look at good hygeine (VITAL!), threads, and how a man carries himself over all. Men should be presentable and should appear to take care of himself. If he can't take care of himself, how can he take care of a woman? I think that as a woman matures, she realizes that looks only go so far, and to really sustain something substantial requires more than just a trophy boyfriend. Therefore, they tend to overlook the shallow and focus more on mental, emotional, and one's heart. Looks fade, conversations are what keeps things going. Women define what's handsome differently than men do. Its not universal, its definitely objective. How a man carries himself, with confidence and charisma is what really matters. Take a Brad Pitt, the supposed sexiest man alive, walking into a room with a hunched back, bad posture, darting eyes across the room and hanging out in the corner - I don't know if any woman would want to approach him.... And to all that bag on metrosexuals who actually care about how they present themselves - although they have gay tendencies, they are the ones getting all the girls.
