Does this make me slightly pervy?

I am a 48 year old woman with a huge celebrity crush on a 24 year old. I’m feeling slightly iffy about the situation.

Obviously I realise that in the very unlikely chance that we were ever to meet we would have literally nothing in common (other than we come from the same geographical location) and therefore I wouldn’t find him remotely attractive but I am watching him with lustful eyes.

No I don't think it's pervy. I'm 34 and fancy a guy from the last series of Britain's Got Talent and he's younger than 24. He's too young for me but he is so fit.

Libre2 · 13/07/2022 23:47

Yes but in fairness 34 is only 10 years older - I am literally old enough to be his mother!

How could this turn to a 'pm sent' situation?

How odd.

Haha I know! How weird!

MrsHarrison87 · 14/07/2022 00:08

Ha. Didn't want to say my dodgy crush on here.

But we’re all anonymous!! Is it outing?

Mabelshouse · 14/07/2022 00:11

God I’m ancient and have celeb crushes on all kinds of men, some of whom are almost younger than my oldest son. If someone is attractive you are allowed to look. It’s not like you’d act on it in real life.

who is it btw?!

Which mine? A bit yeah. My friends know I fancy him and he's young so I'll probably be called a perve. He's not underage obviously.

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 14/07/2022 00:16

I don’t think you’re a perv op but I am also 48 and can’t fancy younger men, even celebs. My radar of fanciability has always seemed to automatically age up owith me.

Young men just make me come over all grandmotherly.

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 14/07/2022 00:18

My friends know I fancy him

Ah fair enough

Gamba Cole.

I am binge watching The Outlaws!

I have rechecked - apparently he is actually 29 so I figure fair game!

Are you the 24 year old celebrity?!? 😂😂

Basically I believe the terminology is you would be considered a cougar woman that prefers younger people.

Hawkins001 · 14/07/2022 01:10

With me I had an older lady once that was intrigued with me and taught me different perspectives, so to speak.

Generally I really am not at all. I am so far removed from the younger generation as to be painful (according to my 13 year old DS).

Nah, I'm 52 and when I first started watching Gilmore Girls about 14 years ago (so 38 ish) I really fancied Jess, who played a school kid (more a sixth former really, not like 12 or anything). To be fair though Milo Ventimiglia who played him was actually older and is 45 now, so only 7 years younger ha

MrsHarrison87 · 14/07/2022 10:39

Is a guy a couple of months away from 18th birthday acceptable to fancy when you're 34? In my opinion he looks 20. I wouldn't go for a guy that age in real life but just based purely on attraction?

Edwardoo · 14/07/2022 10:46

I want to get a PM too lol (joking)

Beefcurtains79 · 14/07/2022 10:49

Yes, I find it equally as gross as a 48 year old man perv if on a 24 year old woman. Yuck.

tootiredtobother · 14/07/2022 10:51

havn't had a crush for ages, but the actor who plays Elvis in the film, OMG ! the black leather outfit - had me squirming slightly, or as I once read on Mumsnet, The fanny gallops...

WingBingo · 14/07/2022 10:55

Harry Styles is my crush. Getting more and more lovely the older he gets.

Garysparrowsthirdwife · 14/07/2022 11:12

I have a thing for Rodney trotter from only fools and horses
i think it’s his dopey-ness and vulnerability that does it

its harmless-my dp just laughs at me,my mates take the piss a bit and my mates 9 year old dd (who’s a bigger fan of only fools than me) thinks I’m a bit odd but he’s my crush and I’m happy with it

Georgeskitchen · 14/07/2022 11:18

Why not just enjoy your harmless fantasy and let others enjoy theirs 😉

grapehyacinthisactuallyblue · 14/07/2022 11:19

Depend on how you express yourself. If you show what you feel as serious interest to someone half your age, I think it's a bit pervy whether if you are a man or woman, to me. But if it was light hearted way, not much.
