lusciousmile: I quite understand. I wouldn't date men 20 yrs younger than i am. It wouldn't be legal in my case, anyway.
Not only illegal but possibly ill-advised in terms of overall compatibility, Luscious!

Hey i have had the same time and time again, so now i start my profile with"please read me profile before contacting me" but it falls on deaf ears! what do these young children think, that because we are older were desperate? I don't think so, and the fact that we are successful business women do they think it's going to be an easy ride for them......ummmm NO THANKS! MY REPLY TO THEM WOULD BE THE SAME! it actually gets to a point where it is more offensive than flattering.
you go girl!!!! there has to be some decent men out there around our age group? i hope.
cheers and don't give up, i hav'nt.

perhaps a "not interested" reply + a block if he persists?
i think you are being a bit too harsh on them

Freeya: if she is really so young and hence still in a moldable mind state, that kind of letter could induce a shock severe enough to limp her for life with a lon word phobia
That's an excellent point, Freeya. I've been known to induce sesquipedalian-phobia in women - young and old alike.
Tough job, but someone has to do it...?

Ambrose2007: Ah, Dana...perhaps you haven't noticed, but **you're** just a young girl relative to me? But somehow I just can't make myself send this form letter to you or that other nymph, Uli.
And I think I can speak for Uli since she isn't here at the moment and say "thank you. we would be devastated to receive such a letter from you."

And what about you, Freeya? How would you feel receiving one from someone that is in her mid-50's? Oh God, that just seems so young!!

Ok, that was a joke, but i'll answer seriously on the question:
as a matter of fact, i have received a couple from that age group. And if you see from my previous responce on the thread, i am not the one to answer back in a harsh manner. Given that i am approached in good manners of course. I would probably write back, returning the compliment and politely refusing.
Maybe i am naive, but it has worked for me on both occasions.
If you meant if i sented to somene in her mid fifties: I wouldnt, 10 years plus/minus is the furthest i would go

I agree, 10 years plus/minus is a pretty good rule of thumb.

although, in my age (32), i would find it extremely difficult to connect and communicate with a 22 year old...

but we see eye to eye on this
lets see who can outstare who

Ok guys, sorry I ditched my own thread... I have been on an IM for the past two and a half hours with an incredibly intelligent and interesting man of 48 years!!!! and to think I almost didn't answer it because I thought it might be the 28 year old....
You guys have done some great posts, just got done reading through them, thanks Dana just have a bit of a sore throat and am really tired... after not working for 5 months these 10 hour days 6 days a week are killing me, it'll take a couple weeks to get back in the swing of things.
Jeff, I'm LMFAO... brilliant letter, you're always so witty and dry... I love your sense of humor.
Like I said, I really was of two minds on my response and I'm actually really surprised at how many of you agreed with it... to be honest I kind of thought I was being an arrogant bi*ch, but his reply relieved me of any misgivings on that front. But I think I'll probably just go back to ignoring...

To me the only reason a boy of that age would contact me is that he is after something, money, a visa, etc. and I do find it insulting that he would think I'm stupid enough to feel flattered or desperate enough to give him what he's looking for.

i see your point... if we are talking a 20 year old...
but what is "that" age?
is an average looking 30 year old man "that age" still? that would immediate divert your mind to those things?

He's 28, and if the approach had been something along the lines of... I read your profile and you seem really interesting... or I noticed that you like diving, I love it too, that would be great, we have something in common that could be the basis of a friendship or some conversation...
but when the approach is... you are so beautiful, I can't believe you are 48, I would think 28 or 30, I'm really impressed with you, I think we can be life partners...
