Do all middle aged men look at young girls on instagram?

DH56 follows an account called OfficeCutey or something like that, which I've looked at, and she's 20 - 21 at the most. Massive boobs. Do they all do this? To answer the obvious question, no he hasn't made his account private, and I'm not sure he realises people (including his sister who follows him) can see what he looks at.

Or Office Distractions?

Sleazy , grim and sad
This is me being nice btw

My experience it’s that a lot of men do this. I’d be upset about it as well.

80s · 18/11/2024 16:37

My dp is not on Instagram, and says he'd feel weird about ogling a much younger woman.

Half of men admit to watching porn, though, so I'm not sure it's just a common opinion on MN that men are avid porn watchers. https://yougov.co.uk/society/articles/42945-how-often-do-britons-watch-porn

Young girls - as you said in your thread title - no, and if you know someone who does, this may be a police matter.

Indeed girls (under 16/18) may well be a police matter as well. THis is an area where the terminology matters.

Young women - yes I think a lot might look, if they encounter images; it's normal to appreciate beauty

But it's very sleazy to search for it.

Especially if their DDs are approaching that age

My partner follows Beyoncé and Rihanna on X. He’s been following them since before we met, it doesn’t bother me to be honest.

Floralnomad · 18/11/2024 16:41

No , my husband is in his 60s and he’s never looked at porn or anything else on the internet and he wouldn’t know where to start with instagram , he’s only just mastered WhatsApp !

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 18/11/2024 17:00

My DP doesn't... he's middle aged.

MaggieBsBoat · 18/11/2024 17:04

Hell no. My DH definitely watches porn but doesn’t do social media. Following a young woman like that do everyone can see is just creepy af.

Seriously. Gross. Like my DH and his porn.

AnonAgain367 · 18/11/2024 17:06

Yes, many old men still find young girls attractive, but only the stupid, openly misogynistic ones would openly follow them on instagram!

During divorce proceedings, my friend discovered (through sleuth internet network stalking) that her retired 68 yo husbands porn site of choice was exploited teens dot com 🤮 (barely legal a v.grim)!

Bridgetomalley · 18/11/2024 14:47

Only the sleezy ones who view women merely as sex objects.

This...
you don't have to accept it, they don't all do it despite what the pervy ones tell you.

Fucking disgusting.

I'm fairly certain that pretty much all middle-aged men still find women (or men) in their 20s attractive. I don't think any man suddenly passes the age of 40 and magically ceases to find beautiful, fit, firm bodies sexy to look at.

That doesn't mean they would necessarily actively follow them on Instagram though.

Gross.

waterrat · 18/11/2024 17:19

URGH god - just please lets ask more focused questions - who cares how many men do it? Is it unpleasant, creepy and gross? Yep it is.

I can 100 per cent tell you that many of the men I know would NOT do this - my husband would think this absolutely cringe and creepy.

GenderRealistBloke · 18/11/2024 17:23

Not me. I'm not sure it's correct to call it misogynistic or sleazy though (no more than a Full Monty calendar is misandrist and sleazy, anyway).

User37482 · 18/11/2024 17:23

No he doesn’t have insta and he doesn’t watch porn as far as I know.

MaryGreenhill · 18/11/2024 17:24

No mine doesn't.

It's definitely both those things. I think naked male calendars are grim too.
But don't pretend there's not a difference in how perverted men look at young women.

Daschund · 18/11/2024 17:28

No. DH has a FB account but it's only family, close friends and his hobby on there. I'd get the ick if I found him leering at young women on Instagram

They're equally grim.

Dirtyprotest · 18/11/2024 17:42

Most men sub 70 will be consuming filth.

BigFatLiar · 18/11/2024 17:46

I doubt it. DH watches old TV series, potters in the allotment, reads, cooks and generally gets in the way. I've only just got him converted onto a proper phone though it spends a lot of it's time on the table.

Agreed. It cracks me up when I see the indignation from posters on here. Do they really believe that any bloke over 21 doesn't look at the tits on an 18 year old. Of course, we all know that their husbands wouldn't dream of it. My only question is why have you drawn the line at 70? In my experience it doesn't matter how fucking old men are.

Good question. I nearly went 75. At what age do men stop wanking off? Ive no idea.

TheBigSalami · 18/11/2024 17:52

I’m married to a middle aged man and the answer is no. He’s not a tragic perve.
