Author	Thread: AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE.
Admin	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. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 07:55 AM I imagine shawn falls victim to scammers a lot� Two and tu, I appreciate you guys having a sense of humor (since I hope you guys are joking about juggling girlfriends), but the original poster seems pretty upset, so she might not be able to appreciate it at the moment. The trend seems to be that older men that specifically target younger women have inflated egos and are shallow and selfish. I am not saying that because a man is with a younger woman, he is a jerk; a man who prefers it as a dating requirement probably is. Just like the man who MUST have a blonde or MUST have somebody who�s at least 5�7� and under 140 lbs. I have LOTS of �anecdotal evidence� on this subject, and never have I encountered an �older man� interested in me that could give any legitimate, Godly reason he was interested: just something selfish and completely inconsiderate of the youthful woman. And that�s what I�m seeing here. My sister�s boyfriend is 20 years older than her, and the girlfriend he had before her was 15 years older than him. They are currently having trouble in their relationship because he can�t �keep up� with her, and she wants to have kids that don�t have a dead or elderly father. She lives in Germany, and people still think it�s unusual that she has such an �old� boyfriend. Of course, I don�t expect to be able to talk you older gents out of your idea that a young woman would love to spend the prime of her life taking care of her old husband, you�re just old and stuck in your ways. :goofball: BHGF, not all �men� are selfish, shallow idiots. Just the vast majority. It is probably really hurtful for you to read this stuff, but the problem is not yours, it is theirs. Post Reply
View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 09:51 AM I have dealt with POST~MENAPAUSAL men before ~ so it is not new to me in this light. I don't squint and a brick doesn't have to fall on me...nor did I just fall off the turnip truck... ...my age is a giveaway that I have been around the block. A person that I totally fell in love with from this site ~ I just gave him the boot yesterday evening. He tried continually to convince me that his health was an issue ~ it is ~ that he was broke ~ he is ~ that I should look for someone else. For eight months ~ I refused to consider it. In retrospect ~ I would be taking care of him in another year or two. Been there..done that... I am not ready for that as of yet ~ nor am I ready for the "nurse or purse" syndrome. What I AM ready for is a vibrant ~ fun-loving ~ GOD FILLED AND GOD INSPIRED gentleman ~ who enjoys laughter ~ without being derogatory and insulting ~ with undertones of sexual OVERTURES ~ and they seem to be far and very few between at this particular site. I finally took the advise of my 8-month relationship here ~ and I hope he lives a long and healthy life; it just won't be with me in it. I can still attract the right kind of GENTLEMEN ~ and I have waded through many men here who simply got banned because they didn't know how to clean up their act. I have been everything from attacked at this site ~ to "boys" who profess to love older women. I could gag on that one. :ROFL: Give me honesty any day of the week. My profile says it all without going into the "I AM" syndrome. For me ~ honesty will never go out of style. Being curt and obnoxious is already there. Post Reply
View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 11:35 AM My age range range is around 18-35 for friendship,but i always have admire women around the age of 33,ever since i was 18 because they seem to be more "wiser" when they reach that age (no offence to women under that age of course,i'm only 23).I believe though,that if the guys who put on their profile 18-35 & their age is around 60 for a date or marriage partner,they need help! But i see no problem with guys looking for friend around that age range,but they should clearly state that on their profile anyway. Post Reply
SilverFire View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 05:35 PM MOST MEN ON THIS SITE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. I hate to keep repeating myself, but this entire thread starts off with a misassumption -- why are you (Christian men) doing this? The answer is, for the most part, we're not. Post Reply

View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 06:05 PM siyli I think you are taking my point wrong. I am not advocating big age ranges. I would not want to date a woman 20 years younger than me. I stated early the lower end of what I am willing to consider is 7-10 years younger, and that based a lot on being pragmatic as there are not that many 40 somethings that have never been married. I was simply saying that in my view there are places where women do like older men. And no I do not fall victim to scammers.So why am I the bad guy here? Post Reply
View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 06:05 PM For my part ~ I simply asked an honest question. I did not use statistical data ~ nor did I assume percentages in my initial presentation of this thread. I merely asked the question. You all are free to respond in any way you see fit ~ but please don't beat up the messenger ~ er ~ that would be me. I didn't presume anything ~ I never made out and out accusations. I have been reading profiles ~ looking at age ranges, and, I have seen plenty of what I described in the initial remarks I made here in the very beginning of this, at page one. I asked an honest question ~ with a couple tags on it, such as a Part B and/or Part C. In no way have I tried to present this in a derogatory manner nor in a disrespectful way. I merely asked. And, I wanted honest responses. None of us know the percentages of who is or is not a Christian. That would be rather judgemental and none of us have that right. Any person who says he or she is or is not ~ must answer in the end now, musn't they? I would not have posed this question/thread had it not been so in my viewing. That is to say ~ what I have been reading with ages listed and the desire for marriage and the age limit beginning at 18 though the person is at or over the age of 50 or even 60. . I didn't pick it out of the sky just to hear my head rattle. I thought my question was legitimate. At least, that was how it has been presented by me. Please know I have meant no disrespect to anyone here ~ and, certainly, have not intended for it to be a target. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 06:38 PM Grace, I hear what you are saying, but even when he was here on Earth, Jesus had multitudes of followers, and far, far fewer were true believers. We do not have any authority to decide someone's faith for them, but in the lack of a presence of fruit, it is only wise to meet their claim with some skepticism. If someone tells you they have an apple tree, but all you see growing on it are lemons, you are wise to question whether the tree really is an apple tree. Post Reply

After a page or two, the conversation can't be expected to progress in a linear fashion, as we are responding to other people's posts at that point, not the original question. Post Reply
View Profile History	AGE RANGES SET BY MALES AT THIS SITE. Posted : 4 Dec, 2010 10:15 PM You made your point, SilverFire. Sorry if you expected it to effectively end the discussion. And you're right Shawn, I totally misdirected my frustration at you. And misdirected isn't even the right word, I didn't need to get my panties in a twist like I did. I just get real defensive about some things, and it definitely blinded me in this case. Thanks for helping me see that error. Post Reply
