If a woman put an age preference on her profile for whats she's ideally looking for, then why do men below or above her age preference messages her ?

It's a sure sign they didn't bother to take the time to read your profile. Happens a lot. I call them out all the time.


You can set limits to who can contact you.

maybe to see if she is sticking to those preferences?

or maybe just testing the water perhaps?

or... maybe they are hunky good looking gigalo types who think women will drop everything for them??

Its actually getting quite annoying Lol

Most don't read
or care what it says

Oh really ? how do i do that ?

it's because testosterone makes men think they can change your mind

1- They don't read profiles
2- If you post on forums you attract more people.
3- You made a sex thread or a sexualized post.
4- They think they can change your mind.
5- You forgot to set your filters

Hi
How r u

it does not say what age guy you are looking for.

Your preferences will never outweigh a mans attraction response.
The only thing controlling what he does in reaction to it is based on what he believes are the negative consequences of his actions and potential success of his actions.

Because "just do it."
Because "nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Because "you won't know if you don't try."
Because emails are cheap and they lose absolutely nothing by sending one.

Because ownership of the internet is in the eye of the user.
From their perspective you're on their computer or phone screen. They're not on yours.

I can understand it being annoying if you have stated in your profile that you have a particular age group in mind,but i just read yours and it says nothing at all about age.
If you tell a waiter you don't mind and he brings you steak,would you then get annoyed and tell him you are vegetarian ?
Simplify and do as the ladies have said,set your age filters and enjoy yourself

The male ego. It's stupid how they can get butthurt that a woman may want a man older, younger, whatever. And they haven't even met the woman. You can't change someone's preferences. The women are likely to ignore what they don't want. I prefer purple to red. No need to be all hurt about it. .

An economist would say its the Supply and Demand phenomenon playing out, an anthropologist would say its the inherited psychology of males showing up and a psychologist would blame it on male ego or a physiologist would say its the constant male urge to spread their seeds.

This is a very interesting subject. Thank you.

Please forgive me for saying, but there have been some generalisations made here. As a male, I see little point in sending out messages to all and sundry, in the hope of getting a reply, when the lady is quite specific about what she is looking for. Hence, I always read the profile first, so see that I may fall into the right categories. It also occurs to me that the reverse is true, also. If I receive a message (as often happens) from a 23 year old saying she is interested in me, it is, in my opinion, likely to be a spam/scam. At 57 yrs old, I think I'd be pretty lucky, nay heaven bound, if it turned out to be that she really was looking for an 'old fart' So to sum up, I always, always read the profile first before I answer a message, or just press the 'block' button.

Exactly what she said LOL. Their ego will get in the way and they'll think that they can change your mind and be the exception to the rule. Either that or they just didn't read lol.

Hi

They think they're the exception to that. Why do they think someone half their age would be interested in them? Money isn't anything unless you're Hef :) Again, that would be pretty gross too :(

shake the tree.. see what falls out of it I guess..lol
