Super fit nan who is 'ready to date again' forced to bat away guys in their 20s

A super-fit grandma who is forced to bat away her young admirers with a stick has told how that she is ready to date again – but she prefers her men old and grey.

Andrea Sunshine, 53, from London, is a bodybuilder with 53,000 followers on Instagram, with people calling the ripped grandmother a "beast".

Younger men frequently slide into her DMs and while they might be hopeful, Andrea says she isn't interested unless they have grey hairs.

"Well, I can’t be a hypocrite, getting attention from young guys turns me on, makes me proud of my shape and works pretty much as fuel for my ego, makes me feel good and empowered," she said.

"But since a young age I was never really attracted to boys, I have been more interested in mature guys.

"I love those with grey hair. I have had few experiences with young boys during my lifetime, as I did with older people."

Andrea is currently single, having divorced her ex-husband years ago with the heartbreak becoming the catalyst for her fitness journey.

She said: "I have been divorced for quite a long time. In fact, the fitness lifestyle went to my life right after my divorce, as compensation, at this point of time I felt miserable and sad.

"After many years of being alone trying to find out more about who I was, and what I am here for, I have succeeded.

"I am ready to open up my heart again, for someone interesting and passionate."

Young men across the globe will be thrilled to know that while she prefers an older partner – the fitness influencer isn't completely ruling out having a younger lover.

Andrea added: "The bottom line between us it's [about] the chemistry, it’s not about ages, it's a question of how comfortable you are with who you are with.

"In my opinion, the mature guys are more into women's needs.

"The young guys are more worried about themselves, although most of the time they are fresher and hotter!"

Meanwhile, one claims he's in love with a grandmother 37 years older than him says they are very happy and have a great sex life.

Quran McCain, 24, is married to Cheryl, 61, after the pair first met and began dating in 2020 - and according to Quran, he even lost his virginity to her.
