Woah, all gone a bit Mumsnet in here!
At the age of 30 I had assumed that I was now firmly on the downward trajectory and that a lifetime of biscuits, dribbling and daytime television beckoned, but...according to the women in our office 32 is supposedly the optimum age for the male of the species.
It is said that this age represents the sweet spot on some sort of line graph where you're young enough to appeal to young women, whilst being just old enough to appeal to cougars (or old slappers as you may know them).
In preparation for this rapidly impending trans-generational jizz fest, I thought who better to ask than the men of STW?
So, have you peaked, are you in your prime or are you embracing your 'silver fox' (Muddy Fox, surely?) status and living like Hugh Hefner?
I am currently in my prime.
I was last year too, and the year before that....
I'm sure I'll also be in my prime every year for the foreseeable future 😉

Fantastic!
I have no idea, I'm 27 and in a happy 11-year long relationship with first kid due in 8 weeks. If my prime is approaching or past I haven't noticed either way 😆
I'm the quickest I've ever been on a bike right now if that's worth anything!! 🙄

@ noteeth
When can I have my painting back? 😀
I think I reached my peak of attractiveness when I was about 3 years old.
It's been downhill ever since.
Next year I'll be prime (40 divides by 2, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 20).

This is STW, it's like being the 4th biggest rap artist in Iceland 😛
I get a lot of women giving me the eye and I'm friggin ancient 🙂

A terrifying thought. 😀
As to the OP, I'm a prime example of subprime. 8)

Jeez, well past it! Definitely 30 was my peak.
Grey sideys, bald patch, developing spare tyre, uncontrollable eyebrow growth, hairy ears, jowels. That's what you youngsters have got to look forward to !
Not yet. I'm only 21 but I have a feeling I'll be better looking in a few years as by then I'll have hopefully lost the rest of the weight I need to lose, and my face will have aged a bit more as I still look about 17 😆
On a serious note....I was asked for ID in a "Challenge 25" shop when buying a bottle of wine......was well chuffed since I'll be 41 next month 😀 😉
I'm 38, but do look a fair bit younger. Only last week I got the eye off a 16-17 YO teenage girl. My buffness does tend to turn ladies heads.
'Aesthetic'? Hmm. 'Grotesque', perhaps....
Went out with a lass when I was at Uni, who'd turned down a Premier League + England footballer. I asked her what I had that a top internationally famous sportsman with pots of money din't. Her reply was...
...'A personality'. 😀
Mind you, I smiled at a very pretty girl in Caymden earlier. She looked quite frightened, poor little thing. 🙁
I think my peak was 25 🙁
that was a LONG time ago
haha, sorry [b]bn9er[/b] - your instinct was correct. As an ancient, I have to tell you that my cougar radar doesn't flicker over mid-20s 😉

I hear you! Good evening. 🙂 Daughter's clubbing though.
What an interesting question and how on earth is one supposed to answer?
Well, I guess I could be the right age for a "cougar". A classy one mind, to go with my mid-life crisis bike. 🙄
Reckon I'm in my prime, feel completely at one with myself and have embraced behaving badly in middle-age. 😉

Hot damn...
Rides an Orange and wears stiletto heels, you were well up my list of cyber crushes.
Would it help if I told you I had the body of a 24 year old?
That reminds me, I really should move it to a more secluded location 😈
Well at 32 i today had a group of 17-18 year old girls whistling and shouting nice legs at me so no i am still on the up 🙂
Wow this totally makes sense to me.
I fully agree, i'm 40 and totally in my prime, having more confidence now than at anytime in my life.
I was very shy in my twenties and a bit crap tbh.
Last weekend got chatted up by 3!!! teachers in their twenties at Hampton Court Jazz Festival.

I'll let you know after I finish this Red Bull.

There's some in the cupboard, Mrs Robinson 😉
Well at the age of 40 I have a girlfriend who says, and I quote, "I am very beautiful." The closest I have ever got before that was in 1999 when someone told me they loved my eyes, so yeah, I'll take that and liken myself to a vintage wine, 1970 vintage 😀
I can still pull off the pink thong look with pride.
And once i'd shaved off the 8 week beard, i was aged 10 years younger than when beardy. 8)

What an entertaining thread. 8)
God, sounds like I'm the only one realistic (or honest) enough to realise I look like shit!
I've had more than my fair share of comments on my biking photos, so any compliments I am taking and going with you know?
Oh and my ex was a Paraguayan tantric yoga teacher, but hey ho, mustn't grumble.
2 more glasses of wine and IMHO you'll all be at your asthetic peaks....
3 and the law of diminishing returns says my pinacle is a hazy memory.
you're not alone DezB, I also think you look like shit

Nah, you just have to ask a focus group under controlled test conditions.
May I suggest a provincial Yates Wine Lodge at 1am tomorrow night? 😛
Dez - it's the internet. Nobody knows what we look like. We can be anyone we want to be. 😉
How are you, btw? Actually I need to e-mail you re a trail. Stand by your inbox!

Hello Mrs DezB! (Waves) 😀
😯
Is everyone pi**ed?
1 to go...
*winks at DezB dons suede jacket and heads back to the bar*
Yes
not now, not never 🙂
Is that a special bumming jacket TSY? With tassles and that?
Please don't do things like that. It's not nice. 🙁
cinnamon_girl - MemberIs everyone pi**ed?
No, just holding out for a badger shot!
Not in the slightest. I'm liking that man's jacket though...
Let's go back to the 'tantric' word.
There was an interesting article about this subject in the Sunday Times. Did anyone read it? [s]Or s****[/s]
TSY - you swing both ways? What shall I tell my daughter? 😯
[b]cinnamon_girl [/b]Is everyone pi**ed?
not me < virtuous> Up [i]very[/i] early to head up to Yorkshire to walk the 3 Peaks 🙂 Must go to bed actually...
Well you haven't lived unless you have been initiated into tantra while v cold and disorientated in a temple in Varanasi that is illegal for westerners to enter where people are said to go missing..........
Ooooh, Y3P - within 12 hours naturally? Enjoy, it's beautiful there. 🙂
Tantric? Isn't that just so uptight Middle Class types can indulge in multi-positional sex without feeling guilty about being filthy buggers?
It's so much more liberating being sink estate scum! 😀
Hmm, d'you think there's any money to be made in 'The Council Estate Scum's guide to filthy mucky sordid sexual activities'?
[flounce] Huff! [flounce]
Christ I go to the bar and come back to all these vicious rumours!!
I'm going out for a [s]fag[/s] ciggy!

Ooooh, Y3P - within 12 hours naturally? Enjoy, it's beautiful there.
I'm aiming for 10 hours - it's a training session for a fast National 3 Peaks the following weekend. Can't wait. Means setting off in my car at 5am though for a 7am start 🙁 Then the drive back afterwards.
Divagirl - 10 hours sounds good! We had an eventful day. 🙄
What time are you going for at the National 3P? You do have drivers, don't you?
Everyone else - shocking behaviour. 🙄
I think everyone must have passed out on booze and been taken to bed 😮
Yeah, these youngsters have no stamina. 🙄
Not true!
I'll be up til' 07.30 as am at work. Then I'll drive home, grab six hours sleep before sorting out some admin in Bournemouth.
Quick ride in the late afternoon, then tomorrow night the stickiest of sticky carpetted rock dives beckons!
I'm watching CSI:NY! 🙂
And drinking beer... 😉
C-girl - 22/23 hours if all goes well, yes we have drivers
CougarIt's broken, then.
It's a cross I attempt to bear with fortitude 😉
<1001.....1002....>
Sorry just doing some bicep curls, working on my guns.
Aesthetically I'm almost there.
Will look out for you tommorrow, Divagirl. Doing the same route! Alas, the 'national' 3 peaks really annoys me! 🙂
just holding out for a badger shot!
I say!
