"  While we as a gender are trained to wake up every morning in a cold sweat because we are one day closer to the inevitable droopy, saggy, leathery, non-sexual phase of our lives, twenty-something women who splash out on too many anti-aging creams and serums can chill out.  According to the Telegraph via Jezebel, who reported on a study from a UK skin care and body firm, the average age of women&amp;#039;s peak satisfaction with their bodies is 34. That&amp;#039;s somewhat older than I thought it would be, but it makes sense \u2014 you&amp;#039;re old enough to give two shits about how you look naked, but young enough that you&amp;#039;re not hitting the dreaded mid-life physical changes yet.  Researchers also attributed this to women in their 30s knowing what diet and exercise works best for their systems, as well as possessing the image self-confidence that comes with being in a stable, loving relationship. (Hopefully, for my sake, a stable loving relationship with grilled cheese sandwiches also applies.) The women surveyed also chose 49-year-old Elle MacPherson as the number one celebrity bikini body. Now all we need to do is stop thinking we need to get knee lifts and hand plastic surgery, and we&amp;#039;re golden.  Follow Anna on Twitter.
