lol, I know what you mean. I am 28, my age range is 25-34...i have already said i kinda like the younger guys (: That being said, I dont know WHY anyone who is 40+ would write to me...but it happens. I would never write to someone if i was out of their age range.
Now that we have this 'view' thing i'm able to see guys that are viewing me and quite a few are in their 40's and 50's. Now I know sometimes older guys like younger women...but if you are on an online dating site clearly you are looking for a relationship of some sort...so do these 40-50 year old guys really think they have a chance with girls in their 20's?? not to mention they are not attractive, nor do they seem to have much going on in their lives. Ugh. It bothers me...
LOL, I get emails and winks from guys who are 40-50 years old all the time even though the age range I specified is 29-35. I just delete them. Maybe I should send them the decline note, but why should I be the courteous one. He's the one who gambled with it and emailed me even though he's not in my specified age range... It's plain as day posted right on my profile.
lol, i dont see anyone with glasses and a mustache...but sounds lovely (: I guess it's to be expected...maybe these people are bored and are just checking people out? i have no idea...a few have written though and again...not sure what they'd think we have in common. I am in MA too (:
I so understand what you are going thu. I just turned 31, I specify an age range of 33 to 40 years old. I still get Email and IM’s from men in their late 50’s or early 20’s. It is as if they don’t read profile and stop at how you look in the pictures with your profile. That’s such a “turn off” for me.
One of these gentlemen even sent me a fiery email because I choose to ignore his mails and IM’s. I replied that, as CLEARLY noted in my text, I’m not interested in dating someone outside this age range. I mean, if they want to waste credits and their time that’s their problem right?
yeah i seem to get contacted by old men on lavalife a lot. It's the type of place where they can send an IM. If i'm not interested I just ignore the IM. these two old guys though...everytime i get online they IM me. It's very annoying. I havent said anything, but wouldnt you think they'd get the hint by now? it's like, Um i am not answering you, dont you that means i dont want to talk? that actually happened yesterday with a 26 year old...he logged on, he kept sending message after message, mailed me, even said, oh i dont know if you got my mail, but i wanted to say hi. I dont get why people embaress themselves like this.
Ahhh. I swear there's no one out there for me ): Dont know why i keep looking.
LOL....I completely understand where you are coming from...I actually got an email from a 76 years old...I'm only 34 and I prefer men aroung 28 - 38 but I'm getting alot of emails from 50 and up...I think it looks totally wrong if boyfriend looks older then my father...hahahaha
I really don't understand why so many older men would bother to email me too! When I was on yahoo, I'd routinely get messages from men in their 40s and 50s, even though I was only 23 and posted an age range of 25 to 30 (and that 30 was pushing it for me)! Why would someone who's 23 ever consider dating a guy over 50? Gross.
Anyway, on a somewhat related note... have you ever felt like the venue of online dating makes men ultra picky? Like, because there are so many options (aka beautiful young women) just spread out before them they think they can be really picky and get someone out of their league? I often feel like (not to sound completely conceited or anything) I was just too good for a lot of the guys messaging me and, I'd say that about 90% of the guys I would message never replied to me in any manner. I mean, I'm at least somewhat attractive, funny, smart, successful, etc. but often felt overlooked in the online dating game... I got plenty of messages from overweight, unemployed guys living with their parents though!

YES!
I know, I get a lot from guys who have nothing in common with me.
Hi to you both,
