2intrigued: You've limited your age preferences to women who are 60 and under so what would you say to a 63 year old woman posting this same question.
May have less to do with age, more about showing scammers as friends..
I'm came from a very supportive family and yet simple, loving and happy. I'm the eldest of 8 siblings. I'm responsible and hardworking daughter to my parents. I'm independent and be able to stand on my own. I'm strong, humble, caring, sweet, loving, honest, God-fearing and loyal. I'm ready to face

Now there, is a truism. When I check out a profile, I read it, I look at their listed friends too. At 60 I find birds of a feather often really do tend to flock together. After a few years here and elsewhere the scammer profiles tend to kind of jump out. So if the pretty ladies profile is just full of testimonials from known scammers and some of her 'friends' are too, well why is she flocking with fakes? Might be she is fake too. Worth a consideration.. You want us to believe you are real, then use a little discretion in who you 'friend.'
I have my email blocked to women older than me. LoL, some have complained about it. Tough.
Some women have their emails blocked to men my age. That's their choice.
I also have a life outside of the Internet, which means I actually sometimes meet and play with real live women who range from their mid 20s on up. I have no health issues. I work out. My waist is smaller than my inseam. I probably can bench press more than a lot of guys half my age. I can give a compliment, and be smooth too. Some women already in relationships call me dangerous. LoL
I am here for the blogs and the forums. Frankly I find durn few women on CS with accounts less than 30 days activity who live locally to me. Distance DOES matter. That being said, I do make some connections on CS, with both women pushing my age and some <horrors> more than half my age. Call them pen pals. Since I have E-known them for years now, I'm pretty convinced they are real. Some have 'strong' Internet presence off CS, but you won't see it till you learn the other names. And I mean more presence than just a free Facebook account. :)
Nice ladies. Someday I may hit the lottery and get a passport and some Visas and go visit them for a cup of coffee. Any other plans are unrealistically silly. We are mostly just pen pals although one or two have called voice or sent small tokens.
What do they get out of it? Probably the same as me, someone they can reach out and talk to. Some have left CS, that's fine. I can reach them anytime.
silverwolf109: I am trying to find out why most honest women I have seen here limit their age preferences to men who are 60 and under. It seems like there is some kind of invisible barrier and those of us over 60 are either totally out to pasture, or possible scam targets.
Not even they bother to look at mine... .. I'm 15 years younger than you..
Age may be just a number, but many people feel more comfortable with people in their own general age-group - shared interests; socialising habits; life experience, etc.

I am also listed on 2 Asian Dating sites and as already mentioned I get sick of girls young enough to be my granddaughter contacting me. They seem to think that if they talk nice to an old man and tell a sob story he will bend over backwards, if he can still bend at all that is, to send them money . They all get deleted by me. On CS I do get women looking at my profile but they seem very shy . It is down to the individual.

Men write women off for being too old easier than women write men off for being too old.. Age, appearance and the things which don't really define you as a person women have a greater tolerance for(in men). Whereas men are more forgiving of a woman who is a dork or makes bad jokes. We're more tolerant about the things which do define her as a person.
Do you think you're taking enough initiative with the women? They don't just come to you, you know.. I'm 27 and I do get some profile views but maybe a fifth of the number it would be had I been born a girl.

Just add to your profile that you recently won the lottery , then you,l get plenty of response,, but dont let it slip that it was just a tenner ...
More importantly why do so many lie about their age? Or is it that they have a very old or stolen picture? Yes, I view men over 60, and never more than a couple years younger than myself. Always a few years younger and older, but prefer older. Age is a number yes, but I want to relate with those about my own age so we have things in common. I have shoes older than some that view me
unlaoised: It all depends on the frame of mind, reb. Some 60 year olds are oldddd...others are spring chickens
still have pep in step,i think so too,noticed it in elders,ones who thought old mom/rip,etc.passed at younger age,dad 82 gets up n goes/drives,etc.doesnt slow down,last feb.he lost friends younger n older,they got down,n it was over/rip.

Well put Molly, true for me...
I definitely feel more at ease with my own age group...
