It feels ick to like someone that age, but I don’t feel my age (46)
Its only an actor, not anyone in real life, but still seems so young at 27 and not a crush I’d usually have
Eurgh it’s depressing, seems not long ago that all crushes were older or at least the same age

What do fancy in this case means? There are many good looking people out there, young, younger , and older! I am not telling how old I am but I had a crush on an old man....not look, just something else

do you mean you have fantasies about them or they are just nice looking , according to your standard

Actor on TV who you have never met - fine.

Friend’s son - icky.

If it's only an actor on TV, what does it matter? It's just a little fantasy. Lots of people fancy actors in films who are dead in real life.

For me yes but my DS is 20 years younger !

Personally I do think it’s a bit gross yes, but I appreciate it’s legal.

I’m in my early 40s and anyone up to 30 seems like a kid brother.

No, it isn't gross. I'm 51, very happily married, fancy the pants off my 50 year old husband but can certainly appreciate the aesthetics of a 20-something face or bod! I wouldn't actually want to do anything with them, even if they came knocking and were keen. But finding them attractive? Of course, that's totally normal!
