Recently noticed I get more attention now (early 40's) than I ever did in my 20's. Has anyone else found this? Maybe it's because I know now what works for Me (style wise) or maybe it's a confidence thing, now I'm older I feel a lot more carefree about my appearance than I ever did in my much younger years!

I’m not objectively better looking but I got far more male attention in my 40s and now 50s than I did in my 20s and 30s.

Its confidence. How you look is only a part of it. Much more important is confidence. Older women tend to be much more confident than younger ones and men love it.

Its one of the best kept secrets.

I recently went on a week long break with my friend. Both 50. It literally blew our mind how much male attention we received, including from guys much younger than us. I agree it's confidence and, also, being (or faking being) interesting to actually talk to. Also both happily married so nothing happened but it was a fun trip!

Yes in my 30s

I think for a lot of people who experience that, it's about confidence, learning what works for you and being secure in your style.

I think some people also grow into their looks. I'm a guy and I would say I was mildly unattractive in my 20's with a round, almost pudgy face. I'm late 30's now and I look the best I ever have. Confidence (and good skincare) have helped but my features have definitely benefitted from a bit of maturing. It all depends on your genetics and features and how they change as you age.
