I have finally had my fill of the Highbrows, Lowbrows, an Unibrows!
There are some things that are universally desired by men AND women. Things like intelligence, kindness, dependability, emotional stability, good health... also mutual attraction and love. Attraction to me isn't about the age of the man ....although I love the purdy youngin's  | |

Posted: 5/7/2006 11:10:40 PM | lux.. there was nothing i said to get huffy about.. the point was that a man would get flamed even worse for saying simular things
There are so many threads on the other side of this and in those threads, if a woman disagrees, she better have a very thick skin, because the insults come out in harsh, nasty ways. I've even had men create profiles for the sole purpose of getting through my email restrictions in order to tell me how old I look (and that is the nicest thing they say to me!!) Men have always had social acceptance in dating younger (and at times, much younger women.) I often wonder about the statement "age is just a number" because I get that thrown at me all the time. If that truly is the case, why is it so enraging when the "number" one prefers is younger than the men using that line???? It just doesn't make sense. | |

Posted: 5/7/2006 11:20:03 PM | I am attracted to men that I am attracted to.
I understand the OP's point and I find it a shame how people have let themselves go, look at teenagers even, I think when I was a teen I had too much pride not to look good and junk food has definitely taken a toll on many. What will they look like when they age?
As I am much older now, I am still vain enough to look as good as I can, fortunately my teen age daughters have perfect figures and I have taken care of myself enough that I can share clothes with them.
Like attracts like.
I would not be interested in anyone that did not attract me or I did not attract them. This is not being shallow, this is how it is.
Age is not the issue, but can become an issue when you are attracted to someone that is extremely hot and 15 years younger. Because the maturity level of the younger one is more than the older one, age does not present a factor. Being a woman though, the insecurities are there even when they are unfounded. | |

Posted: 5/7/2006 11:30:09 PM | Excuse me and pardon me for intervening I think I can save and salvage this thread...
the key think to remember is that we dont have a hot Texan sun beating down us on all the time, that doesnt mean we are willing to be beat..it can get hot in the Okanogan portion of BC and it is rattler country yes and I dont know if we have Marlin fishing in BC either..
the beginning portion of this thread probably speaks more fundamentally about the differneces between living in a republic like Texas and a province like BC than it does about
differnences between a man and a woman
Men have all this extra DNA crap thats just useless
If I was 50 I bet I would find all sorts of things to like about men and women on this
site at that age....but I dont have time for girls who are looking for someone to keep up with them and not much else, and men may give you short shrift themselves as a result i.e. like you even less than you like them
What you resist: persists!
While being in good physical shape is nice, its certainly not everything.... | |

I run a bank off machines (pretty much run in circles) settle down, relax, take a deep breath and get a sense of humor no body is picking on you or your dad. Nice looking dog you got there by the way. | |

I know a guy who is 93 and lays bricks four months a year and travels to FLORIDA THE rest of the year. | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 3:43:03 AM | most men my age are stuffy and inflexible. That turns me off even more so than when they are physically unfit. My daughter described it best when she said "men become embittered and beaten by life experiences, where as women become better at it and more adaptable"  | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 3:52:08 AM | OP You always seem to present yourself as though your gym shaped body is something that should or would attract men to you. I've noticed most of your replies are somehow critical of men no matter what the subject. Within a few hours of some young "man" posting a thread about not being attracted to females his age this one pops up---coincidence? Probably not!
If you yourself are not attracted to any particular demographic then that's fine. Just as you comment on what you find disagreeable of unattractive about others understand they are probably just as turned off by your atttitude or other things you present. Like so many modern day women you have developed the notion you deserve a certain "type" of man and that you won't "settle" for less. It's utterly fascinating that mindset results in you NEVER finding someone who suits you. "Relationships" of six months maximum is the result since sooner or later there is some fault discovered you just can't tolerate---after all YOU DESERVE better! Even in the small sampling of people that POF represents I've seen this over and over---it's so predictible it becomes laughable.
Without plastic surgery, constant work outs and fanatical adherence to some sort of restrictive diet your 50+ body will NEVER feel the same as a younger womans. Skin texture becomes less supple and soft, hair needs constant coloring and treatments to look youthful, facial lines cannot be hidden under a mound of cosmetics and lets not forget your own sexual organs ain't quite what they used to be! Nothing you can do will ever reverse the signs of aging---but yet you want to portray yourself as young, youthful and "deserving" of only the best. By the time your extensive makeover is complete your own mother wouldn't recognize you---yet you're "naturally beautiful!! Not many women "your age" look anything like the overly contrived photos they post here.
Thinking you're "all that" or have a lot to offer someone doesn't make it so---it's only a thought inside your mind and from your behavior here not many men share that with you. Before you begin telling me how many flattering contacts you receive, how many young hot guys are chasing you, how many dates you have remember this---you're still single and on a dating site! Regardless how many "friends" you have here or who comes to your defense about this doesn't know you----not the real you anyway. Anyone as desirable as you try to be wouldn't have time for this---they'd be swamped with admiring men constantly.
You're free to date, be attracted to and think what you want---no one ever disputes that! Thinking you'll affect change or make men "your age" feel bad because of this post isn't the case. Blastkist had a wonderful thought about this---and yet she gets softly bashed because somehow we're missing her point too? LOL You and those who share your general thought they're not attracted to their own age group are a small group--whether it's on POF or elsewhere. Certainly we all want and love the youthful bodies we see--I'm pleasantly stunned at the outward beauty our younger members exhibit without hesitation here. The ironic part of "our age" is we realize being happy with someone isn't about physical appeal only---it goes much, much deeper. Maybe that's lost on you? Either way, best of luck in your search for your idea man--however old he is or isn't!! | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 4:23:26 AM | Personally, I don't like to read threads that put down any age group in an unfair or all inclusive way. But I don't think OP was doing that.
Some men --- most certainly not all -- mostly older, but not necessarily -- fail to see themselves in a mirror; yet can, and do, pass judgment-- and usually very unkindly, on women of their own age and older.
Frankly, since I joined POF, I notice about every day this same topic started by an older man -- sometimes, same topic in about 3 different categories on the same day! 
And I agree with the other fine folks on this thread that it is ABOUT TIME the ladies have the chance to say how they really feel for a change.

Posted: 5/8/2006 5:55:13 AM | If the men here or elsewhere are acting boorish for posting BS threads like you mention that's they're problem. Women who think it's necessary or even desirable to post equal threads need to get a grip. If you don't like someone or even a group of people then we ALL should just leave them alone. Posting things bashing one another does absolutely nothing to fix that so why does b*tching about it seem like a good idea?
For all the posts and threads here that go unanswered why do we give life to these?? One disgruntled person had a bug up they're a*** and vent it here----then we all pile on with most of those replies veering from the original topic considerably.
Since a woman brought this up remember it's you who tend to delete rude messages from men here--or if they don't suit you "delete" is also your first choice! (How's THAT for over generalization??LOL) If it's so easy then why not just continue that when it comes to reading threads on the forums. We're all guilty of bashing, venting, ranting or just griping about how things suck at the moment. All it takes in one person to begin---OR stop--and soon we'd have a less contentious forum! We really have to ask do we really want that, though??? | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 6:02:04 AM | There's more to life than working out. I don't know about anyone else, but if I want a flat stomach and ripped abs, working has to be all I do. I'm talking 3 hours a day to maintain a masculine physique equal to that of our host poster 'who_the_fox'
I still have lots of muscle. I can still run 3 miles and do 50 leg raises, but keeping the spare tire away is next to impossible for me. Maybe I should think about lipo. | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 6:22:18 AM | Ok is all the bashing and direct personal attacks over?
Lets try this
Conrats to all those who work hard to maintain a good shape of both their outer body and inner body...As we age it gets tougher to do.
Kudos to those who are happy about how they are, whether in shape or not | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 6:22:35 AM | I'm 38 and it's hard finding women my age who I find attractive. When I do a search on here most of the women just look overweight or don't seem to have any sense of style. It just seems like when alot of women get to my age they could care less what they come off as.
From the thread entitled "I'm Not Attracted to Women My Age"
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.
From my original post.
Recognize anything guys??
I also stated in the first few posts that I created this thread because I had seen so many posts bashing older women in the last year and NOT ONE talking about how men age too.
Yes, I workout, yes I am fit. I am not doing it to attract ANY men of ANY age. I do it because I like the way it makes ME feel about MYSELF. You will also notice that my profile has PICTURES whereas the men who start these kinds of threads and the ones who flame me (and other older women) do not.
I find it really amusing how many men pitched an absolute fit about this thread when we women have been reading this kind of garbage forever.
i wonder how much mail op got from the under 35 crowd after this thread..
That is one of the most ridiculous things I have read in weeks.
The point I am trying to make is that men age too...Unfortunately, a lot of men do not feel that they should do anything to keep themselves looking attractive....but yet they expect to be dating 20 yos and spend their spare time whining about it and bashing older women.
Wake up guys, women are sick to death of your double standard
