“They Love My Cellulite!” Woman, 57, Sparks Heated Controversy by Dating Only Men in Their 20s
Elaina St James, a 57-year-old model from Chicago, has revealed that she now exclusively dates men in their 20s after becoming disillusioned with dating men her own age. She explained that her preference for younger partners emerged several years ago when she noticed that men her age often lacked the same zest and energy for life that she has. Younger men, she says, bring a refreshing vibrancy and a more spirited connection, which suits her adventurous nature. Elaina’s perspective has earned admiration from many who appreciate her fresh approach to romance.
At the age of 54, Elaina has inspired countless people.
Elaina St James, 57, is a model and content creator known for her candid and unconventional approach to dating. Her fame took off at 54 when she began promoting her “Age is just a number” philosophy on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and her own website.
Most days, Elaina can be found embracing life as a solo mom to both human and furry kids. She loves traveling, gardening, and sharing laughter with other women who resonate with her views on life and romance.
Elaina’s influence grew even further when she released her book, “How To Date Hot Older Women: The Ultimate Guide to Dating Older Women”, which has inspired many.
Elaina made a bold and impactful statement about dating and romance.
A 57-year-old model has disclosed that she exclusively dates men in their 20s, explaining she’s “tired of boring relationships” with older men. Elaina St James, a Chicago native, started dating younger men over four years ago when she discovered that men her age couldn’t match her vibrant energy or passion for life.
One of her latest boyfriends was just 23 years old, and Elaina was 56 at the time — making her 33 years his senior. She explained her choice of partners, saying that she absolutely loved her partner’s boyish good looks, sweet demeanor and vitality.
She also emphasized that her new boyfriend has a positive, laid-back attitude. She admitted she was also drawn to his impressive physique and full head of hair.
Elaina isn’t afraid to call things as they are, and her honest confessions continue to win over many hearts.
The 57-year-old beauty admitted that she can’t imagine dating anyone over 40 anymore because “they become grumpy old men.” Elaina shared that she’s often called a cougar, but she actually embraces the term. She revealed that having this drive and energy in her life after 50 is truly phenomenal.
Although Elaina has dated men her own age in the past, she quickly grew bored of the same repetitive routine and her partners’ health issues.
“Old men have bad backs, bad attitudes and lots of baggage,” she says. The woman claims that with men of her age she didn’t feel any passion, spontaneity or desire.
Younger men, according to the model, are vibrant and playful. Elaina says, “To them, my older skin is exotic. They love my cellulite and the fact that my breasts aren’t perky.”
The 57-year-old beauty drives her inspiration from other famous people.
In one of her Instagram posts, Elaina revealed that Star Trek, and William Shatner in particular, played a significant role in shaping her life philosophy.
Elaina wrote, “I was a geeky kid with a tough home life and not many friends. I didn’t feel like I belonged anywhere. TV for me as a kid was not only an escape, it was a window of possibility — glimpses of what could be. Star Trek was a big part of that. Every day after school in the 70s, I would sit in a swivel chair and immerse myself in Star Trek.”
At school, I found friends and we would play Star Trek. When a friend told me William Shatner, “Captain James T Kirk” was making an appearance in NC the month after we moved here, I immediately made plans for a photo op for my son and I. Even for the few moments I was in his presence he exuded that star quality. William Shatner still has “IT” at 93.
I often say, “Age is Just a Number, Attitude is Everything.” William Shatner is a perfect example of this. If you watch his documentary (and I encourage you to watch it) you will see that his zest of life, the passion and curiosity that is so much a part of Capt. Kirk is also who Bill Shatner is and why at 93 he is out living life. I am so grateful that I got to meet one of my first celebrity heroes and wanted to share the photo and another one from the convention in a replica transporter. Live Long and Prosper."
Elaina’s bold choices extend beyond just dating younger men.
Elaina St James is also known for her bold statements on beauty standards that society imposes on women of all ages.
In one of her Instagram videos from early 2024, Elaina appears wearing a miniskirt, with the caption reading, “Women over 50 should stop wearing miniskirts. I’m 56.”
The video quickly garnered support in the comments, where the thread became a flood of compliments, with many expressing admiration for Elaina’s youthful appearance and fearless choices.
And here’s yet another incredible woman, 77-year-old former Miss Universe, who defies age with her radiant, impossibly youthful beauty.
