No I do not look like Jonny Depp, I only said I am built like him - rather small framed and very average in height. I go to the gym regularly so I am a little more muscular. If what people say about body composition is mostly genetic is true, I guess I can understand why certain women find me appealing.
I just don't understand why so many women found Johnny Depp handsome, hot, or whatever words they like to use. He is so .... to me.
I think he's a great actor. He's also very humble and seem to have a great personality. He's only 5'10" and everything about him is just average. I think people like him because he gave average guys hope that you don't have to have a great body to make people swoon. Johnny Depp has a good personality, massive talents, and charisma. That is about it.
Some studies show neither men nor women find an older face attractive.
In one study, 394 men and women, of varying sexual preferences (heterosexual, bisexual, and gay), ranging in age from 16 to 73 were shown 32 pictures of people in 4 age groups. The pictures were of faces that were attractive and unattractive, smiling and neutral expression.
Result: Men and women all rated younger looking faces as more attractive.
While women didn’t rate a potential sexual partner differently than a non sexual partner, men showed a clear preference for a youthful sexual partner.

Sorry, I couldn't paste the graphs. There were 4 age ranges of the pictures used:
1) 18-29.9 years, 2) 30-44.9 years, 3) 45-59.9 years, 4) 60-78 years.
I've read some posts here where in online dating guys 10 years and much older message women a lot. I consider online dating not very representative in real life because it's so impersonal and much easier to ask someone out online than in person.
So do you women get guys much older and close to your father's age flirting or asking you out in person? Please exclude internet dating experiences where it's much easier.
He was looking for someone that was naive, would look at him in a less critical eye, and could be more easily controlled. Had this guy dated women dated women closer to his own age, I think they would have been better at deducing he wasn't what he appeared, or sold himself to be.
I have seen this a LOT, sadly enough. I know so many young women who wasted a year or 4 with an older guy who, anyone with more life experience could see, was a manipulative loser.
Part of the dynamic in those relationships is that he isolates her from her friends and family early on, so they are not around to warn her. We only find out after she leaves him.
Always! It seems that once I left high school and lived on my own, I've been a magnet for men at least 10 years older than me. Men within 5 years of my age up or down rarely have wanted anything to do with me. And I don't like it one bit It makes me wonder, "Gee, do I really look that old for my age?"
Next time, I should just ask them if they have a son (or grandson) that they could introduce me to.
...but then you would have a sexist perv for a father in law...
