'Hot dad' at school gates boasts 'thirsty mums' love him - but not everyone agrees

A TikToker has boasted he is the “hot dad at the school gate” in a number of videos, claiming he leaves mums feeling “thirsty”.

Karl James has posted a number of videos on his social media account in which he pretends to be dropping off and picking up his children.

Whilst sitting at home he pulls a number of faces with the humble brag: “When you’re the ‘hot dad’ at the schoolgate.”

He added the “thirsty mums” apparently love him.

In another of the videos he wrote: “I feel bad for whoever [is] next ‘cause I’m the ex who could be back any time.”

Some people agreed, some disagreed with his video (@_karljames_/TikTok)

A number of fans agreed he was attractive while others called him vain.

One said: “I’d be too busy looking and forget my kids lol.”

Another said she wished he was standing at her school gate, to which one person replied: “Not everyone.”

Meanwhile a fashionable woman in her 60s is defying society's assumptions of what a woman of her age should be wearing with her fun outfits.

She's now inspiring others to wear what they love, regardless of what's expected of them.

California-based mum Gym Tan, 62, recently took to TikTok to remind followers you can 'dress however you want at whatever age', and has been widely praised.

Highlighting the disparity between how society expects her to dress and what she actually likes to wear, the former stylist shared a clip of herself wearing a modest black jumper and glasses, shaking her finger pointedly at the camera. The video then cuts to Gym looking poised and confident in a shimmering short dress, all glammed up and night out ready.

In the clip, Gym, who goes by the username @californiaistoocasual, said: "What people expect me to look like and wear in my 60s. Sorry to disappoint."

Gym went on to reveal that her beautiful dress is by Mona Hamid, a designer in residence at the Fashion Incubator, San Francisco where Gym is both a board member and mentor. She also credited age-positive influencer @tingmystyle for providing fashion inspiration.

Impressed followers hailed Gym as 'dazzling' and 'absolutely luminous', with one person jokingly begging her to 'please keep disappointing'.
