Just put so many restrictions on your e mail that

it will be impossible for anybody to send you a message,

but you will still be able to contact all the cute guys you want.

Whats up unorthadoxchick??? I say this thread today and, thought it was new since you still have not changed your filter restrictions on the ages that you want to accept coming into your mail box.
Could it be that you have been on here long enough that you have found out that people are people no matter what age and, its kinda nice to get some attention from someone.If they were stalking that would be one thing but heh all you have to do is hit the delite button.

Here we go again about the age thing.......grrrrrr.....

If you do not want a certain age around you then put up your barriers to that and move on.

I prefer to know those that want to know me no matter the age and background. Many of us are on here to see what is out there, know new people without doing the bar scene and just socialize.

I can do this with those my age, those younger and older, it is just a large meeting pool with many types, styles, ages, and looks......

Just my opinion......

I don't 'talk' to women on sites such as this that I am not at least REAL close to their desired age range (maybe off by two years if I think that we have alot of mutual interests).

However, in real life - younger women talk to me much more easily. Do not know why that is?

Maybe they (and I) both know - there is nothing more than talking and what is the harm. They certainly seem more open and receptive to talking.

Well young lady seems you have started, quiet a bit of stir here..lol...
so i will make mine short and sweet.. well maybe short..
now this age thing, goodness it has been around longer than all the people who posted here combined, plus a few more hundred years and its not going away today or ever for that matter. now myself i was raised by grand parents they were married for 48 yrs before my grand father passed away he was 92, and they had 29yrs age difference between them.
so its not age that is the factor, its the 2 people and only those 2 it concerns.
now about older guys writing to you, if they are being nice and send a respectful message then just write them back and say no thank you, and take it as a compliment.
if its a ditry or nasty type message, reply and tell them to place it where the sun don't shine.
saddly 1 out of 500 men out there YOUR AGE.. are jerks looking to just have their way with you, and nothing else... FACT.... some of the things you ladies(your age) post here what your looking for, well good luck in finding it in a younger man, why should he just pick one when he can have a dozen just like you ..a pretty face and hot body !!!
i do message younger women, and in my profile i say why i might send you a message, and it is because you have written a nice profile or said something i have the same interest as you, not because i find you nice looking, at our age (most of us anyway) are looking for inner beauty, and a nice person.. i have messaged several young women here and made new friends, some even were married no biggie... as i am only looking to meet new people.
so lighten up on yourself, step back and be happy you get a message hey its the older guy who may write to you that turns out to be a REAL FRIEND... not just wanting to get some booty(as i have seen it called here) so open your mind a little and your heart.. girl you might just find life much more FUN.... remember not all men want you for sex!!! plain and simple..
and about everyone telling you to change your settings... DUH !!!!???? you known that since you signed up here...
p.s. yes you may write to me anytime, as long as your only looking for clean fun friendly chat.... i do not allow age to ever be a barrier when making new friends..

Why is it that on this website there seems to be an epidemic of 40+ men hitting on (trying to talk to) young women ? I am 25 and I get a least 2 messages everyday that are from men 40+ and quite a few IMs. Even when I put a age limit in my profile (22-32)...I still get so many?

Others have basically said this, but let me try to make it VERY simple. You have two choices.

1) You can start forum threads and whine (and maybe brag?) about it.

2) You can use the contact filtering capability that POF has provided for you to prevent such a thing from happening at all.

So far you've proven to us all that you can do #1 quite well. Why don't you try #2 now and see how that works for you?

Just human nature!

Biologically we are driven to perpetuate the species.
Men (who are not physically limited by age to do so) are
driven to women who can still reproduce.

Sorry this sound a little dry, but it IS the truth.
As living beings, we are driven by the hormones and chemicals
that control how we act and even think.

Besides, you're hot!

Dallas Flier... good post, unfortunately, probably won't be read.

Note: OP put this out there in JULY... spent several posts adamantly stating she has it in "her profile" that she only wants 22-32; and yet, despite one response, after another here suggesting that she make it so in her preference settings to prevent older guys from contacting her -- 6 months later nothing has changed. So older guys will continue to contact her; proving, of course, her whole thread was totally about "needing attention." IMHO

Because:
1. Many are seeking to recapture their youth.
2. Many are horny and forget that they are no longer in their youth and prime either.
3. Sophomoric behavior doesn't stop at 40.
4. Can't see beyond what is immediately sexually attractive to them.

Hummm? Must be a theme here somewhere.
As always: JMO

I figure if I solicit 100 young females a day the law of averages will have me hook up with one a month. And oh mama when you are as old as me the young stuff is like gold! Gold I say!

You would be suprised to know how many young woman I have scored off of here.

I do all right thank you.

Kind regards,

Hank

Well I'd make the most of what you have Violetskye cause one day you're gonna end up getting over 40/50 or even 60 and then you'll know the answer to you're own question.
It's funny but the older you get the faster the clock goes. When I was a kid summers never ended and Xmas never came. Now, Christmas comes in the summer.

Most young women or young men , don't want to date someone old enough to be their parent, and to be mistaken for their parent if they happen to go out with them. That's just plain weird!.

Honestly i don't try/hit on young women. In my opinion thoses guys are not comfortable or accept " i am getting older". For me i am comfortable and accept my age and hopefully meet someone around my age. I think with guys it may be ego or fear of getting old.

Not everyone has the same narrow range of ages when it comes to dating and relationships. What is it about people taking offense at what other adults want to do? Why suppose bad motives or flaws in character? A broader view of human history, various cultures and the extent of sexuality shows this is not odd or bad at all. I think sometimes when I read opinions here I am in Gopher Prarie, Minnesota.

If I see something interesting or maybe quite funny in someone's profile, I may send that person an e-mail commenting on it, expecting nothing in return. Guess that makes me a pervert to some here.

Some men 45+ do not look 35. And same goes for women. Why do women 45+ hit on young men? My answer: Y not. U can always say, "no" in a polite way. Of course you can always say, "no" in an offending way. But if you can only take compliments from boys your own age, well that is your perogative. Personally I prefer a mature woman. And maturity has nothing to do with age. Sound like you've been offended by someone.

It's because we men just like women.If you're young or older,it doesn't matter as long as you're desireable.Take it as a compliment.It's nothing to get upset about.I'm 45,I like older and younger women.What's the problem?

I cant believe so many people are condoning this behaviour. The girl looks like a young child. What on earth could a 40yr old have to talk about to her. Unless you have a lot of money and look a lot younger than your age (mind you most men think this anyway) she wouldnt be seen dead with you so look in the mirror properley and grow up.
So do men perv on their kids friends and think theyd like to have a go and whats the difference?
Ive seen old fat bald bar pigs hanging of a bar stool looking the young girls up and down as if they had a choice. I find this behaviour repulsive. It happened to me often when i was a young child with a well developed body. I stil remember the feeling of being undressed with their beedy pervert eyes. It makes my skin crawl just thinking of it.

Moondowner what do you mean if you see something funny on a young girls profile you may send an email commenting on it. What are you doing looking at girls in that age catagory for in the first place. Stop using pathetic excuses for being are a pervert!

What is the big deal here? So what if men talk to younger people? Everyone on POF are of age, and they have to deal with it. If a younger person doesn't want e-mail from someone older, they can pick a different age limit. The OP is 25, she should be able to use her head and just delete/unread if she doesn't want the e-mails, or change her preferences. JMO
