stuff wrote:In early years of Miss Universe teens had been winning a lot. Armi Kuusela and Christiane Martel were 17 when they won. Gloria Diaz was 18 when she won.
I guess during those times there is a huge preference of Youth over experience. The last few winners had been from women on pushing mid 20s and even late 20s doing better. Why do you think 18 to 19 years olds cannot win anymore?
Miss Universe age limit is now 28 and I heard they are even considering to make it older.
Why do you think older women does better these days?

I like mature women to be title holders because maturity will give some credibility to the title they hold. I can't imagine an 18-year olds giving speeches to people and talking about women empowerment, leadership ek ek and the audience listening are mature women or professional women.

Oldest batch of winners:
Pia (26) - known for being extremely charismatic, likeable, and never-say-die
Zozibini (26) - absolutely slaying it in public speaking
Leila (25) - seems pretty dull, odd one out here
Gabriela (25) - best-praised by Paula Shugart as a professional
Oxana (24) - felt abused by MUO and had the guts to tell them to f**k themselves
Iris (24) - seems generally likeable
Catriona (24) - super strong in speaking and charisma
Meanwhile the youngest batch of winners:
Amelia (18) - hated by her batch for being a bitch
Zuleyka (18) - I don't know if her bitchy reputation is real or due to anti-PuertoRican fans, but she did seem bitchy in 2007.
Stefania (18) - okay I guess
Denise (20) - seems mature and professional, odd one out here
Jennifer (20) - known much more for physical beauty than anything else
Riyo (20) - although I like her I'm not aware if she had any particular reputation in being mature or professional
Olivia (20) - won over Janine with a face to die for, then next few years kept trying to go showbiz with some weird career choices

India - strong chance
Cambodia - just hype
Australia - not a chance
Venezuela - no but most likely Top 10
Malaysia sent the weakest rep facially in Malaysian history.... well, not sure about the whole history but in recent years.

Like I said they're just my personal favorites because for some reason I find them truly adorable and and have pleasant personality, and I included Malaysia coz I'm Malaysian and I think Francisca is one beautiful full-blooded indigenous girl and she's a talented model. No need to get triggered just because I don't fancy your girl.
When we sent Kim Leggett a Filipino misso member said we were like cheating, a Latino member said she was Latina-wannabe...when we sent Chinese and Indians you people said our rep. were uninteresting. Gosh! You can't compare Francisca to the Asians who got their good looks from mixed-race parentage and err..boob job. This is the first time we sent a Dayak girl to Miss Universe in both Malaysia's and MUO's history, and correct me if i'm wrong but even Indonesia haven't though they have larger part of Borneo. If Francisca didn't place I'm satisfied hyping her. There's other facially average girls of this edition but hyped as potential winner!

Take Miss India 1984 Juhi Chawla for example who claims she was born in 1968 putting her at 16 when she competed in the competition. Or even Priyanka Chopra who was 17 when she won Miss India II in 2000. Girls married early those years and didn't look young for long. But I don't think there were a lot of 18 year olds winning the pageant back then.
As for the Trump era, you know why most of the winners were so young. Just 18 year olds. If it wasn't Trump's fetishes I don't know what else it is. High society men always have a preference for young women. Not necessarily sexual but it's the image they'd like to go with for their organization.
