A ‘hot mother’ who looks identical to her 21-year-old daughter has revealed all about her romantic life – including going on double dates with her child and constantly having her dating profile deleted.
Joleen Diaz, 44, from California, puts her youthful glow down to old-fashioned clean living and gets younger men sliding into her DMs on a regular basis.
However, dating isn’t as straightforward as it seems for the internet appointed ‘hot mother’ – as she claims people keep reporting her Hinge profile because they think she’s a catfish.
Originally from Guam, the high school teacher and mother-of-one moved to California when she was ten and has been single since splitting from daughter, Meilani’s, father 14 years ago.

‘I’m actually on Hinge but I’ve had my account deleted several times,’ Joleen told Jam Press.
‘It’s funny, I think people think I’m a fake account and report me.’
‘I could link my Instagram to my profile, which would likely help prove that it’s really me but I don’t do it because I think my social media doesn’t present the simple, down-to-earth person I am.’
‘I’d like to be able to connect with someone and then explain my social media to them once they know me a bit more.’
Joleen is looking for a man her age or older as she thinks they are more pragmatic and looking for someone to enjoy simple things in life

Joleen (left) said there’s a downside to being a ‘hot mother’ because she’s constantly bombarded with messages from men who ask her out. But she knows that they’re just ‘curious’ and not really interested in pursuing something meaningful
Joleen isn’t short of male suitors, with over 565,000 followers on Instagram (@joleendiaz) and they often ask her out on dates.
She said: ‘I do get younger men messaging me on my social media.’
‘The majority of the messages are very polite and most are very complimentary and positive about me promoting a positive lifestyle.’
‘They do ask to go out on a date, maybe dinner or a hike, but I know that this is just curiosity and not a real intent on pursuing anything more than the narrative they think of me.’

‘When younger men ask me out on dates, I find it equally as flattering as men my age or older asking me out.’
‘I think it takes a lot of courage to approach someone and ask them to meet with you one-on-one.’
‘I think some younger men tend to fantasise a bit more about what it would be like dating someone older, where men my age or older are more pragmatic and looking for someone to enjoy simple things in life.’
However, Joleen isn’t interested in dating a toyboy.

Jolene gravitates towards ambitious, motivated men, and likes someone who is confident, has a positive outlook and can communicate well
Despite not wanted to date much younger men, Joleen finds it equally as flattering because she knows it takes courage to approach her
The mum said: ‘Age isn’t a deal-breaker for me, it’s about finding someone I’m able to help continue becoming a better person and growing, and them doing the same for me.’
‘But I don’t want to date a toyboy.’
‘I would never even remotely consider dating someone who is young enough to be friends with my daughter.’

Even though Meilani (right) is half Joleen’s age, the pair look strikingly similar and could easily be confused for siblings
Being a huge lover of fitness and healthy living, Joleen’s potential beau must love being outdoors and being physically active

The mum said: ‘When we are both seeing people we will often go bowling, to the movies, hikes, to the beach.’
‘We haven’t gone on a double date recently but she and I are very close so we definitely will again.’
‘Melani asks for my advice on dating all the time.’
‘I love that she trusts in the advice I give, I feel like she’s well-balanced in dating and I’m glad my experiences can help her out.’
If anyone out there is considering sliding into Joleen’s DMs, she has some stipulations on the type of men she prefers.
The mum added: ‘I gravitate towards ambitious, motivated men, someone who is confident, has a positive outlook and can communicate well.’
‘They must be able to contribute equally, both financially and emotionally, in a relationship and they have to love dogs as I have a golden retriever.’
‘They also must love being outdoors and being physically active.’
