Just generalizing here, women my age (53) seem to look older than me and can not keep up with me and my adventurous activities. On the other hand, their children are usually grown which is a plus. I haven't really got into this dating stuff yet, but I am attracted to women at least a few years younger it seems. Maybe they just seem a better match

Well thank you :)


Beginning to see that most of us have our own views about how ppl are at a certain age, sometimes based on 1 bad experience, sometimes not based on anything other than an opinion, a thought.
These views and opinions don't seem to help at all.
When we meet ppl in RL such views and opinions are less important as no one is walking around with a sign of his/her age on his chest. So you can simply fall for someone because of how he looks, behaves, "feels" and after that find out his/her age.
Online we set these parameters, no older than ... not younger than ... and maybe we all should cut ourselves some slack and not set them up for what we really really (think we) want and need, but allow for a bit more range.

For instance, I m looking and hoping to find someone between age 43-51. As far as I'm concerned, men over 52 are too 'old' in their ways (sedate), usually not so active anymore, or they look like their best years are behind them.
But of course there's exceptions to the rule, like awilli.

awilli seems to think women younger than 53 all have younger children
(I'm 47, mine are 20 and 22) and all women 52-53 can't keep up. Can't judge that, as I'm younger, but I do know women that age that are still very active, probably similar to awilli. So we all seem to have our prejudice views.
And it looks like these limit us tremendously!

After some 6 pages I think we should all try to let go of set views and loosen up on preconditions. It indeed isn't black & white

I strongly agree with you.. So i think women like you ought switch onto young ones like me.. Nevermind

guess he changed his mind half way through the sentence, considering he ends it with "never mind".
Or Google Translator didn't do it's job properly, hard to tell

He changed his mind not doubt.But would you have 'fallen' for him?

I somehow doubt it

If there wasn't so many miles between us, I would have messaged you right away when I joined. Crystal, you are a beautiful woman and I have no doubt that you will find your man.

Thank you!

Apsalulty we do, it is that women our age want these young bucks that for some reason are able to keep them feeling young and beautiful. Witch makes me feel like what the hell is wrong with them. I see beautiful women on here that seem do have some education and yes they may have their own place and transportation and they really don't need a man for any reason other then as a real partner and companion. But they still chase the younger man. I am waiting to see what a women will do when she does give a man our age a chance to show them real love the kind a younger guy has yet to find. A 50 year old woman and a 35 year old man really don't have as much in common as some one in you own age group so If you want a man your age then talk to them and watch them chase you. But when they do don't chase them away.

Sounds to me like the pot is calling the kettle black ...

Alright then honey. Why don't you speak to me then?

Huh?

Ok,this is how it is,I always liked older woman and now age appropriate
woman,that I'm attracted to but my generation is a very small
generation (Gen X ers) caught between two huge generations,so I just
find them to be few and far between when I was in my twenties
there was no shortage of cougars as you here that common
complaint today.
so it just comes down to supply and demand,its just a very narrow
margin that I would get with one, keeping that in mind
and as well as the energy level(shut ins) also more would be into a relationship at that age, happy or not.
then you may not get the response you are looking for if it looked like
she's acknowledged you when you approach her, do to sheer rust on her
part, I find, but it feels like they're to quick to move on but seem
Friendly/interested or just a lot less impressed.
Like Jerry Seinfeld said "its like two magicians entertaining
themselves: watch this! Look, a Rabbit! 'Big deal! I can make
a dove appear! 'So what' "

So at the end of the day we start to be more attracted to younger
ones because that's what we see and talk to most and they're mainly not
shy to let you know there's interested,I'm just use to young woman
now, I'm in a recreational centre right now and just meet
this young petite girl as I was writing this, I guess her Mom is in
ruining the fitness centre and daughter is out chatting with me,three
times Jurring this post she walked by like four times and every time I l looked up she smiled at me and didn't look away once then I asked what they are doing back there,when I was here to weeks ago
I carried a small suitcase up the stairs for her as it seemed heavy,
It was full of weights that weighed more that her,she thanked me and
I said "you can have anything you want" I guess that's
why she didn't look away as I looked up...guess rejection wasn't
a fear. Ok four times, she just dropped me off a recipe, get this
it says chocolate CHICK cookies
prep for 30 minutes. ...ok lol no lie

I cant tell you the last time a woman my age that was approachable, did
it go anywhere. ..not saying that this will for certain, but I think
I'm going to be eating vanilla CHICK cookie

Well, I messaged you and sent you a friend request and I'm in the age range that you say that you're looking for, so I'm wondering what the problem really is.

Could be aglitch with the site I suppose.

It must be well at least your putting it out there so she will see this and get back to you soon, please keep us posted...or we will
just keep asking....sure that what we do in North American we get
right up in your s_ _ _! Cheeky would you stay

I've heard this comment many times. Two years ago I did a search on Plenty of Fish without logging on (don't want men thinking I'm weird). I searched men's profiles ages 50 to 65 within a 50 mile radius. In my notes I had a number of categories. One of which was the age range of interest. Out of five hundred profiles I found two that stated they wanted someone in their late 20's into their 30's.

Now I understand that some may not state this but I wonder where women obtain this generalized concept. You've met every man within a, say, 30 mile radius and all of them want 20 or 30 year old women? Remember when you say "men" in English (without some sort of modifier) this is an all inclusive statement.

I did the same "study" on women in my area and found a few who wanted men who were much younger. Personally I wonder if this idea is blown out of proportion by women who can't seem to get attention.

Ladies when you make statements like this many men find it insulting. My acceptance range is 53 to 65.

* Note: this is in my area and not country wide. My area (north central Indiana) has a population near 800,000.

interesting....someone has less of a life than I..lol jk it is interesting ..good work...now I got to see this striper again
she can bounce quarters With her abs and shoot them with accuracy
about 4.5 ft in a beer jug...never seen that one before

Some older women complain that men only want younger women. What proof have they to offer.Even if some guy wants a younger woman why do you care? In the end women will say they don't care yet they keep writing the same types of threads. If it doesn't mean anything to you why keep writing? Let it go unless these women are lonely and jealous.
