&gt; I do find, strangely, that I&#x27;m way more attractive to women now that I&#x27;m older, even though my looks have (objectively) declined.<p>Confidence and the way you carry yourself. In our teens and early twenties we tend to dress and act for others. As we get older that becomes less common, or we become better at selling our appearance (attire, demeanor, etc.) as ourselves and not a façade. Whether that&#x27;s a hoodie and jeans and converse sneakers, or a suit and tie, or something in between doesn&#x27;t matter (mostly).<p>Also, in your twenties you&#x27;re still putting on muscle mass and filling out some. If you maintain decent physical conditioning you won&#x27;t have that scrawnier look that a lot of teens have. You probably have broader shoulders and a fuller face than you did in your younger years, it looks healthier and more attractive, even if it&#x27;s paired with gray hair and wrinkles.
