Game laws says you got to let the young ones off the hook or those not meeting the minimum size.
Clearly you have no clue about, well, about most everything. You have misread, and assumed incorrectly. Yet again.

Col. Mustard did it in the pantry with the lead pipe. I will match my lack of most everything to your lack of comprehension beyond that of a third grader (age of guys you prefer to date??) but I am afraid that Nature abhors a vacuum and the Universe will be wiped out.

Apparently not. You're still here.

I wonder the same thing. I'm in my late 20s and I just received a Match.com message from a 53 year old man. They send winks/messages to me all the time, and I'm pretty sure I set my upper age limit to 38. It's really annoying.

Touché
Seems the OP has only complained and gone. So you are right, no need to spend anymore time here. I have more interesting things to do before entropy occurs.

I think its one big myth that older men are interested in dating younger women. Maybe interested in sex only,but in always they tell me I'm too young to date. Most women in my family who are 50 have no problem dating. Men in their age range. Plus,there are young women who genuinely are interested in older men like me,and I'm not looking for a sugar daddy either.

I have too ask:why must the men in your age range who you want to date have to be above average looking?are you above average looking? I'm just saying if you concentrate on the heart I don't get why looks should matter.

I see what you mean, but I've met people in their 30's even who were like that. They still listen to the same music that they did in their teens and still eat the same food and have the same views--it's like they decided to set their personalities in stone.

I am 33 and most of the time I prefer younger men or aorund my age, just because they have less bagagge. And also, I take good care of myself and do not want to be with someone with health issues.

Like someone aged 40 would be weird, and some in their 50's no way (my dad is only 59 so no thanks)

As a younger woman, I am currently dating an older man. He is 38, and I am 24. We do have a lot in common, and we get along well. I have never really dated men my own age much, because I am not into beerpong, video games, or babysitting. My bf has a great career, interests of his own, and is someone I can talk to for hours without once hearing the word dude come out of his mouth.

As for the OP, my family members that are in their late 40's to early 50's date a lot. They don't meet their dates online, though. They generally meet them through a friend of a friend or a family member. Good luck.

I hear you, although from the other side of the room (21 years, guy).

I can definitely see the appeal of an older woman. They don't age as horribly as society's norms in general would have us believe (provided they don't eat themselves into oblivion). Further, they have more confident, established personalities. I suppose it's best simplified as they are mature adults. I find this attractive in people.

Georgianbelle, you like meaningful conversations without the word "dude" and other slang? I too enjoy conversations in Formal English without hearing about the latest flash in the pan musician or slang-of-the-month from TV.

I feel like so few in my age range have anything going on upstairs and suffer from "generic tastes and personality disorder." The real, working world should fix that soon enough.
