Should a 42 year old male email a 31 year old lady ?

Plain and simple, saw a profile of a lady who is 31, however I am 42.

I am not a player, and her profile did interest me, but feel what's the point as I feel that she would not reply.

She may not reply, no big deal.
She may. still no big deal.
If the lady in question doesn't have any age restrictions regarding her preferences, then why not?
Now go put on your big boy confidence pants and roll the dice.

You're both adults. Message her and find out. I don't think that people judge age differences as harshly as they used to. I mean, maybe if she was 18 and you were 30... that would be a little weird but 42 & 31? I don't think it's that big a deal.

Questions regarding differences in age are prolific as noxious weeds at PoF, and have managed to infested every forum except maybe Recipes and Cooking...

Which leads me to believe the powers that be should seriously consider giving this virulent topic a promotion; a forum of it's very own with a view... And a title on the door like 'Age Difference Issues"...

Aw, forget it...

Anyway, have you found those BBC pants that red was talkin' about yet?... If not - don't worry - it's still a bit early, but the stores will open soon...

Unless she has a mail restriction stating a particular age range that you are outside of, how do you know she wouldn't reply?

Should've, would've, could've. Life is too short to worry with what the general population thinks you should do. Do what you want. Take a chance. No risk, no reward.

That reminds me... is that jar of mayo in the fridge maybe too old to use?

It's either that or do away with the Age field on people's profiles, so it'd be more like real life where you don't know upfront except maybe only roughly by looking and then interacting. This would make people more of a mystery at first, and thus more intriguing (at least in theory).

"big boy confidence pants"
I laughed and almost peed a little. Spot on point! Amen. Except for Jr. High School every relationship I have been in was with a younger lady...wasn't looking for it like that it just happened that way. I don't think, other than preconceived notions from the masses, there are any set rules. May you find love man! My wish for you.

@funandlaughs40:

I guess you forgot your big boy pants. What are you bellyaching about? Email the lady. What's the worst that can happen?

Email her unless she has a specific age range mentioned on her profile and you are well outside of it.

Sure, why not? If she says no, then no big deal. 42 year old emailing a 13 year old that is a big NO!

why not? I have sent messages to women 10-14 younger and 10 years older. I have received messages from as young as 19 and up to 50. It is the internet. Go for it. Even if this lady doesn't work out, ya never know....

After 30, that is hardly much of an age difference!

Why not? It's not like you're 42 and she's 18.

I think the evidence for how most read forum threads has shown itself here. The OP said that he in fact did email the woman in question, now we're just waiting for an answer LOL! but apparently some are missing that.

It's not a matter of big boy pants or any thing else, it was the fact more so that I was married for 14 years, and have not really dated since prior to then, and all my ex'es were roughly the same age as myself.

So, I think why would a nice 31 year old lady want to talk with a 42 year old guy (regardless of who they were) ?

Anyway the result was.... READ DELETED.

No reply.... Oh well...

It could have been a read delete because you now have this forum posting attached to your profile. Also who knows why she didnt respond it could be a number of things. I say if someone intrests you email them who knows what will happen.

I am 27 and like older guys im actually seeing a guy whos 41. Thats just my preference though so like i said everyone is different.

it would work if you are the same age in the mind.
