Phantom888 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Ladies: Let's pretend you can be any age you want to be right now. So your age is irrelevant in this equation. What age men do you find most attractive? Why?
xxoo Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Between the ages of 18 and 40, I have found men near my own age the most attractive (whatever that age currently is). 1
RedRobin Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Men close to my own age who prefer the same. 1
MrCastle Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I bet it changes every year depending on my age. So 25 now, 26 in a few months. 1
mesmerized Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Lookwise, men in their twenties to early thirties are the most attractive to me. Who knows if that changes in the future.
mesmerized Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Men in their mid to late 40s. Hopefully they are settled in their careers, have children, and are aware of they want and are capable of giving in a relationship. Any younger and they are still figuring it out. Older and their kids are probably grown or close to it. 40s men also seem to have a better understanding of what a woman wants sexually and make that a priority. they don't have the body that women want sexually though.
EasyHeart Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 This was the topic of many hours of drunken Happy Hour debates among a group of my very smart friends. The optimal age for women is 28. The optimal age for men is 35. yw!!!
hotpotato Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 30s, early 40s They are more settled, or at least should be.. 1
miss_jaclynrae Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 30-40 Perfect age. Not quite old, not quite young. 1
tbf Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 As a teen, early twenties men were most attractive. As an early twenties adult, late twenties to early thirties were most attractive. Wash, rinse and repeat per decade. It's all relative. 1
William Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 As a reminder to male posters here, this is a thread, and question, for the ladies. If you wish to have a similar discussion regarding women's age being attractive, feel free to start a thread right here in GRD on that topic. Thanks.
lionoftheforum Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 The data says the sweet spot is 32 - 36. Sounds about right. Assuming a man had goals and was successful at achieving those goals; a well adjusted man will still be young enough to look good and hold vitality (not too old), 10 years into a career track, a lot of life experience dealing with women (the learning curve), and a track record of proof. The 20 somethings might have more youthfulness, but that’s the only edge they have. Females are far more responsive to the high status cues of power and resourcefulness, which need time to develop. 1
kaylan Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Physically speaking, Id say its the 20s for men and women. Everyone is at their physical maturation, in their prime, and not showing signs of aging yet. Im a guy, but I base this on objectivity. Plus women tend to fawn over youthful hunks as much as men fawn over youthful vixens. Total packages I would guess to be the 30s. Still youthful but with life experience and maturity. People should have stable careers, know what they want in life and love, and have a firm grip on who they are as a person by then. So while I feel Ive had my physical peak as a man currently in his 20s, I definitely dont feel completely rounded out as a person yet.The data says the sweet spot is 32 - 36. Sounds about right.

Id say older women are more responsive to power and resourcefulness. My experience with women in their teens and 20s is that edginess and physical attractiveness work their own wonders for men.

FitChick Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Men of any age who are slim and fit are attractive. Eye candy. If they are not slim and fit, it doesn't matter how old they are. Yuck!
KathyM Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 It depends on the man. Some are more attractive in their 20s. Some later on in life. It really is an individual thing. One man can look better in his 20s than he will later on. Another man may be at his peak in attractiveness in his 40s. Really an individual thing. Same thing with women. Some women are at their peak in attractiveness in their 20s. Some in their 30s. A lot of it has to do with style also. Many people, both men and women, have a better sense of style later in life, so they know how to make the most of their appearance later in life than when they were young. 3

emva07 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Physically -20s. In general-30s John BonJovi- always. 1
MrTurk Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Funny that being 42....the voting seems to say I'm close to the most popular age for women...yet its been the worst experience in my life as far as dating. Women probably do like guys around my age.....but are extremely picky and superficial as to which particular guy they choose.
purplesoccer34 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Men in their early to mid 30s seem to be the best-looking to me. I feel that most guys start becoming more and more attractive after the age of like, 27. I'm 22, and I don't find too many guys my age all that attractive. Which is ironic though, cause so far I've only dated guys close to my age---I guess this means that once you get to know and like someone, they instantly become more attractive to you, haha. This depends a lot on the guy though. Everyone looks their best at different ages. Edited November 9, 2013 by purplesoccer34
cocorico Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Mid40s to mid50s, though I'll make an exception for David Tennant.
Emilia Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Late 20s. Not a boy anymore and he is in his physical prime. Yum.
MissBee Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Ladies: Let's pretend you can be any age you want to be right now. So your age is irrelevant in this equation. What age men do you find most attractive? Why? I don't think I've ever been attracted to a man because of his age. So it's hard for me to answer this without totally making up an answer. I have tended to date men older than I am, but all of them weren't a certain age, neither was it because of their age why I was attracted to them. When I was younger, ironically, I dated men who were 8 years and older than I was, but now, especially considering more serious relationships, I prefer someone 2-5 years older at most.
Nikki Sahagin Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 25-35. Men below 25 tend to not look physically mature and they often aren't mentally/emotionally mature! You meet a lot of 'lads' in there early 20's which is not attractive. Over 35 I think men start to look aged. I've never got the idea of older men becoming more attractive. Maybe when I am an older woman myself I will, but as a younger woman no.
