Do you believe women get better looking as they get older?

Question

I personally do, I also love the thought they know so much more about their bodies

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

I'm speaking from personal experience here, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt-

Some women DO look and age better the older they get. Some, not all. It depends on various factors such as: genetics, their health, and how well they take care of their body.
Meaning if you treat it like crap in your teens and 20s, eventually it's going to catch up to you as you get older. By the way, that goes for men as well, not just women. But since women are the subject of this question, I won't go there.

Now several people on here have said women look better when they're younger, specifically in their 20s. That's not necessarily true. I'll use myself as an example-
I looked a hot mess in my early to mid 20s: overweight, dressed like a wrinkled, sloppy mess, my hair was unmanageable: most times I wound up just wearing it in a ponytail or sticking a cap on my head, and I had terrible skin (acne and oily complexion).

Now add my low self esteem to that.
Ask me how many guys thought I was attractive or asked me out during my 20s... yeah, if you guessed any number less than 3-5, you would be correct, lol

Fast forward to my late 20, early 30s: I learned to take better care of myself and my body, I ate healthier foods, lost weight, my skin cleared up. I dressed better and feel better about my appearance- well moreso than I did in my 20s.
Practically everyone that knew me in my 20s said that they don't even recognize me because I look WAY better now than when I was younger! Yes, really.

Mind you, I'm probably one of the exceptions to that. But I realized that as you get older, you need to take better care of yourself and your body to avoid complications later in life, and live longer. Not to mention, I feel so much better and happier now than I did when I was younger!

In other words, some women DO look better as they age, depending on how well they take care of themselves.

It depends what you find beautiful, as we're all different. Typically most men are attracted to the younger women, but have more respect for the older women. For me personally, I am a much stronger person that I was when I was younger, which to me might be the reason why some people think of experience and knowledge as an attractive trait. We've been there/done that and not much really gets to us anymore.

If I was at a nightclub sitting at the bar, and a gorgeous younger woman was near by, frantic over her the fact her fake eyelash fell off, and I'm sitting like a cool cat, just enjoying my drink, watching her unravel over it, sure you might think she was more attractive initially, but her juvenile tendencies might be a turn off. You might at first overlook someone like me, but appreciate an older woman's ability to not give a fuck about superficial crap.

I could be wrong, but it seems like some men just like what they like, and even if it often comes with some negative traits, they still pursue the same type of woman all the time. They're like riding the bumper cars at the fair. They just keep driving two feet and *bump*.. drive another two feet *bump*.. and just keep doing it over and over because it's the ride they knew that they got themselves in for.

Not all women, however, It's not only about looks what makes men attracted to women, her demeanor and personality are important as well. Older women are more elegant, they behave more like a lady (not all women of course), and they have more life experiences. Also, older women are more mature, they don't act like whores (some women do). Life experiences is a real learning lesson to be more empathetic towards other people.

It's basically about your life experiences, your behavior (being a lady and feminine and not acting like a slut), and your personality what makes a woman very attractive.

Looks are used to attract men, but personality is for making a connection with a man and make them fall in love with you.

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

It always depends on the person, however I will say that most women do generally look better when they're younger. I know it will sound pedophile-ish of me due to today's societal norms, but women tend to look best around 18-24. But that's because I prefer slim proportions and girls tend to have that body shape around that, then they start gaining weight because metabolism slows and a lot don't workout. There are few woman that get better with age because they were a mess and didn't know how to take care of themselves when they were younger, however there's always a cutoff age where things only start getting worse. That age differs from person to person.

psychoticanimallover · Answer

Depends on who you’re asking. Generally speaking, as sexual attraction goes, heterosexual men find women most attractive between the ages of 18 and 29. I don’t know the stats for lesbians. Personally, the older I get, the more younger people start to look like children to me (both female and male) but generally younger people have objectively better bodies and faces, less wrinkles, tighter skin, firmer, more pert breasts etc. So no, to answer your question. But that doesn’t mean a specific “older” woman can’t be more attractive than one particular “younger” woman. Of course that’s true. Just generally speaking...

AlienParasite · Answer

I don't know what age do you have in mind. Usually the conventianl attractive ages are between 18 and 40. Attraction to adults in those ages is teleiophilia and is very common. Mesophilia is between 40-60 and Gerontophilia 60+, and are rarer.

I'd say normally people tend to adapt their taste to their age? Or at least I do. When I was a kid I'd like kids my age, and when a teen I'd like teens like me. Now as a young adult I fin attractive young adults around my age 18-30. I'm sure when I'm 50 I'll find appeal in men around 50.

cth96190 · Answer

No, they do not.
The biological fact is that a female’s sexual desirability peaks about age 22, then begins a slow decline.
Why?
It is all about reproduction. Were it not for that, men and women would throw rocks at each other.
A woman’s beauty is an outward display of her genetic fitness and fertility. Her beauty is intended to attract male mates.
Her decline in fertility is reflected on the outside by signs of aging.
Therefore, in the eyes of men, she is less desirable as a mate.
Women should devote their 20s to securing the best possible mate, instead of creating student debt to get a useless degree.
By age 35, her fertility will fall off a cliff.
Men who have options, will (as a matter of hard wired reproductive instinct) will pass her by to seek younger (more fertile) women.

JoeSchmoeCool · Answer

Speaking in broad strokes, no, and that's based on human psychology. Their attractiveness is usually tied to youth as youth is correlated to fertility, which diminishes as they get older. That's why they're an overwhelming emphasis on their cosmetics to look younger.

With guys, it seems the older they get, to a certain extent, the more attractive they become bc chances are they are more financially situated, etc, which is where a man's attractiveness lies in part, in the ability to be a provider. Explains why very average or below average looking guys can get with hot girls. For guys' cosmetics, you can see commercials advertising a touch of grey.

Browneye57 · Answer

No. By thirty they are no longer sweet 20 year olds. By forty they are starting to sag and wrinkle. Youth and beauty is sought after the world around, by all ages and genders.

A woman's peak SMV is 22-24 years old. A man's is about 34-36. His financial success and maturity also comes into play.

Honestly, nothing is going to compare to younger ladies for raw looks. It's pure biology. But there's no reason older people have to look bad. It's just that they fail to take care of themselves, put on weight, don't manage their stress, don't sleep enough, and eat pure shit. They just give up on themselves.

TruthBringer · Answer

No I don't. And they rarely do. My mom in her 60s doesn't look the same as when she was in her 40s and no where near as she looked in her 20s. Same goes for my grandmothers. Same goes for the majority of women. There is something we red pillers call "the wall". And it's very accurate in describing a female's decline in beauty when she exists her prime years.

Mystic_Nova · Answer

Depends on the person. Men dont always age better then women, which a lot will bombard this post with.

Typically, slot of people dont get better as they age. However, some individuals got good Gene's and diets as lifestyles, or flat out guy their good looks with age.

So it really depends.

JDavid25 · Answer

I say women usually look the best on they 20s.. Some retain their looks and still good good despite age, and some do start to look better when they get older because they start to take care of themselves more.. And this is comin from a guy who finds older women kina sexy..

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Every person is unique and peaks in their physical attractiveness at a different age. It's also notable that each unique person sees attractiveness differently and finds different age groups attractive than others.

That being said, I believe females generally peak in attractiveness around 17-18 and men around 24-25. Just my preference though.

rjroy3 · Answer

Most girls who don't try much look best in their 20s and taper in their 30s. Most girls who try in my opinion get hotter in their 30s, then taper in their 40s. Some genetic anomalies are hot through their 40s and 50s.

Dated a few women in the 35-42 range who were just straight up sexy. Said bye to one a couple days ago actually 😭

supercutebutt · Answer

LOL. No! I just keep getting hotter and HOTTER!

DeeToPlay · Answer

Maybe they become more attractive mentally but get real the human body as it gets older begins to have a more difficult time maintaining the attributes that are more commonly considered as visually appealing. I'm 54 years old and I know as a fact that I have to dedicate far more many hours to maintain any kind of semblance of attraction and because I tend to be attracted to much younger women my struggle is even more urgent. IJS

guesswhoseback · Answer

I know I don’t look as good as I did at 24. I’ve kept myself in shape (still got visible abs) and I got a full head of hair. But still I’m a realist that I’m not as baby faced, cute and athletically shredded as I was at 24. I’m not delusional.

With that said most women aren’t Jennifer Anniston’s. Sorry. But no most women don’t look better as they age. They gain weight, wrinkles and their breasts sag. It sucks but it’s reality. Yes that sounds “mean” but it’s just as the ugly truth.

DC_Underground · Answer

If girls in their teens and 20s and 30s spent bathing in the sun, using sun tanning beds, drank alcohol like crazy, use weird stuff on their face, lack of drinking water and etc... really this goes for anyone but yea it can make you age faster. I’m never a big fan bathing in the sun at the beach... wayyy too much sun exposure.

wittymilf · Answer

I look way way way better now than 20 years ago 😂😂 but don’t ask me this question in 10 years from now 😳😳😭

Dweezil · Answer

At some point in time a person's looks begin to fade.

This applies to men and women.

As to sex, practice is required to learn about your own body and your partners. Two horny high school kids might thick sex at that age is the best. In my case I just wanted to orgasm as quickly and as often as I could.

The more experience a person has the better the sex is.

hahahmm · Answer

A woman's character/personality and genetics are all factors. With the wrong mix she will age like milk in the summer sun. With the right mix she'll age like wine. The right mix is rare. Well, in some social circles it's common but in most it's rare.

WesBrewer · Answer

No, some don't get uglier, but I would say that they definitely don't get better as they age, besides the first 18 years of most girls lives, first 18 you can be ugly but get good looking in your 20s but that's about it.

Thanks for telling me I look attractive  I look like my grandma ❤️

mistixs · Answer

I am personally most attracted to women who look like they're in their 30s or 40s. (Emphasis on "look like" because I had a crush on a woman in her 60s who looked like she was in her 40s.)

Gripper1970 · Answer

I do, they become more mature and that is a big turn on for me since I am not into playing all of those games. When I meet a woman, and I am interested in her, I do not like the run around part of it. Maybe I am interested in you, maybe I want to look around more, or what can I get out of this relationship.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

No way haha that's actually the thing that sucks about being a woman. Guys look better and better as they age (if they take care of themselves) but girls look worse and worse

navyrobin · Answer

Depends on what you’re into.

All people who say no are just sheep going by the beauty standards that are set for society. It really depends on what you find beautiful, not what society has planted in your brain.

Sweetheart666 · Answer

Between the two I see way more pretty old ladies than handsome old men. But on the other hand, I think people can be attractive at any age as long as they take really good care
of themselves and have a good attitude about life.

Variety_3-14 · Answer

“Better looking” depends on the woman and how she takes care of herself. But from what I’ve seen, plenty can still look sexy well into their 50s

walt0462 · Answer

It depends on the woman, their Ethnic Heritage and their diet... will have a major impact on how well they age... JS... but if you're truly in love with that woman she will probably always be the most beautiful woman to you

Anonymous · Answer

Anyone who believes this is deluding themselves. No. They don't.

Women peak between 18 and 25. Then hit the wall around 27-30.
Girls, use your looks while you still have them. You are not gonna attract a 6' tall, fit, charismatic CEO when you're 35. Marry him when you're 25. And be a good wife, since he's gonna be in way higher sexual demand than you will be once you hit 30.

moonlikefire · Answer

Depends if you take care of yourself. I’ve seen plenty of older women still look amazing. But you have to take care of yourself and put in effort.

Most women do as long as they take care of themselves, the only women I see usually not age nicely are those who let themselves go without trying.

Not at all. Shelf life of about 20 years. 19-40. However, monogamous relationships throw that physical, lustful and purely aesthetic desire out the window. Pair up people!

Not really... I don't think anyone gets better looking as they get older. Hell, most of us are just lucky not to get fat, get gray hairs, or go bald as we get older.

People's ideas of beauty very. It also depends on genes, the environment, how much a person exercises/workingouts and what they do, what they put in their (how much and the combination), what they put on their body (how much, the combination).
