I've been approached by much older men since my early 20's and it's just plain gross. Ick, ick, ick!!

BTW... I also just want to mention that you and I are not the only ones who have experienced this. It seems to be a pretty widespread problem, unfortunately.

For example.... I have a friend who is 50 and is trying the online dating thing. She has received numerous responses from guys in their 60's, 70's, and even a few in their 80's (holy sheep!) even though her profile specifically states that she is only looking at guys no older than age 55!

She doesn't respond to any of these inquiries from the older guys, but just laughs at their emails and their dating profiles and puts them on "Ignore".

And I can't say I blame her, as I would do the exact same thing, lol.

So as I mentioned earlier.. it's just my opinion, but older men should quit thinking they have a chance with women much younger than themselves.

Such relationships very rarely work. The only time I have seen them work is if the older guy has a lot of money. Then it becomes a win-win situation with benefits to both parties in the relationship.

Uhmmm....From what I could tell, she wasn't exactly defending your opinions. Sounded more to me like she was attempting to maintain some peace here.
Your opinions were very clear..as well as even more so offensive and hurtful.

There is a tactic called diplomacy...although it certainly was not applied much in your post.
Perhaps, try to not make your opinion so blatantly offensive to others and chances are other members won't feel a need TO play referee, (let alone for others to respond defensively)..Just a thought..
