Utter nonsense. I know many women in their thirties and forties—some right here on this forum—who remain extremely attractive despite their "advanced" age. My last girlfriend was
fifty when we met, fifteen years older than I was at the time. Still attractive? You better believe it.

It's subjective, and also a matter of how you treat yourself physically and psychologically.
This is very true. Individual people age at different rates, depending on a variety of factors. Genetics plays a big role, but other things like smoking, diet, and getting too much sun/alcohol/drugs/etc. can have a tremendous impact.
As I've aged my taste in women has aged with me.
This, too. Were I in the market for a relationship today, I don't think I would even consider anyone under thirty. A pretty face is always nice, but in a romantic partner, maturity, experience, and depth of character really are more important, and these things only come with age. No offense intended to the younger members here, as I've met several who possess these attributes in spades, but generally speaking, they are rare in real life.
Ideally, as we get older, we get better: wiser, more mature, more understanding, more tolerant, more able to love deeply without stumbling over petty differences and perceived slights. These are the things that really matter. It is these qualities, among others, that make a person truly attractive, far beyond any influence physical appearance may have. Yes, pretty is nice, but it's not everything. Why settle for pretty when you can have beautiful?
