anne1707 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Personally, I think people fixate too much on the formula: Youth = Attractiveness It appears to me that people who do, tend to be highly superficial individuals who are afraid of aging and death within themselves, so they're looking for youth, in someone else. A form of compensating. Got to agree with this. When you see somebody who is only interested in dating somebody much younger, it just makes you think they are desperately trying to prove their own attractiveness, that they have still got what it takes. So sad. Link to post Share on other sites

When you see somebody who is only interested in dating somebody much younger, it just makes you think they are desperately trying to prove their own attractiveness, that they have still got what it takes. So sad. I look around at men and women and find attractive people of all ages. I don't expect a 40 year old man or woman to look like an 18 year old. This societal expectation of gravitational pull defiance, isn't realistic. It's one thing to upkeep your body for the purposes of a healthy lifestyle, which will reflect on you superficially and a whole 'nother thing to be obsessed by the superficial desire to get cosmetic surgery for every little wrinkle. Laugh lines are incredibly attractive on both men and women. So laugh a little more. Link to post Share on other sites
Habibti Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Men remain sexualy attractive for a longer time span then women, Men also peak in attractiveness later in life then women. Maybe its an evelutionary advantage since womens best reproductive years are when they are young and men can reproduce throughout their life if fertile and given the oportunity. Agreed, but this is only relevant if you're dating. When you marry they could be the most beautiful or not all that great, and chances are they will still "look" about the same simply because looks fade in order of priority after so many years together. Then again, that is based on wether or not you actually love your partner, and there are plenty who don't after several years together so maybe it's relevant to those people too I guess.

monkey00 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think lots of women could age equally as well as men, I see a lot of great looking women in their late 20's and 30's - 40's. The ones that do look great know how to take good care of themselves, and on top of that..the ones that know how to dress well look even better. Some of it has to do with genetics, and some of it just has to do with eating right and going to the gym. But can't argue with that, us men age like fine wine. Link to post Share on other sites

MN randomguy Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think the answer is for guys in their 30s or close to it, to date younger women. YES! amen to that 35 dating 25 is ideal, but I'm not hung up on it. Sweet!!! I'm 29. Would it be creepy for me to chase 19 year olds? Link to post Share on other sites
shadowplay Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Come to papi. Papi won't hurt'ya. Men's bodies are more utilitarian, so fine details like a wrinkle here and there don't matter, just add character. Men age like leather jackets, women - like wool jackets. Getting worn out benefits the looks of the former more than the latter. (with the exception of asian chicks, who age like silk shirt, i.e. barely at all) It's not fair, but it's true. It's not that women instantly become unattractive in their late 30's and thereafter. On the contrary, I think that most are quite hot these days, but it's just completely different type of attractiveness. When I see good looking 40 year old woman all i think "fun playmate", not "sweet wife/mother", which is one of the things I see in younger women. Wuh...have you never seen the tiny wrinkled old Asian ladies in flip flops? Asian women may age better for awhile, but then they seem to hit a wall of age at a certain point. Everyone ages eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Spade Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sweet!!! I'm 29. Would it be creepy for me to chase 19 year olds? Yep, 25 is the cutoff age. Anybody lower than that is more trouble than it's worth it. Just get a new 25 year old every year until the age of 45. 25 y/old girls dating older guys are smart. 19 year olds dating older guys are dumb hos. If I was a 25 y/o girl, I'd totally get it on with the late Charles Bronson. Link to post Share on other sites

shadowplay Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 This may be true on average, but certainly not in a lot of cases. I can think of many examples of men who peaked really, really young and looked progressively worse with age, especially when you factor in baldness. Christian Slater, Marlon Brando, James Spader, etc. There are plenty of examples of women who aged remarkably well, better than the men around them. It depends from person to person. Also each individual finds a different age ideal in the opposite sex. I'm 25 and I think men look best in their twenties, and less often find myself attracted to a guy who is over 35. Other women may prefer guys who are much older than that. Link to post Share on other sites

Christian Slater, Marlon Brando, James Spader, etc. Anyone remember 9 1/2 weeks? Last year: Kim_Basinger Mickey Rourke I'm not wild about KB's lipstick, but I defy anyone to say Mickey Rourke has aged more appealingly. Male or female, the sight of once beautiful people ageing badly is heart-breaking. Time is possibly kindest to those who have little to lose (aesthetically) in the first place, or pick their cosmetic surgeon and procedures wisely... or whose beauty is classical rather than impish.

Balthazar Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I am not sure if talking about averages is very useful. After all, I really don't care if the average 38-year old man looks better than the average 38-year old woman. What is important is how well I look, and that depends entirely on my genes, my lifestyle and how much I take care of myself. With this in mind, you will find women who look much better or far worse than similarly aged men. My own experience is that I seem much more attractive to women of all ages now(I am 38), than 10 years ago. Thus, I am of the opinion that many women are attracted to men who SHOW their age, their wrinkles and all. On the other hand, we men are attracted to women with a more youthful, wrinkle-free appearance(I know I am). So, I think I have peaked later in my life, but I am not sure if that is the case in general for men. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites
Lishy Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Yes but cheap wine does not age well Damn, I will have to drink that 15 year old bottle of Lambrusco I have been saving for my first borns wedding present!

Cheers, I'm 32 and I would'nt take my 20's looks (unless accompanied with a very major lump-sum payment). It is true that some guys peak earlier - there are some 27 year olds that look like my uncles or daddies, but generally we've got nothing to complain about. One exception: Brad Pitt - he is so effeminate, that instead of looking better with age, he looks like a 40 year old woman . Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I get a lot more looks on the street now than when I was 20. I agree with TBF. I find people of all ages to be beautiful. Halle Berry, anyone?? I also find that people become more beautiful when they have experienced life. Young 20 somethings can be physically appealing but I find myself more attracted to people who have faced challenges in life and come out on the other side. Link to post Share on other sites

I can think of many examples of men who peaked really, really young and looked progressively worse with age, especially when you factor in baldness. Yep...when I think of my high school reunion (and college reunion, come to that), I have to say that on the whole, the men weren't doing so well. Many of the guys simply did NOT age gracefully (looked puffy/worn out, balding, got fatter), while many of the women looked pretty good. I actually wonder if it's because some guys take it as a truism that they'll age gracefully, so they just don't bother to try, while women expend effort to remain attractive. On the whole, the effort seems to be the most important factor, I'd say. Based from what I saw. But I suspect Green doesn't care about that sort of life experience. Not sure what the point of making a thread like this is, in fact, except that he's hoping to piss people off. >shrug< I guess we all have to amuse ourselves somehow. Green, please come back and explain why you felt the need to make this thread in the first place. Thanks. One exception: Brad Pitt - he is so effeminate, that instead of looking better with age, he looks like a 40 year old woman . Totally disagree, actually. I've never thought he was all that hot, but I do think he looks better now (a bit weathered-looking) than he did when he was in his 20s, in the Thelma and Louise days. He was too "pretty" back then, too much of a blank slate. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but what's the point if whoever you're having sex with has to stop and regroup , and I bet there is inverse relationship between time to regroup and hotness of the partner, as much as there is one between being young and regrouping, so it always takes two Link to post Share on other sites
