But this is exactly whats happening with the 'older vote'. I can try to draw parallels to show what I mean...but this may come across as insulting. I do not actually think this, I am simply using it as an example...basically

Would the gay community vote for Raph as the want his cock? (Cant see beyond their lust...implied)
Or Deborah as she would be a decent straight best friend?
Maybe Tom as he is hot and they don't have a mind of their own beyond seeing someone is goodlooking? They are all just thirsty.
Or possibly Isabelle as surely they like good TV sometimes. )Usually they just like crap and people they can oggle. Surely at times they actually like other things..implied)

See how this looks when its about LGBT people?

I genuinely do not see why it is fine to insult a whole demographic of people, make out they have some kind of hive mind and (usually) make out they will only vote as they fancy someone, or vote out girls as they are jealous.

Voting on attraction is certainly not exclusive to older women, and I would never suggest that. People read between the lines there. I can probably list ten examples off the top of my head where people of all ages and genders have decided their fave based on attraction.
me saying 'surely they like good tv sometimes' was more a statement on my personal preference, cos I couldnt think of a better way to fill the blank. I decided on making a joke out of myself.
I personally think people came in to the thread and read the OP in one of two tones of voices, I dont know how to resolve that. Emojis look bitchy 9 times out of 10 to me!
