    Hot to a 24 year old? No. Hot to a 40+ year old ABSOLUTELY! It's relative to who you feel you want to be "hot" to. AND it's also attitude.

    Young men find cougars hot all the time. I don't know what the appropriate term is for a cougar-chaser. Cub? Too lazy to google.

    True, but they are far and few between.

    Seek and ye shall find.

    Yes, all the way. There are many actors who are over the age of 50 and are stunning. Although they do have the money for resources that many of us do not, they still have to age. My mother is 62 and she is absolutely beautiful, she makes me feel old sometimes when people ask us if we are sisters. lol. Really though beauty is within us. I am 42 and have decided that I am going to age gracefully. I absolutely refuse to let the aging process control my life, I will control it and enjoy every moment of my life.

    I understand where you're coming from as I've had many female employees disgusted by the 30+ year olds hitting on them, but once you're 30 or above age doesn't matter as much. :)

    I will say my Mother is 47 she is very attractive and often gets asked her age and people don't believe she is a mother to 5 adults and a grandmother to 7. My Dad on the other hand gets annoyed as young guys always check her out lol

    Okay. I am sorry. But I just have to weigh in with some truth. Women can. Yes. Definitely. Of course. My wife is a babe. But, men? Not so much.
    I used to play soccer in a league where all the players had to be over 40 years old.
    If you saw my soccer friends during the week, dressed in their suits, you would think: 'Man, that is one super-fit dude! He's lookin good."
    But, on Sunday, in their soccer kit, they looked like the characters from the old Andy Capp cartoon. Little bellies. No butt. Skinny legs.
    Men just lose the testosterone and they do not sustain the same muscle mass.
    No guy over 35 years of age (maybe 40 years) has any business walking around without a shirt on, except maybe at the pool. It is just never a pretty sight, especially when compared to a 25-year-old guy.
    Can an older guy stay in great shape? Yes. Can he look like an Adonis? No. No way.
    I have no idea how Sylvester Stallone looks the way he seems to look, at his age. Steroids? Special effects? One of those. The movies are a whole different donkey.

    I beg to differ there. I have had my share of mid-20's guys hit on me. I'll be 50 next month. I have never considered myself "hot" but I must be doing something right. :wink:

    "Hot" is an ever-changing perception.
    When I was a girl, I was attracted to boys. Now that I am a woman, I am attracted to men. Personally, I no longer find guys in their 20s to be "hot"...they are "cute." And athough I will be almost 40 on my next birthday, the only Man I care about attracting still thinks I'm "hot."

    Wrong.

    My husband looks fantastic without his shirt on. I live on the beach, and I can tell you that men in their 40s rock it here. Moreso than a lot of these 25-year-old guys that come here on vacation.

    In fact, over dinner last night, the 21 year old waitress gushed over how good looking my husband is. He wasn't in a suit, but was sporting a beat-up t-shirt that's ever so slightly too snug (sigh...)

    In fact, men in their 40s are way hotter than men in their 20s when they work out and take care of themselves.

    There's a difference though between being attractive and being hot.
