What part of a woman's body never stops growing?

Our noses and ears are unique compared to the rest of our bodies because they're composed of soft tissue enveloped in cartilage. And it's this soft tissue that keeps growing throughout our entire lives.

Hint: They're both on your head.

nd3000/ShutterstockAfter your parents have ticked off the last mark on your childhood growth chart, after you’ve stopped outgrowing shoes, and when the horrors of puberty are a distant memory, you may think it’s safe to claim that you’ve “stopped growing.” But there are two significant parts of your body that apparently didn’t get the memo. Once the growth of the rest of your body has slowed to a stop, your nose and your ears continue increasing in size. (So does that make it… three body parts that never stop growing?) Find out about 8 strange body parts and their surprising purposes. Dr. Ryan Neinstein, a plastic surgery practitioner at NYC Surgical Associates and Neinstein Plastic Surgery, explains what makes these two facial features different from the rest of your body. Dr. Neinstein describes how the multiplication of our cells drives the growth of our bodies. “Most cells in our body stopped multiplying at puberty,” Dr. Neinstein told Reader’s Digest. When the cells throughout our bodies, such as bone, muscle, and fat cells, stop duplicating, we stop growing. This doesn’t mean that cells themselves can’t get larger (they can; it’s how we build muscle) or shrink (they can; it’s how we burn fat). But most of them stop dividing, and in most parts of our body, “the number of cells is ‘locked in'” after puberty, says Dr. Neinstein. Here are some body parts you’re not washing enough. Our noses and ears are unique compared to the rest of our bodies because they’re composed of soft tissue enveloped in cartilage. And it’s this soft tissue that keeps growing throughout our entire lives. “When you look at someone when they’re 80 vs. when they’re 20, they’ll have more cells in their ears and nose,” Dr. Neinstein says. If you’ve noticed that some older people seem to have larger ears and noses, well, this is why. And no, it’s not just “drooping” due to gravity. Dr. Neinstein says that noses and ears grow up as well as down. Don’t miss these body parts that are younger than you think. If you’re wondering why hair and nails don’t make the list of body parts that don’t stop growing, Dr. Neinstein has an explanation for that, too. Hair and nail growth, he says, is genetic and differs for everyone; for instance, baldness is hereditary. While continued ear and nose growth is consistent, the situation of hair and nails is “not as clear-cut,” Dr. Neinstein says. (No pun intended.)

What age do men find most attractive?

businessinsider.com - Guys Like Women In Their Early 20s Regardless Of How Old They Get

It's a common cliche that older men chase much younger women, but charts from the book "Dataclysm" provide real evidence that men at every age are consistently most attracted to women in their early 20s. "Dataclysm" author and OkCupid co-founder Christian Rudder uses numbers from the dating site to show how women and men differ in the ages of the people they're attracted to. Men, regardless of their age, tend to say women in their early 20s look best, while women are most attracted to men their own age. To make these charts, Rudder looked at the preferences of OkCupid users. As you can see, a woman's taste in men typically evolves as she ages, while a man's taste in women stays the same no matter how old he gets. But there's another layer to this data. Although men at every age seem to be attracted to very young women, they most often message women who are closer to their own age. The age range of women men say they're most interested in tends to fall within their own age range:

The same goes for the women men message the most:

And hardly any men in their 30s message 20-year-old women:

Still, it's harder for women to find a mate as they get older. Rudder wrote in a blog post for OkCupid in 2010: "a man, as he gets older, searches for relatively younger and younger women. Meanwhile his upper acceptable limit hovers only a token amount above his own age." Charts reprinted from "Dataclysm: Who We Are When We Think No One's Looking." Copyright © 2014 by Christian Rudder.
