Oh, isn't that just lovely. Allegedly clueless AND an attitude. 2 attributes that any man would find irresistible.
Might I suggest editing and removing the word "Allegedly". | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 1:42:02 PM | I see nothing wrong with older people admiring younger folks or even wanting to date someone with an age difference, BUT if the person has an age range on their profile, don't bother contacting them - they are NOT going to change their mind just because you are hotter than most 50 year olds. Sheesh.
Here's the thing though. I've NEVER been interested in someone too young or too old. Reason? Nothing in common - NADA.
My father was 40, got himself a 24 year old. They had a blast, hitting the clubs; my dad's a real charmer. Then she got pregnant. My dad is a chef, not an easy profession. He would work all day and get home and want to stay home and spend time with his son. And her? She'd take off with his credit card to the clubs.
We had a discussion about this recently and this is what he told me: He was blown away that he could "get" a 24 year old. Really felt good to my ego. But after the fun wore off, we realized we had NOTHING in common. They divorced not long after their son was born.
But hey, people who have experienced these things know nothing.
I want to be able to discuss movies and music and other things from our generation. I want to be able to relate to my partner. I don't want to date someone more or less than a certain age. Men and women need to start respecting people. | |

|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 1:45:38 PM | ^^^^ It's not weird when you look deeper.
A lot can be said for respecting one's self in the first place as well and examining one's own motives for doing what they do. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 1:51:02 PM | I don't understand why older men would assume you AREN'T interested. Plenty of women enjoy the company of older men, and if you portray yourself as a mature sex kitten, you're asking for it. Works for me, though. You cam have all of the boys, and I'll take the men! | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 2:04:14 PM | hei or hej most likely
tis merely the wicked-lamppost-theroem (explanation on ma history for thee foolish enough to peek) No need to flatter oneself with ones ego here. Sometimes people are just nice and friendly irrespective of there current epoch
Personally I find many an older women guilty of ageism.
The defence rests for archaic slipper wearers everywhere most likely for muffins | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 2:27:07 PM | OP..it's obvious from your pics that you are an attractive girl...so you can't blame the 40 year olds for trying...just an observation though, what's the real difference between a 38 year old and 40 year old? (as per your profile restrictions)..right next to where you put "White men only" you could also put "Under 40 only!" ... | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 2:36:23 PM | If you do not wish to put an age restriction in your mail restrictions then you should feel flattered and thankful that someone has taken the time to email you. You just need to respond by saying thanks but no thanks. Just like some women - men tend to like younger women.
As someone said - when you are in your 40's you might get emails from men that are a lot older or you might be seeking out a toyboy for yourself. Life has a funny way of reversing sometimes so just be thankful for what you have in your life and don't worry about the little stuff. Wishing you luck in whatever it is you may seek :)

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 2:46:04 PM | | Well, I'm 60.....it's stated on my profile. I get messages from guys in their late 20's and in their 30's. I have a daughter 41, and a g-daughter 25. While I am flattered, I also know it just wouldn't work. I'm not Joan Collins after all! | |

Works for me, though. You cam have all of the boys, and I'll take the men! What's on your calendar for next Tuesday? Wear something teal, and see if you have one of those lace chokers. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 3:45:00 PM | Idk I checked out your profile and I didn't see anything beyond your picture that would attract men over 40....Also do you or have you ever been to the Kinky Copenhagen I mean I guess you have because it's in your city but have you actively been involved?I'm not trying to be a perv I'd just like a bit of feedback on said festival.......  | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:00:46 PM | While I have not contacted anyone with that big of an age difference, I'm running out of profiles to email within 100 miles and I find myself tinkering with that little age setting in my searches. Might explain some, but not all of these emails women get from men too young or too old than they'd prefer. Lots of young men out there for the cougar experience and probably just as many, if not more older men looking for a nice young piece.
Just got to keep adding those little rules to our profiles and hope they read it. At least there is a restriction setting available for age. I'm sure we could think up on heck of a nice list of other restrictions if given the opportunity. As for Joan Collins, you've got to remember that some of her parts are younger than others. | |

We're guys. All we know is that when see a woman, we're supposed to grunt and then tackle her.
OH WELL SAID! Cindy O | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:09:24 PM | | tell them you already have a father and don't need another one, lol. i think it's an ego thing and they just want to see if they can land a 24 year old, of course most of them can't unless they are Donald Trump or have his money. pay them no mind, ignore them if it bothers you. i think i had interest from a 70 year old once, no kidding. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:11:51 PM | | Thats why there's an age filter on here. If your not into the older dudes, use it | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:12:35 PM |
I am 24.
I get emails from men over 40!!! Just be patient. In a few years they'll be looking over you to get a glimpse at the 24 year old behind you... | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:20:17 PM | LMAO...OP you cannot believe how many women profiles I see where they are 51 looking for male 28-48......grrrr down cougars
It must be kinda common....Use the "code" read-delete-move on.
Just one more opine from, Irish | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:22:33 PM | OP I'm in my mid forties and I get emails from 25 year olds.....................LOL
Not exactly what I wish for either but the men in my age group seem to be looking at the younger and sexier women  | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:25:56 PM | There's nothing wrong with men or women who want to date younger or older. If it is your preference not to go that way, great!! Set your parameters and it CAN'T happen. You cannot change your age on here, create another profile possibly, but not change your age.
Me thinks this woman doth protest to much, possibly attention seeking.
Everyone PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL!!!!! | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:35:19 PM | When I'm out and about and I notice some young thing trying to catch my eye I ignore them.
When I have my profile up I restrict private messages to women 38 to 45. When I'm on the forum I ignore the blather of young people unless they say something stupid about my age group.
I'm guessing there are other guys like me on POF as well so stop trying to label all us older guys as pervs. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:46:40 PM | I like younger men too, so I just point out that we have that thing in common. We like em younger.
I am sure it takes a minute for them to grasp it, but it almost never fails to get the message across. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/13/2009 5:49:53 PM | | Disregard people who don't follow your "looking for 19-38". Give them a good Read Deleted. Trust me it hurts one's self esteem, I should know. | |
