Do you believe in aging peak?

Question

And if so has the peak changed? I know this might sound messed up but according to society there's aging peak, I've heard more for women and I assume that's cause that's what I'm interested in but either ways if it exists for one gender I'm sure it exists for the other as well but that's besides the point, is this a thing cause if it Is, it must have changed cause it was said a woman's peak starts at 30 but that doesn't explain how there's too many attractive older women for that peak shit to be true, so what's the facts here?

I’d say my input on this would be that I was watching some older movies on a new TV a few years back…. quick side note: it was my first 4K TV, and I found out that (I think I have the details straight, but something like this) anything shot on 35mm film has up to 8k capacity, it’s just that we haven’t had the technology to unlock it. So I’m watching Raiders Of The Lost Ark from 1982, and I can for the first time see hieroglyphics on the blocks of the wall of the snake pit Indiana Jones gets thrown into…. and I can even see that the blocks are made of cheap material, probably styrofoam, lmao.

So where I’m going with that is that I was watching this older films with my girlfriend and we were looking up how old these famous actors were at the time, because we knew them as adults when we were kids, and now we can look back and be like “holy fuck, that guy was YOUNGER than I am now! He seemed so old to me back then…. and he still does🤔”

We watched Scrooged with Bill Murray, probably like 1988, Murray in his mid-30s probably. Receding hairline that he’s just letting rock with his long-ish 1980s hairstyle. We were just noticing other imperfections, crooked teeth, bags under his eyes, etc, and looking at other actors too.

I think we came to the conclusion that people DID kind of age sooner. People I play hockey with are always shocked I’m in my 40s, they usually guess me about ten years younger. THOSE guys, who look like regular 30s guys…. they’ve more just kind of let themselves go a bit, doing the dad life, the hockey is their once or twice weekly exercise…. and even they look so much younger than how I perceive these 30-somethings of yesteryear.

It’s gotta be an effort an image thing, largely. Just the way men handle hair loss nowadays goes a LONG way. Like the hair-on-the-sides-and-back-but-bald-on-top look ages the hell out of a guy. We’ve abandoned that look (I saw it all the time when I was a kid), in favor of the shaved head, probably thanks to Michael Jordan.

I actually just had a thought, and then I’ll shut up, lmao. So…. balding old guy from back in the day has been replaced by shaved head/beard/hardo sunglasses guy who most likely wants to project an image of badassery, not middle-aged middle manager. I think when you strike that portion of the population out alone, that de-ages society on the whole significantly.

Over and out, sorry for rambling😂

Physically I'm way past my peak. My looks are way past my peak. My memory and cognitive ability are past my peak.

But when it comes to learning and understanding things, I haven't gotten there yet. I don't know if I ever will.

As you get older, everyone around you gets older - the young, the old and the in-between - they all get older with you. If a log is floating down a river, to the shore it is moving, but to the river it is staying still.

It's a common conversation topic nowadays, since the gender war has never been so intense. To be brutally honest right now, men only throw around the whole 'women lose their value after 29' to make themselves feel good. Because it's nice to tell yourself that in 20 years, your looks will stay great while that bitch who dumped you will become a bag of bones.

But, here's the reality. No one is immune to wrinkles. Yes, it's hard to find a woman who looks better at age 40 than 20, but men are often the same. I mean, take a look at Prince William (age 41) and try to tell me men get off scot free in the aging process 💀

There are many women who keep their looks, due to good genes, make-up, or life choices. It's juvenile and silly to say that all women hit a peak, that mentality is the result of incels wanting to put women down for their biological clock. Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 👍

No absolutely not. In my family , no one looks old tbh 😭 or I can say they look less than their real age.
I mean my mom is 41 but she is still young lmao face vise and body vise and everyone thinks she is in college and she is my elder sis. Almost everyone said that, your elder sis is so beautiful 😂😂😭Even my male friends said that too💀😂😂and I said she is mom , and I don't have sis, so everyone got shocked. lmaoo Same with my dad. He don't look old , he is actually 45 but don't look 45. So maybe it depends upon genetics. My grandma and grandpa is 90 and 92 but they are so fit and their hairs are good 😃no baldness. Lmao

Oh, the age-old question of the "aging peak," right? It's like trying to find a one-size-fits-all answer in a world full of unique sizes. Society used to have pretty rigid ideas about when women "peaked," often linking it to physical appearance and, let's not forget, the outdated concept of marrying age. But, oh my, how things have changed!

Today, the idea of an aging peak feels more and more like a myth. With self-care, health awareness, and a little bit of fashion and beauty magic, women (and men!) are redefining attractiveness at every age. It's not just about looks, either. Confidence, wisdom, and that je ne sais quoi—that special something—tend to grow stronger with age, making people all the more attractive.

So, if you ask me, the whole concept of an aging peak has been thrown out the window. It's more about how you feel inside and shine outwardly. And I've seen plenty of women and men who just keep getting better with age, don't you think? Plus, attractiveness is so subjective; what dazzles someone might not even catch another's eye. So here’s to simply shining bright at every stage of life! What do you enjoy most about getting older?

Well peak just means the best part, right? So in your twenties you have youth on your side, you look young. In your 30s you look like an adult... you're at your peak. Whether or not you look good af is subjective lol. But after 40 we will start to show some signs of aging, it's normal and doesn't mean unattractive.

And it's 10pm for me and I'm tired so I don't know... lol

I have no idea...

Drama Queen just had her 17th birthday and asked me how it is to be an adult. I told her about obvious things like taking responsibility for herself, focusing on her career, etc. And she asked, but how do you feel inside... and what can I say? I don't think I have ever felt as an adult inside... :D

there is biologically, though i'm kinda confused what that would be because the times i've looked it up i've seen wildly different theories (with some consistencies though). scientifically i think 30 would be towards the end or a bit past that looks wise from what i've seen

personally i think everyone peaks in their 20s looks wise, guy or girl. think the golden range is 20-25 for everyone

I don't know for men because I'm not looking at men. But for women I'd say 40. There's just something kind of icky about a 40+ year old woman. It's like buying a car with 100k+ miles. Ya just don't do it. I mean maybe if there's a good deal. But that's the point. Women's attitudes do not adjust as they get older. They still think they're a prize after 40. No matter how much evidence to support otherwise.😆 So if a guy is going to have to put up with her shenanigans anyhow why would he settle for a 40+ year old?

Personally not for me, people I know tells me I’ve only gotten hotter and had a glow up 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
I think the world has too much time on their hands to pick on women beauty so much. Each individual ages differently though.

this is not a society thing... this is online stupidity... from people who are insecure AF

I dont consider that to be accurate. I think it varies from individual to individual and it has nothing to do with gender. Some people look better younger, while others look better older.

exitseven · Answer

lots of things to consider. People age at different rates. I see women that are 50 and they are still very attractive. Then there are plenty of women that are washed up at 30.  Same thing with guys.

robhazelnut · Answer

Only the present moment exists, so peaks of age don't exist since other ages for a body don't exist.

I don’t think anyone is old until they are in their 80s. Then they have a right to stand in the check out line and argue over saving 10 cents on a piece of fruit.
