Are women more attractive when their 18-24?

[Rejected Rosebud]

 

While women do have a shelf life of only a handful of years on the traditional dating market, that doesn't mean that they are doomed to a life of loneliness at all. A mature woman that hasn't gotten fat and that still takes care of herself will still garner male attention and attraction and will still have options for hook ups, relationships and even marriage.

O M G :rolleyes:

 

 

But those options will be more mature men who have started to lose their hair and are getting soft around the middle themselves and/or who have already had a marriage or two and who have had children.

:lmao: REALLY?? I don't think so. A fit woman in her 30's or older will pair up with a fit man. An unfit person would be incompatible with her and why would she settle for that when she would be happier with a fit man who takes care of himself like she does?

 

What 30+ year old women will typically struggle with is getting anywhere the 25-35 year old, tall, fit, handsome, never married/no kids professional men with good careers and great future earning potentials that want to marry and raise a family. Those guys are going to be going after the young, hot, fit babes that don't have the baggage of prior marriages and kids from prior relationships.

 

I don't know who you hang out with, but in my world a professional man with a great life has different criteria for the woman he wants to marry and raise a family with than "young hot fit babe."

 

 

That is the market where women have a shelf life and why women shouldn't waste their "pretty" in their youth on dead-end relationships and men that aren't any good and aren't going anywhere.

 

Aaaargh, this is so sexist and ancient that I can't even ... :mad:

 

OP - of course everybody's body is the most beautiful when we are young!! And like others have said the raging hormones of our 20's are supposed to chill out a little as we grow older and that's why guys are not hitting on everything that moves anymore.

 

Don't pay attention to all of this "shelf life" ignorant talk. Women, or any people are not products for somebody to purchase. If you are a desirable person (being young hot fit and a babe is not really the sum total of that) single men who are in your age range and who are looking for a partner will not pass you by because you are not in your 2O's any more!!

[ManyDissapoint]

Yes they are.

[LLQ1986]

I'm in my late 20s now and I feel like I've never looked this good in my entire life, probably because I workout more and eat cleaner and healthier now. Also, I'm at this age I feel pretty comfortable & confident with my own body (came to terms with my flaws and accepted them and acknowledged my good qualities)

[GunslingerRoland]

At a minimum modern western societies ideal of looks for women peaks at the 16-25 age bracket.

 

 

Are their lots of women considered beautiful at 35 plus? Of course, but the ones most commonly considered beautiful also look young for their age.

 

 

And of course like others have mentioned, single 30 year olds are much rarer than single 20 year olds. And some of those that choose to be single at that age are because they want to keep chasing 20 year olds forever.

[GorillaTheater]

It's hard to argue that women that young are generally more physically/superficially more attractive, though I'd be inclined to argue that peaks for women a bit older, maybe in their early 30s. But as has been pointed out, "attractiveness" encompasses a lot more than the merely physical.

 

 

As I get older, the women I find myself attracted to have gotten just as old.

[carhill]

Heh, yeah, same here, enjoy the ladies my age and even older but IMO there is no substitute for the listed age bracket in attracting men of all categories and ages. Anyone who has daughters that age and a shotgun probably keeps it well maintained.

If I had to pinpoint the age where I've seen the naturally tightest bodies and just that 'BAM' factor where everything's popping and yet there's no more signs of childishness or adolescence whatsoever (no more baby face, clear skin, hips are as wide and saucy as they'll ever get, etc.), it would actually be 28.

In all seriousness, I think it's more about how a much higher percentage of men who are the same age as you (compared to when you were 18-20) are now in relationships.

 

Possibly older guys are more selective in who/where they make a move - while younger guys will go for anything female.

 

 

This. Plus younger women tend to be more receptive to being approached or hit on by strangers. A woman in her 30's may be married or offended by some random dude hitting on her. Guys know this and are more reserved about how they come on.

[mrs rubble]

I got approached by men more in my 30's, than in my 20's. My guess is because I look young for my age (I was still being ID'd at 35!!).

My hottest years were 30-35 yrs. Prior to 30yrs old I had a tomboyish body, narrow hips, little butt, no boobs, in spite of having had 2 kids, but I still had a lot of baby fat in my face. I was very childish looking but cute. After 30 my butt rounded (still firm and high), my boobs got bigger and softer but I still had my tight flat belly and firm thighs, so basically a still young but curvier body and my face narrowed and became more sexy and womanly. I had thought my best years were behind me so I was so surprised when guys started going crazy for me after I turned 30.

[jen1447]

^ Yes there certainly are exceptions and very beautiful women far in either direction from that age.

[Alamo657]

Women are at their absolute best between 27 and 32. No wrinkles, soft skin, mature sex appeal...

 

Before, they still look childish.

 

After, it depends.

Those who take care of themselves properly (creams...) can keep a beautiful face until their early 50, but unless they have the money for surgery, it goes downhill from there and mother nature is very hard on women's facial beauty.

 

As for the body, nobody is forced to eat sugar and fat and not do any kind of physical activity, so women can remain sexy as long as they put the effort in it.

 

Imo, a fat body is a much more major turn off than a wrinkled face on a slim body.

Yes, the younger women are more physically attractive.

[loveweary11]

I remember being 18-20 and getting hit on all the time, I believe that I was in my prime, being young and desirable. I'm in my mid 30's now and when I out and about-in public or possibly meeting people, I hardly get hit on by guys anymore...I wonder why? Have my looks declined over the years? Or is it harder for 35 year old woman to get noticed these days when there's a fresh breed of 18 year olds?

 

Sort of,

 

But the real reason is that time has passed and the vast majority of women have over eaten their whole lives and not exercised enough.

 

A lot of younger girls have the high metabolism going in their favor. This slows down and they don't account for the change as they age.

 

Until you get quite old, you can have the body of the 20 year old if you're wiling to put the effort in.

 

I do and women say i have the body of a 23 year old guy when I take my shirt off. That's a nice thing to hear as you approach 40.

 

PS: Eating right and not over indulging in vices will keep wrinkles away too.
