99,9% of the people look better at 30 than at 16!!!
I see girls that are in college (and guys, for that matter) and they just look so young...like little kids. It actually grosses me out when guys talk about wanting to 'bang' 18 year olds because most of them look like they're 15! I look at guy in college (I'm nearing 30 years old now) and I just can't imagine dating them...they're babies! I mean, my brother is 20 and there is NO WAY I would go near anyone his age!

I know, they have child features still!!

How can a 20 year old can be considered better looking than a 30 year old is beyond my comprehension

Its obvious the peak of beauty is in people 30s

It's even more gross when guys my age say that and I have a 20 year old daughter! I don't think most people look like adults until at least age 22 or 23.

Bare minimum... A lot of girls may 'fake' being an adult (fake padded bras, lots of makeup etc.) but if you actually look at them they've still got baby-like facial features.

I don't think I looked like an 'adult' until I was 25 or so and the only reason I got away with being an adult before that is because I'm so damn tall

Everyone's at their most beautiful at around 0-12 months of age. After that it's a slow downhill slide.

No, but at 0-12 months old, you are what you were meant to be naturaly. Before all the social brainwashing and all the inhibitions made you into someone who cant even tell twhat they are attracted to, because it is socially unacceptable. Sort of like millions of men who say they would never be attracted to 18 year olds, but have no problem going home 15 minutes later and seeking out porn with 18 yo girls so they can masturbate to them.

I think different ages for different things. Late teens and early 20's for youthful physical beauty. Mid- to late-30's for individual character to come to the fore, along with physical attraction. Later, it becomes more about the exceptional people who manage to look good in later years, combined with confidence, experience, and mature character that lends respect and grace. Beyond that, I often think beauty is captured in the eyes, and character in a weathered face.

From a guys perspective...
(age 29)
*This is all personal opinion

For the women: It really depends on a variety of factors including personal preferance, age, how one dresses and takes care of herself. I do think that women 18-30 tend to be in their prime. Women who get knocked up, two days after graduating high school usually look like crap by 21. Career oriented women, who are fairly active, tend to be hit or miss. Some were never really that attractive to begin with, some tend to keep their youthful looks well into their 30's. Beautiful, fair skinned blondes tend to lose their youthful looks a good 3-5 years sooner than women with slightly darker hair and skin tones. Women who have tanned religously since their teens are one and done by age 28.

For the men: It depends alot on ethnic background, genetics, and level of physical activity. The men who have acculumated a handsome beer belly (not just a stomach bulge) tend to be one and done by age 32, often much earlier. Men who have taken somewhat decent care of themselves, can age gracefully well into their 40's. I think men who tend to dress well, look better than those who go out dressed like 16 year old kids. Men of mediterranean origin (darker whites) tend to age a bit better than other caucasian men.

*Again this is just my opinion

I agree with you...just depends on a lot of factors like genes and other external factors..I think darker skinned people age slower than lighter skin also, from what I have noticed..
