Why did Socrates only hang out with pretty boys if he was so chaste and virtuous?

>But why then should the Wise seek the Ignorant, or be more charitable to the Beautiful than to others? There is something in it savouring of the Use of that time: in which Matter though Socrates be acknowledged for continent, yet the Continent have the Passion they contain, as much and more than they that satiate the Appetite; which maketh me suspect this Platonick Love for meerly sensual; but with an honourable Pretence for the Old to haunt the Company of the young and beautiful.
—Thomas Hobbes, Human Nature, Chap. 9
