Who said longer? Women are extremely attractive to the opposite sex much earlier than men. The timeframe is nearly the same, just skewed to the right for men.

I can't point to a study, but if you sit back and aren't intellectually dishonest with yourself, its quite obvious.

He couldn't land some young hot girl so he had to settle for some middle aged, slightly overweight woman." BTW, this is the same internal dialogue many men have when considering whether to date a single mom or a woman who's overweight. "Oh no. People will laugh. They'll think I was desperate because I settled for a girl with a kid or a girl who's fat." Now I'm not saying all men are like this or that this is the only reason for why they refuse to date someone. But it is a big factor. You won't get many men to admit that though. They want to play it cool and let the world think they're not worried about their image. Whenever someone says they don't worry about what others think of them, it's all I can do not to laugh.


I agree! Excellent post.

Of course you can't point to a study because it doesn't exist. I have never heard of this stat that women are attracted much earlier than men. Exactly how am I being dishonest by stating that men look better longer is complete bs?

Still doesn't answer my question that I have never seen this study that women like men who are older because the older men look better than the older women. That's a study someone took out of their butt.

Uh women develop earlier than men. This is fact.

Secondly I think you know that attractive men in their later thirties have more options than attractive, or ex attractive women in their thirties do. I think your bitter about it. It reeks in your every post of bitterness

Even if I showed you a study you'd still sit here in denial.

We don't need a study for common sense.

I agree with you that women are attractive at a younger age and men peak a little older, but I think the 10 year gap is huge exaggeration. This poll agrees.

The study of 2,000 people across the United States found women were considered to have reached their peak at 30, start to show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking "sexy" at 53, and are "old" at 55.

Men looked their best at 34, start to show signs of ageing at 43, stop looking good at 58, and are "old" at 59.




Women at their 'most attractive' at 30, men at 34, survey says - Telegraph

Once again where are your sources for this "fact" that men have more options? Bitter (and btw it's you're bitter not your)? not at all, just tired of seeing this lie that men keep saying without sources.

Again, not longer. Later.

If you truly feel you can be honest with yourself about this, here's a thought experiment. At what age do you think the "average" man is most attractive? You don't have to answer here, but just think it to yourself. Pick a single number....it's an average, after all. None of this "it depends" business. Of course it varies from person to person. Come up with an average in your head.


Got it?


Now consider that it's higher than the number that I, or likely "most" men would pick as their number for the age that women are the most attractive. Sure, it's possible that it isn't. But it's very likely.

Grammar corrections are the sign of lacking a real argument, thank you though
