Why do older guys INSIST on contacting me when I clearly state that im not interested in anyone more then 5-7 years older then me. I have guys that are 13+ years older then me contacting me. I guess they are assuming when I see their pic I am going to swoon? Does this happen to anyone else?

I am SO with you gm! Lately, with my increased traffic on Match, I have also been getting increased traffic from much older men than my profile or far outside my geographic area. I had one of those ones last week that said "Yes, I know I am out of your age range, but I am "immature" for my age". Niiiice. Also had this 40 year old cowboy who lives an hour and a half outside the city in some god-forsaken tiny town on a farm contact me because he thought "we could have fun teasing each other because he likes the Dallas Cowboys and UT and I don't like the Cowboys and like OU" also neglecting to look that I am very much a city girl. I also get the ones that have kids at home even though I say I am looking for someone without kids or that the kids don't live at home.
I do think they think that we will swoon over their picture, brilliant personality or sharp wit. Sigh....
GM - Your revised profile was so funny!!! That would be so funny, can you imagine a guy's reaction if we were to actually write a profile like that! But the sad thing is that they'd probably think we were serious! I honestly do not think many read the profiles at all though!
Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, amjay, WE get the ones that are collecting Social Security (or the equivalent of that in Canada). Feh!

ROFL, but you forgot one important detail:
"He must profess instant and undying love for me and then promptly lose my phone number."

I actually do have the following in my profile:
"Tragically, not one of my friends has anything good to say about me, so you will just have to take the following on faith".
Funny enough, they are NOT lining up!
