Not always, believe me.

This. It's not fun to be pursued by people you're not into, regardless of your reason for not being into them. This is just part of life. (Well, for many of us it is, anyway. For some people it's not part of life because no one is attracted to them, which would be considerably worse, IMO.)

Usually the older guys like to stare, but they rarely ask me out.

I'll just chalk it up to the sign on my head that encourages people to tell me their life stories in the grocery store line. My friends and I like to joke that I should really be a spy. I'd be able to get so much information out of people.

I hate these kind of threads. We all know that the older guys are hitting on the younger women for one reason...and the younger women like the old guy's wallet. It's all disgusting.

Really? Because it seems like on this thread the younger women aren't very interested.

It sounds like you've rejected quite a few people based on age, too. It happens. The dating world can be cruel, and nearly all of us experience rejection at some point. That's just part of the deal.
The difference is the men I rejected based on age were much older and the men who rejected me were my age.

That's no "difference" at all. Rejection is rejection. Do you think it somehow hurts less if the person doing the rejection is younger? My point was that we all reject some people, and we all get rejected by some people. That's the dating world. Get over it.

There is a difference. An older man who gets rejected based on age should date someone his age.

IDDY, stop right there.

No, there is no difference. If what you say above is true, then it should also be true that if you get rejected for being religious and not wanting children, then you should date people who aren't religious and want children.

There is NO difference in which criteria a person rejects a person on. And neither scenario is either fair or unfair.

If someone is getting rejected for being religious and not wanting children (or whatever else)should then pursue someone the same way. Too many people get rejected for those reasons and then wonder why, well duh go for someone like them. In the case of an older man being rejected by younger women that should be his sign that he is unrealistic and should date someone his age. It's not the same thing as a woman my age rejecting a man much older because we aren't the same. Sure he can continue to pursue younger women but if he is failing that means he has nothing to offer these women.
