An **old man uke** is a character over the age of 46 who I want to rotate in my head and bang against other Barbie dolls.  It is one of my favorite types of uke.  

There is a "gap moe" appeal between what normal society traditionally considers "cute" (tiny baby animals), and the cuteness of an old man.  You will often see this "gap moe" in say, wrestling fangirls who think Abdullah the Butcher is super kawaii, or teenagers that have Gollum as their widdle huggable blorbo.
===== Examples =====


| **Name**       | **Media**   | **Appeal**                 |
| Bruce Wayne  | Batman Beyond  | 80+, depressed, disabled, and lonely  |
| Paul Heyman       | Pro Wrestling      | 60+, naughty          |
| Willem Dafoe       | Actor      | 69+, genki          |
| [[characters:senspai:basile|Basile]]     | My ocs donutsteel      | 55+, kind of a bitch          |

===== Old? =====
46+ years is the baseline for an "old" character.  They must also be visibly aged in some way - whether it's sag, wrinkle, gray hair, or baldness.  So a 1000 year old smooth elf twink doesn't count, and neither does Benjamin Button.  Ideally they'd be over 55+ years old, and thus eligible for a senior discount at IHOP.

There is no one set personality type for an "old" character.  I find "grumpy old characters beaten by time and experience" to be very cute, just as I find "genki optimistic characters that still believe in a brighter tomorrow despite the sands of time" to be very cute.  As long as their personality is somewhat influenced by their longer time on earth, it's all cool.

===== Man? =====
The uke does not need to be a man.  The uke can be male, female, none, and all.  Ukes that I find appealing are often androgynous or play with gender presentation in some way.  I will often call these characters "MILVES" no matter their gender.

===== Uke? =====
The uke is definitely a bottom.  All my faves are bottoms, because I would like to insert bananas into their mouths to see how many would fit in there.

Is the old man uke necessarily submissive?  Not always!  There are some like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin that have too much zest for life to stop bouncing and screaming.  The more "dominant" old man ukes may overlap with [[evil uke]].
