Is 61 the cut-off age for having any luck on POF?Page 5 of 11    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
Is this a new game for the near/over 60 crowd?? The barcode hunt??? I'm sure men have them toooooooo.....now I'm wondering at which number of dates do I introduce this idea........... Oh myeeeee, it's too early for this, I needs me some more coffee.
-- on topic, though, over 60 men appear plentiful enough on POF....weathered, wise, sweet when it counts and lots of fun. I don't feel cut off at (oh my!) 59 in a few days...just open to the ongoing possibilities of this life, yep.

The reality here is that offline you are never without potential dates, from the time you hit the age of 18 to the age of 80..

There is always a man coming after you!!! Although in the latter years it might well be in a wheel chair..

Hmmm,just thinking of a good place for that bar code tattoo!
Would a "Best if used by this date" be needed too?

I find it VERY annoying when contacted by young men in their 20's and 30's who assume that because you are "older" you are a so-called "cougar" or "desperate." Especially when they continue to contact you when you politely decline.....If I had wanted a son I would have adopted one a long time ago!

Let's just say that it involves you being completely naked and me holding a flashlight........


Now why doesn't that surprise me?

I think it sounds like fun...this means I'll need to bring my reading glasses to bed...lol

Love your positive attitude. One needs to maintain that if your intention is to find your next friend/lover ...no, not fwb

Thanks 49,
But lived over 30 years in the U.S. so my French is not that great either..However speak enough to somehow get by when I need to..

The nursing home promises to be fun if you are correct..

Please don't tell me I'm hopeless!

Unless, of course, you happen to be unusually flexible, in which case you can hold the flashlight and read it yourself.....


Rearen . . . err . . . guard, you ARE selfless!

Some people are hopeless at 21--others still have in goin' on when they are 75.

on the other hand.. I see you have filters on your account so that even if one were to try to contact you.. you would not be available... so why be here if you are not taking mail?

Are you referring to me?

Well, I am 61 and I must say I do feel cut off from time to time. Face it, young is in, old is out so deal with it. If you want to circulate in the younger crowd and you're not young, might be a problem. Act your age, flying into the mosh pit is probably out, flying to Ireland for a golf tour sounds better.

My mother is 83 and her boyfriend is 89. It seems a bit creepy that he doesn't date women within the '5 year rule'. They're always flying down to Cuba for vacation and I just hope they have separate rooms. Maybe I'll have 'the talk' with him.

I went out on a date with a 61 year old. The man was full of himself. His first remark was "don't I look a lot younger than my age".......he didn't.

I don't think there is a cut-off age, more like a cut-off brain.

Just to get an idea of the older men in my current area, I did a search for men, ages 66-99, 6 ft tall and over, who live within a 100 miles of me. There were 10 pages of some pretty fine looking men. Now, I'm engaged to the love of my life but, if I weren't, this area (metro DC) would be like living in a smorgasbord of attractive, active, older men. I'm sure there must be plenty of other older, attractive men throughout the POF membership. Such a shame that the great women and the great men don't seem to be meeting up.

I guess I must have been lucky. I've met wonderful men on this site who are seriously looking for long term relationships. They weren't looking for one night stands and they weren't users. They were terrific guys, many of whom went on to find the right women for them, just as I went on to find the right man for me. In many cases, we've remained friends and enjoy seeing each other in loving, happy, successful relationships.

I think after a certain age being on a dating site such as this is rather foolish. It is primarily for hook ups. For women I think that maybe 5o is a cut off point and for men about the same. I wouldnt bother with a man over 55 no matter how old I get so you are not the only one who wants younger. Most men do but whether you can get them is another thing.

Really?? 65??? No thanks. As for men having luck on POF, some at 25 have none and
some at 55 have some. No " hard" and fast rules.

Heck no. I'm 61 and love dating. I DO want a sexual relationship, but not marriage. My sex drive is as strong as it was when I was much younger.

I am now 63 and I did notice that as soon as my birthday hit, Oct 3, 2009, I stopped getting any emails, nor did I receive any responses back from my emails...Now I know why, I was cut off and no one told me..Until this thread that is...

Unfortunately the cut off age seems to be younger than that! Us boomers are a pretty hip bunch and not ready to be put out to pasture just yet!
