To ask if most straight men are attracted much younger women?

personally I’ve always thought most women look much better in their twenties than 18/19. I’m not a man though lol

Most women don’t have any signs of ageing in their early twenties, and more likely to have found a flattering style that works for them rather than following microtrends as a teenager

I used to presume the most ‘respectful’ men who aren’t ageist/sexist wouldn’t prioritise younger women, but the older I get the more I’m proved wrong. I live in a very progressive city too

Last guy I dated (very liberal) is 33 and his new girlfriend is a 22 year old student. Felt like he was holding out for someone of her age

Many of my ‘respectful’ single guy friends in 30s have set the minimum age on dating apps to much lower than their own age. They otherwise don’t have any friends that much younger than them

When I was late teens - early twenties I got hit on the most by much older men (even seemingly liberal / ‘respectful’ ones in 40s)

People don't actually understand humour. If it were true it wouldn't be funny, or even a joke. It's funny because it's an outrageous thing to say.

For what it’s worth I’m a straight female who laughed at this joke the first time I heard it too, as it was an unexpected and therefore funny response to a common question about a favourite child.

I am not, and have never been, attracted to teenage or young adult girls.

But I enjoy a “close to the bone” humour. Totally fine if you don’t. But it is unusual that it’s this joke that changed your opinion of Jimmy Carr as it’s pretty tame in the context of this repertoire!

Dont be silly a woman of 18 or 19 is not a child!! Of course nen are sexually attracted to women in tbe prime of their fertility andv health and thus Most able to make and birth healthy children.That is not perverted its a Perfectly normal evolutionary biological urge.

The amount of men driving cars turning their heads 180 degrees to stare at school girls, it doesn't surprise me.

We are surrounded by men who may not act on it or admit it out loud, but would be more than up for shacking up with a 16 year old if they could get away it and not get shamed for it

Pretty sure I read an American survey that found that most men would sleep with an underage girl if they were sure they could get away with it.

On the other hand I'm 50 and don't find 50 year old men at all attractive so there is that.

Remember the papers that awarded Charlotte church rear of the year aged 16, Billie piper - countdown til she's legal ?

Or what about American beauty and lolita if you’re feeling more high brow…?

Kate moss as an accepted “ so glamorous” topless teen etc.… main stream media have a big role to play in making this kind of joke seem acceptable, and perving on barely legal porn category is I think not seen as paedophilia in many people’s minds as a result.

grim.

You know Jimmy isn’t actually dating his neighbours teen daughter don’t you?

That's put you off Jimmy Carr? A joke that's relatively tame by his standards? Riyadh comedy festival? Israel party? Taxes? But for you the final straw was this completely on brand joke? Was today the first time you heard of Jimmy Carr?

I don't think that's a funny joke. I think it's quite sick. Almost trying to make paedophilia funny.

And I wouldn't be impressed by the men who laughed at it.

Of course there are men who perv on very young women: teen porn is one of the most popular genres.
But there are many decent men who don't.

Ugh that’s put me off Jimmy Carr.

I don’t think you’re wrong. I think they’re attracted - it’s potentially something biological.

I know some men that only like to date women their own age or older though - that’s not unusual.
