Before we begin, huge shout-out to @BucketCrab for his detailed thread on the Male Archetypes Spectrum. I highly recommend checking it out to determine where you fall. Your face can lie between two archetypes—this is completely normal. So, adjust your age range accordingly.

Thank you for reading this so far or if you DNR. Open for criticism.
@Master, can this make it to BOTB please?

- This post is about the age range where your face will look the most attractive objectively based on your archetype. It is not about your slaying time with foids, as your SMV comes into play in the latter case. The two are separate—don’t confuse them.
- If you're living a typical normie lifestyle, this won’t apply to you. In such a case, your prime is usually between 18–24, unless you have strong anti-aging traits (robust skull, solid under-eye support, high facial dimorphism, etc.).
- If you're planning to hardmax, then again, this may not fully apply.
- This post assumes you're doing basic softmaxxing(no makeup included BTW) and living a healthy, balanced life:
- Good sleep (7–8 hours daily)
- Clean diet
- Regular exercise
- Minimal partying
- Proper work-life balance
- Consistent grooming and self-care
If that’s you—this post is for you.
- Keep in mind: if your prime is between 20–25, it doesn’t mean you'll suddenly jump 2 points on the 1-10 looks scale at 20 or drop 3 points at 26. There will be a ±0.5 point deviation at the edges. But after your prime, aging kicks in gradually, and things will become noticeable as each year passes by.
Archetype-wise Prime Age Ranges
1. Cutecel (15–21)
- You’re likely to age badly after college.
- Biggest advantage? You might be the cutest guy in your class—lock in your sweetheart now, while real love still exists in pure form.
- Remember: every coin has two sides.
2. Prettyboy (16–24)
- The best archetype for enjoying your youth.
- If you’re reading this and you're a Prettyboy—log off and go live life. This time won’t come again. Come back when you’re 25—JFL.
- After exploring, secure a relationship—don’t wait too long. Collagen reaper is coming for you.
3. Robust Prettyboy + Maesthetic (21–35)
- Grouped together because most Robust Prettyboys evolve into Maesthetic types.
- You need:
- High-set or robust cheekbones
- Strong under-eye support
- High facial dimorphism
- Or a solid mix of these
- These features slow down aging.
- If you haven’t started a family by 36, that’s on you. You had 15 damn years.
4. Dom (25–40)
- You bloom later. Plan your life accordingly.
- This is your era to outshine your normie peers—even the married ones. You’ll look younger than most.
5. Ogre (30–40)
- Again, plan accordingly.
- You won’t be conventionally attractive, but you can still make the most of it.
- Focus more on parameters enhancing your SMV other than looks.
