Is it normal for attractive people to become less attractive over time ?

I find it really strange how when I was in intermediate school & even high school I'd find some people really attractive as in pretty or handsome. In adult hood I've noticed a lot have lost their good looks! A girl I knew, I found very pretty- cute little dimples on either cheek, very petite features and now I look at pics of her and think what happened. I'm not trying to be mean, its just she's a bit chunkier now & lost most those small features. Same with some of the guys I found cute as, some of them are much bigger and just not really attractive anymore. A girl I used to have feelings for about 4-5 years ago (I'm 21 now ), I used to find super attractive and sexy in a way. Now, she's changed a lot, doesn't even have that awesome hair style she used to have either. is it normal and how does this happen in such a such a short time frame!?

    It's not them it's you. 20 years ago you were crawling on the floor, eating mashed pumpkin and crapping in your pants. Now you're walking, judging people by their 'awesome' hair styles and seem to find change unattractive? Maybe it's especially noticeable now because your peers are maturing and embracing change at a faster rate than your good self? Worry more about avoiding an unattractive, superficial future for yourself.

    And are you as attractive as you used to be at that age? It's called growing up and getting older, get used to it

        Actually many women think men get better looking as they age. Most boys and young men just don't have any character in their faces.

    Usually, yes but sometimes people look better with age. Like George Cloony

    As wigz says, you may be attracted to a certain age group.. teens. That's kinda.. normal.

    Also, you may be more attracted to the physical aesthetic over the personality. If this is the case, as you age yourself you will become more attracted to "that which is inside" over the physical.

    It is probably a bit of both. Just don't go dating teens.. as much as they are cute as F... you are more mature now and this will continue. You get older, teens are always the same age. :P

      How do you mean I'm attracted to the physical aesthetic? Do you mean physical appearance?

        Yes. Purely a physical attraction.

    Maybe you're just attracted to a specific age group. That's a thing.
