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.

I had a massive crush on the lovely, fit, outdoorsy landscaper who did my garden for me. He must've been at least 20 years younger than me. Obviously it wasn't going to be anything, but I definitely enjoyed that project!

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

How odd.

🤣

I've sent you a pm.

😂😂 Why would you even do that?! State your case right here and add to the thread! It seems to have fizzled out anyway ( the thread, not the crush 🤔)

You could have just sent the PM, you know, without announcing it.

Justleaveitblankthen · 14/07/2022 11:48

To add my own point of view: I rewatched Thelma & Louise last night. I defy anyone, any age not to have the hots for the young Brad Pitt! (though to be fair, I wouldn't kick him out of bed at any age 😎)

Does it matter? I never see I've got a pm if I'm posting on the app.

The power dynamics make this wrong and fantasising about him would mean you are fantasising about non consensual sex, because if the age difference. Mumsnet has taught me this.

HippoLover2 · 14/07/2022 11:52

Can’t understand all this Harry Styles love. Are we talking about Harry Styles in a dress and makeup? Seriously? Barf.

HippoLover2 · 14/07/2022 11:53

I mean Id rather shag that horrible Piers Morgan than a man in a dress and makeup

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?

Aren’t you the poster that had their own thread about the Britain’s Got Talent lad?

Tbf you've probably got more chance with Piers Morgan than harry so that's good for you unless you're a real oil painting yourself ofc 😉

HippoLover2 · 14/07/2022 11:56

@Kittykat93

Im incredibly hot and in Harry’s age range as well. But like I said he ain’t getting none of this.

Sure he will cry himself to sleep tonight after you saying that

Yes and got called a troll 🥲

Well, he was, not sure if he still is, under 18, so it’s concerning.

I think you also gave a similar second username and write some quite interesting stuff about your other crush. I could be mistaken but your writing style is extremely similar.

TheDogTravelsByHelicopter · 14/07/2022 12:03

*have a similar user name

He's seriously the most gorgeous lad I've ever seen in my life. I wouldn't go out with a lad that age though and I don't usually find that attractive. It's just him. Don't think I've posted about any other crushes x

But most women wouldn’t say they had a crush on a child. It shouldn’t be a crush. It’s weird.

And I am almost certain that the other username is you, same style, same mistakes, same phrases. A little coincidental.

He's technically a child. That's totally grim. Like, really really grim. And I'm the mum to a 16 year old.

I wouldn't really say he's a child. He's almost 18 and looks like a man. Anyway I don't want to open myself up to a slaughtering like last time so I'll leave it there.

Mydogatemypurse · 14/07/2022 12:23

Dont worry about it. I enjoy a lot of the young footballers when im watching sky sports ha

AhaLyn · 14/07/2022 12:26
