Do men have a longer shelf life than women?

[Tamingstrange]

It seems to me that when it comes to women, their prime seems to be in their teens and 20s, As that is when they’re at their most physically attractive. With most of them, once they hit their 30s, they are no longer desirable. With men however, their prime seems to be anywhere from their 20s 30s and even 40s.

When men start to get some gray hair, fine lines and crows feet, it makes them look more mature and distinguished. When women get these things they simply look old.

I understand that it varies. There are some men that looked great in their teens and 20s, but look really bad in their 30s and 40s. Men who weren’t all that attractive and fit when they were young, but became much more fit and good looking later in their life. Women who looked very attractive when they were young, but put on weight lost their looks later on, ect.

But to me the general conscious seems to be that men age like wine, whereas woman age like milk.

I this was once true but not anymore. Women in general want men close to their age. It's not a strong preference, but women have so much sexual power in the West that all their slightest preferences get met. Which means that if you are targeting women younger than yourself then you are going to struggle.

Try telling that to Melania Trump.
Try telling that to cougars everywhere.

Attraction is subjective, and beauty is not defined by age or gender.
