Lily Allen is speaking her truth.
Over a month after the “Smile” singer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour’s separation was confirmed, she made some cryptic comments about men’s dating habits.
“Aging is particularly inconvenient if you get your validation from the attention of men, which I do,” Lily explained on a March 20 episode of the Miss Me? podcast. “They seem to like them young, don’t they?”
But Lily’s cohost Miquita Oliver recalled their earlier conversation about the Netflix show Adolescence, arguing that men’s sexual preferences tend to be “the rule of the planet,” adding of Lily getting older, “it’s not your weird nuanced s–t.”
Lily, however, pushed back.
“Older women can see the unattractiveness of men better than young, dumb women,” she continued. “Which is why essentially, men like them young, dumb.”
Miquita lightened up the conversation by jokingly referencing the pair’s recent day-long fling with 60-year-old men in Kenya, noting that their preferences are just getting older.
