Sonorous · Accepted Answer

It's harder to say with men than it is for women. Because women's dating preferences are more complex than mens.

Men mainly care about looks and that comes and goes with youth. So women's wall tends to be around their late 20's or 30's if they don't cake on makeup and get surgery.

With guys it's different. It can vary depending on his social status, looks, charisma, and wealth. Let's just stick with looks though. It tends to be specific to the guy. He can look old but not the weak and on the brink of death type of old. The mature looking typeof old that's still healthy and can do fun things. And that can be all the way up to his 60's though with any ugly and poor guys, it tends to be mid to late 30's. So many factors can alter a guys perceived wall.

It depends on how he maintains himself.
This teen guy used to look one of the most good looking guys for many young girls. He was a small actor but so popular because of his looks and acting.

But as soon as he turned 22, he started to appear MORE OLD, CLUMSY and like a wild beast uncle.
He SUDDENLY became ugly.
He's 29 now but looks like 38 yo old.

They don't... This hit the wall, socially marketable stuff is just another issue I see with people these days... Why not just see people as people, not their age or "attributes" or looks...
And everybody ages different... In looks, maturity, etc...
And THAT'S what I go by, the individual PERSON...

Physically most people hit the wall in their late 20s, early 30s tops. You're in your physical prime in your late teens/early 20s, and you start to get old once you hit 30. Most men are also not Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, or any of the other rich and famous male celebrities they point to as if they're at all comparable. That's a cope. Men who tell women they hit the wall, that women age like milk and men age like wine are coping. The women who say that they hit their prime in their late 30s are also coping. These are people who usually fucked up in their 20s and didn't/couldn't find someone good to settle down with long-term/marry.

80 years old I guess. My grandfather died last month at the age of 82 and he was a ghost of the man he was. It broke my heart to see him so thin and frail and sickly 😢 maybe I am wrong though, my grandmother still loves him and still thinks he was beautiful. God rest his soul ❤️

alice55 · Answer

I would say 25 in general guys become less attractive at this age because they begin to have wrinkles (those of
dehydration) and begin to gain weight (in their stomach). But some guys stay attractive, it mainly depend if they do take care of themselves or not (and also of their gene) some guys would still be attractive even if they do lots of shits while others just have unattractive face features no matter their age. Some older guys are attractive and some younger not, it mainly depend on their genes but as a general rules male attractiveness decrease around their 25 / 30 years old (when they begin to show sign of aging). Those that decrease at 25 are those that have unhealthy life style (bad sleeping habits, bad food, overworking, no physical training, etc...)

Alyssa11 · Answer

I don't know if all women agree with me on this but the older a man gets the more attractive he becomes (considering that he takes care of his health etc).

Older man look so much more 'daddy' lool. I don't know if it's cause it makes them look more manly? But wow.

evangeline777 · Answer

A few years ago I was on tinder. The age range was from 18 to 50.
I have to say, 38 is the year when they hit the wall.
Younger than 38, they still look good/ok, but older? None of them looked good.
Used and abused, sad, depressed looking men.

British_Empire_1707 · Answer

Depends. Usually about 40 compared to 30 with women

Unit1 · Answer

When they get a beer belly and/or are ugly to look at. Or they're broke or make around minimum wage. The wall doesn't stop men from getting women (or gold diggers to be exact) however.

SaraSmithishere · Answer

I mean, a lot of guys I know let themselves go after college, so maybe age 28?

Overall, I'm only 29, so much older men look unattractive to me. My dad looks great though, and he's 67.

For dating and sexual attraction? I think most men are gone by age 45. My boss is 45 (?), and he looks like an older dad.

Browneye57 · Answer

Money and status are part of a man's SMV. FACT.
A man's peak SMV is 35-38 years old.
So, a forty year old guy, that has kept his physique, has some bucks, is reasonably good looking, and has some game, can snag women from 25 to 55 - pretty much the entire age-range of the dating pool. But really, why would a guy like this choose a fifty instead of a thirty? This is the age old question that really stumps the ladies. It's because youth and beauty are sought after the world around, by all peoples, ages and and all genders. To deny it is a complete failure to accept or recognize reality.

Posterboy56 · Answer

Well, I see your update dude, but the completely illogical and irrational part about it is (not surprising, given who you're asking this question of) is that females actually find money and social status sexually attractive-- which is complete nonsense of course, but they do. Whereas guys are more rational and find a female either physically attractive, or not, and it has nothing to do with whether she's a janitor or a movie star, females aren't like that. There is no extricating the two ideas from each other, sadly.

Vinnygraphix · Answer

Reason why I said it is because I was engaged twice, because the two women I dated both hated the fact that I would cook clean cut grass. Crazy part I worked 3 jobs and still dedicated time to have intimacy, and spend time by either cooking going out. They needed something I never gave it second thoughts, and did it out of love but then they left me. One of them aborted my child said I’m not a real man plus she said she does not want to have a child who might turn out to be a beta vs her x who was in prison who she considered a alpha male so because of those two incidents and dating on and off 99.99% of woman where I live in the city of NYC always talks about they want a man who has 6 figure income, and to take her out to diff parts of the world.

laPrincesitaRoxi · Answer

Depends on the guy, some guys hit the wall earlier than others,
I’ve seen guys in there 20’s like me start to loose that oomf they once had but that’s typically when their on drug or start to not take care of themselves no more
But most guys hit the wall at like I don't know 40 ?
Some guys in there 30’s look pretty good but 40 year old guys not so much only rarely sometimes

nerdybutlazy · Answer

I would say late 30 those becuase your metabolism slows down a lot more then, not to mention if you don't take care of yourself then the best you'll look is maybe your mid-20s but some men have a huge glo up in their 50s so it all depends

gypsy_rose · Answer

i think some men get better looking as they age. i've seen some pretty hot old men out there... but that doesn't mean i desire them sexually. though physical attraction is utmost important, i think most of a man's sexiness is in his character, not his age or his looks.

MzAsh · Answer

Men look best around 25. It seems a lot of guys like to grow facial hair after that age which I just don’t find beards attractive at all.

girlzruleboyzdrool · Answer

It depends on how he takes care of himself and if you are someone growing old too
If people only focus on younger is hotter, they'll never be happy in future with their own appearance or their partners appearance

You really have to redefine what media puts in your head.

Hot is a toned body, white teeth and a nice looking face. Personality and charm go with it too

Beauty is in the eye, of the beholder

lucky840 · Answer

The older I get my tastes in men have also matured. I find myself looking at guys like George clooney instead of orlando bloom as far as looks go. I like the little bit of chest hair as to when I was younger I liked a smooth chest. So I think out taste in men change over time just like our taste in food.

mamamai · Answer

If we’re talking looks depends on the man. Some never were good looking, some bald in their 20s some look good until their 50s, but it greatly depends on the guy.

Konabeana · Answer

Varies for each. I would say around late 30s, they start looking less attractive because they are less fertile

imanf7 · Answer

In their late 20 or 30 's. especially most of them get bold or get fat that will make it even faster. Women look their best at their 30's

Massageman · Answer

My maternal grandfather was very young-looking. When we went to carnivals, the "age guessing dude" always wanted to see his DL for proof. They would always guess considerably lower. So, I have inherited part of a younger-ish face. People usually put me a few years less than my age of 70ish. I'm not a star, but I wash up well for an old guy.

KingdomForAKiss · Answer

I've seen some handsome silver foxes... just saying... I'm not sure of the age. Maybe mid-50s. And it's not that they become unattractive suddenly, it's just that a certain look seems more appropriate if I look similar in age.

el_Te_de_la_Rosa · Answer

20s or 30s, if that man looks like this.  Smoking or drinking add more years on the face and body.

mechee · Answer

I like wrinkles.. and I like to be with someone who is 5 to 10 years older than me..  I think your opinion will change as you get older :)

Anonymous · Answer

lol so many women trying to 'get back at men' by acting like we have a wall.

Men aren't women. Women are born rich and grow poor, men are born poor and grow rich. Marriage is the great equalizer. Yeah though people saying men look bad by 25, you are out of your fucking minds, most men don't even start looking good till late 20s early 30s.

Avicenna · Answer

It really depends not only on pure looks, but how his self-confidence radiates, and for a lot of us, that is much stronger than when we were younger. Also how he dresses has an effect.

bekalen · Answer

Depends on the individual man to me. I see guy's hit the "wall" at various stages of life and age. Don't think that older men are not as sexy as someone 20 years younger, Physically speaking.

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

I think it varies widely depending on the person, same for when it comes to women and aging. Aging is more dependent on genetics and how well a person cares for their body more than anything.

SandandWaves · Answer

Anna__M · Answer

Somewhere around their late 50s. If they take good care of their bodies that is.

At 29 'cause then they start to loose their hairs, and have more wrinkles and also start gaining weigh. At least that is my experience

kaylaS91 · Answer

Some guys hit the wall at 20. Others age like fine wine and get sexier over the years.

Anonymous · Answer

Not a woman obviously, but i've heard it said that men stop losing their looks once their hair becomes full Grey rather than salt & pepper.

So around 60 .

Obviously an attractive 25y man is attractive in a different way than an attractive 45y man. But both can be attractive assuming theyvtake care of themselves like most men don't.

JaneDoe377 · Answer

I've seen it happen to guys in their 20s, 30s, 40s. It depends on the guy

There’s no wall for men or women.  there is a long steady decline which happens faster or slower depending on how you take care of yourself.

hahahmm · Answer

Your update point is strange because women DO get wet when their man has success in business. It’s well known. Ha ha

thegirlfromthething · Answer

Most guys were never attractive to begin with but I’ve seen men who were still attractive into their 70s.

Bandit74 · Answer

Depends on how soon they lose their hair. Aside from letting yourself go weight wise, going bald is the biggest thing that tanks a guys attractiveness.

Jendcheuebc · Answer

Based on a lot of scientific research - For men it’s their fertility diving off around 35. But they’ll still think they have forever.

obviously after our 60s or even beyond if you workout a lot and do shit that keep your testosterones high and avoid drinking and smoking like a maniac

FriedPickles1218 · Answer

It depends on the guy; their genetics, diet, skin care, etc. My dad is in his mid 60s and could easily pass for at least ten years younger.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

When we are dead - maybe. If there is an estate and power to be had, even if dead, we can be awfully damn sexy.
