Prime age for looks

I'm 25 now, soon to be to 26. I was thinking about when people are past their prime when it comes to looks. I think I still look pretty good, but I think I looked a little better when I was 23.
I remember maybe 10 years ago Britney Spears might have been the hottest girl in the world, fast forward to now, she's only in her mid 30's, but she didn't age well, I wouldn't get a dance from her if she paid me. Same thing with Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera etc.
It has been said that white people (especially women) don't age well. On the other hand Asians probably age the best out of anyone.
In general what are the prime ages for looks?
I was thinking 23-26. There are exceptions obviously. Paula Patton is 40, but she still looks unbelievable, same thing with Gabrielke Union. It has also been said that if you take care of your body, that you will age better, you can still be looking pretty good in your mid 30's.
I just want your thoughts on all of this.

Example - I am in my mid 30's and I was never looking at a women in their mid to late 30's when I was your age. Now I am more attracted to women my age than a girl in their early 20s. To me, it says something to see a 37 year old that's still hot and put together. It's easy to find a hot 20 year old, now a hot 40 year old is pretty hard to find. When I'm 45 will I be attracted to 45 year old women? I would assume so, but right now I am not checking out 45 year old women because I am not in that age group.
You won't say this when you're over 60 like me. I prefer girls in the 25-30 year range. A 60-year-old woman would be disgusting, and as for an 18-year-old--well, I'm not a pervert.
Personally, I doubt any man younger that 35 is in their "prime." What few advantages a younger man has in physical abilities, or prowess, are far less valuable than the wisdom of experience and maturity. The "prime" years are those years we experience with stamina, joy and anticipation, believing we can accomplish many things and not worried about our limitations. At some point declining physical abilities, accumulated damage to the body, and failing stamina overcome the experience - only then is someone "past their prime."
We all age differently. She was blessed early but I have no idea how she aged. We moved away 2 years later.
A lot of women start to fill out in their early 20s as their bodies finish developing. They start to look more 'womanly' as a result, unless they have kids or unfortunately bad genetics.
A lot of the girls at my high school who developed early (big boobs, hips, etc) are now carrying extra weight just a few years later... Whereas there are other girls I went to high school with had their ugly duckling phase back then and now look better than ever. Most look way better now that they are in their early/mid twenties, and even the people who were grades above me seem to look much better than they did at 18, unless they partied heavily for a long time or had bad genetics.
And your thoughts about the aging of black vs white women is reasonable. The "black don't crack" myth is somewhat true, as studies have shown black women "age" at a rate 10 years slower than white women. Part of it is due to the higher melanin levels in darker people's skin - natural UV protection.
Younger does not always equal more attractive. I graduated high school with girls who I never looked at twice (and the yearbook confirms why). They didn't "grow" into their bodies and features until their mid/late 20s, when they became stunners.
I agree with mrrock.
What a wonderfully poetic and romantic way to describe it. Have you been smokin weed LW?
Prime age for women -- one day before becoming pregnant for first time (or one day before betting married for first time, whichever comes first).
I find Britney Spears to be hotter now - than 10 years ago. Her body is looking great - and she looks amazing. I'm sure that's not what others think - but it's all good.
Im 29 but I can still pass as 19. Yet my prime was 16 and Im very confident I can get that back and better.
Women peak at 16-24, but Ive met busty Russian girls at 14 that would put most 30 to shame
Inside ove the 18-24 demographic. I'd say im forever 24
Like I tell everyone; I still act, feel and do everything as if I was 25. I just have the experiences to hopefully not be an idiot anymore.
