To ask about 56 year old men?

I think he might be a bit young for that music. They were 1960s bands whilst the music was good people born in the late 40s and early 50s would be the age group. Your crush was born late 1960s so late 70s and 80s music.

@Jumell ummm surely he is 56 not 86?

That stuff is seen as old fashioned and boring by my dad and he is 78.

But then perhaps you are having fun trolling.

Well, I've no idea whether this thread is proving to be of any use to you, @Jumell , but as the wife of a 56-year-old DH (who also has several friends attempting to do online dating with a load of mid-50s men) I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Exciting to have a crush, OP 😍

For what it's worth...

DH is into:

• Seeing his friends (pub, football, rambling)
• Football (playing, watching, blathering on about)
• Beer (the special types with special cans and whimsical names, which all taste the same to me)
• Reading books about philosophy
• Proper long walks in the countryside with dog and me

The ones my friends have encountered online do seem, on average, to be different beasts (especially, unfortunately, the ones who've been single for a while). These ones have been more into:

• Sexual behaviours which can only have emerged through relentless watching of abusive porn
• Pressuring women in their 40s to get into the above sexual behaviours
• Being horrified about the idea of relationships with women of their own age

That would be a mistake.
they are more likely to
like 80s music.

Why not ask him?

Urr, doubt it

😁

Apparently as men age they all converge to have one single personality! I did not know this!

I think you will have to find out a bit more about this particular 56 year old. My boyfriend is 58 and he likes comic books and super heroes. He definitely wouldn’t like some of the suggestions on this thread.

See this is very generic. My dh is a couple of years younger than 56. He likes watching sports and cars but hates diy and gardening. Isn't a bird watcher. He doesn't drink and loves heavy metal /rock. He's got great stamina. Asking what an age group like is ridiculous as everyone is different. Take him as a individual and find out what he likes.

DH is 59. Not obsessively, but fit for his age, walking, cycling locally and can walk up a 25% gradient hill for 20 mins without stopping (unless he had me with him as I have to take what I call 'view breaks'). Mines like lager, wine and southern comfort. Enjoys horse racing, reading and 80s music. As mine likes horse racing and horses, he'd appreciate smaller things coasters/pens relating to horses or I'd look on his teams website to see if there are any gifts.

Warning, mine has got grumpier in the last couple of years (luckily not with me)😂

How do you know him?
work? What does he do?
if he has to travel/drive then maybe travel mug and coffee shop voucher?
audible gift card?
or, maybe, ask him?

go for a drink!
maybe you’ll both give each other a gift….

I know a 56 year old man. I'll ask and report back.

If you know the football team he supports, you could get a replica shirt for the season he was born. (Assuming he’d wear something like that.)

if he wears shirts with cufflinks, you can get sixpence cufflinks for a specific year.

Or a multi-pocket/section small bag for his travels.

My DP is 56, he loves -

Classic cars
Music (mostly 80s)
Football

and thats about it, stamina wise he is very fit as he has a physical job, i know he sounds boring but hes not. I am crazy about him 😍

Mr Monkey is a 55 year old man and likes, in no particular order:

Marathon running
Travel
Expensive Japanese denim
House music
Hip Hop
Music festivals
Fancy beer
Crisps
Parkrun
Watching youtube videos of people talking about trainers
Football (playing and watching)
Going to the pub
Bagels
Stewart Lee
Late 1980s New York art (Basquiat, Hareing etc..)

I'll let you know if when he turns 56 he becomes all about garden centres and M&S cords.

Are you much younger or just never dated that age? I'm curious about your crush.

Well, DH is 56 and his sexual stamina has been declining from about 40. He is fit, nonsmoker no chronic disease but likes a drink. Sexual stamina depends on your chap's health and lifestyle.
As far as interests, he is still into the same things he always were, listens to and watches the same things of his youth.
Get your crush something that reminds him of his childhood or teen years.

My DH is very charming to new women but he is increasingly a grumpy old man at home. He's very done it all seen it all what's the point. But some men are chasing adventures and partying in ibiza and tokyo at this age... i suspect they are the exception though.

I personally find bath stuff to be something you give people when you can’t think of anything else. On top of that, radox is a daily brand as opposed to something a bit more luxurious which is what I’d go for if I was gifting something.

can I ask how old you are? You sound very young

The classic cars are interesting...especially when they are done and MOT'ed! He's fixed up a Humber sceptre, and now is doing up his granddad's Sunbeam Rapier. Also renovated a Stiletto. He does them up, drives them a bit, gets bored and sells them, and moves to the next. But his grandad's he'll keep.

Y’see, my DH doesn’t like:

Cooking
Beer
Rugby
Drinking fizzy drinks
Queen.

He likes:

Tea (drinks gallons of it).
Football.
Music (he’s a musician).
Dogs.
Films.
Travel.

So what you’d get for one 56 year old, may not suit another!
