The research found that men start becoming 'invisible' sexually to younger women when they approach their 40s.
This was due to a number of factors - not all concerned with ageing, the 'Daily Express' reported.
According to the 1,000 people polled, the first flecks of grey hair and the emergence of a double chin are the biggest turn offs in older men.
The most obvious sign of the change is when a man is no longer eyed up by women when he goes out.
However, it is not just a matter of age. Six out of 10 women assume that most men in their late 30s are attached by that age and are not worth approaching, the report said.
"Turning 40 is key turning point and it is the most popular age for men to seek a hair transplant," surgeon Asim Shahmalak from the Crown Clinic said.
