It’s a question I was wondering. Is there a “most attractive” age for men and women? Is the age the same or different for males and females?
I think I was at my most attractive at the age of 25-28. I find most women to be beautiful by accident up to their late 20s. I actually find a lot of guys have dad bods or start balding in their late 20s. I guess the short answer is everybody is at their best in their mid 20s.
It depends.
Where do you come up w/these ?'s, seriously?::)
Any age (over 18 of course)
Hell,
Are you ageist or something?
Jeff, are you from L.A.? L.A. men are so creepily obsessed with age, it's sad.
if you are speaking very generally then I don't think there is any specific age. As they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". So everyone , even different cultures find different ages and other things beautiful. There are women who are more beautiful when they are older and there are men I've seen who have all their hair and are very good looking when young but keep their good looks and their bodies well into their 60s. In parts of Africa a full figure with big hips and large bust is considered beautiful whereas in the US it wouldn't be.
In scientific studies done on dating, it's the scent of someone that attracts us (pheromones), and the waist to hip ratio in women, and certain measurements across the face (again for women) Men don't even realize that is what they are attracted to but in experiments it definitely is!
What was so interesting was that they gave younger women tshirts that they said guys had worn and the tshirts were actually ones their brothers had worn. They had to do a sniff test and tell them how much they were attracted to the person wearing that tshirt by the scent. The tshirts their brothers wore were described as smelling disgusting, gross, etc. This is natures way of try to ensure you don't end up dating your brother because you are turned off by his smell.
So with all of these factors and throwing in how we perceive things differently plus culturally we see faces and bodies differently I don't think there is any certain age that MOST PEOPLE or EVERYONE finds more attractive than another one. If you do the test with just Americans then the results might be different.
It depends on the context. Generally I tend to be attracted to men 40+. If we're going by looks alone, yes I might find a man under that age physically attractive. There's more to attraction than just looks. Both women and men can be good looking at any age. It depends on how well they take care of themselves, lifestyle habits, diet, and genetics.
Personally, and along with what Wish said women from 20 to 28 seem to be the most attractive on average to me. And for men it seems that 38 to 48 is a man's peak attractive age because status, social standing, and maturity is factored into a man's attractiveness where for a woman it isn't.
That being said America is a horrible place to try and rate attractiveness because so many people are horribly out of shape across entire age brackets.
Men and women are just "wired" differently. As a man, no matter what age you get, generally speaking, you're going to find women from 18 to 35 age range the most attractive. Males don't keep desiring the females of their same age group, they keep looking at the women younger then them as they age and get older.
What I don't get is how secioty browbeats older men who desire much younger women and label men as such as "creeps". Say a 55 year old man who desires a 25 year old woman. It should be obvious that a man would find a younger woman attractive. She is in the prime of her life, little to no emotional baggage, and full of energy and a zest for life that often times can be contagious. What is the problem?
That being said, as a man in his 30s, I lust after women in their mid 20s, but connect emotionally and mentally with women 45 and older. I just have the most engaging and interesting conversations with much older women that are pretty much non existent with women under 40.
Because it is creepy to lust after someone the same age as your kids - especially if said kids are barely legal. Also, some of these old men only go after college co-eds because they are in the depths of a mid-life crisis, they are trying to slick manipulate younger women, etc. and some are just straight up borderline deviant pervs
It is also assuming only young 20 somethings are physically attractive. Women can be in their prime well into their 40's, 50's, and 60's. (Look as J-Lo, Cher, Christy Brinkley, Nicole Murphy, and a slew of women looking physically attractive 40+ because they take care of themselves)
Of course we all have our preferences, but attraction is more than just physical age
For men, it is probably the age of maximum income.
For me personally....
I see a lot of men my age (36)looking like shit already, while 21 yr olds are trying to gf me up. At near 30 and up, most men start losing their hair and grow guts. I'm sorry, it's been a needle in a hay stack trying to find someone near my age attractive and single. Oh well. That's life.
That said, it's hard to find good looking men period. No matter what age. I'm in the wrong town.
On the other hand, my mom(at 67) has been getting lucky. Lol. Her last two BFs have been younger and good looking. The current is 60, but he is genetically good looking. Not bc he is 60. Some ppl are just genetically lucky. He has all of his hair(thick salt and pepper), all of his teeth(no nasty stains), olive skin, tall, and light bright green eyes. He is head over heals over her too.
There is no way to answer this question because there are way too many other variables that may influence someone's attractiveness. Some people get more attractive as they get older. I don't think there is any one age that is most attractive. To think along those lines does come off as slightly creepy.
Probably because most relationships with such a huge gap (father-daughter and grandparent-grandchild gaps) are rarely ever genuine or healthy. Look at gold digger and mail order bride situations, most of which feature an old man with a much younger woman. Both the man and woman are using each other.
I don't think there's a specific answer to this since it varies from person to person.
My personal opinion on male attractiveness and age is kind of racist. I don't really find most white men over 30 all that attractive, and I think Asian men tend to age very well.
I see right through this poster. Let me guess—you’re a regular poster on “red pill” too? Bye Felicia
About 35, if well-preserved.
In the case of women especially, that seems to be the point of maximum interplay between physical attractiveness and "class".
There are, of course, "early bloomers" - everyone surely remembers those attractive people in high school who developed early, etc. Then got fat quickly after and look like crap by 25.
Probably late teens to mid twenties for women and early/mid twenties to early thirties for men. Of course there are a lot of exceptions but typically I think this is when people look their best naturally without much effort.
Personally, I would not want to bang men as old as my father, grandfather, nor great-grandfather outside of this industry. Why? Because it is fantasy and I am getting paid. Older men are cool but 30 to 60 age gaps are pretty extreme and creepy.Well, it is creepy for the 30 to 60 age gap alone. Also, men picking up people 30 to 60 years younger than themselves need to worry about the violent gold digger and black widow factors even more than usual. Everyone knows that black widow killers and the most violent of gold diggers are the first ones waiting in line for the super older man ride. Their vanity and quest for ultimate female youth will betrayed them in the end. Black widow and violent gold diggers all know this. That's why it is creepy! :)

I find a LOT of men & women 40-50 to be super yummy. Might be my fave (even tho i'm 28 ).
To answer the Op's original question:
Men and women can be attractive at any age. In this industry, I will take older men as clients because that is just business.Personally, I enjoy men between 21 to 50 depending if they fit into my view of male beauty. However, I do not want men old enough to be my father,grandfather, or great-grandfather. You see, how I was raised...people should want more sensible aged partners instead of trying to be 70 years old and sleeping with 18 years old college students. Unless it is pay for play situation...than it makes no sense. :)Just saying :)
