I am thinking the age varies depending on the genetics, whether the woman has been able to have plastic surgery, and also her skill with makeup and fashion. Looking good takes some money and time along with skill. Personality is big too for men but looks are first. I'm just about to turn 60 and think I look not bad for my age. However, men on dating sites my age and older are not responding. I think they only want women 50 and under. It doesn't matter how trim you are or how nice ou are. Money is also important.

 Ok, although there are many angles to "attractiveness" in a woman, there are only two that really matter. Those are: 1) attractive enough to have sex with or 2) attractive enough for a LTR.
To the original author, which of these are we talking about?

I am blessed with good genes but I also work at it. I actually look better today than I did when I was younger. I would never want to be 20 again. As a woman matures, she is much more confident and secure in herself. Confidence is sexy. I think that all the life experience you gain makes you more beautiful. An older woman is more relaxed and she is not afraid to express herself. There is so much more substance to an older woman. A young woman is just packaging. They need to age like fine wine to reach their peak of hotness.I agree with some of the comments that the eyes have it. It is all about the eyes. If a woman's eyes sparkle and they are full of life, this makes her unstoppably attractive. Also, a woman who can laugh and has a sense of humour adds so much to her hotness factor.

 When I was 20 I thought the cut off was when a woman reaches her 30’s. That was then, and then I grew up. I will say I am applaude at some of the shallow comments made by some men here, totally SHALLOW.I am 56 and my wife is 50. She says I still make her feel sexy (I think that comes from feeling loved) proving that she feels it and I still see her “hotness”. Lost it, going to lose it? NEVER—Woman are so beautiful to look at. Their eyes say so much about them. When a woman is happy there is a “light” in their eyes and that alone makes them hot. When there lids are closed forever they are still hot in someone’s eyes as he will see her happy forever I his eyes.As for the body losing its “hotness”, to me it does not. I truly love woman and the different types of bodies coupled with the maturity of time makes a woman “hot” all the time. I have been married 30 years, my wife knows I like to look at the “menu”, and we both talk about how the more mature a woman is the sexier she can be. You (women) spend your lives working and perfecting your bodies (only to never be satisfied) and it shows in the way you carry yourselves, that is what makes you hot at any age. Pay attention the next time you go shopping and notice how many men are checking out the menu (you). It shows that at any age you still have it and we want it!

By her mid-20s she has definetly lost that "hotness". A woman's peak (as far as looks go) runs between the ages of 17 until she is roughly 21 (sometimes as late as 23). Afterwards, it just goes downhill from there (the hottest MILF can never compare herself to some spunky 20 year old girl). Not to mention, her "attractiveness" is tied in with her period. Most single guys in their late 20s or 30s will go after a woman younger than them (if that). That is why you never hear of a 40 year old woman marrying a 20 year old man. Whereas, the other way around is fairly common.Simply put, what makes men attractive is a completely different thing from what makes women attractive. We men, potentially, can be attractive for the rest of their lives. A woman's attractiveness depends on her looks, age and how many meters her vagina has (both figuratively and literally).

 Very late. In fact, some women never totally lose their mojo.
Of course, in time you pass from being a mainstream article,to being a " niche " article, for connoisseurs.
At 50, you won't have men queuing around the block for you.
Which is good. I was so tired of paying all those fines for traffic obstruction :)

 "Hot" and "attractive" are very different things.
My Grandma turned 70 this year is she is beautiful, she is very classy despite not being wealthy. I've seen pictures of her when she was younger and she was stunning.
She has a map of her life on her face, she has lines and wrinkles but I dont think that stops a person being attractive.
It all depends on your pespective!

a woman loses her beauty when she becomes a sour puss!
women who become bitter and nasty , just do not do it for men.
bitterness is so bad, it creeps into a womans soul and it destroys her and people around her. some women are rightly bitter when their men do them wrong, but i view this as a women losing the battle all over again by becoming this nasty bitter and twisted person, while their cheating/cheated spouses live a good life with no worries.
so women the best revenge is living a good life, so turn those sad, pitiful eyes into big round beautiful eyes, get the spark back into your lives and well, just live the best life you can with or without that @astard who made you this way.
another "unbeautiful" trait is gossiping and spreading rumours.
what when does a woman lose her attracticeness? when she stops believing in herself. when she lets hersef go and not take pride in herself.
........the list goes on!!!!!
WHEN DOES A MAN LOSE IT?
when he doesnt attempt to fix his erectile dysfunction.
when he choses not to learn to make love properly or learn to know his partners body.
when he tries to comb his 3 hairs on his head.
when he cannot see his penis/or know it is there because his belly is so massive.
when he stops making an effort with his appearance.
but the no. 1 turn off is a man that gossips. to me this is the killer. i have no respect for these men and well i think they have no respect for themselves as well.
.....the list goes on.
i am more attracted to be 60s guy who embodies maleness than a shallow 30/40 year old who just lives life.
as for the women age is just a number, it is how she carries herself out and what she does to still have it.
empowerment to all.
Damn, now i better suck it in, dress well when my hubby comes home, all just to show me that I am still in the lineup!!!!!!!!
each to his/her own.

Strangely and I mean very strangely porn stars older than 23 are automatically classed into the MILF category!(???) So yeah, most guys would proabably say that anything much older than 23 is less hot. BUT I however am not one of these guys!
For me, women reach the epitome of their beauty/hotness at age 40 or older! and not a day earlier! Women between the age of 40 and 50 are the hottest on the planet!!! Look at Courtney Cox for example...
Really, girls of my age or even a bit older just don't appeal to me. They just lack that life wisdom/experience and maturity.
I'm 32 and my wife is 43 and she is fucking gorgeous!!!

reader, anonymous, writes (13 April 2011): No age limit for me. There's plenty of older women, even in their 60s, that Ive found attractive. Take Sofia Loren for example, yeah she's a celebrity but if a woman takes care of her body, she can get any man with her looks at practically any older age. I, myself, prefer younger women tho as they tend to have fresh personalities and less sexual experience which is a MUST for me if Im going to save my own embarassment.

 It can be any age. I consider it to be when someone stops caring about their looks and themselves. You can be incredibly hot at fifty if you want to be or not at all at 20.

 Depends on what the guy is looking for. Objectively speaking, women's fertility peaks around 27. Since "beauty" is mostly just a series of markers indicating good breeding material, the male mind is judged to calibrate hotness according to these markers. These judging instincts have not changed a whole lot since we were cavemen, either. An 18 year old has many years of fertility ahead of her, but is mature and developed enough to be likely to survive a pregnancy; a 35 year old, not so much.
Trouble is, there's no precise sell-by date. It's more a spectrum of "very fertile/hot" to "less fertile/hot," at least until menopause.
On a purely physical level, I think most guys aim for the 20-27 bracket, but a sufficiently strong emotional attachment can create a very powerful physical response. The pair bonding instinct is incredibly strong, and so is our ability to adapt to our options. I've heard men in their 80's say with complete sincerity that their wives are more beautiful now than they were when they met, and a 70-year old single man is not likely to turn down an in-shape 50-year old.
That pair-bond instinct can be strongly helped along by a powerful, instinctual physical attraction, though. It's easiest to start forming such a lifelong bond when you're relatively young, say early to mid-twenties.
Plus, when you hit your late 20's, the chatter of 19-year-old girls can be so mind-numbing that you don't even want to be around most of them, so the mental component can turn us off certain girls, too.
Short version: depends on the age of the guy and his relationship with you.

 To a guy? physically? Usually after they have kids, get old and start losing their figure. So I guess about 35-40.

 Hiyaaaaa,It actually depends you know because some women tend to lost their hotness after 40 like for example Kate Moss is 37 and she has kinda loss her beauty in my opinion if she isn't airbrushed but that still doesn't mean that is she beautiful, she just scary looking without make up.On the other hand someone like Jennifer Aniston is 42, Demi Moore 48 are still looking pretty hot and totally not their age.So it really depends and diet, drinks, smoking + drugs, stress, cosmetics and exercise all have an impact on women attractiveness, everyone is different some are born with good skin and ageless whereas some are sort of unlucky born with rough hair and prone to early wrinkles!Hope my opinions helps!Good luck!Lots of love,Ima FreAk!x

 I think it depends on the person looking at you! It's in the eye of the beholder, right?
For instance, when I was in 2nd grade, I thought all those 2nd grade boys were soooo hot. Then 5th grade, I thought that the 5th graders were soooo hot. Then at 16, I thought all the 16 year olds were soooo hot. Now at 24, I think other 24 year olds are soooo hot.
You tend to find the attractiveness within your own age range. So when you're 80, all the other 80 years olds will think you're deliciously attractive!
Classic beauty/hotness? I guess lasts from 13-65. Before or after that you're cute to the general public. A beautiful soul. But probably not "hot".
Those are my thoughts off the top of my head... interesting question!

 I have never seen so beautiful a thing as an older woman with confidence. As long as you keep your heart, soul, and fire alive, it will keep your body and spirit young.
Those who age gracefully are those who embrace life and its cycles. To add on to that, you are 36-40? Hardly aging, not even considered middle aged.
To sum up, a woman loses her beauty when she loses her spirit and ability to play. Not an exact age.
