I noticed as I grew older people who had previously seemed attractive to me now look really young and now I notice attractiveness in people in the age group that would have prevously percieved as old. How does my brain make this shift?

There are tons of factors involved in sexual attraction, but on big factor is how you percieve yourself; your mind likes people it judges as being similar to yourself and in most people it recognizes your shift in age and adapts acordingly.
This can obviously end up being very different to how people percieve you. Although people tend to be more successful in finding a long-term partner the better they are at judging themselves.
Another big factor are your expierences so far, which can make certain habits and expressed attitudes be associated with undesirable expectations; i.e. a Person seems childish.
You might still find someone very attractive, but unsuitable as a sexual interest, especially as you gain experience in choosing a partner.
