Page 4 | Is 30 too old to be deemed conventionally attractive

No, no women in their nineties are conventionally attractive.

The oldest good looking person I can think of is James Brolin who is early 80s (?). He's still a handsome man.

Have you internalised some weird incel crap about women “hitting the wall” at 27 or so? Because it’s complete shit.

Ageing is great, it means you’re not dead.

I started to notice ageing from 26.

Show quote history

Well you'd been aging for 26 years at that point. Of course you looked older than when you were 6, or even older than when you were 20. 46 year old you will find this hilarious though because by any standards 26 has never looked anything other than young.
Never has the quote about youth being wasted on the young felt more apt.

It’s more how I feel about myself

I’m sorry you feel this way. Try not to. You’ve got a lot of your life left to live.
I’ve never in my life been deemed ‘conventionally attractive’ but I know I’m an attractive person in other ways. Age has nothing to do with it.

High fashion models tend to retire late 20s or early 30s. Perhaps that is why you think that conventional attractiveness ends at 30. Of course your face and your body are changing, but it doesn’t mean you stop being attractive.

I wouldn’t call Helen Mirren conventionally attractive at all @FurForksSake- I think she is a woman who has grown in to her unconventional looks! She’s always been sexy though , rather than pretty.
OP how can you ask such a question? I’m in my 60s and think I’m reasonably attractive, though I’d rather not ever be considered ‘conventional’.

Well I'm 57 and drop dead gorgeous.

So no.

And I'm 61 and I've still got it. I'm stunning and utterly fabulous.

Sagaciously · 09/10/2025 15:48

I saw Eva Longoria on the catwalk at Paris fashion week. She’s 50 and looks better than she’s ever looked.

What a depressing and frankly moronic post

I'm voting for moronic too🙄

Gosh the pressure. I think I'll just stick to knitting in my rocking chair and the occasional WI meeting.

PinkArt · 09/10/2025 15:46

Yes, the sight of disgusting old hags like Rihanna, Margot Robbie and Selena Gomez makes me do a bit of sick in my mouth. How embarrassing for them to be so far from conventional beauty now they're past it in their 30s.

My beauty is not comparable to conventionally attractiveness. When people say I'm stunning, it's because they are stunned by such a vision. Being past my 30th year has not diminished my my exquisiteness.

I’m similar. In fact, I transcend physical beauty. I’m more of an essence, a spirit, or an energy.

Is MN always full of twattish threads in the afternoon, or is it just today? I’m not normally here at this time.

Today has been an exceptionally good day for twattish threads in my opinion. Our work servers have been down and I've been thoroughly entertained.

I'm "only" 45 but I am really appreciating being able to walk around with noone trying to hassle me. Or if they do it's more likely to be for a donation than for my looks🤣

Show quote history

It’s great isn’t it? I see lots of really attractive younger women and the amount of unsolicited shit they probably have to put up with will be off the scale.

Yes they are. Many older women are conventionally attractive.

Show quote history

Yes, many older women are conventionally attractive.

No, no women in their nineties are conventionally attractive. Which 90 y.o. women are admired by for how conventionally physically attractive they are? Who are the 90 y.o. heart-throbs?

SalamiSammich · 09/10/2025 15:43

What do you value yourself for beyond your looks?

And I mean stuff that isn't for attracting men. I'm a good friend.

Objectively, men who value hotness over substance are losers and not men to date.

Rachel Weisz is 55 and probably one of the most beautiful women out there (at least in my opinion!)

Penelope Cruz (51), Jennifer Connelly (54), Julia Roberts (57), Jennifer Lopez (56 - WTF?!), Salma Hayek (59 - another WTF?!).

Wait til you get to your 50s, they make you wear a sack on your head and ring a bell while saying “unclean, unclean”

FurForksSake · 09/10/2025 15:41

I don’t think I’ve ever been called attractive, conventional or not. Which is good because I’m 42 and obviously now invisible and well past my sell by date. Lucky for me it means I never noticed the slow fade of my bloom, I never bloomed at all 😆

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 09/10/2025 15:41

Absolutely not!! I am 58 and was recently stopped by a (somewhat younger!) gentleman who told me I was stunning! 😁 I’ll take that! 😂

MyLimeGuide · 09/10/2025 15:40

Yes.

Round3HereWeGo · 09/10/2025 15:40

Wtf are you talking about? You clearly don't know what conventionally attractive means. It has fuck all to do with age.

This has gone to be one of the more moronic posts I've seen on here and that's saying something.
