To ask what age you think a woman can be the most attractive

[Moonunderriver]

I look at some mature women and think omg you are so glamorous, its as if once you reach your 40's you become somewhat invisible? is this true?

I find older women have much more character, self esteem etc. I am 33 by the way and I like how I look the older I am getting.

I think each woman is different. I know a couple of people who were stunning at 18 and now in their 40s have aged really badly.

However, some women need to grow into their looks. I think I reached my optimal age at 45. Now in my late 40s and I know I still look good but the wrinkles are starting to show. I have a couple of close friends who are the same.

I don't believe in the metaphorical cliff to fall off, if you look after yourself and age gracefully.

I'm extremely fit now at 35 with muscle definition. I have a great diet, I exercise a lot. When I was in my 20s I coasted on being good looking but had normal weight fluctuations etc. I feel I'm much more refined now. I have had veneers (not the cheesy big white ones) I have started taking real care of my appearance and skin and compared to my peers I look absolutely great. I would say I'm in the best shape now of my life too and I can really feel it. I'm confident with it. I feel my face has aged beautifully, the puppy fat of my 20s has sort of melted away and for the first time I have cheeky bones and look much more elegant than I ever did before.

I'm going to be honest though, mostly it isn't how attractive you are based level, it's 90 percent based on how much time and money you have. I spent a fair bit of money and many hours a week on my appearance. So far time hasn't been cruel and I'm quite enjoying aging. I will never be 20 again but I would rather be beautiful and athletic at 40 than unfit, self conscious and unhappy.

as much as I’m all for bigging yourself up, putting others down isn’t ok.

Physically I think I looked great at 30.
Before I started to put weight on my stomach, before my grey frizzy hairs came in, before my eyelids started drooping, before hairs started sprouting out of places they shouldn't. Before I had to have cancer surgeries which changed my appearance.

I'm happier with my confidence, budget and sense of style now in 40s though. If only I could merge the 2 !

I think competition between women or between yourself at different ages is really unhelpful. I look for the good in everyone's appearance and always find it, including in myself. Even though at 42 my appearance has being falling off a cliff for 7 years 😂

I'm not sure where all this stuff about men being silver foxes come from. The majority of men I see my age (54) are balding, paunchy and sallow skinned. They all look the bloody same. Whereas a lot of women my age still look fabulous 😍

Mid 20's.

I am 68 and don’t feel particularly attractive, but have lost around five stone in the last year, going from a size 22 to 12/14 depending on brand. People tell me I look so much better. I don’t like my looks, but do look better now than ten years ago, I dress better too and don’t work any more so am less tired. I also swim regularly. I think lots of women feel invisible after 50. My DH is always telling me how nice I look! Flattery gets you everywhere.

Oh please, I'm on an anonymous forum I can say anything I like. I'd be a bitch if I said it to their faces but given I haven't named anybody or said it to them, it's just a statement of fact. Everybody with eyes can see it anyway, it's not hidden.

Really? I’d say she is attractive of course but better looking in her 60’s than when she was 20 something?! i don’t agree

I understand people want to be polite but it’s ridiculous to suggest that everybody is equally attractive or that age has nothing to do with it.

Care should be take to separate sexually attractive , from physically attractive from a even broader definition of attractive

Someone can be sexually very attractive but have a poor personality that makes them unattractive

Someone can be lacking sexual attractiveness but still look fantastic , like someone you'd like to emulate

Someone can be old and apparently still sexually attractive ( boris )

Lesbian perspective here... I am in my mid twenties and have always found women in their thirties & fourties to be the most attractive. Women start getting attractive to me around 28 and it goes from there.

At any age, given that she's an adult, OP.
Very individual.🙂

She's a good looking woman but she's hardly more stunning than she used to be. There are just better filters.
She was stunning younger as in pic 1. Now she's looking somewhat jaded in my opinion. And sometimes a bit desperately trying to still be sexy. Older women can be very very sexy. But a woman trying to be sexy rarely is.

Physically I looked best early to mid 30s. Still young, lost the puppy fat in my face but still had bouncy taut skin. Hair was fab. Body was the best it had ever been.
Perimenopause knocked me sideways.

Personally I think my best spots were 38 when my youngest DC started school , 41 when I was made redundant and briefly had loads of lovely leisure time and 51 when all my DC became adults 🤣

Yep! They look far worse than women

I find it hard to tell. I am forty but look a lot younger. That isn't just me saying that, I have to always have ID on me if I am buying alcohol because I get carded about three times out of four. I feel more attractive now than I did in my mid twenties, and the amount of male attention I have has neither picked up nor dropped off. I personally think that most women look their best over thirty. The ones that looked their best in their twenties are fairly rare, and I feel the same way about men as well. The exception is very thin women. IMO women who are bone thin can get away with it in their twenties, but above late twenties it is very ageing. Kate Moss is a prime example: she was very striking early in her career but I wouldn't say she has aged at all well, despite all her money.

Really massively varies depending on their life and genes etc. I think most women who don't have children look best around age 30, for men though it's lower at about 25. If you have children then you'll usually look permanently somewhat tired by this time though no matter your sex.

I think 50s/60s seems to be the new 'in' age these days. There are so many stunning women in this age bracket - Salma Hayek, Sophia Vergara, Halle Berry, Monica Bellucci.... and Juilianne Moore in the recent Mary and George looked at least 20 years younger than her 64 years.

There's definitely a change in attitudes and about bloody time.

It's not an age thing but more the glow of someone looking after themselves mentally and physically - doing "the work", no alcohol, not smoking and not too much rubbish food - sometimes, and this is certainly true of me, I didn't bother to look after myself when I was younger but try a lot more now

It’ll vary

There’s a woman in her 50s on IG who I genuinely thinks looks better than in the younger pics. The hair and colouring suit her

In rl too it’ll be different for each individual

I'd say I looked my best in mid 20s through to 30s, but I didn't have the confidence I had say in my late 30s and 40s.

Actually for me feeling better and more confident I was more so in my late 20s as I was coming into my own more. Mid 20s, less confidence, enough but still not quite there.
