What percentage of the opposite sex do you think are objectively attractive?

We’re in alignment there as I take good care of myself and am mostly attracted to people who do the same. I guess you could say I’m definitely a “body” person.

I see attractive women regularly but it’s not like I pay enough attention to keep count and have a sense of what percentage are attractive.

If she gets a horrible autoimmune condition and can’t work out after a few kids, will you still be attracted to her?
Yes, it’s a serious question. I know not everyone believes they would stay in such a condition.

The thing is people who exercise and take care of their bodies 1) have fewer chances of any decease and 2) won’t have multiple kids at the expense of their own health

Women in their early 20s, I'd say 60-70% are attractive.

Mid 20s-late 30s, 30-40%.

Late 30s to late 40s 20%

50+ 10-15%.

That is on superficial looks. Someone can become attractive by more than looks.

I think men also peak around early 30s and go down dramatically too, in case you think I am sexist

What you left out is how old you are. I’m in my fifties and no way are 2/3rds of people in their twenties attractive to me. They’re kids.

At 15 nearly 80% people looked attractive, at 51, probably 8%.

At 15 it's just raging hormones. I drive past the HS every day and there's not much attractive about a bunch of awkward children lol

Women find most men unattractive and that's a fact. I am a fine and that's a good think actually.

I find all women attractive. Maybe because I am divorced now, single and horny lol. For real every woman I see doesn't matter 56, 36, 26 they are all hot in my eyes. I am 48 and I have my eyes on a woman who happens to go the gym at the same time I go. If I were to guess her age maybe she is 55, but she looks amazing. I'll try my luck lol..If she is married good for her husband he has a very attractive wife. If she is single and wants me as well then good for me and hopefully for her as well. I'll update you guys...

I'm an older guy, but I generally find women attractive of all ages. If they don't take care of themselves, like not washing, going to obese size, that's different.
If they've got a sparkle in their eyes, I like that!

It may be 1-3%???

But I suspect that the rare older man that I see as attractive is likely younger than me. 😞

Oh dear, 1 in 50? yikes

I haven’t been on DCUM for a while and I know that these conversations always lead to what aboutisms and lightswitch extremes in order to make points and win arguments. Outside of the internet, thats not really how people work.

We just celebrated our 22nd anniversary a few weeks ago. Yes, we’ve had ups and downs, health issues and are both in our 50’s. Neither of us is the exact same person we used to be - life happens. We’re still very good to each other and have a lot of fun together.

Male in my mid 30's, I'll use the format someone else did.

Women in their early 20s, I'd say 50% are attractive.

Mid 20s-late 30s, 50%.

Late 30s to late 40s 20-25%

50+ 10%

At my age I'm looking at women in their 50s to early 60s realistically and it's less than 5%

This is a smart area, but not an attractive one.

It’s amazing how DCUM is over represented with all of these beautiful people who are so attractive and young for their age! At least that’s what they tell all of us.

You are telling me people on an anonymous forum either make **** up or embellish just a bit? I'm shocked.

I am in my 40s and I spend time with other people in their 40s and I’d say the women are doing much better looks wise than the men but they are trying much harder. If the men made a similar effort they would look amazing.
