At what age do you think men and women reach their peak physical attractiveness?

Question

Like the questions says, what age do you think men and women reach their peak physical attractiveness.In my opinion women reach their peak at around early 30's. Men I'm not sure.What about you?

After careful and extensive consideration I believe that there is no correct or accurate answer to this question. If you have ever taken a class in anthropology then you know that a male is usually fully developed at approximately 23. A female is not fully developed until about 28. This is proven by bone and body analysis.

The Media has done a poor job at trying to force a certain view of what a perfect male or female should look like. Female models are generally a size one or 2 and this is supposed to represent the ideal female. Realistically the average female is 5'4"/164lbs so I have no clue as to how the media came to their conclusion.

In my opinion, I believe beauty and personality are the biggest factors in forming an opinion on peak physical attractiveness. I have met girls that are size 2-4, 5'4"ish 90lbs tiny chest and rear that were somewhat cute but acted very ditsy. After meeting with them their initial beauty began to fade away. On the other hand I have met girls that were size 18-20, 5'4" 225lbs full figured chest and rear and average looks. After meeting with them they appeared to be very intelligent and after a short time became very physically attractive.

Ask a few couples that have been together for 10, 20, 30, or more years and in most cases they will tell you that their partner is the most attractive type. Many times if people break up, they will usually find a similar person to date and find that type of person to be the most attractive.

So after considering all the above, I believe many people will agree that it is probably impossible to define the age that people become the most attractive. At first glance, I personally find a girl with a large chest and fuller figure to be the most attractive. Many people sub-consciously define attractiveness by the most fit and able to reproduce which makes defining the most attractive next to impossible.

For more credible info on physical development you can start by looking at the anthropology info at the Univ. of WI/ Waukesha. They have probably one of the largest skeletal collections in the USA. These came from many large donations to the school so my info is based mainly on fact and not opinion.

The bottom line is that the most physically attractive beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

I think there are people that reach their peak at an early age, but there are people that get really hot until they are really old. In my opinion it is not set in stone.
