Current Events > What's the peak age of attractiveness?

(+) Yeah! (+)

All the hot girls back when I was in senior year in high school or early college look a bit ragged now in our early 30s.

26-27

18-26 female
24-34 male
---

64

according to @electricbugs2 its 16. pretty gross
---

24

25-28 but it depends on the person. Some people look way ragged by 25. Others rock amazing bods until late 40s.
---

Depends, but usually 16-26 for women.

Men age very differently and I would say get more attractive as they get older.
---

30-40 year old women are the best. Some can even carry it into their 50's.
---

22 and then peaks again at 30.
---

I don't know, the 30 year old women I meet are already showing signs of aging. Even I already have quite a bit of gray hair already.

Aging doesnt mean ugly. Unless your number one turn on is tight skin there are plenty of super hot "aging" females out there

To me, for women, it's always been like 22 to 33 or so. Even when I was a kid I've always thought women in this range were the best looking.

I didn't say ugly, my premise was "peak attractiveness".

^This. The natural aging process doesnt suddenly render a woman ugly. Many women embrace their aging and still look amazing. Like grey/silver/white hair. My wife dyes her hair no matter how many times I tell her its sexy. *shrugs* What ya gonna do.

Edit: Well sorry, I was rambling about what you aren't asking. But that's my opinion on attractiveness. To add to the edit I think peak attractiveness isn't always just in looks. Instinctively we men may gravitate to women they perceive more fertile regardless of age. Or more mature, or career minded. Either way I'd say you'll get a lot of varied answers.

Early 20s imo
---

Depends on the person. For some, they'll start looking like shit and gaining weight after 21.

For those who dont, I'd say 25-30.

16-26.

Anyone who who think 16 is some kind of sin have been brainwashed by puritanical ideas. It's a social construct if there is ever one. Women at age 16 years old has the same fertility rate as a woman at age 26, meaning that nature intends for them to be attractive to members of the opposite sex and they are ready to reproduce.

I dunno, probably. Most girls I date are 19.

But 16 year olds have the mind of a child. They are easier to manipulate and take part in more risky activities. You're also appealing to the naturalistic fallacy. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's correct or the best

We're talking about physical attractiveness, yes? What's appealing to the eye has nothing to do with the development of her mind. Hell, most people don't reach maturity until age 25 and I know some women over 30 that still act like teenagers.

What does fertility have to do with physical attractive?
---

Some people are hot 50+
Some people are ugly as teens and 20-somethings

it's all relative
---

Everyone's different. Can't put a definite age.

It has a lot to do with it. That's when they've fully developed the physical attributes (required for bearing children and nurturing of children) to attract the opposite sex and reproduce.

Definitely depends on the person in question. I've seen a lot of people go downhill fast and some more slowly. I'm guessing cell division starts a downward cycle as telomeres shorten starting around the age of 32-34. If you're talking about brain function that resembles an adult most are done physically transforming by 24. All that in mind, 24ish-27ish is a good ballpark range for women.
---

Women: 20-35
Men: 25-45

16-26.

I'm gonna say this, more than likely. Although I have never dated someone more than four years younger than me (I just turned 32, current GF has been 28 for a few months already).

Almost all the girls I went to school with or have known for any length of time look extremely rough now or have put on a shit ton of weight. They just do not take care of themselves in a lot of cases, and the typical party girl lifestyle really catches up with you fast. By 30 (and sometimes even younger) a lot of girls look like they're old enough to be my mom, and I don't particularly find that enticing lol.

That being said, I have known a handful of women that have been pretty smoking hot up until their early 50's or so. There's a Vietnamese lady where I work who has obviously looked after herself well. Her face does show some visible signs of aging as you would expect but only up close. Her hair and body are still pretty great. If you saw her from further away you could easily mistake her for late teens/or twenty-something.

Those women are few and far between though. You really cannot count celebrity women because no shit you can maintain youthfulness spending hundreds of thousands on treatments and cosmetics every year and having your own team of personal trainers and chefs, lol.

Edit: For men I would say 30-50. Not necessarily because they age so much better (although a lot do, and science backs it up with men having thicker skin/losing collagen and other stuff slower as they age, etc). Men and women have different priorities. Youth and beauty are what's commonly attractive in a woman, financial stability/resources in a man. A lot of guys after 30 will have their careers on the right path, might have bought a house, own a vehicle or two, etc.
