Re-wiring attraction

Day 7

I’m really realizing now how much damage porn has done to my sense of attraction. I am nearing 40 years old. I should be looking for a partner at least reasonably close to my age. I should be drawn to them. But I go to public places and I am consistently drawn to much younger women. Adults, but more in that 20-24 range and I rarely look at women closer to my age. While I think some of this is due to a belief that younger women are more commonly available than a lot of 30-40 year old women I see often with their husbands or children but I think maybe the even bigger factor is that I’ve conditioned my brain to desire youth from watching content that more often than not was in this age bracket. I feel like that pervy older guy that cannot stop himself from checking out all the pretty young women everywhere he goes despite the fact it’s highly improbable they’d want more of that we’d actually be compatible. I wonder how long it will take to rewire my brain to appreciate and gravitate towards a more mature woman. Anyway, thanks for listening. Just something that was bothering me a bit this evening.

That is great. I also have a very similar feeling. I look at the very young women in their 20’s. I am in my mid 30’s and want to look for a partner. I feel you. Re-conditioning the brain is a process, but you got this!
