older male actors that just get it
There is something about the way an older male actor handles the FL that a lot of younger male actors don't have yet. There is just a surety and a groundedness in their touches that is so attractive. For example, the way they hold the FL's lower back in a scene, he stands beside her, confident in himself and comfortable in his own skin that he can be her rock and so secure that he can watch her shine from the sidelines. He holds her lower back with a firmness and gentleness that shows her he knows exactly what he wants and is secure in his own actions.
It feels very masculine and is VERY attractive. (healthy masculinity obviously)
IDK if any of that makes sense, but it's just a vibe that I live for.
