CONFESS! Lounge ladies "of a certain age"--ever crush on someone younger?

Oh halp halp please I feel like a total pev. I am an old phart, yet I have developed a silly crush on a guy (not IRL, thank goodness--an actor) young enough to be my son (for real, not "if I gave birth when I was 13" kind of thing), probably because in my head I'm still 16 or thereabouts. :blush:

Please, Lounge ladies, share your cradle-robbing crushes and reassure me I'm not alone in this shameful situation! It'll make me feel better. Please? :evilgrin:

Had a fine, hot, smokin' good time over one summer with a lad of 22. I was 38. No regrets. It's just a number. :evilgrin:

:applause: Good on ya!

I was 18. Like I said, just a number. It's what's inside that counts. :hi:

I thought my teenybopper TV crush days were over. Apparently not...UGH!

Well, at least I'm not chasing younger guys (or older guys or in-between guys) IRL. Mr. MG might have something to say about that! :hi:

Oh yes...

He was quite a lot younger...more than a decade!

But he was wise beyond his years...

Very sexy, attractive, and smart...

In every way except age (which is just a number) he was older...

You are definitely not alone here, sweetie!

:hug:

I can always count on you to respond with a supportive post! :hug:

I just want to know when my brain is going to stop being in teenager mode... :P

:P

I'll dig up a photo if you insist... :P

:D

I'll start with Tom Welling. Did I win??

I already called dibs!

MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Rest easy, DT. He's all yours! :P

I dunno if I could compete with you. :P

It's not Tom Welling; however, when I first saw Smallville, the dude did take my breath away. He is really gorgeous! The eyes, the cheekbones...ah...

HOLY HELL. :D

*sigh*

This picture was entitled "Tom Welling is one hot piece of ass" on Google Images. :rofl:

And you can't have him. :evilgrin:

:blush: :blush: :blush:



Dude is Scott Michael Foster (oh no--three names--he must be a REALLY YOUNG actor!) from Greek. I've gotten totally hooked on the show, watching the first season online.

Nice eyes. :)

Acting on the SHOW! Gitcher mind out of the gutter! :spank:

He's very charming--VERY--his Q rating must be through the roof. And he gives quite a nuanced performance in a series that's hardly "War and Peace"--his character is the Pied Piper of the partying fraternity, so he gets to be very clever and funny and crazy (and, often, drunk), yet he gets to pine for the female lead so very exquisitely. Plus he's the lead singer in a band IRL. What's not to love?

the rest have been younger. The youngest I have ever dated was 18 years my junior. I never lied about my age, so there were no secrets there. Had a great time, no regrets.

I just feel silly with an actor crush, which is a different animal altogether--I feel like it borders on the ridiculous!

I've had a crush on someone 18 years my junior...Does that help?

I think this guy is like 19 or 20 years younger. But he's just so CUTE. And I really like his TV character--very "fun". Oy vey I say!

but, I certainly can appreciate the cuteness/sexiness of any guy I see - no matter the age. Of course I mean 21 and above, that is.
The other day, my daughter and I were in my local favorite coffee house when a younger man came in. I said - "Hey - that guy is sure cute". My (31 yr. old) daughter looked and said - "Good grief - he's young. Probably not more than 23-24 tops".

That was too young for a 31 yr. old? Where does that leave me? Lascivious?

Good grief.

I just love watching the guy on his TV show. He's got a lovely spark (plus he's cute).

I think the age gap actually narrows as you get older. I mean, when I was 21, a guy who was 18 liked me, but I refused to date him because I thought he was too young. Can you believe it? Honestly, I really missed out on that one :smackshead:, but that was where my head was at, at the time. I think as you get older age ceases to matter so much.

Or we could just be pevs. :P

quite possibly the latter?

:evilgrin:

very close knit faculty. Everyone was friendly and we all hung out together on Friday nights. The man who taught 6th grade, Tom, was young, impossibly good looking, and came from a wealthy family. The third grade teacher, a 60-ish long-married (to a much older man) woman once confided in me that she thought Tom was "the sexiest man (she'd) ever seen" and she thought about him all the time.

I mean, with just my TV crush, I am so embarrassed! I can imagine lots of people keeping their younger/older crushes to themselves to avoid looking "silly". Your friend must have trusted you very much to share her secret with you!

We had the same, uh, focus. :D

I'm talking 19 or 20 years, here! AUGH!

and not begin to develop sexual feelings.



:hide:

... err... I mean... :yoiks:

and every now and then I make sure I take at least one step over it. :P

I just watched the most recent two HPs a couple of weeks ago and found myself getting all mushy over Harry. I had to snap myself out of it more than once! YIKES.

*fans self*

Seriously, look it up. :P

HEE HEE HEE!

He is totally gorgeous!


Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to post in this thread, must have made a wrong turn at GD...

I don't know what any of you are talking about, because I only viewed the first Harry Potter movie. Also because I'm male and completely clueless to the appeal of pretty much anything in the fantasy genre.

He's 31. I'm 47. Of course, I only appreciate him for his mind. Yeah, that's it.

Julie

Don't worry about it.

:P

:rofl:

edited for typo

On DU, it's totally understandable! :hi:

we'd be walking across campus and she once remarked to me how she sometimes felt like a lecherous old woman for looking at all the cute shirtless guys on campus :rofl:

It's difficult not to ogle in a situation like that!
:rofl:

Not only have I found much younger actors very attractive (not sure about 'crush'), but IRL I am incredibly fond of someone not quite young enough to be my son.

So Mr. MG doesn't get miffed. :evilgrin:

Prrrrrrrrr....nice ass, er I mean, pretty eyes.

I am reprehensible!

In my band, we have a little diddy called 'The Cougar' (bet you can't guess what it's about). Can I dedicate it to you Saturday night if we play it?

Knock y'self out! I've bared my soul for all to see--it's open season now!

It's an instrumental. No lie.

Even if I were single, that'd be crazy--for me, that is, as I'm not exactly a middle-aged hottie.

I'm only 28 so that means a median age of 23 (one was 18 and she pursued me.). If you're shameful then I'm shameful for dating a girl young enough to be in third grade when I graduated HS and I don't feel shame.

I tend to be a young 28 though...all my friends are 18-25. I do mean all of them too. Nature of my job. People don't believe me about my age. I'm baby-faced to boot.

Due to a nifty little genetic tendency courtesy of my mom's side of the family, I have never looked my age. Right now I tend to pass for seven to 10 years younger. Cool! I'll go with that! Thanks!
:rofl:

...which is my guilty pleasure for sure! Carter, Eric Strohmer, Chad Lopez, Simon Ley....yum yum, swing those tools, Boys!!!

Mmmm...Carter... :9

One of the most genetically blessed humans I've ever laid eyes on.

My cousin works for Trading Spaces. I've met Carter several times and hung out with him. He looks just like that IRL. He doesn't look real. I actually don't find him attractive IRL because he's TOO pretty, heh. He doesn't have any physical flaws, it's almost creepy. But he is the nicest guy, just the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet, and super cool with fans who approach him. Not too bright, though. :)

PERFECT!
:rofl:

Seriously, it's so great to hear that a person on TV or in the movies or in the music biz is actually nice.

I'm zoooo jealous! :hi:

and kind of savant-y, where his only and area of brilliance is carpentry. But that's the cool thing about a crush from far away, it's a fantasy, without that pesky reality (cute but dumb) intruding!

But look at it this way: cute, dumb, AND can remodel your kitchen. Who needs a brain with all that????

a brain the size of a walnut and a face that belonged on an angel.

I was forty-two and completely without scruples.

It was a fabulous summer.

I strongly suggest you write that up, with lots of heaving bosoms etc.!

I'll be arguing with her for the next year.

Shhhhhhhhh.

not by a long shot! i always like younger guys....men my age are soooo boring. the last great love of my life was 20 years younger!! whoo-hoo!!!

it's pretty hard to nudge them from their rut. You wanna go out, they wanna sit at home with the remote and a six-pack. (cool some of the time, but not consistently for the nex 35 years!) But even more so, guys my age still have some subconscious idea of Woman as June Cleaver or Woman as Marilyn Chambers, but not the same woman being both.

And certainly never seeing Woman as possibly smarter, stronger, more successful than they are.

Younger guys grew up post 70s feminism, and they have early memories of their mothers working, expressing their opinions, and once they got older, women calling the shots sexually. It's still hard for a lot of middle-aged guys to accept women without compartmentalising us.

:yoiks:

into a relationship. He was 12 years my junior; a fun and very buff carpenter and musician.

Only lasted three months, but I had a lot of fun during that time...:evilgrin:

younger than I was. I developed a temporary physical crush on him, but it passed after a couple of days.
