Some people are of the opinion that women really become women only when they turn thirty. At that time, they should also fully accept themselves and stop bothering themselves (at least somewhat) with social standards. And it's okay to leave our twenties behind... Especially all those things that we once thought were so damn sexy, but today are sad at best. And what are those things?
What things are sexy when we're 20 and sad when we're 30?
An occasional cigarette
We in no way advocate smoking, let alone encourage it. But maybe we can understand when a twenty-year-old girl occasionally lights up a cigarette because she so desperately wants to give the impression that she's already grown up. When we're young, we're just 'stupid'. If you still light up a cigarette at 30, then you no longer look innocent and sexy. In fact, you are almost certainly addicted to nicotine.
Unbalanced behavior
Young people can often appear quite sexy with their unbalanced behavior and can allow themselves to behave more foolishly. When we're in our twenties, this kind of behavior can be kind of chic, 'mixed chic'. By the time we're in our thirties, this kind of behavior indicates serious mental instability.
Absence from work due to a hangover
When we're in our twenties, missing work to party isn't so pathetic. And the twenties are precisely those years when it is right to 'go crazy'. When we're in our thirties, being away from work because of a hangover is a sign that we're lazy and anything but serious. Grown people go to work even if their heads are pounding and their mouths are as dry as the Sahara.
Excessive uncertainty
Excessive insecurity is understandable in the twenties, the constant affirmation that we are beautiful, too. Questions such as "Do I look fat?", "Does this color suit me?", "Am I stupid, ugly, untalented?", are quite common, but also normal. If it's happening in the thirties, it doesn't have an iota of charm. Women in their thirties know they don't need other people to tell them they look good. They know that themselves.
False confidence
Maybe it's the regular posting of various gifs, photos or statuses on social networks, where we want to show the world how much we don't care about everything and that we don't give a damn what anyone thinks about us, in our twenties cuties. But if we promote this false self-confidence even in our thirties, it is quite sad. This is the time to realize that vulnerability is bold and false confidence is boring.

But some things are just as sexy in your twenties as in your thirties:
- crop cannon
- tattoos
- passionate, romantic friendships
- table dance
- rebellious spirit
- ripped jeans
- to be sexy
- sex on the first date
- active profile on social networks
Life doesn't get terrible in your thirties. There's no need to have everything planned, and there's no end to the fun and mistakes. Maybe it's just time to stop being sexy jerks and just be sexy.
