Ever since "Parent Trap's" Nick Parker wandered into my life, some 13-years-ago via VHS, I have had what I would call a healthy fascination with the older man. There’s an inevitable charm to the salt and pepper, the wisdom, the voice weathered by time. One might say that it’s simply the allure of a worn-in life that’s so appealing to someone such as me; a college student, bouncing with ambition, yet constantly discouraged by life’s unanswered questions. Needless to say I’ve done a bit of digging into my, antique, taste in men, only to discover that I have curated quite a list of them. This my deviant friends, is the DILF list you’ve been waiting for.
1. Richard Gere
You've probably seen in him in: "Pretty Woman", "Primal Fear", "Hachi: A Dog's Tale", or "Days of Heaven".
We're loving: The squinty eyes, the 1000 watt smile and that soft-gruff binary he's got going.
2. Jude Law
You've probably seen him in: "Sherlock Holmes", "The Holiday", "Anna Karenina", "The Talented Mr. Ripley" or "Side Effects".

3. Colin Firth
You've probably seen him in: "The King's Speech", "What a Girl Wants", "Love Actually", "Mama Mia" or "Bridget Jones Diary."

5. Patrick Wilson
You've probably seen him in: "The Conjuring", "Insidious", "Hard Candy" or "Watchmen."

6. Hugh Grant
You've probably seen him in: "About a Boy", "Bridget Jones Diary", "Notting Hill", "Music and Lyrics" or "Four Weddings and a Funeral."

We're loving: The textbook smile, the velvety voice, the way he walks away from explosions.
8. Dennis Quaid
You've probably seen him in: "The Day After Tomorrow", "Vantage Point", "Parent Trap" or "Pandorum."
We're loving: the toothy grin, the wonderfully-gruff voice, the inordinately, large biceps.

We're loving: The grittiness, the glittery eyes, the staunchness.
10. Hugh Jackman
You've probably seen him in: "X-Men", "Les Miserables", "The Prestige" or "Prisoners"
