Sounds like you dodged a bullet there Alisha973.

looks like you got some good answers.

If you had trouble reading between the lines, your title was wrong. Lying is not best.

If you want to be remembered for lies, then hmmm...

My dog ate your number and I wont be able to see you anymore.

Ive just been transferred to the office in Pakistan. If you see me around its because I have a twin, so dont say 'hi'.

Ive decided to join the preisthood.

Ill be in touch if I can think of more for you.

I am mildly amused by all of your opinions. May as well give a few of my own

There are 16 years between my mother and father.

My Mum was 23, and my Dad was 39 when they met.

My Mum married him for the money. My Dad, well, he was just desperate, and stupid.

They hate each others guts. They argue and fight all the time. My Mums the modern Girl, and he's the old anchor (anchor head).

My mum sleeps with other people, because my father makes her skin crawl. My father has moved out the house back to his mothers, because he can't stand her, me, or my brother.

He comes home for dinner and then leaves. My mum cries every night, untill midnight, due to her extreme lonleyness.

The age gap between them, has destroyed the family.

I pity them both. That is all.

You are beautiful!

well wat abt some 1 younger

If I may interject,

It is a sick game out there. In nature (THE REAL WORLD) most female animals especially the young ones seek out older males becasue they are "proven on the battlefield," and will pass on survivable characteristics (genetics).

Likewise I have seen a lot of women who say "I am not into older guys," suddenly under the arm of a guy who looks older than me. Why? Well, money is my usual guess.

Also I know a lot of younger women in my past who intentionally wanted an older sugar daddy and one classic example of this is Hugh Heffner. How old was his latest failed relationship partner? He is damn near fossilized. She was in that relationship to open doors for her career! Nothing MORE!

Now I have seen a lot of unconventional relationships that work. I know of marriages where she is older by more than 10 years and they are happy as it gets together. Good for the goose? Good for the gander.

Likewise I have had GFs younger and older than me. The most fun I have had was with much younger women. Likewise I have no kids of my own yet and don't want to add to someone's collection of kids from other relationships. I would rather have kids by a woman who has not had them yet. It has a LOT to do with sins of past relationships and kids just compound the mess. personally I would prefer to be involved with someone under 30 and I am 45. But one thing, I sure don't LOOK like I am 45 and this opinion is from a lot of other people. I only have a touch of Gray going on. So why should I settle for anything less than what I want too?

Having older guys hitting on you means you are hot or at least distinct among others. Then again old dogs will still sniff up under any raised tail (dog school!). Still, you should not take it hard if older guys are hitting you up. All you have to do is say no!

Like I heard it said, Hate the game, Don't Hate the Player!

I lost a friend of mine and he was 42, (and I mean he said "OW. I HAVE A BAD HEADACHE!" Fell to the floor and he DIED!) If anything I learned something from his passing in that life is too short for the bullshitte we are taught. You could run across an older guy who gets you very humid south of your equator. Then again one day you might wind up being the Cougar we all hear about on these threads. Just find what makes you happy and stick to it and try to be polite until they don't take no for an answer. Besides, what is wrong with making friends that are older than yourself? Just becasue a guy hits you up don't mean you got to be like ice towards them unless they are rabid perverts!

Trust me, you don't want to live a miserable life just becasue of fake morality. If older guys don't float your boat I say to you becasue you know what you don't want!

I want to find someone who I can float her boat and likewise she floats mine! Till then life sucks. We can't always get what we want but it sure helps to know WHAT you want in the first place!

So party on and continue playing the game!

You are trying to make her open minded, to something that she finds disgusting.

You are fighting a losing battle.

I hate Peas, I find them revolting and toxic.

No matter how much you try to convince me, that they are good and tasty. I would still find them revolting and toxic. You just wouldn't change my mind.

This young lady does not like older dudes. They will never be great to her, no matter what you say. Her boundary is 36. At least respect that.

Also when a Lady says an older dude is creepy. Don't take it so personally. She's just saying that she doesn't like, and is not comfortable, with dudes that are so much older then her, coming onto her.

I'm sure you are a nice guy. But you won't be changing this young Ladys mind. She knows what she likes, just as you know what you like.

You're just going to have to shake hands, and leave it.

Peace out dude!

You know, MrB, you're probably right. My excuse-Usually I only open my mouth to change feet. Every time I post on here I worry that my good intentions will be misinterpreted by folks who don't really know my heart and intent-how could they? Maybe she just posted that for young men to read and react to, but I guess I thought she threw that out here to see what others thought of her situation as well as whether there was something different she could do (i.e. the suggestion to change her settings). If not, sorry, Alicia !

I was a little offended that she used the term "creep." As I said in my first post, I send a message to anyone I think looks interesting. I cannot know if she'd be interested in me until after I've asked her. I assume if they really didn't want to hear from me they'd have filtered their mail.

But, why discriminate? Why not keep an open mind and see what he has to say? If he's fun, interesting, smart and good looking why would you not want to get to know him? That goes for the younger ones too.

Whereas I for some reason, feel the sudden sting of despair. Just kidding-I'm all right. TXScoundrel---how long did it take you to come up with that tome you call a list? OMG.

Alisha--good luck. Just a thought for you here, not trying to change your mind, but in some ways age is just a number. When I was 23, I went out with a guy that was about 43. It was one of the best relationships I've ever had. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship, and this guy was really happy to have me in his life and treated me great. He'd lived enough that he wasn't in it for games and appreciated a good woman. Like i said, just a thought....
