When it comes to older gents we’re certainly not short of eye candy and George Clooney has proven that he can still wow the ladies by being voted the mature celeb we’d most like to date.
Relationships on Female First
It wasn’t just George Clooney that got the women of Britain’s blood pumping though, there were many others that they would happily date.
Somewhat unbelievably, Simon Cowell snatched second place despite his insanely high trousers and questionable haircut.
Sting rounded off the top three and was followed by Michael Douglas who has recently been showing off his feminine side in Behind the Candelabra.
The fifth spot went to the forever enticing Denzel Washington who always manages to blow us away with his charm and swagger.
Sixth place was dominated by the handsome Irishman that is Liam Neeson and he was closely followed by the charming Colin Firth.
Surprisingly, quite a few of us wanted to date Alan Sugar, putting him in eighth place followed by old timer Paul McCartney. Jose Mourinho rounded off the top 10.
Shockingly, one of the main reasons women said they would date an older gent like Clooney is due to their wealth.
Women were more likely to date an older man if he had plenty of money in his back pocket.
Initially, only 30 per cent of women under 30 said they would date a man in his 50’s but when asked if they would date a wealthy man in his 50’s this percentage rose to over 60 per cent.
Only 22 per cent of women said they would date a wealthy older man solely for how attractive he was.
George Charles of VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, who conducted the research, said, “It seems that the power of money and fame is definitely alluring.
“The fact that the results of our poll swung from a third to two thirds of respondents willing to date somebody over the age of 50 when celebrity and wealth were thrown into the mix highlights the attraction.
“Mind you, the majority of people on our list are attractive men anyway, so maybe it's just a case of putting features to the image of a faceless fifty year old. George Clooney is probably a far cry from a friend of your dad. Unless, of course, your dad mixes in those circles!”
