Also, you are 54. When you say "older men" are you talking about 70 year olds or are you just talking about men your own age as opposed to 20 year old boys? If they are your age, they are not "older men", they are men your age.

Yes, I "single out" older men because I'm talking about ME. I said I HAVE trouble with older men. And by "older" I mean 20 or 30 years, like in their 70's at least. And USUALLY older men are more polite than younger me (my age or younger). I've had this problem since I was a teenager. It's gotten worse as I have gotten older. Young guys can be polite and old guys can be creepy. I've experienced both but it's usually OLDER MEN THAT CREEP ME OUT.

I agree with another member who said older men generally have more manners or behave better. They are from another generation.

I don't find it a compliment. It's creepy. When I joined Match in 2007, I got messages from men in their 70's and older. I was 45 back then. Gross.....

I just found a guy who's a friend said he might have liked seeing the women who were dressed like *****s at the "work source" center. I told him I don't think they help with that type of work, and why were they dressed like that.

I know men are "hard-wired" this way, but it still makes me sick. Sure, I notice good looking guys but I don't STARE blantantly like so many men do. Be subtle for crying outloud! If I poked their eyes out, they'd never stare at anything or anyone again.

I bet Neandethals (literally) had better manners. I'm old enough to be the mother (or grandmother!!) of younger guys, ones say 30 or so, and under. So staring from younger guys would be creepy too but I just don't have that problem. If they are subtle, that's good. Staring AND the age is the problem.

I'm stopping now since I had breakfast not long ago and I don't want to lose it.
