A new study has found that, rather than ageing being a negative thing, men continue to increase in attractiveness up until the age of 50.

The study was published in the journal Science Advances and looked at people's interactions on a major online dating site using the same algorithms that Google uses.

The most popular person on the site was a 30-year-old New York woman, who had interactions every half hour in a 24-hour period.

However, the study also found that in contrast to men, women's attractiveness was highest at age 18.
