Tats and body piercings don't turn me off but they are not an attractant since they say a lot about the person. Strong-willed, intelligent women was always an attractant but most were married.
I always liked women who were independent , I preferred the type who had a good job or their own business as mine has.
Fit and outgoing , earthy type .
We all have a preference to some degree.
Like you who preferred older women , the women I choose prefer older men for various reasons
