not at all, since I know that it is not a relationship they want and the fact that they have complimented every other woman on the site. Lol

I'm 59 and when I get emails from younger men, yes, I take it as a compliment

For me, not so much. I'll admit that I'm pretty entrenched as being heterosexual. Nothing wrong with young gay guys, I guess, but frankly, I just don't lean that way.

when the msg., is to do with a mutual acquaintance...or maybe a comment on a forum topic?...
yeh, sure it's ok...

but when they think you'd either be dumb or desperate enough to fall for their chatup?...

an emphatic no...that's definitely not a complement...
it's a good laugh!

There's a second side to this that I've run into. Younger women who, basically, are after money. So young men probably want sex and young women want money.

Personally my mind says "this does not compute Will Robinson" at the idea of seeing someone who is my daughters age. I can't understand men who do but that's their choice. Give me a woman my age anytime.

I don't find this complimentary at all. I find that the delete button works just fine without even answering.

For the most part I think you are right on!!. Young men want sex and young women want money..They ought to get off their rears and worry about making it themselves.. but some always looking for a free ride.

I did at first but no problem now. One of my friends contacted me and I refused him but he never gave up and contacted me again, this time I went out with him. We have remained friends for almost ten months and he was exactly what I needed at that time in my life. Right now we are both going back to college and busy with our lives but continue to keep in touch.

I also have another friend and younger we have known each other for a year and a half but he only wants to be friends which is fine with me. We talk almost daily and occasionally do something together. I might not date either of them but I cherish their friendship. Maybe one day?

I was flattered by the young men who were attracted to my spirit or personality.

More often than not I chose to just be friends with the guys with less life experience or who chose to remain tied to their mothers apron strings.

There a few who were more mature than guys my age.

I would consider an LTR with a younger man if he was 'The One'

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble. But, they're not attracted to your spirit and personality. They just want to get laid.
Now, older guys, they might be attracted to your spirit and personality..................Naw. on seceond thought....they just want to get laid too.
Face it ladies.............ladies want a relationship in order to get laid. And men want to get laid, in order to have a relationship.
Younger..........older...............men in both age groups have the same mind-set....... SEX.......... Is it a compliment? You dang tootin' it is. But, I'd prefer to be complimented by a man in my age group.

Nah....bubble not burst.

I just know what I'm looking for, and what I need.

Age shouldn't matter if the man is the right 'One'

I was contacted by a man in his early 30s recently on POF. My profile states the ages of men that interest me, so again I said "Thanks but no thanks, reading profiles might enable you to send email to women who are interested in someone your age"......

Absolutely, I advertise the age I'm looking for as 42-59, I'm 61. I find it a great compliment to be contacted by younger men. I tried meeting men my age or a little older and frankly thought I needed to check for a pulse. They couldn't keep up with me and why even bother going out, unless your just looking for a dinner. I do draw the line when they approach the age of my children. Then I do know they are just looking for a easy lay. I am selective though, they must have a brain and know how to use it.

Guys that contact me, 30 and younger are only wishing to experience an older woman. Its not unlike a knotch on his a belt of an asian, black, hispanic lady, whatever etc. I dont consider it flattery.

Hey OP! You should try trolling in the over 25 category. You younguns think you're so smooth. Dang, I wish I had the internet in my 20's! I wouldn't have had to cruise the hallways at the retirement manors!

Just who wouldn't want a savvy, experienced, uninhibited, playful and joyful mature woman when a young man is in his prime yet needing some proper education for the betterment of females everywhere? Sounds like good sense to me .

Laughing my head off

and the op said: " hard to judge if a woman is open to the idea of being flatered and woowed by a younger man".

Like I always say, pop home and talk to your mummy and ask her how she feels about it?

You are asking so I am telling: I find it embarrissing when young men contact me desperate and needy and telling me stories of the ex'sbeing older than me. YAWN YAWN which leaves me thinking he has a chart and he is ticking off the age of women, 90, 85, 84, 83, 82, 81 each time he gets one! till he is down to a woman his age who he marries has children and lives happily ever after.

Some who are needy for sex with someone older than their mother, I suggest getting a job in an old folks home, well if they are being stupid - so can I

Well you did ask

Mere contact is not something that I consider particularly 'complimentary' given that this is a dating site. In my experience, I'm aware that not everyone out there is actually reading my profile before contacting me. That said, I have never set age limits around who can contact me, as I don't hold a lot of stock in how old someone is relative to me as a criteria of whether or not we have a shot at being together; it's more about matching on a range of compatibilities and attraction. Someone can 'feel' too old for me in how they look at the world...and while they might actually be younger than me---it's mindset and attitude and how that meshes with my own, that's going to trump any sort of age considerations every time.
