Posted: 7/14/2007 4:35:04 AM | oh well it happens nightboy -- its our modern society
relax your not the only one -- you are not being soley targeted
I am considered old by women who are 30 ( i am 37 ) and I am inundated with offers from women over 50
Be nice - smile and live your life for yourself and no one else -- go about your business and be a good man and the universe may deliver one day ( no guarentee) -- if not - be happy you lead a good honest life | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 6:17:07 AM | | I hate to point it out but some of the guys and women here look much older than the age they claim and certainly seem a bit old for the lower age bracket they seem to think is suitable for them................if you look 50 you expect 50 yrs olds to chat you up - thats hardly surprising | |

age is a number, means nothing..
if their is something between 2 people..age, does not matter..
can be hard online, but we do have parties..sorry get togethers
some people just need to get over the age thing, as they may miss the one person that will rock their world.

Posted: 7/14/2007 8:23:31 AM | the age thing has been playing on my mind a bit lately.... i tend to date younger women 25-30 not by deliberate choice.... but thiking about it i think i go that way cos some reason i feel they still have that true belief in love.. you know the movie kind... more inoccence and less bitter.... please i know that this is not the case really...must be a sub concious thing but am finding i dont stay with them cos although age is nothing there is in most cases a difference of perception between 25 and 35... what u guys think?? maybe i just wanna be 25 again hahaha | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 10:13:59 PM | oh i agree get over the age thing
go for the person and not the age you,ll probably find that no one realy cares about how old you are or your "date"
just be happy
I think 10 years either side of my age is a wide enough range for me
so forget the age and go for who makes you feel alive and happy | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 12:16:44 AM | ^^^I think someone needs to make up their mind!!
"i agree get over the age thing" followed by"i think 10 years either side of my age is a wide enough range for me" seems a bit of a contradiction to me!!
Or maybe age is not an issue as long as you are not too many years apart......i dunno! | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 1:52:14 AM | Age barrier - how crazy is that??
I am 55 going on 35 and I challenge anyone to try to keep up with me in attitude, sense of humour, fitness, open mindedness etc etc etc - I am a total nutter and proud of it - I still drive a "BLOODY FAST CAR" (Honda Prelude fully worked) Black cuse they look mean - own a race car (Walkinshaw V8 SS Group A) muscle car - a NSX (red cause they go faster) I ski, skate, bush bash on dirt bikes, hang off mountains on the end of a rope - work a 50+ hour week - drink like a whale - I throw ourageous dinner parties - most of my female friends are aged between 25 - 40 and all have struggled to keep pace with me.
AGE IS BUT A STATE OF MIND . . . . . . THE BODY IS THE PROBLEM . . . IT GOES SOUTH . . . .
Last "serious relationship" was with a beautiful 33 year old . . . . . but thats a totally seperate posting one day in the future perhaps . . . .
GET OVER THE AGE THING - you might just fall for someone 25 years older / younger and enjoy a lifetime of happiness . . . . | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 3:00:11 AM | ^^Is that not just called a mid-life crisis or the male menopause or something??
Sorry could'nt resist!!!
I can't get beyond the fact that age does make a difference.
If i fell for someone 25 years younger then me i would be seriously in jail and 25 years older i would probably be single and trolling round POF again by the time im 50.
It just does really matter. | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 5:03:55 AM | ah hilly
i dont believe age is a problem but i,m not going out looking for someone with a 20 year differance, on saying that if i meet someone and there is a larger age gap i,m not going to let that get in the way if i feel strongly about the person
i think a 10 year gap is generous to look around for but its not set in concrete
i think if the mind and heart mix then go for it | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 1:53:50 PM | I think that is a bit harsh.
The women carry baggage statement. Many people carry baggage through life not just the female sex.
I personaly do not discriminate re someone's age. If the chemistry is right between two people its either there or it isn't.
If it doesn't work out or they are not saying what you want to hear just move on.
Life is to short to be bitter. | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 2:01:41 PM | I have a gorgeous 24 year old who brings my rubbish bins in for me and is always asking if he can help me with the garden. I don't overly encourage it either. He is just a nice guy. Very easy on the eye but would never make a move unless he did.
However I am not dead as yet and him painting the outside of the house shirtless almost made me fall off the ladder inside whilst painting :)
Besides I love talking to him and getting a different perspective on the world.
It wouldn't worry me a younger guy or someone 10 or so years older than me as long as we click. | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 4:13:06 PM | I have a definite, non-negotiable age criteria - Must have been born in the same century, and still breathing.

Posted: 7/15/2007 6:23:52 PM | | I'm not game to read your profile, having read what others have said about it. The sex thing would offend me for sure. Just one bit of advice.....TRY SMILING! | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 8:31:51 PM | For me, there is definitely an age bracket .... not too young ..... not that much older than me ..... can't remember if I used ages in my profile ..... would say somewhere 30 through to 42. But that is only one facet to the attraction thingy!!!! | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 9:24:54 PM | GOODNESS ME Nightboy where are you coming from lol to understand you I had to read your profile too and first and for most who are you referring to you say They and Them in most parts of your profile that is rude .
Couldnt you at least say My Lady, the woman Im interested in, my protentual partner??? They and Them is like your referring to an alien or somebody inferior to you. The other parts of your profile how it comes across to me sounds like your trying to prove yourself or get approval. The sex part lol ever thought of writing exotic books you might as well. Why go that far when most women that will read that section find it a big turn off. Also comparing yourself with the younger men saying your fitter then this or that?? isnt that a bit childish? Its not whats on the outside that counts so much but rather where your heart is at in life in honesty trust love etc.
Are you honest enough to admitt your mistakes in life and with relationships in that area?? Be fore you point the finger at somebody else take a good look at yourself.Ask why am I not getting the relationship you want then look what you have written in your profile as so many on here have also pointed out to you.
One who questions WHY that concerns others that effect them personaly
knows the answers to their own questions but denies the reality. | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 10:27:12 PM | Okay another thing everyone is mentioning now the age thing A woman ten years older or younger then me is not a worry but the gap and life experiences in those 10 years would be to some concern.I have found when I have dated younger women in that bracket although they may find it attractive to be with a man older or much older then she is what concerns me is the experiences the wisdom and maturity gained/gap in those 10 years.
Could the young woman be able to relate to where Im coming from what I have learnt in life to communicate and share some of the un common and common experiences and beliefs, culture, etc these things I have experience. I have to look into this because I have found the age gap between young and old at times is not fair and dose matter to me and the experiences and maturity I have gained in those 10 years that a young woman can not relate to.
Communication and maturity are the most common area's in our experiences in life and the closer the age between 2 people the less trouble in communicating on a mature level | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 4:18:53 AM | Ahh Hilly
Hey dont apologise for your comment mate ROTFLMAO 
You are a seventies kid my dear woman - probably the product of a quick bang in the back of a sandman van at the drivein.
I have decided to not have a mid life crisis honey - but I have caused a few - I drive fast cars & bikes - hang off mountains - bush walk - ski - skate - work a 50+ hour week - work with a street kids support group in my spare time and play hard for the rest of the time - because "I AM DAVE SO I CAN"
Male menopause mmmm is that when a guy can control his urges and have a men o pause - if you haver never had a friendship or relationship with a younger or older guy than you then how would you know if it is or is not for you.
Your OK  Hilly - just not too adventurious thats all

Posted: 7/16/2007 4:41:34 AM | ^^^ Well it'd be hard not to agree with Hilly when it seems like what's on offer is an 18 year old intellect in a 50+ year old body. The worst of both worlds with respect to what a 35 year old woman would logically define as being an age barrier. Can I share your bucket Charli?  | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 4:43:34 AM | Ahh Dave.....the only thing worse then a menopausal man is a menopausal man in denial!!
Fast cars are a substitute for something i believe.........but can't seem to remember what at the moment
As for the sandman van..........more likely the back seat of the number 11 bus i would imagine....
Sorry, but no matter how you dress it age does matter.I would like to be still having sex with my other half in 20 years time not changing his diaper.........if i could find an other half of course!!
20 years my senior makes a man 55,slightly younger then my Dad.Now my Dad may be a cool old fella and funny as they come(where i got it from possibly!!) but i still know what he looks like first thing in the morning, in his jammie pants and vest with his teeth still in their pot and it just aint my cup of tea!! | |
