What is wrong with men?
Women, is what is wrong with men!
Other than that.............
Anna Nicole Smith proved that there are no limits other than personal limits! | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/1/2009 4:26:35 PM | | Why limit yourself age-wise? You can learn so much from older men. I highly recommend you give it a try. You would be surprised what you can learn and experience. I simply do not understand why anyone would be so particular about ages for people they date. There are all kinds of people out there and it is only to your advantage to experience as many types of men as possible. Life and dating is a learning experience. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/1/2009 5:05:53 PM | That I would want to date someone that could easily be my father?
if they can easily be your father its not saying much for mom. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/6/2009 5:16:53 PM | | i don't see why anyone should be made to feel that they should explain they're preferences. if you like older or if you like younger it's all your choice. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/6/2009 5:27:40 PM | | It could be worse, you could be getting emails from women who are old enough to be your mother, but look like your father. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/6/2009 5:45:07 PM | Over 40?! Yeah, what's wrong with them? I would think any man would want to be able to relate and hold a conversation with someone he can! Sounds like it's all physical to me. I think they should watch Millionaire Matchmaker, the owner has this problem day after day. Hang in there!
Conversation between a 24 and a 45 yr old.
45 yr. old: I like Springsteen and U2
24 yr. old: I like Linkin Park and Nickleback
45 yr. old: Who are they???  | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/6/2009 5:53:45 PM | I think the OP is just fishing for compliments. She doth protest too much. Look at those pics and then wonder why the contact from older men. For one thing, many "older" men (younger in my books) think they are hot studs and can't accept they are ageing. Secondly, women get smarter, more assertive and independent as they get older- and much less needy. We therefore are harder to manipulate, we're on to crap really fast, and don't put up with it. We are not in awe of men with money, senior positions, good bodies, etc since we are usually that ourselves.
So young thing. Older men like you because you are young, naive and much more easily impressed. Older women, especially those with some success and accomplishment, are much too intimidating. So I've been told.
Have no clue why you complain anyway. Just set your restrictions. Or just say no! Unless of course, you secretly love all the attention......... | |

bull's eye!
and the men know this. they know that the women their own age have waaaaaaay too much on the ball to fall for their crap. so they have to go after whatever's left over. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/7/2009 6:17:26 PM | I can see where you would have an issue with older men hitting on you. Sometimes it can be annoying to see that a 40 something year old that should technically be winding down in life wanting to start over with someone that is half or a quarter of his age. But there are some truley wonderful men that have invested in bad relationship. It turns out from not only my experience and others experience's that men that are older end up adoring you. Wanting to spend time with you, to get to know you as a friend before ending up in a relationship. Life is short just take a chance you might enjoy whats in the package......... | |

Calm down OP ..... or I will send you a message. THEN you can upgrade your rant to grandpa ..........
Too funny ron9!
I understand where you are coming from OP but you can't blame these men for taking some interest in you. You are afterall young and beautiful. All you have to do is block 30+ men from your profile and problem solved. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 12:37:18 AM | Heheeh, I'm 41 and I really like Linkin Park and Nickleback - and the Beatles and the Stones, and many other groups. I don't try to act like I'm not my age - I just have different interests. I can have an interesting conversation with many young people in their twenties and I do. I actually have more in common with them - because I have never been married or had kids and I like to travel and learn. However, I choose not to date that much younger because if I'm old to be their Mother, it just feels weird. We are not on the same page; however, we could be great friends. The procreate instinct is there; however, there are plenty of men and women who don't want kids and if you both want the same things in life - it's good. It sure doesn't mean you don't have chemistry! Many men have contacted me who are in their 40s and have their age choice set to: 30-42. I'm okay with that but if their age range says: 18-36 and they're 45 - I wouldn't be interested anyways. It doesn't matter that I can't email them, because I choose not to anyways. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 2:52:07 AM | I get emails from men your age and younger. It never ceases to amaze me. Even if I am not looking for a conventional relationship I would think people would be smart enough to surmise that I would like to be able to interact with my partner beyond the physical and that having some common ground socially, emotionally and economically would be important to me as well.
If you want my take on it from watching this sort of thing go on within my circle of colleagues and friends, people date far outside their age range for a variety of reasons, none of which have anything to do with wanting an equitable, stable, emotionally sustaining relationship. It is hard enough to make things work when you are operating on an equal playing field with someone that shares your values and goals in life. Add in a twenty year age gap and your chances for success are two, slim and none.
Regardless of why people do it, it is not a good idea in my opinion. We go through stages in our lives and each one serves a purpose. By clinging to a prior stage in life and refusing to admit we are growing older we make fools of ourselves with our behaviour and by reaching beyond our age into another phase alltogether we can miss out on all the good that is available to us in the present stage we are in. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 10:58:34 AM | | There are young girls who choose older men. I would say what is wrong with the young girls? A 17 year old girl with a 47 year old man????? A well-educated girl, 22 goes with men in their 60s????? To some it is very impowering and flattering to have an affair with an older man. Men know that and they try with many young girls hoping to get lucky. | |

With all due respect, this is like saying, "Sorry, coach is all full. You'll have to settle for first class." | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 5:19:33 PM | Misssynne, ahhh poor baby, life must be really rough for you, there there little lady, dont cry, you must have it really really rough, boooohooooooo, and I thought Cancer patients fighting for their lives had it rough? it must suck to be you OP.
What is with all the drama Missy, just set your restrictions , anyone 25 and older is barred from emailing you, isnt it quite simple? its like ordering a ham and cheese sandwich and asking them to hold the cheese, just ask for a ham friggen sandwich , sweet jezusssssssssss
As if you're the only young girl to be hit on by older guys? | |

So young thing. Older men like you because you are young, naive and much more easily impressed.
Nope, old thing, older men like younger women because they have nice tight, unwrinkled skin, small asses, and perky boobs, not to mention that they aren't bitter, nasty creatures spewing venom all over the place...
.... ahhhh.... signing off... thinking of a nice 2o something ass and boobs barely contained in a nice skimpy bikini....
... oh, SHIT, I'm 50 something and I STILL love to look at young female bodies... and, wrong as it may be, I LOVE flirting with young women too. They are really fun to flirt with..
... I'm just so messed up....

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 5:43:32 PM | everyone is different; just because you aren't into it does it mean the whole world must think like you do? seriously I dont get what you are saying; everyone is different;
You are 24 and I guess you think the way you are is the right way, but it's not about you; everyone has their own choices to make;
make yours and stop judging others for making theirs. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 5:55:39 PM |
Nope, old thing, older men like younger women because they have nice tight, unwrinkled skin, small asses, and perky boobs yes, but capitano, it would probably take more than a $20 dollar bottle of plonk to get their attention and a bit more than a miniscule penis.

Not necessarily...
... most 20+ year olds don't know the difference between a $5 bottle of plonk and a $10 of plonk as long as the label is cool.... and there's NO WAY I'm gonna spend $20 on a bottle of wine for a 20 something year old, unless I've already had sex with her....
... and, just a couple of things to remember (I realize that you're getting to the age where Old-Timers starts kickin' in... )...
... $20 is pretty well the max I'm gonna spend on ANY first date, though I'd go to $30 if you have a nice ass. AND, if I'm gonna spend $20 on booze, I'm gonna buy something with some kick so the likelihood of seeing you naked is that much more likely to happen...
... AND, furthermore, I've found that the more booze my date consumes, the larger my penis gets, so it's all good....she's happy, I'm happy...

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 3/10/2009 7:59:53 PM | A wonderful (and stunningly beautiful) woman messaged me, and informed me that expertise such as mine is missing from this thread.
So, the problem seems to be people arguing about age differences.
Personally, I don't see why age should be a problem. People either connect, or they don't. It's about personality. Age is just a number. It doesn't decide who you are, or who you can click with.
Yes, having an age gap SOMETIMES makes it a little harder to connect on some social references. Music, fashion, dance, etc... changes. And dating someone 20 years older than you, might leave a big of a gap there.
But then, isn't the point of a relationship, to really get to know each other? Enrich each others lives. Learn the ins and outs of what makes you both tick. You can teach each other the things you might not have much knowledge of. Nobody is going to be an exact match. There will always be differences. And learning from them is part of being with someone.
I've dated people that I've had quite a large age gap with. And it's never hurt the relationship. Young or old, if their personality attracts me, that's what matters. Yeah, we may not have connected on everything. Different tastes in some things, or life experiences. But we just used learning about those differences as a way to become even closer. | |
