    they just stop caring about women in that way.

    From conversations with the older men I’ve known throughout life, I don’t think that happens for everyone. Maybe sporadically as life events come and go but even the actual old guys I’ve known (80yr olds) were still interested in romantic (and sexual) relationships; maybe more interested than someone in their 30s is.

      That part came from a psychiatrist. It isn’t every guy for sure. But the % still interested drops a lot somewhere around 60 or something. And the average age expectancy for men in the us is 76.5. So the ones in their 80’s and still alive have a higher chance of still being interested mainly because the others died off. My personal opinion is that longevity and libido are commonly correlated. But I have no real data for that.
