When would you say looks peak?

Obviously if you drink like a fish in your late teens/20s, eat badly and don't take good care of your teeth you will probably peak very early on... I'd say this is actually a pretty solid amount of people, I wouldn't go as far to say a majority though...

On the other hand you also have people who really step up how much they take care of themselves and somehow mature well, who manage to keep getting better looking for a good half a decade past the average for their gender.

I would guess if you averaged all men, the peak of their averaged looks would be at around 27. For women I would say 22. I would also say the variance is greater for men.

What do you guys think?


Edit: Note this is about LOOKS only. I realise the age for peak "attractiveness" is probably later.

I think people look the most attractive when they're happy, whatever age.

Sure, seeing people happy don't hurt. Girl wise, I prefer women who've had a bit of experience and are more mature. I guess it depends on how old you are. Eye of the beholder...
It's slightly different for everyone. But an average would probably put girls around 20ish imo, and guys at around 30?

I think people will look "peak" once they've climbed to a mountain's peak

I looked well peak when I climbed Snowdon.
Women's peak in their late teens/early twenties imo.

Though, listen to my story from work today!

Customer: I'm dying to ask you a question...
Me: Go on ... :fatcontroller:
Customer: ...How old are you?
Me: :colonhash: How old do you think I am...?
Customer: :colondollar: 12? :colondollar: :colondollar: :colondollar:

I'm bloody 20. SOOOO, I'm hoping that I have youthful skin and will stretch my peak to a tiny bit later? :awesome: :getmecoat:

This woman look best at 18-25 thing doesn't apply to every girl OP. We all know that some woman age terribly compared to others, especially the ones who smoke, drink, tan excessively ect
