I've noticed, and not just of late, that most guys profiles specify age ranges way younger than themselves. I saw one just now, he was 38, said age range 18-28. Another 38 wanted women 25-30.
Now, I dont wanna seem ageist or anything, but I just wonder what would a 25 year old have in common with a 38 year old?? I know tastes in music etc are not necessarily age-related but come on guys!!! Surely you are more likely to find common ground with a woman nearer your own age ?
I suspect that a 38 year old may have sown his wild oats and want to settle down and have kids, in which case he has better chance with younger women.... but a fifty-something, who wants a thirty-something ?? That's TWENTY years, for **** sake !
If women were to specify guys fifteen to twenty years younger than them, we would be villified, laughed at, scorned etc etc.... So what do all you guys and gals out there think ??
i agree with you, to each their own but you are right when it comes to what age group or there abouts have things in common or not, when i was looking i too would look to see how young they would go, the YOUNGER the BIGGER TURN OFF, seriously, i saw some nice looking men that wanted to be boys going for the younger ones so i didn't bother to flower or email them, all because of that, says a lot to me.JMO
agreed! and no matter what I put on my profile I always have someone that thinks that it should be different so what the heck?? lol...It's just me anyway! ;-}
The guy I lived with for 6 months that I had met here, and broke up with only 5 months ago, said age didn't matter he was 5 yrs younger than me. Within 2 months He decided I was too old for him he said. Now he came back looking for females 18 to 29
