Will my value decrease significantly when I turn 25?

I turn 25 in a few weeks and im worried no guys will fancy me anymore.

I personally think my looks have improved over time. I would rather look how I look now than how I did at 18. I've learned how to do my hair and make up better, I have bigger boobs and a nicer bum. I get more attention from guys now as well.

I know a lot of my friends looked better a few years ago, some have lost their shape and started to get crows feet. In fact, one of the small joys of getting older is watching the popular girls from school go down hill.

I get most girls probably are more attractive when theyre a little younger, but is this always the case?

  • Average SMV (social market value) by age and sex
    Average SMV (social market value) by age and sex

    This is where the vast majority of people fall on the SMV graph by age (you're going to have a few exceptions at either extreme of the desirability curve, but 99% of people will roughly follow this graph).

    While you are now on the downslope, you are still very, VERY high on this graph at 24-25. That's the good news. The bad news is that a woman your age is dropping off quite quickly, which means that to get the best possible relationship outcome - ESPECIALLY if you want kids - you need to act quickly and you need to be dating with intention. If you want a husband - or even just a serious long-term boyfriend - NOW is when you're going to be able to attract the highest-caliber men. 5 years from now, the vast majority of those high-caliber men are going to be unavailable to you - that doesn't mean that you couldn't find a man after 30, it means that you almost certainly wouldn't be able to GET or KEEP the kind of man that you WANT. But for now, you can - you still have considerable market value; the kind those men are looking for.

    Having said that, your age and beauty aren't enough to get those men (it will get many men, but not the high-value ones) for a serious relationship/marriage - those men have thousands of options, and being around your age is only the initial qualifier. They still want a woman who is:

    • fit
    • friendly
    • feminine
    • cooperative
    • moral
    • peaceful


    But if you are those things too, then you have (at least theoretical) access to a good amount of high-value men. You still have to be able to meet those men and get to know them, so you'll need to take a more active role in meeting them, especially with time working against you. And you need to stay focused on your goal (again, ASSUMING that is marriage or at least long-term relationship), and make that clear to the men you meet, even if that means some will pass you by.

    5 years should be plenty of time to make something happen IF you focus on that outcome and actively work to make it happen.

    Some women simply ‘age well’, and a lucky few actually blossom and greatly improve (for a time, at least) as they get older.

    Most women, however, simply follow a predictable course of decline with advancing age.

    And the same is true of men.

    Sounds as though you’re in the lucky minority who can HOLD back, or even TURN back, the clock for awhile.

  • Not to worry. Take good care of yourself and you'll be fine.

  • Significantly? No.
    It does decrease, but very slowly, if you keep working on yourself. At 25 I was hotter than I was at 18.

  • No. As you age, your physical attractiveness goes down, it's true, but it's not an overnight thing; you don't magically cross some temporal barrier and suddenly become an old crone.

  • For me there are women that age just so beautiful it's unreal and I love that because it's the same time they get smarter wiser and More Beautiful on the inside and that's where it's all about that's where the real beauty comes in outside is just an extra bonus
    I can tell just by your words you have nothing to worry about.
    I would bet that you are very very beautiful on the inside and the outside and I don't think you're going to have any problems

  • Everyone is different and 25 is by no means a rule.

  • So u think u will turn 25 and a switch will flick and people will just see u as ugly

  • Nah not at all. 25 is still really young.

  • Remember, you're not getting older, you're getting better!

  • You can be sure no guys will "fancy' you if you keep using 'fancy' while in the US. Maybe the 'lads' in the UK will 'fancy' you when you turn 25. I'm sure they will 'fancy' your 'fanny' in the UK

  • Not until after 30.

  • No..

  • How much do you weigh?

  • Try not to worry about it, real beauty is more than skin deep.
    Everyone is different on how they age, some that have not been too kind to themselves over the years do not age well at all.
    I have seen some from my class that were knock outs when they were younger, look so much older than they are now.
    The years of smoking, drinking have not been kind to them.
    And there are some, like wine just keep getting better as the age.

  • I can already FEEL it sinking!!

  • Nah.
    You are making me feel scared

  • Significantly, depends on your definition. It will change things though. A lot of people have a maximum cutoff age of 25, for various good and bad reasons. It isn't just attractiveness, there is a lot of stygma put on that age especially for women. Totally unfair, but yes it's something to consider if you're not sure about putting much effort into finding a committed relationship before then.

  • There is a twitcher I followed is near 40yrs old and is looking beautiful. You dont have worry about guys stop fancy you over ages. Be yourself and do as what you normally do.

  • No- not significantly.

  • No, it won’t. There are many people still dating in their late 20s and 30s.

  • The truth is that your 'value' would decrease with mileage (body count), not chronological age.
