AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE.
Posted : 3 Dec, 2010 11:13 AM

... first, let me do a disclaimer here...if this has been posted and/or questioned before, I haven't seen it. I did not take the time to wade through all the subject matter to discover this particular topic...



So, here is my question:



If a man posts his profile and he is over the age of 60 ~ and he is interested in marriage or finding a marriage partner ~ and his age range begins at the age of 18 (listing of those he would be interested in speaking to, etc.)...how do you feel about that?



It gives me the chills and I wonder...but I sure got a Red Flag when I see things like that.



What would a 60+ year old man want with an 18-year-old. Is this age appropriate?



Someone steer me in the right direction because as it stands now, it makes me more than a bit uncomfortable.

Don't forget there may be a technical answer to that. When you set the age range, this site blocks users outside that range from contacting you. So it is possible to have to set the age range so people can contact you on a purely friends level, to follow up on a forum discussion, etc etc.

I have mine open to all ages so that I can receive messages from everyone, but I then specified in my profile what age range I am looking for in a marriage partner.



There are those, however, who are looking for a WAY younger woman.



I would look and see if he tends to posts in the forums or not.

Shawn and Cobbler have already said it. I really enjoy discussing topics with those who don't have the same generational mindset as myself.

As for marriage...

some may say...

"Why limit yourself"

However...

I agree with Clint Eastwood on this...

"A man has got to know his limitations"

I agree with you both and thank you for your responses. I guess ~ clearly ~ if someone is looking for "friendship" and the age range would be, "any" ~ there is a difference there.



However, in many cases, what I see written is the person ~ male ~ at the said age range (which I questioned) and the beginning "range" starting at the teenage level.



When I just placed that word, above ("teenage") ... it once again gave me a bit of a chill. EIGHTEEN...is inclusive.



Now, trust me, I am not trying to turn something into a "negative" here ~ because even I have placed my age range (in the past) to "any".



BUT... By the same token ~ I also never specified that I was seeking a marriage partner.



And, yes, some do in fact have the age ranges set very low. That being the case ~ I wonder at the sincerity. Dreaming?



Yeah ~ they might be a dreamer...or in a fog. Or something.:ROFL:

Not being a man, I can only give an opinion.



Sometimes I think it's not wanting to let go of their youth, mid-life crisis or like Hugh Heffner, just wanting young beautiful women to boost their ego and give them the outward persona of being the mack.



Who knows why men do what they do? :toomuch::laugh:



I can't talk long on it since I prefer older men myself. (I'm 39 and the last guy I went on a date with a couple months ago was 55) When the age diff start stretching beyond 20 years there could possibly be something unhealthy going on mentally. But if we took statiscs, I would bet it would be as simple as for young women, security and older men, a youthful wife to be a tropy on their arm.



I suppose everybody over 18 is in the pool, but how anyone in their 60's could deal with the foolishness of youth that is an 18 yr old is beyond me.

Opinions are always wanted ~ male or female. They are all important and valued by me. And, it might in some way clear up some things that might be considered "iffy" at best.



Who knows why such things happen, but, they certainly do.



My personal thought and observation is that someone being in the Senior Citizen classification ~ has Grandchildren that age. Imagine introducing an 18-year-old girlfriend to an 18-year-old Grandchild...EuWWWWwwwwwwwwww



Or, reverse the situation ~ and it would appear the same if the gender were reversed...so that train runs both ways ~ I am not discriminatory!!! :ROFL:

"Well Granddad, if things don't work out between you and your girlfriend, can you be sure to give her my number? We do go to the same university, and I think she's pretty cute."

Dear BHGF:

In answer to your question

�What would a 60+ year old man want with an 18-year-old. Is this age appropriate?�

I will ask you a question and if you can answer I�ll explain it. How Old did King David live. 1 Kings Chapter one gives an example of what young beautiful virgins are good for. And it is not what you think, Evil in the eye of the noisy gossip type. King David�s other wives could not give him what he needed.

I�m not quite sixty and I have heard this complaint so often on here. I am beginning to wonder if �HEY� maybe there is �some good reason� for an older guy to find a younger woman. What exactly is required for a guy my age?

I think the main fear is menopausal or avanced pms post menopausal women syndrome. The thought,and I'm not saying I agree, is it is better to get a woman before she goes all crazy (hormone stuff). :eat:

I can't tell you WHY they do it ---- but I have seen it many, many times. And it is not just the 60 year olds. It is the mid 40's through late 50 year olds who also do the same thing.

*She caught my eye in a crowded restaurant, sweet as honey.

*The cutest little young thing ever, maybe 19 or 20.



*She was staring at me with a strange desire.

*Some where inside me lit a once smoldering fire.



*She walked to my table, wearing high heels and a mini-skirt.

* Oh, she wants me for sure and is coming to flirt!



*I sit up straight trying to look young and firm not old and flabby.

* She get to my table and asks "Aren't you friends with my Grandaddy?"
