| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 5:26:51 AM |
Here we go again. Men are attracted to women who appear to be sexually mature enough to get pregnant, and healthy. That's it. The women who most easily display those physical characteristics are in their very late teens to mid twenties. We didn't consciously choose to be attracted to you, evolution made that decision. Whether or not we have children does not change anything. But here's the thing. Women are attracted to younger men but we don't function in society by following our biological urges alone do we? And having children should change things, not in terms of who you are attracted to but when you act on those attractions.
Yannow, if a guy or a woman wants to date someone that is 20 years their junior, I could give a fig and in some instances, there is a real match between maturity, intellect, etc. Demi Moore rings a bell, junior was studying at MIT I think when he was "discovered" and it couldn't have been easy stepping into that family and yet he seems to have done it well, friend to the girls, no angst between the testerone laden people, and believe me, if there was b.s. going on, the tabloids would have ferreted it out by now.
Anywho, my point is that for me, children changed this issue a great deal. If I had no kids, it might turn heads if I dated someone that was 24 but I probably wouldn't give a shit if I liked the guy. Now, I do have a dilemma because of the kids. My stepson whom I raised for 10 years and in whose life I have now been for 18, just turned 30. It is, well ookie to consider dating someone younger than he is. My daughter turns 17 next month, if my bottom age range had not already been determined by her brother, she informed both myself and her father that neither of us could date someone 10 years her senior or younger. This seems reasonable to me. That makes my other bottom line currenly 17, or 27 years younger than me, oy.
Childless people, who cares, with the practical exception of whether the younger person wants to spend the last decade or so of his/her life alone because the other person has already kicked the bucket. I think for people that have children it should make a difference and give me a break, if the person is off-limits from day one, you don't allow yourself to fall in love with them, not rocket science. Yeah, you could pass up the love of your life so because I don't think there is only one of those, find someone that might still be alive when you are 70. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 5:31:02 AM | | I date guys much younger than me because, well, I am not the typical woman. I love fanatasy fiction and MMORPGs. A perfect evening for me is playing the online RPG I made. I could play video games all day, so yeah, I get along with younger guys. My currect SO is 10 years older than my daughter, who is 17. I have no issues with that. | |

I used to assume that at your age people would of learned not to make assumptions however you alone is a proof that I was wrong.
And for all I know it is impossible to "shake my booty" as you put it on Internet.
For all I know I am far more mature than many of the "mature" ladies in this thread- they have all made fools of themselves and I pity them because I feel that most of the responses I have gotten here are from angry people and the replies is what you could expect from immature teenagers.
I hope maturation doesn't go backwards so I will end up being like one of you. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 5:45:28 AM | OP, I have to say while I am not a fan of bra shots, your photos are probably some the most tastefully done that I have seen. There is a certain artful sophistication to them, and perhaps that is what is appealing to older suiters.
While I have not read this entire thread, because there seems to be some bashing going on, maybe your solution would be to put up some different photos of yourself. Also you might want to lower your age limit to lower than 38. And if for some reason men over 40 continue to message you, you do have the option to use the delete and block buttons. | |

| Over at Grampy's house Posted: 2/14/2009 7:52:05 AM | | well...for starters, downblouse pics are going to attract a certain type of guy...and it's not the kind you take home to mom. Seems like you're putting out a certain bait that attracts a wide assortment of fish and not liking what you're catching. You need to change your bait and stop blaming men for seeing young skin and acting like men, regardless of their age. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 8:33:58 AM | I appreciate that you now try to sound less angry.
And what is funny is how you attack my pictures. How a few pictures can get so many people angry!
Also, I have a mailfilter on Mr Selfnominated Oracle "god of rock"..... So please check your background-information before stating something. Thank you. Once again an adult person making assumptions based on nothing. But it really shows your level of intelligence (or should I say lack of intelligence....). And the last line goes for the whole bunch of you people.
I am grateful that I have been brought up more properly by my parents than to be a sad human being and attacking unknown people on Internet and accusing people of things out of the blue and seeing dillusional things from photos.
My photos show much less than most ladies' profiles on here so I don't understand your accusations but maybe ugly women are allowed to show whatever whilst I can't even be dressed normally without getting accused of being "attentionseeker", "boobiepicshots" etc etc. Maybe I should wear a burka to make you satisfied but then maybe you will accuse the sight of my eyes of trying to lead men on...........?
Grow up people and please try to sort out your anger. It is not nice! | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:07:53 AM | Why are you all just feeding this troll-op's ego?
OP, get with it. You've got provocative photos posted publically and you wonder why you draw attraction to yourself? If you're too stupid to understand you reap what you sow, well now you just learned something today. Why not take some initiative here? Put some restrictions on who can contact you. Why not contact guys who interest you if you aren't getting the contact results you seek by just sitting on your hands doing nothing? | |

God bless viagra!
Who needs viagra when Daddy's got a 24 year old? Younger women...making erection miracles since the beginning of time! | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:14:45 AM | I don't think any of your shots are trashy.
I wish more girls your age thought like you because most of the time young girls are being conned by these old guys.
I have a daughter close to your age and I'd hate it if some guy my age was dating her. What does he have to offer her. I think he'd seriously cramp her style. Not to mention there are almost ZERO 40someting attractive guys without a few kids and at least one ex in tow. Most are seriously damaged financially and emotionally as well. I know a lot of 40something men.
They are going to give you the illusion of having money and virility but pretty soon you will realize they are tired and close to broke living on credit cards, paying for their kids and wondering how they will be able to keep you without giving you a child of your own. Then if they do give you a kid they will be wondering how long before you run off with some young stud muffin who doesn't need viagra and has all the opportunity in the world ahead of him. Then after you do leave he will come on here complaining that the women his age (45+) don't want to date a guy with toddlers (sigh).
Trouble is, these men see women as things, possessions, not people.
I see these guys in bars, 40+ chatting up scantily dressed 19 yr old waitresses. It gives me the creeps and like you I see it as close to pedophilia too. These girls have no idea what they are getting into and neither do the guys. | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:18:25 AM | | They are just looking for sex! It would make them have a big ego and feel young again to be with someone their kids age. | |

you really think a 24 -year old woman is a 'child' unable to make these decisions on her own?
that's only 6 years after she could decide on her own to enlist in the military and risk her life in some foreign hellhole..
I mean do you have to coddle someone their whole life? I'm sure the OP can choose whether to accept or reject any overtures, as she has done..
do you know what 'pedophile' means? it doesn't mean someone attracted to a 24- year old..
it means those with the sickness towards a child, not an adult..keep a little perspective..you cheapen the label 'pedophile' by applying it to anyone interested in someone 5+ years younger than themselves, or whatever cutoff you have decided is 'acceptable' to you. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:29:42 AM | I suggest you all confront yourself and try to find the seed for all that anger. Can't be easy to be so angry.
Seems that I recall something about glass houses and throwing stones... The title of the post suggests that there is something "wrong" with men. Look, sweetie, it's a dating website. If men you aren't interested in contact you, simply delete their emails. Set your filters. Some of this post just makes me go...hmmm... Sounds like a little drama here with Mom's boyfriend,at some point? (to the tune of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee") Just a bowl of butter beans Pass the bicuits,if you please. I don't want no collard greens Just a bowl of butter beans.

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:35:23 AM | Those who do not understand the sex drive - mating drive of men and women are guilty of ignoring the genetic biology of humans - or are perhaps ignorant of it.
Our genes drive the production of hormones and brain chemicals - it is pre-programmed - and cannot be altered except by induction of other chemicals (environmental contaminates).
Our sex drive - mating drive programming can be subdued a bit by cultural influences - but it is not really changed from 10 to 20 thousand years ago - which was not really changed from the 250 thousand years of recent human lineage - nor from the millions of years before that.
A few hundred years of modern cultural influences - a few decades of imposing 'politically correct' behavior mandates - has not changed and will not change the basic sex drive of men - and that sex drive is to reproduce - create offspring - and men are programmed to find a mate who can and will reproduce. It matters none at all - that this behavior is often inappropriate for the time, age and circumstance we find ourselves in this 'modern world'...
Any woman who does not want to get messages from men over age 39 on POF can set her profile that way - and she will not get messages from them - so I don't believe the problem is a real problem - it is easily corrected.

Get rid of all your pics and just use your 6th photo there. I'm sure that will take care of it for you.
Thank you
I am grateful that I have been brought up more properly by my parents than to be a sad human being and attacking unknown people on Internet and accusing people of things out of the blue and seeing dillusional things from photos.
Well that's all fine and good misssynne, but isn't your thread an attack on 'unknown people on the internet' who just happen to be over 40? And I dare say it isn't just because of their age...I seriously doubt you would turn down Johnny Depp if he shot you an email amirite?
My photos show much less than most ladies' profiles on here so I don't understand your accusations but maybe ugly women are allowed to show whatever whilst I can't even be dressed normally without getting accused of being "attentionseeker", "boobiepicshots" etc etc. Maybe I should wear a burka to make you satisfied but then maybe you will accuse the sight of my eyes of trying to lead men on...........?

Good point. There are a LOT of angry, bitter people here on this site. Just a casual glance through forum posts reveal how many damaged, lonely folks there are out there looking for love with the same attitudes that led them to being lonely in the first place. Rather than try and look at themselves objectively and improve on negative qualities they find it easier to bash someone they are jealous of.
That said, while you aren't hard on the eyes, it would seem to me that you are pretty much just an average girl trying to make the most of what she has. There's nothing at all wrong with that, but I think many of the posters here are left with the impression that you might be a tad stuck on yourself?
There really is a fine line between healthy self-esteem and narcissism... But I'm not fit to judge you or anyone else really. Afterall, I think the world would operate much more smoothly under my absolute rule (or my clones should immoratality elude me).

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 9:53:29 AM | | I hear the same thing, age is only a number. Someone who is 20-30 yrs older is not going to have the same things in common. I get 63 yr olds looking. If my mother was here they'd be great for her. She looks just like me, just 24 yrs older. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 10:47:46 AM | Hellooo,
why do you get emails from older guys, hmmm because all older men like younger females, its like younger guys like the older female because of their experience. Older men like a younger femlae on their arm, to show off like a trophy and because young females have the looks, and if they have money younger females take them for what they have, older men to a younger female is ofetn called a sugar daddy.
My first x husband is now in his 60's and collecting his pension, i was nearly 18 when i met him and he was about a year older then my dad. I've had 2 beautifull children off him but because of the age difference it didnt work out. i wanted to go out and he was quite happy sitting watching tv.
Men dont get any better as they get older they get worse, and like to be looked after as they get older.
Change your profile and the pictures and you wont get the pervy old men.
hope this helps.

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 11:03:25 AM | This thread is hilarious, D.O.Ms using every excuse in the book, like nature etc to excuse perving after young women.We have brains, we know whats appropriate.plus women up to their fifties can be fertile, why not message them.Many men in their forties/fifties on this site have age restrictions of 30 or 35.Its ludicrous, obviously what they see in the mirror and what others see are two different things.
Yes young women will date you, say they love you and spend your cash, but when the cash runs out, so do the girls.Nothing worse than a middle aged man trying to be young/appear virile again by having a youngster on his arm.Its pitiful.What would you have in common, nothing.You cant have sex 24/7, what happens the rest of the time, when she wants to go clubbing or listen to hip-hop.Older men are interesting and have life knowledge, so have older women.This seems way more attractive to me than shallow stuff, like looks etc.I would go as old as 35/36 no older.I.d be friends with older men but not date them.When I am middle aged, I would seek middle aged men.Seems more natural.
Op your pics are fine, cheeky and sexy.You are a beautiful girl, very appealing, the old fellas are chancing their arm.Just laugh and delete, dont take it too seriously.If it gives them a thrill in their old age, well think of it as a good deed.An act of charity towards the old and infirm and bewildered. | |

| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 11:07:37 AM | Although I didnt read through the whole thing I have my opinion on the original post:
There is nothing wrong with these men unless you think you are not attractive to these men. Which I highly doubt.They are confident enough to approach a young woman . The problem lies in within you , personally as a younger man just reading this I would not even consider stopping on the side of the road to help you with a flat. I realize that you are just looking for a response as your profile says , which I think you like the attention , and you like to let everyone know your getting the attention (more attention), hey world look at me I can pose sexy, I attract what I project what is wrong with you people. What if men were saying whats wrong with this girl sheès young has nothing and probably doesnt even know what she wants or where she is headed in life, and she thinks I am going to want her for a serious relationship, get over it. So why dont you get a job as a performer, this way you can satisfy your need for attention without Bashing men who probably have more to offer you on their worst day than you have on your best day. srry just my opinion , theres a reaction for you | |
|
| What is wrong with men? Posted: 2/14/2009 11:11:01 AM | | Maybe this girl should write a rule book on whos alowed to date who of the human race. Maybe blondes with teeth that look like a horses should not be aloud to date because someone says so . Youève got a lot to learn as do we all (yeah that includes me lol) | |

Oh, you base your decisions on who to help on how they look and/or their perspective on life,rather than the fact that helping someone if it's in one's power to do so, IS THE FREAKIN' $#%!! RIGHT THING TO DO. My Gawd, I don't happen to be blessed with kids and grandkids, so would folks that do help me out here; Are the attitudes displayed by the OP and a couple of other young posters, the NORM these days? I certainly hope not! Cindy O | |
