Looks only-- 18. Not because of simply being young, but I was in great physical shape, and had not yet had my children. A few body shape changes occurred due to maternity. I didn't gain weight, but my bosoms went from C to A/Bish, and I got some light stretch marking. Though I gained hips, so that is a nice trade-off. I had skinny boyish hips before then.
Most significantly though, sometime during or after pregnancy with my first kiddo, I developed a harmless, benign and very odd little tumor on my nose. I tried to have it removed, fearing skin cancer. They determined it was made of nerve sheath cells and this sort of thing is more common on the brain or vestibular nerves, and if it were there it could be dangerous, but where it was, not so much. I asked, so....you're saying I have a brain tumor? On my nose? Yeah. More or less. Well that is just fantastic. When it healed, from the removal procedure (which was awful) it came back precisely as before, and has not changed since. *sigh* People tell me they sort of get used to it and forget to notice it, and I am still called attractive, cute, and sometimes even beautiful, but when I look in the mirror...sometimes, it is all I can see.
So I think I peaked before it was there.
But compared to most 38 year old mothers of two that I know, I still think I look pretty good.
Peak attractiveness? My personality is much better now that it used to be. I've learned a lot about myself, and I am more positive and happy. I project a better energy than I used to. And I stopped trying to "act and dress my age" and "fit in" like I did for a while in my 20's, and have instead embraced my own preferences and quirks. I think that despite my nose, I am more "attractive" overall, now and every day, than ever.
