We analyzed what we consider the 5 most significant factors relating to a woman's prime age (happiness, sex appeal, health, etc).
We calculated an age for each factor, then took the average for all of them to find out exactly what age a woman's prime is.
The process for how we reached this outcome is fully detailed below. Here are the variables assessed:
We surveyed 387 respondents and asked when they consider a woman is in her prime. The result calculates weighted averages based on each range's midpoint.
Prime perceived age: ~ 32 years old.
A Woman's Prime by Men/Women | |||
---|---|---|---|
Male | Female | Total | |
20s | 51.5% | 34.7% | 43.2% |
30s | 40.2% | 47.2% | 43.7% |
40s | 5.2% | 15.5% | 10.3% |
50s | 2.1% | 2.6% | 2.3% |
60s+ | 1% | 0% | 0.5% |
We are basing our answer here on the WPO aggregate below. We adjusted it to 18, commonly considered as the beginning of womanhood.
Prime happiness age: ~ 18 years old
After taking an average of these five factors, we have concluded that a woman's prime age is 29 years old.
Of course, this assessment is far from perfect. These variables aren't the only ones that matter. Also, each one is weighed evenly, which may not be optimal.
In addition, it may be debatable to include "perception."
However, we felt it was necessary due to how well attractiveness relates to someone's prime. The ability to find a partner should be considered.
Overall, what people believe to be the "prime" is largely backed up by the data.
