You don't answer...just delete it. No one on here is obliged to answer EVERY e-mail that comes in their inbox. If they write back to ask you why you deleted it, just simply say the truth : You are too old for me. Or even better, set the mail settings to receive e-mails from people in your own age group.

If they take the time to write you, respond with a courtious answer. besides you never know who you will meet or become friends with. I am 42 and a woman that was 53 emailed me. I read what she had to say and wrote back. When I met her she literally knocked me out of my socks, she was a very classy outstanding lady that looked 33. She did not look or act her age at all. I took her to OKC for dinner and SHE paid for a HOTEL not Motel and about killed me. I saw the sun break in her eyes when she was on top making love to me. I have had a lot of girls, woman, sluts and whatever. But I have never been ****ed, made love to, played with or performed on like this woman did.I was and still am in total all of this woman. And every once in a while, about 3 times a year I get the call to to play with this woman.I work out and make sure that each time I meet her I am in better shape than I was before because I know it is going to be a long weekend. Last spring she took me to a exclusive mens clothing store and she bought 2 new Namebrand suits plus the works, shoes and all and told me that it was to me from her for being me. Can't beat that. I pay for the HOTEL now, and it is worth every DAMN Penny of it. Each time I am with her it is as if she is getting younger and I am getting older. This woman is TRULY AWSOME!!!! So answering a little email may be worth your time. Oh you will never find a lady like this one I guarentee it. But if you could get anything close to her, it would be worth an email.

I have right in my profile "If you are old enough to be my father, please for the love of God don't respond." Occasionally I will get responses, well I guess I am old enough to be your father if I started at 16 or 17, is that a problem?

That's why we have the age limits rescritions. Use them. I choose not to because there are a few ppl I talk with who would exceed my dating prefences with their age.

At my age (56), if I receive e-mail from much older men, they usually say that they're looking for younger women. Me? I write back, and I express my thanks. Then, I don't hear from them again. Maybe they passed away, who knows? Or...I was too old for them!

Even though I am not into older men, I still write back. After all, they might act less mature than their age

Then I'd make sure my profile showed my preferred age range.

If women much older than myself e-mail me, my first thought is:

....How on earth are these women still alive...????? They must be immortal...!!!!

hahaha Latintango...very funny!

But really if you have predetermined age limits you should put those on your mail blocker-limitations (or whatever you call it). That way no one too old, or too young will ever be able to write to you. Then you don't have to say jack-squat to any of them. Next problem?

Set up age ranges on you profile. If not, you should give everyone and equal chance. I recently have gone out with women who were "too young" for me. We had a great time. That is all we had and all I wanted.
For the record, one gave me a kiss at the door and I was suprised to get that. We have gone out twice since then. Hey, we have fun!

Prevent the whole thing, just put restrictions on the age, sex , what ever you want on your profile. It works just fine.

ask someone really old that act's really young, after a certain age we try to find people on our maturity level. That's why young males gravitate toward older females and young females are drawn toward loud, brash, arrogant males. Nither, is able to tell the difference between what they need and what they want.

I reply.

You would have to be pretty rude/arrogant, incomplete (ie. in your file), or unnatural for me not to write back. I can smell an 'attitude' like a .... you know.

This one lady (Sag' all I remember) emails me saying, "I saw your profile ... can you believe I'm turning 47 tomorrow?". I looked at her pick and sighed ... I wrote back politely and stated "Yes, I believe it". I have seen 52 year old women who looked better than her in my opinion.

The reply from her was, "No, NO, NOOO!! You're supposed to say ...".
Suffice it to say I don't care and I explained "why would I lie to a total stranger to make them feel good" ? So my first POF admirer wasn't what I hoped.

latintango! I loved your response!

When I was 18, I joined a "Lonely Hearts Club" through snail mail. The creator of the club wrote me and asked if I'd be interested in corresponding with him. I wrote him back and politely responded, "Thank you, but you're 38-years-old...the same age as my parents." He write back and thanked me anyway.

Please be gentle when one of us fossils e-mail you. We are lonely, you know.

I'm older than you and I can tell you it makes me sick when guys my age write me with lame stories of how they would like to pleasure me . I'm old enough to know a fantasy when I hear one.

Depends on how much older the person is. I'm 25 (next month) and in the past, I always felt I clicked better with men in their 30s than with guys my age. See, I'm done with the soul-searching, I've found myself, and as I've learned with my ex (who was exactly my age), I'm not baby-sitter material. That's not to say there aren't mature guys in their mid-twenties out there. I might consider someone in his early 40s, but we'd have to have a significant amount in common. English professor? Any day, please.

However, I'm cautious. I don't want a family yet. I want to travel a lot after I get my first permanent appointment. Someone much older might have already done that and would possibly want more permanence than I can offer right now. I don't know where my job will take me after I'm done with grad school. If he's climbed the ladder and owns his house, he's not likely to want to move and I wouldn't be selfish enough to ask. On the other hand, maybe he's done with marriage and such and prefers to travel or has a flexible job.

Older than 45, I'd probably say no, even if his reasons were honest. Before I get chewed, a lot of messages I get from significantly older men make it clear that they cast me as a legal Lolita, so I'm not mindlessly generalizing. But even if the reasons were honest, I feel there would be too much of an experience gap. I'd like to grow with someone, not watch him grow helpless by the time I'm peaking. It's true that people age better these days, but still ... I don't want to be a widow.

I just send a note and say thank you but I am not interested, or I don't see a match.

I think it is a case by case kind of thing.

I think people can get away with maybe 15 years tops in age difference without too many problems. Because that kind of gap, two people can still be going to college together (one as a reentry student/grad student) , where I think you can meet someone a little older and it can still work out long term.

Anyone about twice your age, could work out, but its probably too much of a time gap.

I guess age is certainly a preference thing and also depending on what you're looking for, just chat, relationship, etc...but I usually just don't respond which I guess is rude. Some people posted some good alternatives instead. Funny, I just read another posting where someone's issue was all the restrictions that people place on their profile, age included, because it limits people just getting to know other people, not necessarily for dating. That's why these forums are great...there's 9 million differences of opinions out there!

Hasn't been a real big issue for me, I'm guessing that the gentlemen much older than myself are probably too busy reading their birthday cards from President and Mrs. Bush...
I don't think I've ever emailed a guy who was more than 10 years younger than myself...
