How can people even question that young women are seen as more attractive than young men? Just look at the insta profile of an average man and an average woman. The average woman can post one pic and gets dozens of dms. The average man is mostly ignored.

Beauty is a social currency in a way and youth is often considered beautiful in women . This is why Botox, plastic surgery are becoming so popular. Because women want to retain their youthful looks.

Tinder profile average man vs. Average woman . Who do you think gets more matches.

So yea, men peak later in life. Because they start at zero compared to women who are valued for their youthful beauty.

Think about the perspective of an average man. He is a nobody in his early 20s. Maybe lucky to get laid once after jumping through hoops. Once he starts developing his career he suddenly gets a bit more attention. From his perspective that is an improvement.

People think that when TRP says men peak later in life they mean that balding men with dad bods are seen as beautiful. But no. They mean what I explained earlier. When you start as a nobody and suddenly start developing some wealth and some skills you notice an improvement.

Yes I know there are some men who can pull the pretty boy aesthetic and peak early but these men are an extreme minority.

There was recently a study that showed that male virginity is on the rise for younger ages but most men gain sexual experience after 25. TBPillers have tried to show that "see it's not that bad, men still get sex just a bit older". But this study actually just describes the phenomenon I mentioned.

Also, it doesn't help that women tend to date at least 1-2 years older ( I know it's not a huge gap but still enough to affect the dating game) while at the same time they refuse to date younger men even if it's just 1 year younger.
