The data speaks for itself. I'm genuinely curious as to the social message behind the data.
Well, have you been swiping right on 18-year-olds like crazy since reading it?
The social message? This study reminds me of the Dewey Vs. Truman election prediction debacle when stats from telephone polls were used, back in a time when telephones were still found in mostly more well-to-do homes, where the residents tended to favor Dewey, who ended up not winning.
These scientists attempted to quantify something which, really, is not quantifiable. They forced a sample based on number of messages sent, while those of us who observe and participate in online dating know this is a flawed approach since many people have a shotgun approach to messaging, etc.
You can try to use this to promote your own warped theories here, but most of us see through that. Until you recognize yourself what you're doing wrong, you will still be sitting at your PC, sending messages and feeling frustrated.

A man is most desirable at 50. Even if this is true for a man, that means he is at HIS most desirable at 50. HIS most desirable may be a toad compared to a guy who's 35 and on his way to desirable peak-ity.
You do have critical thinking skills don't you? Put a roomful of 50 y.o. guys together. Are they all attractive? Hell no...are they the most attractive they'll ever INDIVIDUALLY be? Maybe.
Very nice synopsis. The fact that, among women, 18 year olds are most desirable and among men 50 year olds are most desirable presents a very revealing picture of what women desire in men and what men desire in women. This data allows us to extrapolate some very relevant insights into the male/female dynamic.
No, it illustrates that many men see you girls as easy, and that women in their 40s and 50s are more comfortable approaching men than when they were younger, and like a majority of people (marriage age difference state near this out), are looking within their basic age group.

Yup, in addition to a change in demographic numbers, which the analysis did not factor in.
The data is fine though. It is what it is. It's only the misapplication and misrepresentation of the data and some unfounded conclusions by the OP that I have an issue with.

I suppose this depends on what you're looking for. And for some reason, 50 year old men have something that women find attractive. What is it? That's what I genuinely want to know.

They have something that women around their age find attractive. I’m in my 30s and I’m not interested in dating a man in his 50s. I’m sure there are some nice, attractive men in their 50s, but I’m in no rush to start dating them. What for?
I read those initially, thanks, no, they didn't factor it in their "desirability" quotient by cohort. They did analyze the cohorts separately, but that is not what I was talking about at all.
