Why is it that I looked at 41 pages of men who are possible candidates for my age group and yet there are only 5 or 6 "mature" men posting here? I want to know WHY they're not posting! Most of them are most likely retired and able to post. Are they intimidated in any way? Do they not like the topics? (THAT could be fixed if they'd post their OWN topics.) Are they lazy? Are they REALLY not interested in meeting someone?

Okay...I'm curious and hope to get a few responses. I just don't get it! dunno

well Sandals maybe they are intimidated or maybe they just don't have anything to say,or maybe what they do have to say they might think nobady would be interested in hearing it...either way they should at least check out the potings that are here they might find something or someone that may appeal to them

I've seen many people, male and female, that sit on the sidelines, read, but don't feel comfortable messaging or commenting. I try to get everyone involved. You need to have your face out in view, your personalitiy, your thoughts, your opinions, so eveyone has a chance to get to know one another. So for those of you reading, get interactive. Peacepeace

I am 56 and really don't feel welcome on this site. I don't know if other "older" guys feel the same way.

But it seems that this internet dating thing is really geared to younger people

I am only here because I refuse to give up, and I feel that my views are as relevant as any other. head banger

hot-T....I think you're right! They're "intimidated" in some way.

Oh well...I'm off to make breakfast, get showered, dressed, and do a for things around the house. I'll check back later to see if ANYONE has posted an answer to this mystifying question!

Have a great day! peace

Ship...thank you for posting! You might be right about these sites being geared to those in their 20's, 30's and 40's. Anyone over 50 seems to get lost in the shuffle.

I DO think you have to "think" young to keep up with most of the topics! Maybe THAT'S why there's only a few of us mature posters here.

Again, thanks for your input. Have a great day. Okay..I'm NOW going to get my butt in gear!dancing

also, I think that maybe alot of people sign up, thinking this is a good thing, then decide it's not what they are looking for. But they don't take the time to remove thrmsrlves...they just move onconfused

BND and CIN...I didn't see your posts prior to Ships, but thanks for posting!

At least I'm getting some insight to my question. Lots of younger men prefer older women and there's nothing wrong with it. Personally, I cannot imagine myself involved with anyone who's young enough to be my son! Just plain can't do it! (don't throw tomatoes at me!! laugh )

well you know if a person puts themselves out there in a post they won't get lost in the shuffle irregardless of their age...and truthfully its not that the sites are geared to those in their 20's,30's,and 40's its just hthat they are more willing and more confident in putting themselves out there....if you want to be known and heard you need to speak up and if you are afraid of getting lost in the shuffle than HOLLER and don't let yourself be lostprofessor

Ship, THAT could be the case as well! I didn't think to check on all those applicants to see when they last signed on.
