Do you think that a lot of older mature women look better than their younger counterparts?

I see many women in their 30's 40's and a lot of them dress and look better than girls my age (21 yrs old) or women in their middle 20's. Why do you think this is? Why are many older women putting younger ones to shame?

    I'm not a man, but I might be able to answer your question:

    Older women have more money to spend on their appearance. When I was a teenager, I would shop at the cheap but trendy stores in the mall. Now that I'm in my mid twenties, I shop at stores that are still trendy, but are a little bit higher quality. I make sure the clothing fits correctly, and I've become much better at doing my makeup and hair. Having a good hair stylist (read: don't color your hair yourself or use cheap products) and using good quality makeup makes a real difference.

    By the time I'm in my 30's-50's, I'll have more disposable income to do upkeep on myself and my wardrobe. Also, I'm making it a point to not lose my figure. With a little bit of luck, I'll be one of the good looking, mature women you speak of.

    Source(s): Older women realize they need to do more work to look good, and they have more income to achieve this.

    No one expects a 40 year old man to compete with a 20 year old man when it comes to virility, and no one expects a 20 year old man to compete with a 40 year old man when it comes to acquiring wealth, career and status, but people (at least some here) expect women from ages 18-60 to compete directly with another in every way. It's just not reasonable or realistic.

    I really don't think so some older women may look better then younger women but they are not really that common. The dress sense just means you like what older women wear it just appeals to you more not that they have greater dress sense then younger women.

    In the 20s women are not that bad at dressing if you had mentioned teens then you would have a point.

    No, not at all. Some women in their 30s and 40s can look good, but very, very few can compare to the looks and bodies of young women.

    I guess young women think that looking tarty and plastering makeup on will pull the fellas.

    That may be true, but the sort of guy that pulls is only interested in one thing!

    I suppose experience has a lot to do with it.

    Yeah, I have a huge thing for older women. Idk why, they're just so much sexier for some reason. They're a lot more matured mentally and they don't play as many games, you can actually have an intelligent conversation with them unlike younger girls.

    When you get a few years older, you will lose your mother fixation and go for good looking women. One of my friends was the same as you. Now he is 28, he sees older women as unattractive.

    You betcha! And I'll drink to that!

    Besides that, they put a younger women to shame because the old broads are classy, and they know it

    I'd chalk it up to experience, increased common sense (bright blue eyeshadows + red lips = PHAIL) and grooming habits.

    I'm still in my early twenties but when ever I look at my old pics during my teens ....teh horrors *rinses eyes with bleach*

    Probably because they actually do their hair and dress in clothes that fit as opposed to something that looks like you would clean the house in.
