At what age did you hit your prime?

Question

Prime being the best version of yourself. Looks and all other things too.

Personally I haven't hit it yet and I'm thankful for that. Some women (and men too) hit their peak in high-school. That just seems terrible. I take after my mom and she looked and felt her best from 35 to 50 so I'll probably just be the same as her.

Probably somewhere between 25-30. Still looking good and feeling good for my age, but I don’t think I can ever compete with 25 year old me. I’m probably in better shape now as far as taking my shirt off at the beach, but the younger you are, the fewer the lines in your face, haha. I’m not even doing that tough for wrinkles, really.

I don’t know, I feel like I just get fewer looks from the ladies now, I think due to age. And the ladies in question are usually at my gym and in their 20s, so they’re not even dating age range for me, but their attention is still my barometer for my own attractiveness.

And like I said, I look good for my age, I’d say I look more 30-35…. but I was 22 once, and at that time I still thought 30 was ANCIENT, lmfao🤦‍♂️, so even looking 30-ish, I’m still “old” to most of the best looking girls at my gym. There are 22 year old guys there in great shape, why would they look at me?😂 So I think they just see me as some blurry silhouette of an older person and don’t even look at me like that.

There’s the occasional gal who’s into older men, but they’re not as common as us old men like to hope they are, lmfao. Then there aren’t really any women in their 30s and 40s there, period, let alone attractive ones, and then it’s just women who are too old for me.

So I’m at a sad point in life where the younger girls who are mostly still hot-by-accident don’t consider me, I rarely see women my age unless they’re out in full mom mode at the store with a shopping cart full of kids and presumably is married/taken and isn’t out checking dudes out, and then women who are older than I’m looking for, so I’m not looking to see if they’re looking.

I’m not even “looking” for anyone, I have a girlfriend, I’m just talking about positive female attention from randos😝 My girl gives me compliments all the time, but that’s only worth slightly more as an honest assessment as my mom telling me I’m handsome, lmfao.

Like when I was around 25, I would occasionally get cat-called, which is probably an annoyance for women, but due to the rarity, it’s like winning the Super Bowl for a guy, haha.

One time, there was a Jeep full of girls outside a pizza place I was walking out of, I made nonchalant eye contact with a couple of them for a split second, just in passing…. but when they pulled away, one of them yelled out “HOTTIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!” at me, and I’m still chasing that high 20 years later😂 Like THAT’S the level of attention I want🤣🤣🤣 Get that feeling liquified and into a bag, and get me on a forever IV-drip of it, lmao

But I don’t think that bus is coming again, no matter how long I wait. I think it’s just over, and there’s really nothing to prepare you for that change, especially when you don’t feel like YOU’VE really changed😭

It's a tough question because as parts of me are increasing, others are decreasing. So it's hard to come up with a hard number where all those metrics are/were optimal. Starting with physically, I'm in decline, was probably strongest/fastest around 25. Mentally, as in cognition and processing, similar. But there's another aspect of mental in regards to stability, more like emotional stability and ability to step away from myself for a more objective focus, and that's been increasing as I get older.

With those and a few other factors in mind, I'd say somewhere around 35.

I haven’t reached it yet, but so far 23 has been the best year, in terms of realising what I want to do with my life and working towards that, having my first baby and working through the ups & downs of new parenthood, becoming healthy (pregnancy & childbirth somehow cured the severe health issues I've had for the last 6 years?), and since having a child I’ve gained so much confidence and finally got a backbone. 23 has been great but I hope it only gets greater as I age.

Relaxed into myself 40+. I think my own mum was pretty self settled from an early age but she had to be she lost her parents while young. And it was a different world back then. Same but not. Can't compare myself to her though she was something special.

I feel like I'm hitting my prime around now, in my mid-30s. I've learned to embrace who I am, finding confidence in my style, and being at peace with myself. It's great to hear that you have a positive outlook on reaching your prime in the future! I think everyone hits their peak differently, and there's beauty in that uniqueness. 😊

People should be always learning and growing, and I believe once you feel you have reached your “prime” there is only one way to go and that is down.
