What age group is most attractive to men?

In short, heterosexual men will find 20-year-old women most attractive regardless of how old they are. Women, on the other hand, tend to find men of a similar age to them most attractive so as they get older, women will generally start to be into older men.

If you want to look at the difference between how genders see ages, you need to look no further than the ‘most desirable’ age and how that differs if you’re a man or a woman. No matter how old a man gets he will always be attracted to very young women, according to a study. In short, heterosexual men will find 20-year-old women most attractive regardless of how old they are. Women, on the other hand, tend to find men of a similar age to them most attractive so as they get older, women will generally start to be into older men. @Miaxmon spotted the figures, sourced from the book Dataclysm, and shared the graphs, adding; ‘if you want to see something really f*cked up, have a look at this.’ The graphs show a worrying sliding scale where both 20-year-old and 49-year-old men both cite women aged 20 as what they find the most attractive. The age of a woman men find most attractive never makes it above 24. Conversely, a 20-year-old woman will be most attracted to a 23-year-old-man but a 50-year-old woman will lust after a 46-year-old man.

So clearly, this isn’t great news for women.

And it is scientific evidence backing the anecdotal theory that men always prefer to chase younger women.

But despite this disappointingly predictable revelation, it’s actually not all bad news.

The same study found that the age range of women men say they are most interested in tends to fall within their own age range.

So it is not all about looks.

The findings show that despite older men finding much younger women extremely attractive, they were highly unlikely to actually message any of them on an online dating site.

Men will most often message women actually closer to their own age.

The figures suggest that there is a clear distinction between physical, sexual desire, and the connection men crave from actually interacting with a woman who has a similar level of maturity. In response to @miaxmon’s tweet, some say it’s jut biology and that it is completely normal for men to fancy younger women, but others were unsettled by the stark difference between the two graphs. The book that first published the graphs, Dataclysm: Who We Are When We Think No One’s Looking, was published in 2014 and is an irreverent investigation of human behavior.

How do girls act when they like someone?

Catching her staring at you is the biggest sign she has a crush. Look for other telltale cues like blushing, giggling, or making excuses to be together. Listen carefully to what she says—if she asks you about your crushes or talks about how she wants a boyfriend, she's dropping you some hints.

Article Summary

X

If you're trying to figure out if a girl has a crush on you, start by paying attention to her actions and behavior around you. For example, if you catch her staring at you frequently, there's a good chance she's crushing on you. She may also blush whenever you're around or giggle when you talk to her. If her friends giggle or elbow her whenever you're around, that usually means she likes you and all of her friends are aware of it! Also, pay attention to how she talks to you. If she has a crush on you, she might lightly tease you, give you compliments, or lean closer to you when you're chatting. Looking for excuses to hang out is another giveaway. She might casually ask you for help with her math homework or invite you to check out a movie or concert with her sometime. For tips on asking her about her feelings, read on!
