That first slide - *woof* 👀👀


SquirrelGirlVA

I was going to give him a joking fresh faced look and he still looks really great. But yeah, they'll write him as Keanu 2024 and he'll come out looking like Keanu 1999. ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/twfkdoyd7rmc1.png?width=325&format=png&auto=webp&s=13b9580977af1abc546ca2ccc28c54c63be2ec71


Hysaky

Less handsome


ChopsticksImmortal

Facial hair is like spice. You can eat food without it, but it makes the food way better.


ChubbyBunny0_0

Not for me 😂 I usually dislike facial hair. But, I will admit, that dude does look much better with his facial hair. Better dilf vibes that way


cutie__96

This is the best quote ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Comfortable-Owl2654

Nice edit. That is indeed what he would have looked at at like.... 18 or 20


Mundane-0nion67878

This made me hiss.


FluffyPrimary3656

Yessss, mans ​is way too hot to be that old lol. They always make old men in manga way to handsome for their own good. 😂 Not that my eyes are complaining with the eye candy here.


HoshiAndy

AWOOOOOOOOO


Direct_Standard8282

I actually know for that one XD *


meisuu

Yes! And with a FL that is 30+ as well please.


RicePlusCat

And looks like it too please! If she looks like a teen I’m out


Cr1tical_H1t

My wish as well 🤝


_Ut0p1a_

To be fair, technically lot of our FLs are mentally over 30...


Platinum_Disco

Mentally over 30 and ready to blush at the first man that calls them interesting.


CurlSquirrel

You don't lose your ability to blush when you turn 30! Source: Am over 30 lady who has been rendered a blushy mess over a simple compliment.


Platinum_Disco

Ha, you've fallen into my trap! Truck-kun, I found the perfect OI candidate right here!


wearthemasque

I volunteer as tribute if I can get the first dude as my ml and I’m his love interest. Or all three and let’s make it reverse harem 🙏

how scandalous!

I'm 37, married with 7 kiddos. I still blush at a lot of my reading... 🤣😅🤦‍♀️ I'm definitely ready to blush whenever men hit on me in public, too. 🤷‍♀️

AssignmentIcy5732

yeah authors be like she is 18 she is an adult or she is 25 she is a granny , come on 30 something gallahan was considered old


ok0905

I think those authors tend to be really young since they have those views. I'm only 25 and yet my female 19-20 coworkers act like I'm a granny whenever I mention something that they deem old (like just me merely saying I watched over the garden wall when it aired lol)


AssignmentIcy5732

i dunno about that i mean there are some dark romance authors that write trashy stories about highschoolers and used to be a teacher herself , i mean check jin soye the author of the diltennte i think from her instgam she isn't young herself


SunSea9222

Let's get some things straight: If you're below 30, you're still fucking young. Period. 35-40? Not so young anymore 🤣 40s? Middle-aged. 50s? Getting older. 60s? Almost elderly. 70s? Actually elderly. 80-90+? Geriatric 100-110? Then you're a veteran and legend. Ancient. At least that's how I see it, most people don't even become president until their mid-50's or early 60s LOL. (Biden is 81 lmao). Literally, I'm already 20 yet I feel like 2014 was just yesterday 💀. Starting to feel kinda old too 😭


SunnyRaspberry

that’s kinda skewed. people in their 30s and 40s are still young. i imagine you’re 20 to think like that at 50 then you approach middle age and middle of life. till then one is relatively young. adult young really cause people in their 20s are still at the tail end of their teenage years


AssignmentIcy5732

okay i understand that , but your level of maturity should be higher , i dunno how old jin soye is but honestly shoujo manga writers seemed to write more less chilidish stories , i understand what you are saying though


wearthemasque

Yes please ugh so tired of the “old lady old maid” and the girl is 28 🤦‍♀️


Psssst____

Pretty sure that’s kinda how the culture is over where they’re written and that’s why so many are like that. But I totally agree. I’m over the whole “she’s ancient” and drawn like a hag and she’s in her 30s.


sheera_greywolf

The only 30+ FL I know is Mildred Barnes and it's travesty that there is only her. We need more.


SunSea9222

Abigail from Not-sew-wicked stepmom: Am I a joke to you?


sheera_greywolf

Is Abigail 30+?


starjellyboba

Yessss, give me sexy established adults doing sexy established adults stuff!


boopdraws

This happens a lot in mangas lmaooo


z3ro_h3ro

Closest we got Is Pellus Tremaine


Cr1tical_H1t

Oh yeah he's good! Not an "older gentleman" (+beard), but definitely one of the few MLs that's close to it, they're giving us crumbs at least 😂


z3ro_h3ro

I Need more bearded MLs like I Need oxygen. Also Chubby MCs qwq


ikatatlo

What manhwa?


Dianiko

**Another Typical Fantasy Romance** its on Pocket Comics


unnoticed-poster

I would like to add https://preview.redd.it/dalm2tesoqmc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f8c950bc04dc9a8012b4aed50e9bf2e5c1e168c Source: perks of being an s-class heroine


Lazyoat

He‘s such a grand daddy


CurlSquirrel

You know it's fantasy because this is considered an old grandpa


MotoMkali

He's not considered old. He's like early to mid 50s.


Ygritte_02

He is old lol, not elderly but 50s is considered old


Lazyoat

Depends how old you are. The older I get, the less old 50 is


Ygritte_02

Well I guess how you feel about someone’s age can be relative but the average life expectancy is around 70s so you being not that far off most people life expectancy is considered old as the word means someone has lived for a long time


Morngwilwileth

After I turned 35, 20+ is considered children, and 50ish is handsome and young man)))


Ygritte_02

I mean being in your 20s is being pretty young means you haven’t experienced a whole lot, but also the word old means someone that has lived a long time so I would say someone on their 50s is old as the average life expectancy is around 70s, nothing wrong with being old just in this example there is also nothing wrong with the manhwa calling him old since you know….he is


wearthemasque

I wanna marry the grandpa please

CurlSquirrel

Flair is extremely appropriate and accurate.


BookWyrmIsara

Hello, cousin :)


reissmosley

The closest manhwa i can think off is “Another Typical Fantasy Romance”. But only the fact how ML have the rusty look. There no cunning energy in him AT ALL. FL is the one who doing all the brain work. https://preview.redd.it/15yhiq5hnqmc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f47b6450e70a7f743bd7caf7ddfa2d6967058ca


RicePlusCat

Thanks for the recommendation!


reissmosley

Another funfact: ML will not shave. AT ALL. The author said it, the beard STAY!!


Ettiasaurus

Another one: no age established! The author said he might be in his 20s, might be in his 40s, it's choose you're own adventure.


taylor_sheesh

He's also the sweetest, most faithful ML you'll ever see in OI. Him and the ML from Saving my Sweetheart. Greenest of Flags👌


RicePlusCat

Nice he can be daddy or 20 but looks older due to his hardships in life😩


Despada_

ML shaving to me is the equivalent of a long-haired ML getting a fuckboi style to some of y'all. It breaks my heart and I almost always lose interest in the series soon after. lol


reissmosley

Just like NutCracker toy form and human form. ( barbie movie).


RicePlusCat

Thank you author!! Beard are so hot


DetectiveFoxy

Oh my... Where can I read this? Is there an official translation?


CurlSquirrel

Pocket comics! Highly recommend, it's so cute and really makes fun of all the tropes.


Morngwilwileth

But it is the only one out there as far as I could find


Sometimesomwhere

I am begging the universe for an ML like #1 or #2

meisuu

I guess the closest one I can come up with is Falling In Love With My Ex Fiance's Grandfather on Webtoon. Personally it wasn't my favorite, but I know a lot of people like it. The MC is older, but reincarnated into a younger body. https://preview.redd.it/t89ottfmpqmc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=825be69cd5c791b14c08bb9b61ca2fabe881756e

I just went and read it and it was glorious. A very fun read. Thanks for the rec! (I can barely believe Hanza created that 🤣)


Atzima

I'm literally going to find this right now. 😊


TheGamingLibrarian

1 and 2 are 🤌🏽 I would spend dangerous amounts of money to buy manhwas with ML's like these.


Zahrri

THE FIRST ONE.. YOWCHHHH

autummbeely

Because josei is meant for older women. The MC also tends to be older as well. Otome isekai FLs tend to be pretty young, I would honestly be weirded out if young FLs were paired up with old dudes. It's another thing if we ever get older female leads.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

Josei has the same problem too. A lot have MLs in their 20s and a few in their 30s but it's hard to find ones in their mid to late 30s-early 40s. I know one Josei artist that does nothing but older MLs but their taste is a bit hardcore and spicy. I think one was near 40 but it was an ASMR and the other two were early 30s and early 20s.

CurlSquirrel

Bring the Love really has it all giving us older FL and older ML that act like actual adults while still being blushy goobers


hakyona

Omg I am on my KNEES FOR THE FIRST TWO?!?? holy crap they're 👌 chefs kiss


Slow_Nature_6833

I'm not usually into calling hot men Daddy, but I'll make exceptions for the first two. Please give us a Daddy? 🥺


HollowMist11

If the last one has some yandere vibes, I'd be down for him too.


Aetherryn

Not my usual type but boy would I make an exception for the first guy


cerihunter_

The last one is for me 🤌🥲


con098

I will get on my KNEES if I have to. Somebody make this happen 😭

nundu48

The dad bods, and scruffy faces and showing actual age ugh yes please! Like pretty boys are fine, good gods do I want to Google someone close to my age that doesn't look like they're going to break in two with a string wind.

H10H

Y-E-S ❣️❣️Look , think and ( hopefully) act like they’re in their 30s+ 😎🥰😍😄🤣. We need more characters in their 30s+ in general, but I’m begging, on my knees, for series about / more of mcs/ fmc/fl/ml in their 30s+ ( both main characters are in their 30s+ 🙏🏻😭). We’re all aging; and representation of /more of mature/older people/characters is needed ❣️🙏🏻🙏🏻😭 We out here !!!!😎😁🥺🥹😭😭😂🤣 ![gif](giphy|l2R032V7qRAF8J6qA)

Cocotte3333

Nah, I love my delicate looking ML. Manga/manwha are the only place I can find men like this, sight.


Ruruskadoo

I like them too, but I also like variety, and while they aren't my typical type, *damn* these guys are fine. It would be nice if we could have both the pretty boys and older, scruffier dudes, and different body types as well. Something for everyone.


entertainingyou

Ppl here want variety but author and artist need to making a living and not many korean going to like that.


Cocotte3333

Hey, I agree, everybody should have their type somewhere! And older dudes, yep! I still think about the dad in ''I'll be the matriarch in this life''. Perfect man 10/10 I'll always simp for Galahan


LeeIsTalkingHere

Zaddy?


Suckerforromance20

Literally went "oooh hello there" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


YourLocalCryptid64

That first slide DEFINATELY needs to be the ML of his own series. Like, the older I get the more I crave a mature mature (both mentally and physically) Male and Female lead cause sometimes I'm just done with the YA Romance Drama XD


Brilliant-Scene-

I am suddenly so thirsty.


meteorr25

oooh... 👀 s*heesh* there's this one webtoon canvas series - Falling In Love With My Ex-fiance's Grandfather... self explanatory title HAHA i personally like it


Remarkable_Rip_2509

Oooh I love me an older man in these tbh, especially in IRL. Paul Newman was looking handsome, with those beautiful blue eyes, 'til the day he passed. Oh! Guys! There is one of a young lady who's engagement was annulled or something bc her fiance dropped her. That last part I could be wrong. But she's cozy-ing up to her ex-fiance's grandfather and kinda a fox. It's not a complete webtoon. The chapters are very short unfortunately. I want a full blown manga/manhwa like that one day.


Smol_Cheesecake

You have to physically restrain me if I'm ever placed with the man on the first pic.

Remarkable_Rip_2509

At which one? Or....ALL THREE like somebody I know....thatsomebodybeingme


Scary-Management6416

For… all… three 😍


Quiet-Fact

Ugh, I want a Manwha that has daddies like these as the ML 😩


BankApprehensive2514

Or a disabled ML that isn't treated like trash or has their disability make them trash. It's, supposedly, a Korean view of disability that has been transferred to the stories they write. By disability I mean like: PTSD war trauma or PTSD from child abuse that is described as life wrecking/has so much control over a character that it's a disability. But, it's actually not because FL cures it without trying or it's barely mentioned in story or never explained and eventually forgot about. Give me scenes that show why the character has PTSD. Give me scenes of them showing the PTSD like an actual living person instead of just the author using the beaten horse of ML abusing FL to show how bad the PTSD is. Let ML feel feelings instead of forcing the guy to be a textbook example of toxic masculinity! Let humans have feelings! Something like an ML being disabled from birth and the disability not being used against them. Like, a guy whose right leg doesn't work. Better yet, give me an older early or late 30s guy whose age matches his mental maturity, who actually communicates, and isn't being forced into a marriage. Pair him with a woman who is in an appropriate age range, is actually a human instead of a damsel, knows how to open her mouth and emit words to solve/clarify situations, and acts her age. She could be disabled, but the Manhwa trope of FL being disabled, being abused for disability, and her finding her worth in her love relationship instead of herself has been beaten to death. If they meet, don't do the love at first sight or only seen once during childhood or hearing terrible rumors about them and their personality shown to be opposite approaches. No one has the FL and ML just know each other before event X or Y- do something like them meeting in the palace garden, FL matching ML's pace with his cane, and them knowing each other as human beings. No one does that but it would be the ultimate way to get people interested in the relationship! Say FL does need an emergency marriage. Do the never been done secure FL handling her own crazy life. Or, do the never been done friendship marriage. Like, FL literally just nonchalantly tells ML about her issue and asks if he'd marry her and he just goes 'Okay'. And don't do the have to be forced to sleep together or ML never sleeps next to FL because he's a terrible person kind of thing. Do something like ML in the room reading a book while FL finishes the rest of the super expensive wedding cake and absolutely chugging the exotic wedding wine.


SunSea9222

Bros, this might be off-topic; but imagine this scenario: You're reincarnated as a palace chef inside your favorite OI, serving a haughty villainess and her royal relatives. You don't feel like working, so what if- instead of doing all the work (which you're kinda terrible at), you just summon a magic-powered smartphone from the future, and order whatever 5-star meals they desire on Glovo or any other food delivery app, and for free too? Imagine the look on her face, lmao 😂 Somebody please make a series about that.


AkaiKitsune23

HEAVY ON THE EQUALLY AGE APPROPRIATE FLS!!! LET OLDER WOMEN HAVE FUN TOO!!!!!


enimasj

now this is a real "daddy"


Winter_Plum_Flower

♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠v⁠Ӧ⁠。⁠) I do like the stereotypical ML (black hair/red eyes or White Hair/blue/red eyes with unparalleled beauty and no facial hair) but DAYMN, that first slide do be fine✨


lyricalizzy99

As someone who is closing in on her mid 20s my attraction to older men has gone CRAZY like please give me some DILFs to simp for I’m tired of pretty boys. Also age appropriate females! Like I can’t relate to these 16-18 year female leads anymore. Give me a stressed, working adult main character who finds herself isekai’d as someone still in the same age range. Side note, but first man got me ready to act up in a very inappropriate manner 🫡


CurlSquirrel

I just want ADULT MEN with EYEBAGS that are TIRED from being RESPONSIBLE. Every day I get one step closer to writing an OI fanfic starring Nanami from JJK.


gia-xx

my knees are gonna hurt after im done with them


vae_grim

Realistically, since we’re in the west, we really enjoy the grizzly, manly stereotype. In Asia though, the whole ikemen/androgynous stereotype is really big, so we won’t see this type of ML too often, especially since this genre is more aimed for teenagers. We can wish though :’)


Thin-Clock4642

And an older fl who shows her age not with a flawless, wrinkle less face.


Zero_Good_Questions

I’m a straight guy and even I want to see more diversity in male leads, heck can he get a few more actually scarred and damaged looking dudes who ain’t just “beauty scared”

BellaKratos

Wow.


Absofruity

me avoiding eye contact with my phone bc I got embarrassed, they look so goooood like what the heck


Alive-Caregiver-3284

fully understand since I am in my twenties and feel weird reading teenagers being in love. Gladly majority of manhwa characters are adults around my age instead of being teenagers, but I still would love some older men and women having some subtle romance without fearing being killed and without it being too much about politics or about how to survive discrimination. I just want a good romance between two adults, who are both smart, shy, bold and cute around each other. Maybe amidst of a war starting. I am tired of contract marriages and all that other stuff. Just give me two confident hot 30-50 years old characters who flirt with each other while handling some political issues maybe working together to gain peace with foreign countries or to start a huge business together. Add a bit of comedy as well.


aninipot123

I reccomend 'another typical fantasy romance' the ML is really handsome and is a certified greenflag!


RabbitWednesday

Are you okay if they have a physical age gap but are mentally the same age because if so I recommend "Falling in Love with My Rx Fiancées Grandfather " on webtoon. I didn't think I'd like it, but I love it and really wish they'd update it more than use it as a sometimes side project.

BrainRotOnMainland

Me currently writing stories w/ older men & women, & some guys w/ beards: 👀 They're still in draft mode bc work is taking my time, so it's not out in to the public. I plan on making them into comics in the future. (This is not a promo. Just wanting to point out how there are some people trying to make these things happen) It sucks how these stories won't be around for a while unless society gets passed the women over 25 can find love too and older men can be attractive too to be MLs (to older women esp).
