Paternal Age

Attractiveness relies on age

Age Preference

ZEUS OLVIS

Paternal age can significantly effect physical attractiveness. According to the article "Advanced paternal Age is associated wiht lower facial attractiveness" The physical attractiveness of a person when born can decrease with advancing paternal age. While this is going on it can also result in psychological disorders that include schizophrenia along with developing mental disorders it can also impact the pyhsical health of the offspring. The reason for paternal age being correlated with higher rislk and diseases and not with maternal is because of the difference within their reproductive systems. Therefore resulting in females trying to find younger looking males to mate with.

Age can play a major role with effecting physical attractiveness. One key item that plays a major role with facial attractiveness is paternal age. the physical attractiveness of an offspring can decrease with the advancing age of the male parent, along with this there is a higher risk for developing both mental and physical health disorders. For females, when it comes to age, sex varies from physical and emotional attractiveness with both pros and cons that occur in different age stages, but then again age can determine how attractive someone can be which can include the maturity level of an individual.

AGE & PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS

     How much does someone's age affect if they are beautiful or not? Beauty can have various amounts of different meanings to an individual. In my interview I conducted a few questions regarding age and it's correlation to beauty ,whether it be negative or positive . My primary informant was my oldest brother who is in mid twenties, I chose him because I've seen him have many types of girlfriends throughout the past and so I thought he'd be a better qualified informant than anyone else I thought of.

     I began with asking him my first major question. How much does someone's age affect if they are beautiful? He responded a different way than I believe most people would have  he said it wouldn't necessarily say that age makes someone beautiful or ugly, but it can still play a major role in who you decide to be with and that " it all depends on you bro" but to him he still has some age preference.

     I took into account on what he meant by still have preference and so I responded with another question of  if you'd date someone who isn't in your age range then why do you feel the need to still have an age preference towards girls? And that's when I got the answer I know most men would reply with which was " because you really wouldn't want to date someone who is Too old or Too young for you, right. You'd be better interested in girls who are just 'right' ". Which I took as someone who is as good looking as someone young but acts a bit more older with more maturity.

     His answers were starting to relate with one another but I kept on asking. I asked him if there were any age limit in which he sets upon girls he meets in order to date or not date them. He told me that that max age limit for dating someone older is maybe 4 years  but as for someone younger the limit would be 2 years. Although he answered with this he also added that even though he may set those limitations , that does not mean that he won't give other women a chance only because of age ,cause if he feels strongly about them and they may be more than 2 years younger or more than 4 years older he isn't just going to back away and leave as he said " that's just not smart".

     All in all my informant believes that age doesn't necessarily make someone more beautiful than can still be a factor for considering being with them as he said " it all depends on the person whether they think that age is important or not when it comes to beauty. You might not even know it but you may have your own age preferences as other people do".

Age does matter when it comes to maturity among both men and women but mostly women because they prefer a mate that is either their age or older than them and men only look for mates that are younger than them or around their age. According to the article " Evolution and Human Behavior" Men are looking for younger women when it comes to short - term relationship and during a longterm relationship they tend to look for older women because they may be spending their life with them. Also men tend to pay more attention to signs of youth in a mate because it signals fertility. Women prefer somewhat older males, i.e. males who have acheived the status to provide resources and who still have many years ahead to remain a good provider.

Attractiveness relies on age because of the fact that there are phyical and mental traits. Age affects attractiness by how one is viewed and seen mentally. Based on the age things such as bodies,height,maturity,voices and etc. Most things has to do with age because nobody is going to want to somebody to old and to young.

 Zeus who thinks that age doesn't matter when it comes to beauty because it depends on how a person defines the term beauty. In his point of view a person who is old can be as attractive as a person that is young. According to him age does matter in some cases for where a person is older than him at about five or six years because he makes a big deal of this because he cares about their maturity wise.

People get questioned if beauty really matter when it comes to age, and as a result it turns out that it actually does matter in some cases. Only in ways of maturity and some physcial views. The reason is because of the fact that maturity depends on the persons age whether they are old or young/ mature or immature. i have asked someone what is there definition of the word beautiful. The person that i have interviewed was Robert Fuentes, and his response to what is his defintion of the word beautiful was "Beautiful is something that you can completely look at and be amazed either physically or mentally". Beauty has no limit whether it comes to an age but it does play a big role. There has been kids,babies,old people and some middle aged people that has been called beautiful. I have asked my client if he believes my statement and his response was no, so i oppposed a question such as " Are 40-50 year old people that look young" and my client answered "They are blessed", but once again everything depends on maturity.

Key things that show that age plays a role are things such as voices, body sizes, face structure, height, and weight. I have asked my client if those things really do matter when trying to find a partner and my client said "yes because of the fact that beauty may come in many different ways"  I  agreed with what he said. My client told me that he considered the age of 40 old and someone young is 20 years old.  My biggest question was if it was possible to see something unattractive beautiful, which Robert said " it is possible". 

In conclusion my client said that age does matter and beauty comes with age which age comes in time.  

Sex Age Range

Women of different age levels have different preferences and work differently sexually when it comes time for the "bedroom wrestling." According to my article "Sexy at Every Age" there are an age range of diferrent women varying from their 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's of details of what their sex life is like around this age and the challenges that come with them. The definition of beauty is undefined but there are attributs that contribute toward it in this its the beauty of sex that comes with the age. The Women sex studies in the article all had different outcomes leading that it really depends on what a person wants from the other a woman in her 50's a bit wrinkly and saggy but who's good in the sack or a young 20 year old who hardly orgasms.

Carlos Barrientos

I interviewed someone who possibly would be of "interest" judging because of my personal relationship with him, my older brother. He is 27 years of age and has a girlfriend of 3 years less of his and has a 8 year old son. I started off with the question " What is beautiful to you?" His response was completely blunt and foreseen it was " Beautiful is basically if a girl looks good or if she is hot." i followed up with the question "does age matter when it comes to beauty?" He responded with " Most definitely ." I thought about how he was going to respond to the next question which was " if he were to prefer an older or younger and why?" As predicted he said yes to younger because older women look wrinkly, saggy, and it's just weird. So I asked "do you even consider older women to be attractive?" Immediately he brings up people like Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez to his conclusion of yes. My final question was " Why say older women can be beautiful and still pick a younger mate?" His answer was simple" I only brought up Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez because they are old but LOOK YOUNG." The key word is look young, so obviously he thinks that with age comes certain key features such as the physical look of one , the younger you look the more attractive you will be is his view on beauty.
