Why do most girls get less attractive after age 18?

[Trailblazer23]

ALmost all girls I know peaked in their beauty from 16-18, then fell off from there, lost their tightness, their skin started to sag, and lost the youthful "glow" that they once had.

Are these girls not taking care of themselves?

it doesn't make sense that a girl would age so much in such a short time.

Age 16

Age 20

She looks older and not as cute as before

[DamanMannn]

Yeah.. the make-up gets you, just a little eye liner /shadow there and there is absolutely like-able, but a full face covered with powder n all that other shiznits. NEH.

I'm not saying Men can control their emotions better or anything but those 3-5 days when Women have their "monthly "Red Ninja" " .

They're just can't control themselves ( maybe some can ) , there's barely any control on the faces they make and the emotions they feel which in my opinion affects how they treat their bodies regarding diets and facial expression that produces wrinkles over-time.

[TadCurious]

I don't agree with you on this at all. In fact, for some girls it's the complete opposite of what you're saying. I think women stay beautiful even as they get older.

[Trailblazer23]

give me an example?

[TadCurious]

Sandra Bullock

[Rcjh1987]

she's gorgeous. .. so is Jennifer Aniston

[been_waiting]

Sandra Bullock is a beautiful lady.

Also a good example: Jeniffer Lopez!!

[Thrifty]

Jennifer Lopez? Ew

[bunnyy]

It's all about makeup I'm 19 (oh so terrible old according to you) but I look 9 without makeup.

with makeup I look more my age.

guys are getting more and more picky I mean that girl you posted looks like a Barbie seriously.

[M_A_X]

You're looking at it the wrong way. This isn't about what this guy finds attractive. He's trying to understand why the woman looks differently to him after 4 years, and it's because all of her youthful optimism was basically destroyed.

[Trailblazer23]

you look young good genes. nice.

[bunnyy]

@M_A_X I'm literally struggling with depression and dead inside and feel like I have no future and asker didn't notice haha It's because she has heavier makeup and she isn't making here eyes as wide as in the first shot. You can fake the look of optimism.

[M_A_X]

Well, you're a cute girl, I don't see what you'd be upset about?

I can't fake looks at all lol

[bunnyy]

Just how people obsess over young looking girls and that the phrases "barely legal" and "jailbait" it's creepy, leave high school girls alone! haha
It's kind of like girls being young a and naive has become like a fetish.

[nemer26]

She barely looks different except maybe heavier eye make-up. Either way she's pretty. You're gonna be like Wooderson from "Dazed & Confused". Maybe the girls/women you know are still growing into their features. There are some beautiful women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

[Mustachekitteh]

I'm 23 years old and like last month When I ordered an alcoholic drink. Not the same waitress that checked my ID but another one. She ran up to me and acted so confused about my age and was freaking out thinking I looked 13-14 years old. -_-

[Trailblazer23]

nice, you have good genes

[Mustachekitteh]

i think it also has to deal with i'm very short as in 5ft so my feet never touch the floor when i'm sitting at a table lol

[AleDeEurope]

It's actually the opposite, especially because they stop having pimples and weird shit in the face (just like men), so their skin is smoother. Also all their attributes (facial and body) are more refined and perfected.
So actually, girls look more attractive after 18... well, most of them, there's always the special case.

[M_A_X]

Life happened. Every time people have to frown, their faces adjust to that more and more. After high school, some real shit goes down, so people change

The people who told you not to make a face all the time because it would freeze that way, weren't completely lying

[been_waiting]

That's not true. Women don't start sagging at 18.. that's ridiculous. There's *some* girls who looked 23 at 16, and by the time they're 20, they look almost 30.. but that's just some girls.

[been_waiting]

Maybe you like girls not women.

[M_A_X]

It's mostly because younger girls have "nicer" looking faces... and that's usually because they haven't experienced any real life shit. Older women have had to say "no" more, and have done things that change their attitude and perception. He just obviously prefers the more innocent, cute looking girls over the older, more sexually confident women.

I honestly prefer a cute look over a sexy look myself, if only because I feel like sexy is just them trying too hard

[been_waiting]

@M_A_X I'm always described as cute and I look innocent. But I've experienced a lot of hardships. Your life experiences don't change your face. some people might make different expressions as they get older, but that only does so much.

[M_A_X]

It honestly has more of an affect than you might think. You're still only 18, so your face has only had so much experience, give it time.

[been_waiting]

@M_A_X yeah give it ten years, by then my "cuteness" will just be going-on-thirty-and-mediocre-looking :p

[M_A_X]

Well I didn't mean it like that :P

[been_waiting]

@M_A_X lol my point is that maybe you're mistaking just plain ol' age for the face changing due to adversity

[Chick180]

That's not even true. Most girls become prettier as they get older... Till a certain point obviously.

[Trailblazer23]

not from what I have seen. Men become more handsome generally until age 28 or so, but girls usually top out at age 18.

Can an 18F and 28M date? Yes, but people will not like it.

I myself don't feel guilty by finding 16yo girls incredibly hot.

[Chick180]

Well it surely wasn't like that for me. I wasn't even remotely cute as a teen.

[Chick180]

I should say as a younger teen. I'm still a teen now.

[abundantlyrich]

Are you talking about white girls? Are you more pretty than them?

Well youngsters these day, smoke pot, drink too much and have a bad diet.. Oh yeah too much sun too?

[Trailblazer23]

where I live it is almost all white girls so yeah mainly white. I am not pretty I am charming and handsome.

[abundantlyrich]

It must be the make up, over exposure to sun and bad diet.

[Izzex3]

Maybe she's "cute" because she was a child and at 20 she's an adult.
You probably just personally fancy young teenagers.

[Trailblazer23]

thats creepy no I like late teens 16-19

[Izzex3]

Okay, lol.
I mean.. She clearly looks like at kid at the 16 picture.
**Young teen

[Trailblazer23]

She looks cute and innocent, probably only wants to have fun and doesn't care about how much money is in my wallet. Just my Type. The type of girl who I could make out with at the back row of the movie theater and she would be happy with just that, no fancy jewelry, no down payment on a house, not a care in the world about my college degree. She would just love to get love and attention from me. That is beautiful and blissful all at once.

That is why I like younger girls.

[Izzex3]

Alright. it's kind of funny though how you get all that just from a picture.
If she's cute and innocent, probably only wants to have fun and doesn't care about how much money is in your wallet at 16, what makes you think she changed at 20?
Anyways, you don't have to explain yourself to me.
You asked why "most" girls get less attractive after the age 18 and I was just letting you know that it 's probably just your preference for young girls.

[koko124]

It's because people are aging faster these days.

I'm not sure if the pics you posted is a good example. But a lot of people go through intense amounts of stress in the years from 18 - 20something, and it makes them prematurely aged.

There are also many biological stressors in our environment that didn't used to be there, which do the same thing.

[cavmanier]

I think your example is pointing out a shadow over the face can change skin tone. The second pic had more light over her face.

[Trailblazer23]

No her face is chubbier. Also her legs are not well toned and her ankles look kind of thick.

Still a 9.5/10 though, she was just 9.99/10 in the first pic.

[cavmanier]

Are you comparing her ankles and legs to the first pic? 4 years doesn't mean a person isn't toned or will gain weight obviously.

[Anonymous]

before you judge a girls beauty especially age.. make sure you are perfect too! the girl is absolutely gorgeous

[Trailblazer23]

sure but she looked better at 16. If I date a girl that age I will get scolded at by society, I am frustrated because I know I can easily hook up with a younger girl at my age but society will hate me.

[Opinion Owner]

she also looks like a little kid at 16

[CHARismatic110]

You act like she turned into a gargoyle. She was pretty at 16 and she loos more mature, but just as pretty at 20.

[linkywinky]

So not true. I've only gotten more attractive after turning 18.

[Taywallee16]

She was a young, cute girl at 16 and now she's a gorgeous woman at 20.

[BumbleDeev]

Because they're older and they don't have big eyes and baby face anymore

[Thrifty]

Younger she looks cute, older she looks gorgeous

[M_A_X]

He obviously prefers cute over sexy. I can agree with how he feels to some extent. Younger girls have "nicer" looking faces because they've never got down and dirty on the D and went wild, after they've done that and developed a ton of sexual confidence, they stop emphasizing looking cute, and start focusing on looking sexy, which I personally just don't care for.

[Trailblazer23]

@M_A_X fuckin this.

[MindYourEyes]

Maybe you just like baby teens.

[Anonymous]

Men don't exactly age fantastically either...

[Trailblazer23]

I am more attractive now at 22 than I ever was before. I get 16-17 year olds at the mall eyeballing me all the time. That never happened when I was their age.

[Opinion Owner]

And likewise for a million women to? Just this site alone is proof of that. Doesn't mean men in general age nicely. Or women. Older guys in general get more attention from school girls, just because they're older nothing more. I mean I had some very ugly cousins and friends who all my school girl friends loved and I couldn't see any other reason than because they're the "cool" older guy.

[TheSpartan]

Eh... pretty much every study on the subject has come up with the exact opposite conclusion. Men's sexual capital doesn't drop until after 40-50 or so.

[Opinion Owner]

So every single woman at my salon, college, work, friendship groups and family, when we talk about how ugly men get as they get older, especially closer to ages you mention... after 30 it's already very bad... we all must be imagining it. a lot of the studies were probably by older men or something. Not man whose 30 looks as good as 21 even.

[Opinion Owner]

No*...

[AllWomenLie]

Well actually they do well then again depends on genes.

[Trailblazer23]

Why are all the people magazine sexiest man alive winners in their 30s-40s for the most part then?

All these hot guys you see in the movies, Brad Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Ian Somerhalder, Jensen Ackles, Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling, Chris Pratt.

All over 30. I don't see any 20 year old kid getting lauded as "sexiest man".

[Opinion Owner]

Yea some people can look 15 when they're 21 or 18 when they're 29 and stuff, but those are exceptions to the rule, that's why they get judged as younger and nobody will guess their age... because they didn't age like the average person. I met a guy who was 54 who genuinely looked around 35, i was so shocked i literally took him over to my friends and made them all guess his age lol. He literally had zero wrinkles and no greys.

[Opinion Owner]

Media doesn't say what we like always. Otherwise, all guys would only want stick thin women and curvy women would be ugly.

[M_A_X]

I have aspergers, so I age fantastically. My face will still be very childish looking even when I'm an old man. If my 68 year old father is any indication, I'm going to get a lot of girls flirting with me later in life :P

[Opinion Owner]

Wait... people with aspergers age better? Omg. Why? Haha your dad must feel like a mack daddy lol.
I look young to, people genuinely believe I'm 13 sometimes but go up to 19. I hope it stays till I'm very old lol.

[M_A_X]

People with aspergers have eternally young looking faces. You can tell from the picture of my dad here, how much of my blood is native American, but I'm still really pale compared to him because I just don't get enough sun lol

He's about 58 in the picture

fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/.../...602208_n.jpg

[Trailblazer23]

@M_A_X

Hate to break it to you but he looks about 80 in that picture

[Opinion Owner]

He doesn't look 80

[M_A_X]

Really? Do you have a lot of 60 year old native americans to compare to?

[M_A_X]

He's a heavy smoker and has worked his whole life lol Give the man some credit. I think he looks amazing for his age and race, and ladies seem to as well, because he can charm them as young as 20's

[Opinion Owner]

He actually looks like a charmer lol can see the twinkle in his eye almost lol

[M_A_X]

Here's a more flattering picture of him at 62. I should have used this one in the first place because he's smiling lol

fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/.../...451246_n.jpg

[Opinion Owner]

Haha and showing off for the ladies

[AllWomenLie]

Are you on crack? She looks hot.

[Anonymous]

people age obviously and their faces mature

[xPoison]

She looks the same...

[M_A_X]

Not really, all of her optimism has been zapped right out of her because she found out what the world is really like, is all lol

[xPoison]

@M_A_X lol funny guy.

[atomique]

True for a few but complete rubbish for others

[Mckymuse]

... HUH?
