You specify what age range you are looking in, but I get messages from guys I think are "too old" for me. Age might be a number but I have a limit. Ick. I never reply. I wish more men cared to read and respected what my profile actually said.

Oh right sorry

Let me guess.

The people contacting you tend to be:
From from some far off country.
From a distant city in North America.
Have written something that tells you that they haven't read your profile.
You read their profile, there is little there and what is there doesn't make sense.
They right away give you their name and a E-mail address.



I get those too, but in the female version.

The last one I got was from a 20 year old from Toronto. Why a 20 year wants to date a 48 year old man? Hell I'm old enough to be her dad and she could be the 3rd or 4th child at that.

I tend to write them off as fakes. Scammers trying to get your E-mail address so they can spam you, and who knows what else.

Depends on how far out of that age range they are.... JMO.

If they are too close to my parent s age... not to date. Be friends with OK, but date. sorry no.

If they are under the age of 40.... sorry, it's my feeling we will not have as much in common to talk about. I can be friends with them, but JMO, someone whom I can talk about things like old TV shows from when we were kids or stuff like that, can be fun to talk about and laugh at.

It does not mean that the people out of the age range I put are not nice, it just has to do with comfort zone.


I am not saying meeting or dating someone out of that age range is bad, because you never know who you might meet.

That 62 yr old.... turned out to be something else.

Remember that a lot of people don't read the profiles ..... they simply click on the picture. As for someone being "too old" for you - its all a matter of perspective .... to some people its extremely important and to others it doesn't even register. I do agree that it would be nice if people respected each other - but I simply take this as a way to wade through the rocks to discover the gem. I'm grateful when I get glimpses into a person's character - it helps me realize - yes I'm attracted to them for this reason ........ or thank goodness - I'm avoiding them like the plague.

Take it as a compliment no need to reply to these old guys sorry I read your profile and did not leave you a message cause you are too young for me

A man looking for a woman on Cs doesn't always look at your age, because as far as he is concen you are of the legal age to be posted. However in saying this, ignore it and go for those you are interested in. Can't blame a man for trying.

Geez its terrible being an old man.......guess I'll crank up some Nickleback.....roll one......and relax in the senior citizens hottub

I almost fall off my chair laughing

Only to some folks you are older, but to older women you probably are their companion.

I almost fall off my chair laughing.

Have you thought about this in reverse?


Males in the age range you are in, prefer women in an age range younger than you? Have you looked at a profile, thought wow, and then looked at their age preference?

Example, a male in the 50 to 55 yr age range, will only date women younger than 45? They are not interested in women that are in their 50's. One 58 yr old co worker told me he wants nothing to do with women 50 yrs old because they are going through menopause, are obese, get old fast and don't like sex.

Anyone have opinions on that? I promise I will put away the rolling pin I'd normally use on heads of stupid idiots.

Just My Opinion......but so long as Two people find compatability and mutual respect........love has no age limit

I will admit though that I do prefer younger women but only because of the lifestyle I myself lead.....my 13 year old daughter needs a father AND a friend.......I prefer LOUD metal........and my Hero is Victor Newman..........and something Ive also heard quoted by many women......"that Men never really grow up".........GUILTY!!!!

Perhaps a NEW relationship with a woman going through menopause may be difficult.....but its a part of life.....and if your partner cant understand and support you through it......you may have made the wrong choice

Friends of mine are a great couple. A couple people could take lessons from. The friend that decided these two should meet was not told about age being a problem.

When he met her, she was a widow with 4 teen aged children. JMO, most guys would run in a situation like this.

They have been married for over 17 yrs now. Her children call him Papa .. the grandchildren love their Grandpa.

This couple also have the same colored white hair, give each other that look and smile at each other. He is 11 yrs younger than she is. He did not view her as an older women with 4 kids.... he saw her as a beautiful woman from the start. He did not run away.

The age difference was never a problem for either one of them. They hold hands everwhere.... and whenever we were at a dinner or dance/party and one of them was across the room or even just across the table, they had this little sign they gave to each other. It's their sign for I love you.

It might sound like a silly fairy tale, but they have been through lots regarding raising 4 teens, health issues, death of a child, etc., but have stuck be each other, and still can give that smile and look to each other.

So if I could, I would love to have what they have.... still have that "I'm in love with you" smile at the end of the day, no matter what life has thrown at us, and strong enough to stay and support each other through all of it. Still want to hold hands....

By some of today's standards, and from what I have seen on some profiles, this couple might not have met if it they had the feeling that age was a problem. (JMO)

Whew......didnt get the rolling pin........YET!!!

Don't worry, It's hidden behind my back.... did you really really really believe I would put it out of fast reaching distance????

hahahaha.....actually I only believe 1 thing right now......I believe I'll have another beer

So I'm a 'younger' woman now ...knew I liked you for a reason

I may be accused of using double standards here but I'm being honest........I have always gone out and prefered older guys,age doesn't bother me as long as it's on the plus side.
What freaks the holy beejeebus out of me is the 19-20 something age range who hit on me......eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww(sorry)Personally being a mom,I'm not comfortable witht he idea of being with someone who could be my kid.as a woman ,I'm not interested in playing teacher of being a MILF

I am VERY happy with the age difference I'm involved with,suits me just fine.

chances are you would be a trophy on there arms, and it wouldn't be anything sexual, you never know... some of us have so much to give and just don't want to chase women any more.
depends on how you look at it... you could be throwing away everything you ever wanted by not taking a chance.
anyway all to there own, and the best of luck to you.
