Supermodel Brinkley, 71, and Daughter Conduct Shocking Dating App Experiment
5 Aug
Summary
- Sailor Brinkley Cook, 27, conducted a dating app experiment on her mom's behalf
- The results showed older men were interested in both Sailor and her 71-year-old mom Christie Brinkley
- Brinkley theorized older men prefer younger women who will be "impressed" by them

In a recent podcast interview, legendary supermodel Christie Brinkley, now 71 years old, shared a fascinating revelation about her daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook's mischievous experiment on a dating app. Apparently, for about an hour, Sailor "put [Brinkley] up" on a dating app to see "what kind of guys" her mom would match with.
The results were quite startling. According to Brinkley, the same men who expressed interest in Sailor, her 27-year-old daughter, were also saying "yes" to the 71-year-old supermodel. Brinkley theorized that this speaks to a broader trend where older men tend to prefer dating younger women who will be "impressed" by them, rather than women their own age.
The discussion arose as Brinkley and her fellow podcast guest, actress Kristin Davis, dissected a Sex and the City episode exploring similar themes around the dating preferences of older men. Both women agreed there seems to be a significant "dichotomy" in how men and women of a certain age approach dating.
