I second this. And the new version of Jaune in V7 seems to make it even more plausible. It would also be a funny twist of irony that Jaune had no success being “smooth” in the beginning volumes, and now he’s getting attention without any effort, and by his old crush’s mom no less. And yes, Weiss’ and team RWBY’s reaction would be priceless (Maybe a little jealous huh Ice Queen? Yang’s teasing would kick into overdrive in any case).

Back on my favorite topic! I am not too sure if his new haircut quite does it as he almost seems too boyish. However, it may change when we see how it looks in motion. Of course, the real kick is to have this be only the latest incident of someone taking a shining to him. Kind of hoping Neon or Flynt would have a single mom who seems particularly attentive to Jaune.

Oh come on now. We're not talking groping or explicit comments. It also isn't like he is going to be obviously opposed, but more just utterly confused to where he consistently doesn't know how to respond because he has never been popular with women. However, the point here isn't the behavior, but the sexual interest in Jaune from older women.

As far as just being for a joke, it would be kind of that way with other older women, but with Mama Schnee this would obviously serve another purpose. Weiss interceding actually serves a general plot purpose and works towards character development. Ideally this happens with only Jaune and Weiss present. Jaune is the perfect person for it as well given his family situation is close to idyllic.
