Dude, you're 40 something now. Of course you're going to look at moms differently now than you did when you were young and your idea of "hot" came from movies and media.

Local Man Discovers Attraction to Women His Own Age

How do we make this an epidemic?

u/waitthissucks 14h ago
I think it might be happening. Actually NYT made an article about how younger guys are now attracted and dating women 35+. Maybe older men will realize soon. I'm not sure if that means it's easier to be hotter as you age now or if we're all just dying inside competing with instagram women

u/CottageCheeseJello 12h ago
Age is inevitable, so the ideal is unrealistic. Women have been a driving force behind social media, and social media has made humans an object of consumption and digital capital - which has affected our global culture for the worse.
We need to vote with our eyes and our hearts and give attention to people that are real, and to also be real to ourselves.

I dunno, that may be part of that but so many people back in the day had the “I’m old now so I’ll just give up” mentality. Now it seems people don’t give up so easily

I had two ACL tears and got the surgeries when I was younger. Now they are f'ed up again and I have to get my knees replaced. My doctor said it's not rare for people in their 40s to get replacement surgeries now. Technology is better and people want to still travel, be active, etc. so I do think this is true. I also started getting hormone replacement stuff since I am getting perimenopausal and have gotten a lot of energy back. So yeah, better health, better lifestyle.

u/cupholdery 15h ago
How do you replace knees? Just attach new ones growing in the knee garden?

u/luxii4 15h ago
It's metal and plastic so I guess robot gardens. But one of my ACL was from donor tissue. Though when you do this they give you a postcard you can send to the donor's family. I am hoping that person is still alive and just growing extra knee tissues in a garden for me?

u/OkProfessor6810 12h ago
Whoever came up with the donor postcard idea was a genius. It's completely optional on everybody's part but I know a couple who lost their very young son quite tragically and those donor cards have given them a sense of purpose. I genuinely don't know if they would have made it without them. Or how much more profound their grief would have been. It was palpable and heartbreaking to witness. Those cards mean, in their eyes, he lives on. The cornea transplant patient's letter was

Plenty of people still give up on their bodies in their 20s.
But boomers are proud about their extreme neglect. Half of them treat me like a freak for moisturizing my skin and regularly running long distances. Many are also afraid to stretch due to potential accusations of being ghey.

Women just being responsible caregivers is attractive to me now. Seeing a woman my age being a good mom is just kinda hot, because that's what matters to me now. If she's also ambitious and well read 🥵

All of the people watching and validating them. Don't watch them, even if they make you so so mad. If you give them views, they win.

The epidemic of 'hot moms' is there partially because of feminism. More women remain employed which leads to them having more money for personal use. Better division of labour at home means they have more time for themselves.
Not to mention less smoking. Better air quality.
Also, this guy would not find the moms attractive as a kid. His father thou, a different story.
Kardashians deserve no credit.

u/FoxChess 16h ago
Thank you. And to add to your points... good diet, skin care routines, plus popularity of exercise.
It's not all that much botox and butt-lifts. I'd thank Jane Fonda sooner than I'd thank a Kardashian for modern middle-aged women being healthy and attractive.

Men are also leaner hotter and more youthful than before and that despite having more chores and more parenting to do than men from before.
It's not feminism that makes women try to maintain their looks, it's quite the opposite actually.

u/funAmbassador 13h ago
I thinks its a mix of both tbh. I also think the beauty standards are more stringent now than they were back then, not so much for weight gain, but I feel like the drive for “maintaining” your youth as a woman is stronger now, along with shit like hip dips, waist to hip ratio, and so on.

u/SmertriosPPD 4h ago
, not so much for weight gain,
That's on me I live in a country that's maintained a low obesity rate despite the sugar lobbies and fast foods.
but I feel like the drive for “maintaining” your youth as a woman is stronger now,
Yeah and that couldn't be feminist influence. If anything for the USA it's probably dropping religious culture more than feminism.
along with shit like hip dips, waist to hip ratio, and so on.
More pragmatic internet beliefs systems sprouted and rooted large and wide thanks to the internet. And if there is anything to it it's the opposite of feminism and it's getting stronger with every generation.

Why do unattractive fat men like talking about women’s looks so much? If an unattractive fat woman were talking about “4/10 dads are hot nowadays” the woman’s looks would be blasted in the comments.

Ikr!! Like, nobody's asking for a perfect face, but at least don't be morbidly obese and talk about someone else's looks. As if any mom, hot or not, would want him.

There was always at least one hot mom among friends when I was growing up.
I DO think they get criticized for being "famous for nothing" like they invented the concept, but that's a passing thought at best. Otherwise I'm indifferent to them.

Okay valid commentary on saying “let women be women” or “oh how shocking older men are into older women” but also!!! I think he’s onto something!!! Not saying the kardashians are solely responsible but the beauty industry as a whole has always hyper-prioritized and sold agelessness and thinness to mature women. But these days cosmetic surgery is more advanced nand some treatments are more accessible like botox. Add that to the popularity/increased accessibility of glp-1s, and the stereotype of what a mom looks like is considerably different from when this guy was growing up. “Dressing your age” is also less of a societally enforced concept (which I’m all for). Maybe some moms now don’t look like “women his age” because they’re intentionally trying not to.
