Can a 27 year old compete with a 21 year old girl?

[MissJoness]

can a 27 year old still be attractive enough to compete for the same men as a 21 year old?

[yongyong]

If it was in a bar situation, definitely No.

[MissJoness]

If it was in a bar situation, definitely No.

[MissJoness]

This girl is 21

her face looks really young

[Hawaii50]

I think a 27 yr can very-much contend with a 21 yr old.. now can a 37 yr old? no. 27 is prime woman-hood. I wish she could be 27 forrrrrevvvver.

[insertnamehere]

If it was in a bar situation, definitely No.

 

At age 32 I was able to impress a 20-year old waitress at a local bar enough for us to try things out (it failed, but . . . that's not the question here). And there's a college about two miles away.

 

Sorry, it's doable.

 

The thing is a lot of women in their early 20s are just coming to the realization that adulthood itself doesn't fix young men into real men all by itself. And a certain percentage will decide they're going to give older men a try.

 

I should also add that my dad was 55 and my mom 25 when they married. So, again . . . 27 y.o. male with 21 y.o. female is perfectly workable.

I am 25 and look like 20 - 21 to many people who see me. There are plenty of 21 year olds or sadly, high school teens where I live in Australia, who are chubby and do not work out or take care of themselves and have bad teenage skin still ( at age 21).

Where as I am a fit and active 25 year old who is more attractive than the lazy, tubby 21 year olds I see.

 

It depends on the 21 year old and how attractive she is. It depends on how attractive the 27 year old is too.

 

An ugly 21 year old will attract less men than a hot 27 year old.

Where as a hot 21 and 27 year old, who are equally as attractive say, (or a 21 year old compared to her 27 year old self) are likely to attract the same ammount of dudes.

The only different betwee those ages, is that at 21 some women are very thin and only mature into their true, adult form at ages 25 or therabouts.

So the women who are skinny little hot things at age 21 who the gain s lot of weight to grow into their adult body; those women will not likely attract as many men if they go from slim and fit, to heavy set.

 

That said, a skinny 21 year old, if she only gaines a little weight, may attract MORE men at age 27; most men prefer thin/fit over too skinny!

[yongyong]

If he chooses her over you, who knows if she is really fun to be around, mature for her age, knows how to treat a man during daytime and night and has been doing kegel exercise eagerly? Are you going to blame it on your age?

 

If he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you. stop worrying about it and move on to other men.

[ThaWholigan]

It depends on what the man is looking for - and who the man is.

 

You probably shouldn't be thinking about it like a competition - he either likes you or not, then you go about your business. You'll be fine, there are those who will prefer dating a 27 year old to a 21 year old, and vice versa.

[NoMoreJerks]

It depends. On a lot of things. Different people like/prefer different types/things/looks. It's not like there is a huge difference in age. If you said 50 vs 20, sure, I'd say, no, the 50 year old's chances get significantly lower, but anyone between 20 and 40? I don't see much of a difference. Some people at 40 look just as young as 20-year-olds. I'm turning 30 in a few months, and I've never met any stranger who hasn't thought I was 22-23. Besides, even if I looked 29, some guys might prefer more mature-looking women. Unless they're just looking for a ONS.

[kaylan]

It depends on the guy, his age, and where hes at in life. And it depends on what both women are like as well and how they mesh with the dude.

If it was in a bar situation, definitely No.

False. It still depends on the women. Both girls are in their 20s, and being younger doesnt make the 21 year old automatically more attractive, and more compatible with the dude.

[Eternal Sunshine]

Eh, my ex met me (32 then) and a 21yo girl on the same night and got our numbers. He pursued me and not her. He was 30 at the time.

 

He said that he felt that she was too immature and they had little in common. He also said that he pretty much would not date under 25 girl seriously.

[yongyong]

Of course, it depends on the woman. she only provided ages...

 

anyways, I would go for tina fay, helen hunt, jody foster, katie couric over average looking 18 year olds (I am not 30 yet)

 

does it make me look very deep?

[madjac74]

It's a 6 year difference so i don't understand the competition. I dated a 27 yr old who could easily blend into any college campus. You probably have far greater issues than just age

[Minka333]

Yes. Even a fit, well-groomed, attractive and confident 40 somethings can compete with any age. It's all about how you present yourself to the world. Desirability is not just physical, you should also have the personality to match.

 

And i've seen some knockout moms who made heads turn instead of their daughters.

[Disenchantedly Yours]

1.) To be attractive is not only a metter of beauty

2.) 27 is not old at all. My wife is almost 31 and she looks even hotter nowadays then she looked when I got to know her at 18 ;o)

3.) Personality in my opinion makes 90% of the "attractive factor"

 

The guy I am dating is like you I think!

 

Need more guys like you and him.

[MilitantPacifist]

Frankly I'm 29 and the thought of dating a 21 year old girl is a little disturbing too me.

 

Not only do they look indistinguishable from high school seniors (which are children to me at this point) their maturity levels are also way lower than I could possibly relate to. I'd feel like a pedophile even trying to do it.

 

I'd go for the 27 year old if I had to pick between the two. But I'm more likely to date a girl who's upwards of 35.

[xxoo]

Why are you competing for the same men?

 

There isn't a huge physical difference between a fit, attractive 21 yo and a fit, attractive 27 year old. But there is generally a fundamental difference in maturity and life stage.

[oldshirt]

you don't say what you are looking for.

 

If you are wanting to pick up college guys in a meat-market bar, then you are going to have to rely on your pick-up skills more (which pick up skills for an even remotely attractive 27 year old woman is basically, "would you like to F me")

 

But if you are looking for an educated, employed professional in his late 20s-30s then the 27 year old clearly has the advantage provided you have your own $h!t together and are yourself a squared-away, educated, working professional and not some loser that has let yourself go and you are all fat and unkempt.

 

Once a guy reaches a certain level of maturity, education and career success 21 year olds in bars lose a tremendous amount of their appeal.

 

When I was 22 I started dating a 26 year old and by the time we split up a few years later I never gave 21 year olds the time of day anymore.

 

Bottom line is a 27 year female that is remotely mature and squared-away has limitless market value. But her options depend more on the maturity and market value of the men in her life and what they are in the market for. If a guy is mature and at a life-stage he is ready to find a legitimate mate, the 27 year old has it hands-down. If the guy is 21 and trying to bang everthing in sight then he'll probably hit on the 21 year old first.

[bac]

can a 27 year old still be attractive enough to compete for the same men as a 21 year old?

 

Who are the men you are talikng about? Please specify the men?

Do you mean men with PDs or looking for ONSs or looking for someone to cheat on their wives or smth else?

There is a type of men who would prefer smth younger. So, if you are talking about short, fat, bald males in 50s with ED who can get hard only on teen porn, they will certainly prefer a 21 y.o.

[Hawaii50]

No, horrendous skin problems or obesity aside women don't improve between 21 and 27.

 

I happen to strongly disagree. 21-27 is when a girl becomes a women. I also couldn't dig on a 21 yr old, but 27 sounds perfect. mentally, physically, emotionally.

 

I'm not sure how people bridge some of these age gaps. I mean, I understand as you get older, numbers mean less and less, but I still can't fathom at least right now @ 30.

[somedude81]

Only if a 55 year old man can compete with a 62 year old man.

[scatterd]

Age is just a number when it comes to attraction. I think it depends on the person. Most people want a person that has looks, personality and the things that they look for. As far as competing goes if a person sees that they could find that attractive or unattractive.

Every person has their own opinion on what they want and what they think is pretty. As they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

[Anela]

Yes, she can. There wasn't much of a difference for me, in those years.

 

The question is, do you really want a guy who would choose someone, based solely on their age?

[mesmerized]

Easy answer, absolutely. I feel like im in my prime and attract men sexually from any age. Also, what age range of men are you looking for? Men in late twenties would actually prefer you to a 21 year old, specially when it comes to relationships unlike whay ls makes you believe.
