and I have to ask:

why is the label 'dirty old man' considered such a slur or put-down?

It is a slur or a put-down because it is saying that a man is wanting to be with a woman that is young enough to be his daughter and that makes him a child molester.


I was a dirty young man (well still am, I suppose, depending on your definition)

I fully intend to blossom into becoming a dirty middle-aged man

AND, eventually, a dirty old man!!


Good to have goals in life. lol


in the sense that I don't think I'll ever lose my appreciation for beautiful women

who is anyone to tell me I must restrict my appreciation to a certain age range?

I think looking at your profile, you told yourself. You also have mail restrictions by age. Seems you have 23-35. So why would you have a problem with the op not wanting to hear from older men, when you do not want to hear from older women?

does 'dirty' mean you are still interested in sex? I would take that as a sign of vitality and mental & physical wellness. the reverse would be a concern.


I don't think so. Having an interest in sex means you are still alive.

Dude, my only real question for you, is why would a guy that looks like you need to be on a dating site? You must have women from 16 to 80 hitting on you on a daily basis.



Now to the OP, I would say they are writing you because they are interested in you. If you are not interested in them, don't write back. A very simple solution to a very simple problem.

Me, I don't worry so much about age. It all depends on the person.

These men want a younger women in their lives because the women in their age group are mature and intelligent. They think youger women are going to make their lives better. I agree with you on that they could be your father. That is why I don't date youger women for that reason. And what would your parents think about me dating you only to do the ( use know what I'm saying) . That is why you will never see me e-mailing younger women. I think they losing their minds when they go after youger women. I know my age group that tell me I should go for the younger women(Puke on my computer ). For me a women in my own age group is the only women to date. How can you talk about things when they happen decades apart. The type of music, dancing, and even technology.. I feel frutration about these men after you. Some men are just not growing up and face reality with their own lives.

Just to play devil's advocate here...once again, as I said earlier, the older one gets, the less relative age becomes. I mean, would you still really consider a 50 year old woman dating a 66 year old man to imply the man is in any way a child molester, simply because the 50 year old *could* possibly be the same age as his own children, if he'd had them when he was really young? Especially since the OP is of age and all, and not even a teenager, at that. I'm just saying. Some 24 year olds are attracted to men closer to 40, some aren't, but it hardly makes the 40 year old men emailling her pedophiles or child molesters in any way because the OP is well above the age of consent.

OP, easy solution to your problem, is to add some age restrictions to your profile settings, and problem solved. Take it as a compliment I guess that these older men are emailling you, say "thanks but no thanks" in the meantime, and then alter your profile so they can no longer email you.

Well it's not like all these very young girls dating older men are very attractive anyways. Usually very attractive young girls that look like they're models or girls in LA don't care for well traveled intellectual types. They just want a muscular bad boy or pretty boy type no matter how immature or how bad they treat them. Younger smarter girls who are in to reading and traveling and arts tend to be less attractive. They are cute but not exactly a dime piece. These women usually prefer men twice their age.

I agree with empress as long as there is an attraction whats the big deal I'm pretty sure someone that is 24 has enough sense and maturity to know what she or he is getting into

What do they seriously think?


It's natural to be attracted to someone who is young and healthy. That's part of our reproductive drive. We want to select mates who will produce healthy offspring. That's fine if you object for moral reasons, but it's pretty silly to even ask what's "wrong" with them.

I think you need to rephrase the question to, "What is wrong with young girls who date older men?" because the converse can be just as easily applied. How nice of you to assume that the man is at fault since, you know... consenting adults don't really share equal responsibility for their actions.

I happen to be attracted to men well into their 40's, just as much as I'm attracted to men my own age. I don't think that when I do become 40, I will suddenly lose interest in 20-year olds. Would I date someone old enough to be my father? Sure. I might even do a little roleplaying with that. Sounds kinky!

Has anyone ever told you that you bear a strong ressemblance to Bruce Willis?

What are you even doing on this site? You should be too busy fending the groupies off.

Now I don't have a dog in this fight since I tend to prefer women my age or a bit older, but to equate let's say a 45 year old man dating a 21 year old woman with a "child molester" is really absurd.

1. 21 is NOT a child. In fact, in most states the legal age of consent 18 if I'm not mistaken.

2. It totally denies the right of said 21 year old to date or screw whoever the hell she wants to, in fact it is simply DEHUMANIZING and MARGINALIZING her, all in the name of self-righteous paternalism.

3. It simply is sticking your nose into the private business of two legal consenting adults and begs the question, "do you have a life at all? or are you just envious and frustrated?"

In my opinion there are a LOT of guys on here just looking for a good sex partner.

I think they are viewing you that way.

Please do not take any offense - Just noting you are extremely attractive to them.

But really, guys that is not what all women are looking for on this site first and foremost.

Females want to be wanted for other reasons besides looking good.
We want to be liked for being decent people, charismatic, intelligent, & funny.

misssynne, you need to be selective. On here you are bound to get ALL types of people.

Think of it this way. You have a choice, where some people dont.

Good luck in finding Mr Right.

Yecats8.

unfortunately huni, my daughter has this problem, why do men of 40 plus want to date a much younger girl??? simple, the men like to control her and of course have someone pretty on their arm!!! mainly for their ego, im not saying this is the case for all men, but it explains alot nowadays!

If these men want to meet women, why in the world do they not answer you when you send them a message. Its very confusing, if they don't want to take the time out to meet,or even answer you, why are they on POf. Confused in Sayreville.

no that would only be true IF the young woman in question IS a child

that is not true if she could be the age of his daughter, but is an ADULT..

can you grasp the difference?

a 24 year old woman is NOT a CHILD despite however much you might wish she would be forever child-like and dependent on YOUR good judgment to make decisions for her

she does not need your patronizing protection..

I'm sure glad you are not making the laws ..you would have 50- year old men jailed if they dated a 30 year old woman apparently? (she'd be young enough to be his daughter)

take up a real cause or find something real to worry about maybe..you must have too much time on your hands to worry so much about this non-issue

there is nothing wrong with "men". you simply don't understand them, which most women dont', just like most men don't understand most women. most older men are not interested in having a meaningful relationship with you sweetie. they want uncomplicated sex and they think a younger woman can give them that without all the strings.

I sympathize. This has been happening to me ever since I was about 12. Now I'm 37, and I routinely get messaged from men in their 50s.

It's because the most important thing to (most) men is women's youth and beauty. It's flattering and disgusting at the same time.

Unless you use the mail restrictions, you will get mail from ages 18 to 88.

I know a man in his 60s who was involved with a 22 year old hooker. He was in love with her. It hurt him knowing that she could be with other men, but because he wanted a young girl, he had to tolerate the situation he got himself in. He said: "Now I can die a happy man."
