And why would any woman who could get younger (better looking and fitter) go for older? Works both ways. I suppose though that younger does not necessarily mean better looking and fitter. Think of George Clooney and Sharon Stone, then compare them with kids half their age on the streets, I know who I would prefer, think it boils down to looks. But then the men on these dating sites greatly outnumber the women - (does anyone know why?) and it has been said many times that men give up ever receiving replies from women. I think they should be realistic.
Hi yeh but I go down as well as up! (age wise) And a lot of men will only go down! Thats the difference. Just had a look at Zwink, but Switzerland is not in the drop down - weird. Thanks, have a nice day.
No, thats OK if you want a penpal, but if you are looking for dating and a relationship, most people like to have a drink and have dinner and go out - then I, who's Swiss, cannot see much point in being contacted by a man, say in Australia. so when you say 'Would I refuse? ' Would I refuse what? To talk to him? to meet up with him? When you consider that most online dating meets are not always very sucessful, then it's a long way to travel to decide that this man is not what youre looking for?? Am I right? As for the age thing, yes I agree it's up to the person, but take a look at the majority of mens required ages, nearly all want a lot younger but are not all prepared to go out with their own age or older, as for me and my friends then yes, we fnd it creepy and I for one would avoid a man who does this. I already have a father and I dont want another one thanks. Its like we're living in the Middle Ages.
Hi Glatlol, I meant that as a rule women in their early thirties and twenties (missed out the 'early') do not want to date men of 40 plus, if you look at my profile, I go either way of about 5 or 6 years. But check out a lot of the mens required ages and they very often will go down to 10 or so years younger but not so much if at all older. If you get time, look at the website - it is a US website.
I receive a lot of messages from men much older than me, although I state my age preferences. If men are not getting many replies maybe they need to consider that most women in their early thirties do not want to date men in their 40's - most women find it creepy to be honest. My friend has just sent me this thread:
We are not living in the days when women need to marry any old man anymore, most women have their own jobs etc so we do not need to get hitched to a older man, but still I get messages from a man, say around 40 odd, who specifies he wants to date 30-40 women. And you can't tell me that just because he has been a commitment phobe all his life he suddenly wants a young woman to look after him when he hits 40 plus. Also, why do some men (and I guess some women ) on dating sites try to hook up with you if they are not even in your area, I means hundreds of miles away? I know all about scammers - but are these people for real? Or just wanting to skype all the time?
