Is it normal to become more photogenic with increasing age?

I'm 35, and as a dude, feel proud to say that I have never looked any better in my entire life. It's been a long, arduous, painful struggle but today, young girls compliment me on my looks all the time, almost to the point of flattery. They never paid me even 1% of the attention when I was in my 20s.It's humbling to note these gradual changes in your personality, I really seem to personify LATE BLOOMER theory. I'm single. The friends I grew up with, now have a wife and two screaming kids, and a mortgage. I just got started enjoying women, so no hurry to settle down, I must play the field to my heart's content.

Call me a narcissist but I have had serious infeririority issues with my appearance throughout my 20s. I used to be wiry thin, with a dorky glasses look common to boring men. My clothes never fit properly. I couldn't even start a conversation with girls out of fear of rejection. My male friends who had more experience and far more cunning, would often play me for a chump, spend on their drinks and laugh behind my back.

My Facebook profile was the worst. I used to be camera shy, and didn't have a single noteworthy picture because I just didn't know how to face the cameras.

All that is history now. The advent of smartphones has been a blessing for me. They helped improve my self-image. I started experimenting with selfies since 2012. The inner nerd trapped inside was clearly evident in the beginning, and people would laugh at my selfies taken from unusual angles. I was mocked as a try-hard but thanks to those hundreds, probably thousands of experiments, I have been able to perfect the selfie. I changed cameraphones frequently until I got my hands on a Sony Xperia. Currently I use a Moto Razr. Most late model smart phones in my experience, are equally good for capturing great selfies.

My selfie vanity project made me so confident with the cameras that I now don't even have to try posing in a group photo. My expressions are natural, I can vary them from a wide-grinned smile to a studious look as per the mood of the day. My taste in fashion now reflects the true sense of my being. Dressing up correctly for the occasion comes naturally to me. Confident. Alpha male. Whatever you want to call it.

In summary, my attempts at being more photogenic is what has compelled me to improve my generation appearance even when I'm not facing a camera. This has clearly had great impact in my interactions with people, especially attractive women. They can spot the confidence from a mile. It feels natural and effortless even though a lot of actual effort was spent on this drastic transformation.

So, how did I get started? There was a time everyday I used to look myself in the mirror and saw a handsome young man. I used to wonder why I couldn't get the same vibes on a camera film. It's when someone told me, "A camera never lies. A mirror always does." Those were magical words. Clearly, there was nothing wrong with a camera. It was me falling short of the benchmark.
