Older men don’t use them for younger men, but pretty much everyone else uses them in everyone else. And even men to men have an equivalence, complimenting young men’s youth or bodies, but usually not in this type of stranger social situation. More at a restaurant or on the golf course where there is a bit more time. “God you’re young, what do you bench, 250? Do you wrestle?” Etc.

It's died out a lot now, but 30 years ago old men called younger men "love" in Yorkshire.
