h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, men tend to favour young women.

I know I like 'em. And I'm not a man.

Michael Palin's a bit of a babe - and seems like a decent guy too

He does - very much a gentleman.

Here's an abstract one - Carlos Sainz (10 points for those who know who he is and what he does!!!). Sort of a Spanish version of Pierce Brosnan in looks.

Mind you, Pierce Brosnan...

Off the find the cold shower now!

He's not very old, though, is he?

And I know full well that he's a rally driver. There are some men left on this thread, you know.

B

"By Master B's standards, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp seem to be 'old' people...

Azara


(38, 39 and 40 respectively)"


"Well, technically, they are.

I think it's easy to forget that movie stars AGE.

Mmm. All three are, indeed, gorgeous men...by the way... "


I could almost handle middle aged as a description but "old"! My Granny only conceded she was GETTING old at 89. She's almost 97 now. If Keanu and I are old, what does that make Granny?!

BTW: I think the three of them are pretty yummy too. And don't forget Patrick Stewart who may actually be getting closer to actually being old!

You can still call people 'old by your standards', though, can't you? A few people have admitted on this thread that their other half is 'old'.

I would class someone aged 35 as pretty old _for my tastes_, but if my Dad - aged 50 - said he fancied them, he'd be a lecherous old git.

B

I hope you weren't refering to me then B, I think Bruce would be on the side if he heard you describe him as old, and you *know* you don'y want to get into a pissing contest with him

Patrick Stewart- I saw him with *hair* yesterday

I was deliberately trying not to refer to you.

Patrick Stewart with hair? On his head - not just on his chin?

B

Yes but Saturnine said "technically they are". Technically? You just seemed be amazed at how much older than you the women you fancied were. The feeling the statement gives makes a big difference. You might have made me feel old but Sat told me I was and with such an old Granny and parents in their seventies who get surprised when they are described as old I find it odd to have someone stating so definitely that 38 is old.

I'm only just 24...anything 40+ is getting to be old for me! (My dad is 51).

Carlos Sainz is (I believe) 37, Pierce Brosnan heading for 50...

Keanu Reeves still looks comparatively young, though.

There must be some big 'switch' that happens about the age of 23-24 when you stop fantasising over you childhood crushes, and start fancying people younger than you again.

Master 'Can't believe he's 2 years older than Britney' B

I have no idea when it happens but I know I'm still rapt in my younger man (the whole of 3 years). I've never really managed a successful relationship with anyone more than a couple of years older than me but I think that has more to do with luck than anything else.

I can't think of any sexy old men to get us back on topic.

Let's have Michael Palin again then.





I wish!

On his head. Playing Sejanus in I, Claudius.

Unfortunately at my age "older women" means The Queen, Margaret Thatcher and Germaine Greer.
Not so much "off for a cold shower" more "off to commit Hara Kiri"

Don't remember him in that - he's better looking now than in his Monty Python days.

You're right about that. Some men definitely improve with age! Sean Connery, another example.

Umm, we seem have crossed wires here- I was telling B that Patrick Stewart had hair playing Sejanus. Michael Palin wasn't in I, Claudius...

I was wondering about the "on his head" part.

That must be why I don't remember him being in it then.
