You're funny. Honestly - I doubt you could tell a difference in a 23 year old and a 28 year old. I'm not saying that 50 year old woman looks the same as a 22 year old - but I think it's funny when people talk about a woman's looks going down hill at 24. I didn't look much different until my mid 30's - and I'd say I looked my best around 31 or 32. But if it makes you feel better - then you can think whatever you want!
I'm about to turn 30 and I really, honestly think I look better now than I did at 20 or 21. At that age I was sick, way too thin and had the body of a really tall 12 year old boy. I may not be the prettiest thing walker, but there's no way I'd go back to my 20 year old self, regardless of what these 'men' say.
I've always been decent looking; however, perhaps never enough to stand out. Funny how often heads turn my direction now and I'm almost 40. Age levels out the playing field (even though I'm not playing it.) I see attractive women of all ages, that equally goes for men. People need to ditch their media scratched lens and learn to think for themselves.

If you ask most of the 40+ men on here who have dating and relationship experience, they will tell you that the women their age they are attracted to have something like a "glow" or a presence that is insanely more appealing than women half their age. And it has nothing to do with skin tone, body tone, wrinkles or boob size.
You don't understand Mikala. When they hit their 40s, they'll feel differently about women their own age (who are considerably past their sexual peak in terms of attractiveness.)

It's true that a woman can look better at 30 than at 21, but she would have to have been obese at 21 or extremely underweight. Or perhaps she had some serious skin conditions that cleared up by age 30.

What is this "different feeling" that men get in their 40s? Do tell!
Are you in your 40s?

Yes they do! The real world doesn't act like Hollywood.
are we reading the same thread? where is this coming from? quotations preferred, because i'm reading statements like this:
I just think it's funny when men assign an age to the end of a woman's prime. Especially when that age is 24!!! Just makes me chuckle.
I think it is definitely more acceptable for men to look older than it is for women to look older. Women are supposed to be beautiful - and wrinkles and grey hair are not part of what is considered beautiful for women. At least, that's how things are in the US. I watch foreign movies and the older women look like attractive older women instead of like some freaky 20/50 year old. As a society - we are not very nice to women who age gracefully. Unfortunately, more and more male celebrities are also having all sorts of work done. I think people look so much more attractive when they just age naturally. And all this crap about who ages better is basically just crap. When I'm 50 - I don't WANT to look like I'm 18. I'll be 50! I'll have raised two children (well, I'll still be raising them), I'll have been married for over 20 years, I'll have more wisdom (hopefully) and experience than I did at 24. I certainly don't want people to think I'm still 24. And I have a husband who thinks I'm super hot - I don't really need 20/30 year old men hitting on me to make me feel good about myself.
apologies for singling out JJ but from a parallel thread:

so here we have a woman who isn't even thirty seeing a twenty three year old man as a "kid". a mere six year age difference
this is incredibly rare among guys in their late twenties. they might say something like college girls aren't mature enough to date but that's completely different. the vast majority of men that age would not dismiss a twenty three year old woman as a kid too young to be attracted to. quite the opposite
the fact some jagoff PUAs post nonsense on the internet doesn't change the fact aging affects how men and women are viewed by the opposite gender differently, on average
i don't understand the staunch opposition to this notice among otherwise rational people
i'm likely to die younger than all y'all gals, if it makes you feel better about this

this at least partially agrees with the premise of the thread. albeit in a way that's rational and not inherently insulting to women (the "spoiled milk" analogy)

I've met plenty of women who were neither underweight or obese but look better entering their 30s. My facial structure is a bit more refined and while I may be heavier I do feel much happier at 29 than I did at 21. Of course, I think that's the main reason men go after super young women....they're naive and easier to manipulate. Older women will call you out on your BS and they don't like that.
