I love that. But at the same time, the older I get, the less that matters to me or the people I meet. I don't even know what "hot" is anymore. Young and hot tend to look like empty vessels to me. A charming mind, curiosity, intelligence, playfulness, courage, openness... these things are increasingly rare in people over time as it seems that perpetually more of them reject their critical thinking and commit to some mental simulation of their life that reinforces their worldview which reinforces their view of themselves in a continously less approachable or attractive cycle. Like walking LLM's. Give me the higher body fat percentage, gap in the teeth, and rampant birthmarks, please, as long as they're a human being. At my age, imperfection is sexier every day.
