men get better looking with age, women get worse looking

I believe this.
 
I always tell my g/f that I'm convinced once she's older, she'll stop shaving her woman parts and get hairier than a gorilla down there. She keeps insisting she won't.

We all know what happens.

:'(

My wife didn't start shaving down there until she was 40. There's still hope 😉
 
I doubt men really get better looking with age. I bet it's more like society seeing the genders through the lens of evolutionary advantage and mating viability. When we "see" an older man, we automatically factor in the expectation that he has had longer to amass wealth and influence and has proven that he is capable of surviving to a later age. His sperm will be viable for practically as long as he can make it shoot out of him too, so there's no biological hangup on that end. These are positive aspects, so age looks "good" on a man because it carries all those implications with it, not because he literally looks better in any objective way.

With women it goes the other way. Everything hinges on reproductive capability, which is much more limited in females with regards to viable age. Women don't get to benefit from advanced age in the realm of sexual attractiveness because even though advanced age should indicate all the same positive aspects in a woman that it does with a man, with advanced age comes the end of their ability to reproduce. That means, from an evolutionary standpoint, that age just can't look good on them. That is to say, there's no reproductive reason men should find women more attractive when they're older, so they don't. Biology just won't let them have sexual credit for their survivability like it does men.

Damn. I should be right at my sexual value peak (31) but I'm probably the loneliest I've ever been in my life, lol.

Well... not really "lol." More like "FML."

Are you expecting women to come crawling through your [parent's] basement window to find you? 😀

Kate Beckinsale laughs at the notion that women peak at 15.

Anecdotal, but yeah. Different women peak at different ages, appearance-wise. I can't think of anyone I grew up with that peaked at the age of 15. In many cases it's somewhere between 18 and 25, though I know a few women who are in their early 30s and still looking better every year..

That's because you are getting hornier as time goes by.
