Is it normal for ex boyfriends to downgrade?

Uh, okay, so my ex has a new girlfriend. Good for him, right? Well, that's what I thought until I saw her pictures... I'm 19, he's 25, she looks like she's in her mid-late 30's, and her hands look like they belong to a fifty year old. Worse, she has long (painted) yellow finger nails, and judging by ALL of her pictures, she doesn't do her hair. It really looks like it's never been brushed, just tied back. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I'm really not. I'm really confused right now, because I keep myself up (go to the gym, get my nails done, do my eyebrows, always do my hair, some makeup). So I guess I want want to know how someone can be attracted to me -and- to her, because it makes no sense to me. I mean, she doesn't have an ugly face or anything, but she has wrinkles and obviously doesn't keep herself in check. Oh, we also have nothing in common appearance wise (I have curves and she doesn't really, we have different eye and hair colors, different skin tones.)
Someone enlighten me on this, please.

    Get over yourself. Judging by your reaction, he probably left your looks for her personality

    She is most likely better looking than you but your arrogance blinds you to the truth. He UPGRADED dear. I know it hurts, but its true.

    Maybe her personality poops all over yours. If you know you're fit, work on your persona. Seems to be lacking..

    My ex did this, too. Went for someone 12 years younger than him (I'm 7 years younger), chunky and just average looks. She, however, makes him happy. Nothing to do with looks (tho he thinks she's gorgeous), but he's so happy now. I'm happy we broke up so he could find the love of his life!!!

    Your vanity is a very poor substitute for her superior sexual performance. Girl, she KNOWS how to handle her man in bed.

    Your first problem is "my ex...." If it's your ex, who cares, move on. There could be a million reasons. Given the age difference though between you and her, mid 30's...I'm guessing sexual experience and frequency. I'm not saying that to be mean. But a lot of younger "18-27" women think because they look hot, men should want to be with them. But if he has a high sex drive, or just sort of wild in that area, or wants to experiment, women in in their 30's are "generally speaking" so much more experienced and less inhibited. They also hit their peak at 33 or so. Or it could be like everyone else said, just a different personality that he likes. Best advise is, stop worrying about him and go get a new boyfriend.

    Beauty is only skin deep, she is prolly a really nice, funny etc. Person... Perhaps he feels too insecure to go out with someone amazingly pretty right now?

    You cant really tell by just photographs. The way someone carries themself can be a big deal.

    Maybe it was never your look that he was attracted to. Maybe it was something in your personality that he liked, and he found that in her too. That's probably why your looks don't match up.

    Sounds like mister man got confused. Why would someone date their mom's friend? Whatever girl. I'm sure you're beautiful so go find a man that deserves you and not some nasty old piece of leather!!
