If they want to get married and you don't, they don't feel like seeing you anymore. Same the other way around.
I agree with this, though I wouldn't be put off by it if we met offline. Best not to waste time with someone who isn't seeking the same things you are.

Yea I wouldn't go five minutes without asking how old and in some cases asking for I.D.

Had a girl staying with me one time,told me she was 18.Found out later on from another girl that she was a 16 year old run away. That girl was back home in Kentucky in just a few hours.

Have to agree with this one! She`s good enough to take home for a night or two, but nothing serious huh?

I have never asked questions #1 and #2. The third question is fair to ask if the woman appears to be less than 18 years old. But there are probably more tactful or less obvious ways of asking it...

I agree, if he's attracted to the 40-year old, what does age matter? it's only a number.

In this case I'd ask if I were a guy, too. Who wants to go to jail? Besides these girls are young enough not to care about such a question.

Sure, like the employers - when did you graduate from high school?

Let me rephrase that, I do not want someone else's kids. I dont know if I do or dont want kids until I find someone I deem suitable to have children with and raise them. That hasnt happened, therefore at this time I do not want children. To me when people just simply say "I want kids" and arent in a relationship, its kind of just setting off a red flag that they are going to drop their standards immensely in pursuit of a male that has the ability to knock them up. This doesnt imply they have very high standards (to me).

Most women my own age or older already have kids or baggage, so I aim for a bit younger than myself as they usually dont have those issues yet. In the event I find someone 10 years older I still am not interested, usually because in the long run I wont have enough in common with them, and once again I want someone closer to my age so we can go through a lot of the debilitating diseases later in life together (lol). Also this is all just my viewpoints and opinions on the topic, I'm not trying to push my views on anyone, do what makes you happy.

Yep. Or, "Hey, what college do you go to?" And when she says, "College? I'm still in high school!"

I go, "Oh..." [walks away...]

I dont "take women home" or take advantage of them.
