Guilt feelings about ageism.

Hello guys.
Just want to share some thoughts about ageism, that keeps on coming back and forth in my mind since 4 days.
There's been an uproar lately with the launch of dating apps, that would popped up on our widow, so not bad to be relieved from curiousity, and communicating with people all over the world is beneficial too, just travelling around the world with less expenses.lol
Building a profile sounds like..I have to attract people on here. Here comes the age range..50 to 60 only, I don't need a father, as nobody could replace my father. Needs a caregiver? I could be, just hire me then. I did not realized I feed ageism, and only a step, I could be counted as member of the club.
crying men of 70's could beat those on 20's when it comes to stamina and women as well. So age range should be omitted to open the dating pool...applause and don't we all want more choices???::peace:

Everybody has their own ideas of what age difference they are happy dating.

I neither want a 70 year old nor a 20 year old. I have a dad and I don't want a son.

So it's not necessarily ageism against older people. It's just choosing who you'd be most compatible with.

Indeed it is Molly
It is just to sum up one's application for example.So it doesn't necessarilly be omitted.cheers handshake
Ayoneq..hi!
If you are here to find and meet a partner, it seems logical that you would want to specify an age range for searching. As Molly said, we feel comfortable with a certain age.
However, it can be frustrating when you think you saw someone here that you are interested in enough to send an message to - only to find you have been blocked by their age preference! How frustrating if you are just a couple of years outside their range yet you know that you are ‘younger and fitter’ mentally and physically than most people 5 years younger..haha. Then I feel that I have been discriminated to by age.

So perhaps restrictions on sending messages ought to be lifted. The receiver doesn’t have to reply and has the choice to block you if you become a pest.

Thanks mollybaby..
Got you..compatibilities is most considered.
But could you see..mollybaby..ageism as an enduring problems on sites like where we are especially towards women, young ones are more sought by men, no matter how old the guys is...that is why many post old photos and lie about their age..frustrations arise who meet them.
Ayoneq, most of the dating sites that I have see have been full of young ladies in their twenties - usually Philipinas and Thai who are stating an age range from 30 up to 75 or even older. It seems they just want to find a husband no matter what!
It seems a little sad. confused
Thanks ysabeljhen.
Nice username as beautiful as you.
The thing is...I keep searching, I found one, sending a message just like..crying
At age 60, he wants 18 to 30...
Ouch! Women my age ...we're all invisible to men our own age..well have respect choices, they want a product of their own..lolkiss kiss kiss
Ayoneq thank u po.
Well CS is mainly a dating site so u expect
the age preference...so its one's choice which
age would fit their tastecheers handshake
robbyeal hello,
Thanks for dropping a comment love it.
Yes, just like mollybaby, it's comfortable to be with, around our age.
It's quite frustrating being blocked due to age preference, not have a single chance to prove..beating the 30's::crying
Well, nothing to do, to combat age discrimination especially on sites like here.
We all knew, it is rampant and illegal, but it is definitely out there.
Just that I have that guilt feelings..so I changed to age 99. So more choices.applause applause
Ayoneq....haha, good idea! Maybe I will change to 29! Hahahah grin
Huh...robbyreal, I was on writing my comment while at work so it took me quite sometime, and just read your new comment..
Concerned about my fellow Filipino, I guess they are not that desperate to find a husband. They are aware of age descrimation, which is why I changed mine to 99 too..lolrolling on the floor laughing
So don't be sad..kiss
Most of the Filipino have that "beauty with a heart" just what Miss World Pia said.
We really have that big and soft heart, especially in my place..so soft spoken..but take note..the " not all or in general",always applies.
But at the same time, not to degrade our being Filipina, just like age preference, have that education preference too, so to have that perfect and lasting relationship as couples. BUT, to have somebody to do things in the house, the what you said , no matter what, those are the desperate ones. They are out of the road too. But face the consequence.
Then again it's all about choices and preferences...head banger angeldancing
Ayoneqthumbs up
Very well understood ysabeljhen, we are here on dating sites, which is why we have to choose . But hey, generating Love is the main goal here. "Love shouldn't have that age limit"applause
My point is, give chance not to let one feel being descrimated. After all everything starts at knowing each other, then be friend , and see the possibilities. Those who quickly say I love you, in just few messages. Guys, save time.
Thanks for the comment, well said.kiss kiss kiss
robbyreallove
When you change the age preference, please have mercy..up to 55 please so I be included. Lolteddybear
Each one is entitled to his/her opinion ayoneqcheers teddybear
Hi Ayoneq - yes, that’s what I thought really. They must be the desperate and young ladies in difficult circumstances. I have met many many Philippinas ( and Philippinos) around the world. Many nurses, child carers, etc...musicians too. They are always lovely and friendly and caring. It was 3 or 4 Filippina nurses who looked after my Mum for 6 years in a nursing home until she finally passed away. They were soooo kind and lovely to her. hug

*oh...haha...yes you are in the middle of my age range here...lol wink
Have taken some of my younger GF's sailing, MC riding, and alpine backpacking. Often the struggle to keep up. But more mature women for my sensibilities at least, are much better. As long as they are healthy and active. And smoke cigars.
Yes, ysabeljhen, we have to respect everybody's opinion as long as, it will not cause harm to anyone.cheers teddybear km
Let's cheers cheers to that kabayanhandshake
Vierkaesehoch hello,
Did I typed it right?
How many young GF's you've got?
You must be the king of young women. Lol
Does the 1:10 ratio applies?
But how is it??? You own a yacht to have those young girls. Didn't you?
Could you share the dramas and the secret agent thing?applausepeace
