The ages men and women find attractive

This is a pretty cool chart which is also depressing as hell. The article is about a study done on a dating site to figure out the average age that men and women find attractive, based on their ages.

The first graph is women. There is a slight S-curve to it, but it basically matches the age of the woman. So, a 40 year old woman finds 40 year old men the most attractive.

The depressing part is the male part. 20. If the guy is thirty? 20. Fifty? 20. We have an entire society that basically obsesses with 20-something women as the “only” attractive age.

Of course, I’d love to see gay and lesbian in there, but thought it was food for thought.
