If there was a "vomiting profusely" icon, I would have used it. Last night I got a message from some man who was 70 years old. Ptooie! I may be 49, but I draw the line at men who are collecting Social Security. Unless of course they have a bazillion dollars, no living heirs and a terminal illness. JUST KIDDING :-) I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There's a program called Hotbar you can download and it has a "vomiting" icon.

Yup, I'm with ya'll on some of this too. I was 32 and got contacted by a 55 year old (who also lived in Utah when I am in Texas) and last year at 33 I got an email from a 59 year old who when I told him that I was looking for someone younger (those were the days when I was responding to every email and wink with a thanks but no thanks) he gave me the young at heart line and said he had friends of all ages. Well, I don't want to be his "friend" that is young enough to be his daughter! I didn't answer at that point and blocked.

Here is what I have learned in almost a year of online dating, and dating in the real world too.

I'm 42. A 27 year old man will pursue me because of that whole sexual prime thing. A 55 year old man will pursue me because to him, I am young. But the men that I consider in my range -- 37 - 50-- will pursue a 25 year old. I'm invisible!

I saw a thing in a men's magazine once that said that the general rule for men is that the youngest a man can go in the age of the woman he dates is 1/2 his age plus three years. So the 70 year old is right on target for a 38 year old!!!

Pretty hilarious...

Dear Mr. Attractive,

You sound to be a little older than my ideal date range, but it is not a serious issue as long as you can completely satisfy me in that aspect. I demand xx times a day at least, every day, and please keep in mind that you taking drugs would not make me feel happy. Viagra, for example, raises blood pressure and I will not be responsible for your heart health in order to catch up with my appetite, so please think again if you would really want to talk with me or not.

Sincerely,

--

and I say, "eeewwww..."!
gee.. I need to go back to study for Anatomy exam..

You know what's really bad? My son asked me if I could ever do an Anna Nicole, and I had to really think about it before answering. LMAO

Hi ABM,

I get emails and winks from the old farts all the time - I agree eeeeewwwwwww! They don't believe us when we state our desired age range, and of course state that they "look much younger than their age"! Yeah that changes my mind! I also get irritated with the old ones that try to impress you with their "stuff" such as vacation homes, large boats, businesses, net worth, etc. I am a very active and lively woman and don't want to spend the next 20 to 30 years or so taking care of an ailing man until he departs!
