Unfortunately Old and Hot are inversely proportional

Wait 'till you get older, my dude.

Only if you do it wrong

My best relationships were with women who figured out their own personal style and appearance later in life (25+). Often, they had disproportionately long awkward phases and developed a sense of self identity that was pretty far detached from physical appearance.

Then, whenever they did figure out their hair/makeup/fashion/fitness for themselves, and built some confidence there, their physical attractiveness would be layered on top of interesting personalities. And that combination would be really sexy, which would also enhance confidence and the perceived physical attractiveness too, in some kind of feedback loop.

So yeah. I'm all about the old and hot. Especially if they were never young and hot.

Its not terrible.

Fer srsly. I moved back to the town I went to college in for work and anyone under 30 is a child in my eyes.

Every once in a while I see a 25 year old and think she'll be pretty when she's 40.

2025 is a bit old by anyone's measure, no?

Doesn't look a day over 1900!

I'm describing a backstory, not current state. Every old person was once 25 years old.

What I'm describing is spending 10+ years of being around people putting emphasis on appearance and style, before figuring out how you want to approach it and developing some confidence around appearance/fashion/personal style. At that point that often builds something that sticks with them through the rest of their adult lives.

In the words of Bon Jovi... I'm halfway there
