Do you know any older men who add any pretty face on Facebook, then flirt with all of these women?

Asked by dammitjanetfromvegas (4601points) April 21st, 2016

I’m speaking about mostly single men age 40–65 with hundreds of female “friends” (many that are spam). These women have profile pictures where they are showing mostly skin, and these women have nearly a thousand followers each.

I have witnessed a few men this age that will spend their free time commenting on these women’s photos telling them how hot they are.

I’m no prude but they remind me of creepy pervs. Does this gross anyone else out?

An interesting observation I’ve made- The men who do this are all Republican and not well educated. Not one of my liberal male friends does this.

Apparently a great many of we men are wired to remain fools about women right to the end.

I know men in their 50s (like me) with money (not like me) who spend their time looking for women in their 20s who will actually date old guys.

It works a bit. Until the women listen to Divorce Dad for a date or two and bail. Yes, it’s creepy. Yes, they are Republicans.

Yes I knew a few bachelors who did this for show, to impress there followers.
Some men are very competitive.
By the way these two “Only’ placed highly good looking girls with attributes etc
And both hardly had real dates!

I find it equally as stupid as my mother in law adding every person on the planet who shares the clickbait “TYPE AMEN IF YOU LOVE JESUS” memes 8,000 times a day.

She’s asked us four times so far to send money via Western Union to various African countries.

No. How do you keep finding these winners?

I feel better even with a few responses here. I tried telling one of my friends that what he was doing made him look pathetic and it really pissed him off. I guess the truth hurts.

Luckily there are less than a handful @el

There’s one guy that I used to know a few decades ago. He’s in my FB and always adding women as friends (as the OP said, probably many fake profiles) and he’s always posting suggestive stuff, and these women all write gushy thingses. His responses are usually calling the women “darling,” “sweetheart,” “beautiful” and stuff like that. He posts the same photos of himself over and over, and the women praise it, or he posts his cat that died years ago (not reminding people the cat died years ago) and the women write sympathetic stuff. He doesn’t call me suggestive things because I’m not one of “those” friends but it’s kind of nauseating.

I don’t know. I don’t consider Facebook real life like you obviously do. It’s a website with some good features but I get a kick out of hearing people talk about it like it was their life. Nothing is real until you put it on Facebook…........yeah, I know.

I suppose the behavior is about indulging your fantasies, but it just baffles me that there’s no reluctance to act the fool on a notoriously public stage.

It’s gross. I’ve had half a dozen or so of these, and my profile has always been unsearchable.

When you say you’ve witnessed this, do you mean you’ve encountered strangers on Facebook who do it, or people you actually know? I think I’d consider an intervention if it were someone I knew.

@dappled_leaves I witnessed it in my feed because these friends were commenting on public pictures. They are people I know from my past.

One man wrote “I’d like to bury my head between your legs” to a woman who had a scantily clad profile pic. The man is nearly 60.
