Why do men over 50 chase woman half their age? ( Archived) (134)

I wouldn't read too much into that.

I check out men's profiles too. (those who post on the forums).
Just to know who they are, where they live and what they say about themselves.

It helps to get to know the people you talk to.

Another point is that in some of the little thumbnail photos, it's not always evident how old the person is.

I'm amazed at how many women my age have a much more youthful appearance.
Especially on the main profile photo.
It's natural that they choose the most flattering photo, and that generally means the photo that makes them look youngest.

So I may click on a photo without knowing how old the woman is.
And once there, even if she is younger, I generally scan the profile. Not with any wierd intent, but just general curiosity about people.

Recently, I corresponded a few times with a young woman who's living in Taiwan, just because I used to live there and I wanted to ask her about changes etc.
Just friendly stuff.
There's nothing wrong with friendliness and it shouldn't be viewed with suspicion unless it goes beyond acceptable limits.

And setting those limits is up to the people involved.

I agree that it is totally bad for an older man to hit on young women.
But I must also state that I have seen some young women who intentionally target older men.

Unless someone complains I figure it is their business, not mine.
