Most of us are probably from generations for which that is a drawback. Apparently it’s a big plus these days.


In the 80s it was a big plus too. Nothing new.


Prince, George michael, River Phoenix all had somewhat fem looks and were considered hot. It may be more extreme now but ehatever. Young girls historically have liked more soft fem looks anyway — it’s less rheeatenijg and more approachable than a very alpha masculine look for a guy.


River Phoenix wasn't really girly, he just died really young so never got to be manly looking. The other two were definitely metros and fem, and gave many girls the ick back then.


+1 no one thought Prince was “hot” by any means.


I actually had a friend in high school who did. Purple Rain times. I didn't understand it, but to each his/her own.


OMG yes. I never really got it myself, but lots of my friends thought he was hot.

Both my girls love Shawn Mendes - and I have a dirty old lady crush on him.

As for older actors, I posted about watching Buffy with my daughter during the pandemic (she was 14/15 at the time) and she went crazy over Angel. Just like her mom when the show originally aired! I don’t know if she’s seen his other roles, although I know my parents watch bones reruns at my house. It might just be specifically Angel during the Buffy years

I introduced her to NKOTB, and she likes present day Joe. She also thinks his son is pretty cute.

And this is 100% going to outme, but I showed her videos 90s era Better Than Ezra and she said the lead singer had great hair. I told you, chick! She has now attended a couple recent shows with me and loved it.

lol, are you an old man yourself? No, they don’t like older men. There’s literally hundreds of TikToks where teen girls rate celebrity men from the 90s/00s and they all rank them a 3-4.

The closest thing nowadays to a teen heartthrob are KPop stars like BTS.

But now teen girls gravitate more to Influencers. I follow some MaskTok, BikeTok, and Cosplay guys, and most of their following are teenage girls. Those guys are usually in the early-mid 20s range.


The age gap in dating has widened in recent years. Many zoomers and younger millennials are dating older millennials or Xennials and Gen X now.

They love the actor and I think this is weird, from quiet Place day one and he’s also in Stranger Things as that super senior guy I can remember his name… But I’ve seen him for a long time in British dramas and he always plays a little bit of a creepy guy?

They sort of love, Timothy Chalamet, but they’re a little young for him and it’s a little bit of a joke.

They love, Tom Holland, a.k.a. Spider-Man

When I show old videos, they die over Heath ledger, oh and a huge one for middle schoolers is all the guys from the outsiders. They really love pony boy, Curtis, a.k.a. Ralph Macchio.


Pony Boy was played by C. Thomas Howell in "The Outsiders".

Ralph Machio was portraying "Johnny", which turned out to be the name of his nemesis in "The Karate Kid", perhaps the greatest movie ever made besides "Harold and Maude" according to Pat Healy.

Are you an old guy posting wishfully? Because statistically dating and marriage age gaps have gotten smaller, not wider.

Cope. They have remained the same mostly but slightly widened.

You are out of touch with modern times.
