So I'm on lavalife.... I decided to keep my profile modest and zen, its seriously 3 lines.... of which one, appears as follows:



****desired age range 21-31, with possible exception of Hugh Grant, no others****



I'm 21, so I think this is a fair (if broad) range.... so why is it that when I log in today I have 4 winks, from men aged 32, 35, 36 and FORTY NINE! seriously! not to offend those who are those ages.... but why would you assume that I would bend my rule!?!? either that or they have no interest in my as more then a picture and didn't take the time to read my THREE lines! And easily 70% of men who contact me are older then my range.... I don't get it...

I think it's a wishful thinking and what do I have to lose mentality.....

I am 44 and have an age range of 38-48 but in the last 3 days have gotten two guys contacting me who are in their early 20's.....I was shocked. Granted I look a bit younger than 44 but that is just silly...no offense to the men, of course.

I assume they all think they fit the "Hugh Grant" category...

That's okay... I'm on 'women seeking women' and I get guys writing to me.
