    Anywhere between 28-32. Old enough that people take you mostly seriously but young enough that the world still feels like it’s set up with you specifically in mind.

        Get a solid workout routine and make sure to stick with it. Whatever you want your goals to be, start now if you haven’t yet. Don’t put off taking care of your health.

    25, maybe 30.

    Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.

    That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)

    Mid twenties.

    Young enough to do whatever I want but old enough to be taken seriously.

    40-50. (53 now) Around then you’re old enough to have some gravitas, even if you don’t try. People respect you automatically, which is weird.

    You can still be in excellent shape and looking good. I kinda lucked out on that.

    Bonus: If you have all your teeth and hair and are non-fat, the dating pool is smaller, but awesome. I was dating women I wouldn’t have had a chance with when younger.

      I am a lady, but had the same experience. Maybe a 5 as a 20 something, average in looks and the curvy short girls win the early rounds. Always had a few guys who thought I was the best thing they’d ever seen but not “majority attractive”, understand? But just stayed in shape and waited, and, well, small don’t fall so as a 50-something relatively much better looking. It was such a a surprise.
