What's the deal with younger men claiming older women (60+) can be attractive?

Is it an attempt at flattery?
Is it currying favour for something else, like getting free editing on a poem or story?

The thing is, when it happens (rare) it's incongruent. There are no other signs or signals of attraction.

If it is true, what is it that they find attractive?

If it's not, why would they bother to insist on it?

Is it a misguided attempt to be "kind" - as if looks were the only basis for self esteem or confidence?

Is it just plain stupid - no reason at all?

I have a family member over 70 and she's still gorgeous.

@SW-User Cosmetic surgery? Or is she like Helen Mirren?

@hartfire Naturally beautiful. Every little white hair and even the creases that weren't there before.
Plastic surgery isn't beautiful. It's fake and best saved for accidents and reconstruction. Society is too brain washed by fake beauty standards.

We have to stop equating value in life with BODIES

Bodies and quality-in-general copulating in bed.... are for a schizophrenic planet

@SW-User women have a perfect right to change their faces surgically, and men will never give up the right tho think the size of their precious dick is the end all and be all of the entire universe
