Do you think the same people that you thought were average, cute, hot, etc when they were teens, are still in the same attractiveness range as adults?

Adults like in 20s or 30s

Most of them are/probably are

Nah, some of them look way better as adults, or look a little bit less sexy, hot, etc as adults

It depends on weight loss or gain

No, I'm surprised at the transformations that some of them, and people in general make from teenage to young adult years

I've rarely ever seen people as "adults" that I used to know in their teens. Of the ones I HAVE seen in their 40's and beyond, they hardly look at all like they did in their teens!! I've had several walk up to me and had to TELL ME who they were before I could make the connection! SOME of them still look the same now as when they were in school with me, like, Rick Balkey. I haven't seen him since our 25th school reunion but, nearest I can tell, he still looks the same!! This is him 15 years after high school and he looks exactly the same!

In the meantime, Carl Kurtz was a kinda cute little red-haired guy but, when I saw him at the reunion, he had to tell me who he was because he looked, to me, like a 70 year old, bald Munchkin with a big nose!! Except for gaining weight, Diane Rudl still looks just as cute as she was when I had a crush on her.

Off the top of my head, if I think of 8 women I grew up with: 1 was an ugly duckling and became super attractive. 1 was attractive and became an ugly duckling. 1 girl I dated in HS. was cute then and broken down and looking super old (in a bad way) when she was in her 30s. The rest all look as good or BETTER with age. Aging like wine.

When I saw a pic of my wife from back when she was a teen, I'd say she was right up there with the best. But she never was a cheerleader type or living 'that life'. Some females just have good genes.

[hahahmm]

And no, nobody looks EXACTLY like they did as a teen. women have a more mature look as they get older. So it's not comparing apples to apples. More like I'm saying if I thought a girl was an 8 when I was in high school, now at my age, looking at her now, what do I think NOW. If I look at a high school kid now, I'm not thinking of it in the same way as when I was that age (!). ha. I mean, I can tell if a teen looks good or not but it's not the same because I'm not *attracted* to them. Sort of like when you look at say a 5 year old you can tell if one is cute or not but it's not like looking at somebody your own age.

Yes it’s pretty much all in the weight gain lol the other day I looked up all the girls who had the same name as me in one of my classes on facebook (we are fb friends but I hardly ever use fb) and don’t live in that country anymore. The fat one looked exactly as I remembered if not a tiny bit better because she had a better style as an adult. The prettiest one didn’t gain and looked still beautiful but the cute one got fat and not cute no more looks much older than she is too 😟.

Most of them no. I graduated with 56 people in my class and stay in touch with most and I found a good portion of the girls attractive back then now maybe 2 or 3 of them are attractive to me now.
