Pretty much all the actual evidence we have on this topic points too:

  1. Men at all ages (on average) preferring women who are in their early 20s
  2. Women (on average) preferring men who are 2-4 years older than them, until they are middle aged where they start preferring men who are slightly younger.

Men who truly peak with attractive young women are the 21 y/o collage athletes who have been lifting and partying since they were 16, or the mid- late 20s guys who stay, fit, young, fun and have high paying jobs. Young women just aren't into 30 or 40 y/o men who ''self improved'' into taking trt and are a boss in a big firm. Its not the latter who keeps the momentum of their youth and ends up having maintained success into their 30s.

This is reinforced by marriage data in which the average man is only 2-3 years older then the average woman.

This is also reflected in okCupid data where the maximum age range young women generally have which is 5-8 years older than them, with the greatest preference for 0-4 years older than them. (Look at the graph ''where women are sending their messages'')

''But I got more young girls now then when I was young''

Yes, if you were unattractive in your 20s and improved it’s entirely possible to attract more women in your 30s. That’s your OWN peak. Not when men theoretically peak in attractiveness.

''But this (influencer/celebrity/ guy I know) gets heaps of young girls''

Men who continue to attract heaps of young attractive women where ALWAY very attractive men who were getting girls thought out their entire life; they didn't peak, they just maintained.
