      Yeah, but as you get older people a certain number of years younger than you start looking like legit children. And personally, I feel like a wider range of life experiences (on average) matter more to women than to men.

      But also, this chart is flawed in that we don’t know how many people per age/per gender were asked, how they calculated variation, what the error rate is, or even what the source of the data is. It’s literally just a Microsoft Office chart.

        I’m not saying I want a relationship with a twenty year old or that women older than that are categorically unattractive, but as far as looks alone go, when I started puberty at 11, I thought women around 20 were the best-looking. When I was 20, I thought women around 20 were the best looking. And now that I’m 40, I still think women around 20 are the best-looking. Maybe I’ll change my mind as I keep getting older but I doubt it. Having to accept this is simply part of having to accept the more general pattern of physical decline produced by aging - I don’t look bad and women my age don’t look bad, but both they and I don’t look as good as we used to.

          That’s interesting. I think women are most attractive in their late 20s to early 30s. Younger, to me, they still have child-like features. Older, the effects of aging start to take place. As for men, 30s and 40s is where it is.

          They get more plump around 26, at 20, they have baby face, and are almost bones. At 26, they have a middle build. After that, they get depressed or something, and tend to be less fun. Just my opinion imho. Even if she is attractive, her personality just ruins it.

      Speak for yourself. My acne is finally gone, I look super sophisticated, and they never really wanted my bulging muscles anyways.

      GenX dude who peaked around my late 40s, early 50s. At 54, on the downside now. :(

      As to women, loads of the pretty/popular girls went downhill fast after high school and so many of the nerdy girls bloomed.
