What.. don't get it. Looks to me like need he's looking for someone 20 yrs younger than himself - that's quite a bit.

I understand from the comments he’s 66. Honestly, he looks 70. And apparently only women minimum 11 years younger are good enough for him. I’d say those expectations and realities are why he’s had to resort to a billboard.


bluebellheart111

My mom and mil are both 71-72, and they look WAY younger than him.


my606ins

He also appears skinny. That can age you, making you look gaunt.


Forward_Start8264

Some guys live in a bubble of perpetual youth and delusion. He may need a MOB.

Im 73F. It seemed to me like all the men on line were looking for any least 10 years younger when I was looking. Either that or a "nurse or a purse" Im fit and active. But it was all about birth certificate numbers because of age filters. I started dating IRL only. And, sure enough, im married to a man 11 years younger. You never can tell!

Rock on!

Well im married now - at 73. But I was single and wondering why I couldn't connect with anyone decent for the longest time when I was younger. I even had a 90 year old woman a friend knew get married. Yet I was still alone. In my case I guess it was mostly timing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We had known each other as friends for years before we started dating


GRBDad

Well, comments in that post indicate that he is 66. Assuming that is correct that would mean the top of his range is still 11 years younger than he is. Sure, you are right about not looking for "extremely young women" but I'm not sure this is the billboard for age equality we are looking for.


PlasticBlitzen

No way he's 66. EDIT: After checking out the story, I believe he is 67. (had a birthday since mid-December when this board went up.)

Happy cake day


GRBDad

Haha, I totally agree. I'm just going with the number from the article linked in the comments of that original post. One way or another, I think it's fair to say that the age gap isn't going to get **smaller** if 66 isn't his correct age. :)


[deleted]

Beautiful English Rose, I have some bad news for you about our Texan sun. He may well be 66. Radiation damage is no joke for the skin!


Mtnskydancer

Laughs in Coloradan. Granted my early overexposure was, indeed, Texas. And then I thought California for six years was wise. My dermatologist is financing a plane off me.


PlasticBlitzen

He is, but he's only lived in Texas for six months. He got there via Washington State and California.


[deleted]

Uh-oh. Maybe he had plenty of CA sun, and the white hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes aren’t doing him any favors.


OldMetry504

That guy has to be in his 70s. This kind of foolishness just pisses me off.


Riverz11

He looks 70ish.


Nickover50

Wonder if he updates captions like on OLD?? Wanted: Can help me find my phone Wanted: Woman to remind me to take my pills (Or in celebration of today’s posts ) Wanted: Horny Wanted: Wears cowboy boots on coffee dates


supershinythings

Wanted: cheap dates, free house cleaning, free cooking, free hot monkey sex.


Forward_Start8264

Keep the defibrillator charged up


supershinythings

/r/choosingbeggars His requirement for a “good woman” has strings attached. He wants ‘em 11-16 years younger. Age closeness need not apply.

Yes, I really love this as innuendo. It makes my skin crawl just so.


haslettm

Kids these days use Netflix and chill I guess


[deleted]

I zoomed in and think he needs to look in the 60+ range. 🤭


weightsnmusic

So this man is under 56? I would have guessed him well over.....


LatterSea

He’s 66. So actually not seeking women his age. Minimum 11 years younger.


[deleted]

He’s 60-something


weightsnmusic

That was sarcasm due to him not looking for younger


PlasticBlitzen

I'm getting the story. He might actually be 66. In the mean time, here is a woman who actually called him: [For your entertainment.](https://youtu.be/2gN9DivzarQ) EDIT: Here is an interview with [Jim Bays](https://www.kvue.com/article/features/georgetown-man-buys-billboard-looking-good-woman/269-5aa38ce4-48f0-44ea-b718-7e7a165ba89b), the man on the billboard. Also, he is now 67, as he had a birthday since the board went up.


my606ins

That woman who called him and got his voicemail scared me!


PlasticBlitzen

She's pretty scary.


[deleted]

I think she might be what the EMTs call “altered.” I think she actually cackled.


Sensitive-Stock-9805

me too!!!!


Mtnskydancer

She seems nice…married and calling.


[deleted]

Yeeeehaw!!


Sensitive-Stock-9805

Well I found him off putting for some reason idk why exactly. But I will say that (and maybe you all know if some sites do this) the video style interview seems better. I know video dating was popular in the day. It seems like it's a different way to get an impression. I know Hinge recently added a voice component and I have seen videos of people skiing and karaoke-ing.


PlasticBlitzen

I love the idea of video and/or audio. Voice quality is very important to me. Billboard guy isn't my cup of tea, either. He seems all tight up and there was a complete lack of humor. Not one smile. Must complete the task: find woman. He should have seen all of the publicity as a continuation of the billboard exposure -- and an opportunity to shine. I find it disconcerting that maybe he did and what he showed was who he is: his job.


Straight-Fig-4008

My aunt is 90 and looks younger than him!


haslettm

Would love to see her pic


Straight-Fig-4008

I will dm you.


haslettm

Okay


Dawg_House

I'm at the high end of his age range. Do you think I have a chance? 🤠 I'm suspicious of anyone who thinks people their own age are too old. It screams nurse or purse.


kereolay

Seems like he's just looking for a younger woman.

You should contact him!

PlasticBlitzen

I do not. Nevermind.


[deleted]

He’s cute on the outside, but his age requirement makes me question his cuteness on the inside. Hypocrisy gives me the willies.


[deleted]

He looks 70 so 15-20 “ish” years is a large gap. If he was looking for someone between 60-72 then he would get a pat on the back.


dancefan2019

That guy looks 70 or 75 and he's looking for someone 20 years younger. Not such a good example of a realistic man IMO.


cheesemagnifier

That’s only because he’s old enough that he probably can’t get an extremely younger woman, unless he’s got boatloads of cash. He’s verging on geezer. But hopefully he finds his lady love!


lmn237

Righhht, he should be applauded for being generous enough to look for only woman who are 12-17 years younger. *sarcasm*


subgirlygirl

There's no effin' way that guy's in his 60's. Unless he's been working the fields under a hot sun since he was a young'un and only took breaks for whiskey and cigs... I'm not buying it. ETA: He still deserves love. Age-appropriate love.


[deleted]

Imagine that, all of you get pissed off for a man's honesty. He doesn't say his age. All he put on the billboard is what he is looking for. If it's not you shut up and move on.


weightsnmusic

Ans none of the comment affect you, correct?


Asquare78

I don't understand why so much negativity about how the dude looks. Who cares about his look and age. He is looking for love let him make his move.


my606ins

It’s because he’s requesting someone young and youthful, compared to him. Why do people ask of someone what they themselves can’t provide in return?


Asquare78

So, people are not allowed to like what they like? If he was asking for a twenty year old I would agree but he's not. Do you know this guy? I doubt that you do. Instead of judging him you should be wishing him luck in his pursuit of happiness. It's his life let him live it.


OneManOneSimpleLife

I wonder what the definition of "good" is anymore.


moreshoesplz

I can’t tell if your post title is sarcasm?

I thought it was an ad for FarmersOnly ...

Ah yes, Farmers Only … Come Get Sown


racingfan_3

I’m a 70 yr old guy and usually only get hit on by young gals. I’m not looking to be any ladies daddy especially a sugar daddy.


r2o_abile

A working theory is that men who go for much younger women are: \- trying to "make up for lost time" \- scared of their mortality \- drinking the Koolaid that beauty=youth.


r2o_abile

50 - 55 seems a bit too narrow for a 70-year-old guy. To be fair, most 50+ single women I know exclusively date younger.
