Age is Just a Number

Lesley Maxwell, a 65-year-old fitness fanatic and personal trainer, is proof that age is just a number. She looks incredible for her age, with strangers often mistaking her and her 21-year-old granddaughter as sisters.

Attraction to Younger Men

Maxwell has a certain type of man she’s attracted to – young, fit, and between 20 and 40 years old. She’s aware of her age but feels that men in her age group are "lazy and predictable." Instead, she’s drawn to younger men who have energy, spontaneity, and love a woman who knows what she wants.

The Appeal of Younger Men

According to Maxwell, younger men in their twenties have a certain appeal. They have energy, spontaneity, and can keep up with her pace both in and out of the gym. She also appreciates their positivity and enthusiasm, which she finds lacking in older men. Maxwell estimates that younger men are more energetic and normally more positive than men over 40.

What Maxwell Looks for in a Man

If you’re a legitimate bachelor looking to attract Maxwell’s attention, there are a few key qualities you should possess. Trust and an interest in fitness are at the top of her list. A man who is confident enough to approach her is a good start, and a healthy body is also essential. Of course, a sense of humor is also important.

Chemistry is Key

However, even if you possess all these qualities, chemistry is still essential. If Maxwell doesn’t feel a spark with someone, it’s a deal-breaker. She recalls a date with a successful real estate agent who was a gentleman but lacked chemistry. She ended things with him after just three days, citing a lack of connection.

Not Alone in Her Preferences

Maxwell is not the only woman of her age who prefers younger men. Another woman, who wished to remain anonymous, shared a similar experience. After a divorce, she met a younger man while traveling with a friend and found herself drawn to his energy and enthusiasm. Despite the initial hesitation from her friends, she found that the age gap wasn’t an issue, and the two hit it off. However, she did notice that people would often stare or make comments when they saw her with a younger man, which she found surprising and somewhat disturbing.
