New poll shows women are most beatiful at age 31

This is great news for the large population of women that are dreading turning 30... and pretty depressing news for the even larger group of women that have already passed this age... 

In a survey of more than 2000 British men and women, pictures of younger looking women were rejected in favor of women pictured in their late 20s and early 30s.

The peak age of beauty was pin-pointed at 31 - the current age of Mrs. Tom Cruise (Katie Holmes), Nicole Scherzinger, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. 

Almost two-thirds of women questioned agreed that "with age, comes beauty", and more than half said they became more confident in their looks as they grew older.

(Confidence was also found to be important in defining beauty, versus just good looks.)

The study, conducted by TV shopping channel QVC, found London women were most confident about their looks, with 37% describing themselves as beautiful compared to 28% of women from Wales. (I would love to know the percentage of American women that are confident about their looks?)
