Self-presentation operates on a developmental curve that most commentary ignores entirely; the assumption being that attractiveness is a property of youth, refined through effort, and gradually surrendered to time. The more interesting possibility (and one supported by a growing body of work in developmental psychology) is that the magnetic version of a person often arrives considerably later, and for reasons that have almost nothing to do with aesthetics.
