Posted: 10/8/2006 9:07:34 PM | Hey "Fox",
I believe you're accurate in your observation, but as a very fit 51 year-old male, I have to say that you're an exception for the female gender...there are many, many women in their 50's who are not in very good shape. It would be REALLY nice to find a woman like yourself who takes of their physical shape!! | |

It would be REALLY nice to find a woman...

Posted: 10/9/2006 6:45:32 AM | Hey curvesallOver, I think age blocks are a great idea for this site! Why don't you suggest it to the POF powers that be? Even if they didn't want to use blocks on actual profiles, they could use them on searches.
Midwestrebel: Sorry, but this isn't a flame. lol Going younger isn't always about recapturing your youth. Well, if the spread is great enough it is, but within 10 years...I don't think you find distinct generation issues for the most part. It really is subjective. All I know is if you look ten years younger, why shouldn't you date someone who looks the same age that you do? Age really isn't a number, even though society tries to make it so. lol
EDITED: squirrly1: About the age blocks, they are currently self-defined, so, certain people who look young and vital get overlooked. If you had a 35 - 45 pre-defined age block, then people who normally would select up to age 40 in a self-defined age block, would get a taste of what some over 40's looked like. It would expand choices and I bet some over 40's would get more action. lol
25-35, 35 -45, 45 - 55, etc. Of course, 40 - 50 is a special age gap, because some people getting close to 50 still look like they are in their 30's. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 7:39:12 AM | For those of you too dang lazy to even read the posts on the SAME PAGE, I will repeat it once more
This thread is a PARODY of a thread by a man entitiled "I"m Not Attracted to Women My Age".
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts4126508.aspx
The people with the "crises" seem to be the MEN responding to this thread. If I had ever entertained the thought of looking for a mate online, the hatred spewed in this thread would have killed ANY interest. I am appalled by the viciousness and the inability to READ, not to mention the misogyny. A lot of you should be seeking a good THERAPIST not a date!!! It is simple to see exactly why you are single. Good grief! | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 7:48:30 AM | ok here simple solution, if the men/women are too old , then read 1/2 or 3/4's of their posts/profile, till your correct numerical category is reached!
I should get paid for this!

Posted: 10/9/2006 8:10:49 AM | | What do you expect fox, the post started in hatred even though it was a parody. So the results are not supriseing. I would not agree with a post like this if it were directed to men OR women. Not really talking about this one exactly, but the one you were makeing a parody about. If you were more direct about the subject matter people would not missunderstood. It would help if people would read past the first page though. I don't think the men who responded to this thread would be any diffrent then how a woman would respond to it if it were directed at them. People are not nessisarily lazy to read it.....do you know how long it takes to read 23 pages of diaolog......loong time. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 8:21:36 AM | Dude, do you know how many pages the original post ran?
3
That was a post directed at women. If you took the time to click the link and READ, you'd know exactly how women reacted to a thread directed at them!!
I didn't suspect that so few men would actually READ, let alone stop and THINK before they posted in this thread. It is not my fault that I assumed men would be thinking human beings!! Besides, why would I think that the parody would outlive the original by 19 pages?? It was very obvious that this was a parody when the thread was originated....and if people can't take the time to actually READ a thread, then they should refrain from posting to it. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 8:39:33 AM | I'm 50 and it's hard finding men my age who I find attractive. When I do a search on here most of the men just look overweight or don't seem to have any sense of style. It just seems like when alot of men get to my age they could care less what they come off as.
After a man hits 35 they seem to just give up on everything....gain weight, have hair growing odd places, develop jowls...just let themselves go completely. Now I am not saying there aren't decent looking men my age somewhere in the world, but for the most part any man over 35 is pretty well past it.
*thought it was time for the women to have a say...*
People are so lame.
Fox......
These may not have been your words and was posted as a parody, but when reading your other posts, you could well be the author. You come across as ANTI-MALE, among other things. Many of your posts reinforce this message.
This may not have started out as a HATE thread, but the results are the proof.
There are many 'angry' men and women. Some call it frustration, some call it a lack of intelligence, some are just bashing other, to make themselves feel better. Most often, people are using Forums as a means to vent their personal frustrations and anger.
In these past couple of posts, your comments do nothing to alleviate the anger.

Posted: 10/9/2006 8:50:22 AM | | Yes, but thats only one of hundreds of other posts that women respond too. Some of which are a lot longer then 3, well now, 4 pages long.You may find that there are quite a few men agree & woman disagree with it also. Not just on this subject eather. It does not always have to be men vs women like it always seems to be. I know the diffrence between right & wrong and I leave gender out of it. So if this had been a real post I, as a man, would disagree with it. If it were a man saying the same thing about woman I would disagree with it too. I would agree to skimming through 23 pages, but to read through its entirety would take me at least two hours. Since I've kept up with it the entire time, it was easy. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 9:21:29 AM | I kinda like the older ladies......40 and up.For one thing,when they're not interested in a guy they won't try to crush his male ego like alot of 20's and 30 year old women I have met.When a woman in her 40's and up is not interested in a guy,from my experience, she'll say something like...."AWWW.....you're sweet,but this isn't going to work out." Whereas the younger women will sometimes say things like...."Get lost, you jack*ss,I wouldn't come near you with a ten foot pole!"  | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 9:25:20 AM | It is so easy to be labelled as anti-male or anti-female when you voice an opinion that doesn't meet with the prevailing beliefs of society, as a whole. It is easy to cause offense on these forums, even when that is not your intent. Words are so often misinterpreted and intent overlayed on them. I think we should all cut the OP some slack.
I know I can't speak for the OP, but I certainly can understand some of the concerns she inadvertently raised. Yes, the thread started off as a parody.
I don't think it is anti-male to say that some men don't age well. The same is true of some women. And, I don't think it is anti-male to suggest that you think that women age better than men. Some men believe the opposite to be true and that doesn't make them anti-female. It's when you start infusing your beliefs with personal attacks or trying to make one sex inferior to the other that it becomes anti-female or anti-male.
In all sincerity, I'm not attracted to many of the age 50+ men who contact me. I'm sure many 45 year old men have the same reaction to many of the age 50+ women contacting them. I guess it takes time to adjust to your own age group sometimes, when the onset of aging related physical change becomes noticeable. A lot of change occurs between the ages of 40 and 50. I know fear of this change is probably why some men avoid me, even though I don't look my age. C'est la vie. I can't do anything about that.
It is important to say that many people do age well. Some do take good care of their bodies when it comes to fitness and skin care. (I try to do this. lol It's not as easy as it once was.) I have seen some very beautiful women and handsome men posting on this thread who are in their 40's and 50's. Some don't look their age and some do. And people are not static. Some allow themselves to go and then reclaim themselves. Kudos to them. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 10:10:23 AM | Hey Ooli Oop, thanks for not flaming me, I think. Might be fun to get flamed, I have a flame thrower that works pretty good, lol.
I can agree with you about the 10 year spread, that works for me. However I might fudge a little on the generation issues. I have dated here within the last few years a range of women from 22 to 53. What I enjoy most about women close to my age is the subtle differences. For example we can enjoy talking about things that were going on when we went to High School or College, the way dating was at that time as compared to the way it is now. The ladies that are close to my age seem to hold the same values and ways of looking at things. Yes they are subtle, but I notice them and it makes me more comfortable. Even when I stray as far as ten years I notice things in the conversation that seem displaced or difficult for each other to appreciate or comprehend. It makes no difference I suppose if your just out to have a good time. But if your looking for that special someone I think it helps to make the bond tighter. Just my opinion... | |

Hey curvesallOver, I think age blocks are a great idea for this site! Why don't you suggest it to the POF powers that be?
Suggested age blocks 18-25, 25-40, 40-60, 60-75, 75-95
Can we start a petition to have this changed?
The only other way around this age issue is to have everyone use a default age of 95-I think maybe we should do it as a rebellion until POF policy is changed muhaahahaha (evil laugh)  I actually did it a few weeks after I joined and ironically, I get more email now than I did before-things that make you go hmmm.
I find it interesting that I've been contacted by several men that have incorrectly stated their age by 10 yrs-usually 10 yrs younger than their actual age-hmmmm what does that say? | |
