“Look at me, chopping ice like a field hand…”

The show is endlessly quotable

The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

— Benjamin Franklin, Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress, 1745.

Ahhh, dirty old Ben! He knew a thing or two about seduction and sex. And he never let age get in the way of a good time.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

As a scientist, he knew to do his field work.

I'm sure he made sure to have a good sample size to support that quote.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

The rate at which he went through French Courtesans alone would have been enough.

A rich old broad just needs to wave a “free rent and game consoles” sign and she’ll have a lineup of hunky college guys

Hahhaha sugar baby is in for one helluva shock when that gmilf passes and leaves everything to a cat shelter.

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

Well, at lest you got some good blowjobs along the way.

[-] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 56 minutes ago

She'll probably leave behind her dentures so he can always recreate the sensation when he misses her.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 5 points 8 hours ago

Onto the next one 🤷

To be fair that's a mighty fine lady.

Is no one buying his "Get Rich Quick" course?

ngl men dating people their age would be a nice change

cause the situation now is really hammering home that if men could go lower, they would. 20 was the minimum age in that study.
Picture of a graph titled "Ages of Partners Men & Women Find Most Attractive". The data for women shows they tend to find people their age (or a bit younger) most attractive, while the data for men shows that no matter their age, they all tend to find partners around 20 most attractive.

[-] jmill@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 hours ago

That chart isn't of "how low" the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn't great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.

Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.

[-] arrow74@lemmy.zip 56 points 13 hours ago

You just made a lot of assumptions not supported by the science.

All this shows is physical attraction. When shown pictures of random women to then rate the physical attractiveness of.

That's it. Nothing about who these men actually wanted to date. Someone can be very physically attractive to you and you can simultaneously not want to date them.

Yep, talk to a 10/10, then opens her mouth saying she wants to vote for Trump and completely flaccid. I suspect the reverse also happens.

men and women can date whomever they want at any age of an adult. its actually sexist to men says they cant.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 8 hours ago

Eww, I really don't want someone fresh out of high school. What are they going to do with some school girl?

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 5 hours ago

Have sex with them, you dork

[-] DireTech@sh.itjust.works 37 points 14 hours ago

Attractive or actually want to date? I’m guessing porn stars are all around that age, but I have trouble believing the average 40 year old guy wants to date a 20 year old. Or maybe they only quizzed the older guys who like to hang out in bars?

I’m over 40 and imagine even 10 years younger would be hard to deal with.

[-] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

This is ageism. As an also over 40 if you're not making friends and considering romantic partners outside of Gen X you are denying the world and steadily losing touch with society. Enjoy senility if you keep on this bigoted path!

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 4 points 2 hours ago

I'm 48 and my wife is 10 years younger. We have been together for 10 years. We are happy together and have enough in common to really enjoy each other's company. We also have enough not in common to be able to give each other space. Milage varies for everyone, for sure, but at least in our case the age difference has meant nothing.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Wait, you would not date me? Really? What do they got, that I don't?!?

(I don't actually want to date a guy, just jealous)

No, most of us eventually turn into vinaigrette. Just toss me into some twenty year old girl's salad when it's my time.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 41 points 18 hours ago

Oof.

I (a man who doesn't date me) personally feel like past five or so years in either direction it tends to rapidly fall off. Look weird and hard to relate to.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I've notived that Yanks are really into this, a meme circulating was that anyone with their age starting with 2 has no business dating anyone with their age starting with 1. Lmao

[-] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 50 minutes ago

So you're saying a 200 year old can't date a 100 year old?

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 minutes ago

Half your age +7 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 31 points 18 hours ago

I dated a girl much younger than me and it was ass. Literally couldn't talk about anything interesting (to me). Dated a way older girl and it was so chill, also best sex I've had. Though if I were to choose (let's be honest, I don't get much choice) I would pick 1 or 2 years younger than me at most

[-] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Same! When I was 27 I saw a girl that was 22. After seeing her for two days I just couldn't take it anymore. She was way too immature for me. It felt like I was dating a kid...

To be fair I was also very immature at the age of 22. But I really don't get men who date much younger women.
