Yum Older Guy!

so i thought i would share how attractive i find the older guy (lol.. 2 years older) aka Single Dad aka Chef....


Beside the extra pounds around the middle... he's a very attractive guy. And when i talk to him, yes, my mind is stimulated... so, now i see what you all have been talking about with a guy who has some life experience other than drinking at bars and partying.


I like the older look he has... ya, i'm kinda getting smitten. Am i going thru a change.. hmmm maybe? Used to be i just loved the baby face, young hottie... But now i'm becoming attracted to the older, distringuished look.... 38 isn't old but considering that is at least 10 years older than my average over the past 2 years.... I just find that number sexy. Maybe i've finally gotten tired of the younguns and finally see them as a waste of time. But don't get me wrong... those were some FUN time wasters!

As an, eh hem, older woman (birth certificate says 44, brain says 27), I still can't say I find 55+ all that attractive, but I do find that if the brain and personality are good, I can overlook a lot. I have a date tomorrow with a guy who 10 years ago I would have said NO WAY, but he seems smart, likes the same music as me (weird, eclectic tastes), same politics, a little bit sarcastic...and has a job. A real job. He's cute enough, I say. Better to have good conversation than worrying about a hottie who has fifteen women after him and he knows it.

Amazing what becomes important as you get older.

i suppose i can't say that i prefer one over the other... i guess after my divorce, it was my plan to have a 10+ yrs younger boyfriend and say "ya, i traded YOU in for a younger model"... maybe it was just fun knowingn that i could still attract the hotties. But after MM and how intellectual he is.. i almost can't go back to the brainless brute. But this is loonybunny, and anything is still possible.


Hope you have a great time on your date... look forward to reading the report.

I think the last few men you've talked to have opened your eyes about matching on more of an intellectual level instead of just drooling over the looks. You're finding that you're much more interested in what they're saying, than just their hotness.

Yes, being hit on is flattering, and you can STILL relish in that a little, but you don't need to push for it. Case in point: I was on the bus Thursday going to work, and there was a Jake Gyllenhaal look alike that kept checking me out. I felt so good just knowing he was looking at me, I didn't need to talk or flirt with him to absorb that at all!

Good for you. I say older is definitely sexy. I have never been attracted to someone as heavily as I am Duck Fan (eight years older) due to his personality and intelligence even though I have dated more mainstream attractive people. Sometimes it just clicks. Good luck!

OK, as one of the 'older' women around here, I'm really gonna show my age and ask 'who is Jake Gyllenhaal??

He's been in tons of movies - Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain (probably his best known movie), Jarhead (hence the shaved head in the second photo with his sister, Maggie), Zodiac, Rendition, and he'll be in The Prince of Persia when it comes out. He dated Kirsten Dunst for a while, and now he's dating Reese Witherspoon. There, now you're all up to speed. =-)

I haven't seen any of those movies, but seeing his picture doesn't do anything for me either.
