Because you are not one.
Talking to younger women don't make you a sugar daddy

Because they can?

talking to them? no

Yeah yeah I know, they are not the best of conversationalists , but but they know the best dance clubs....and I luv the dancing.....just saying...so that makes me an ole dancer huh!!!

The funny thing is that you often catch these same women falling lol. After they remember just how tired they are of the games. I like my age. Im grateful I look younger but age is all in the mind anyway. - Im hoping to meet somebody here that contributes to my peace of mind. Somebody who can laugh at life and themselves. A friend. Its nice to reach an age that is not yet old where you can enjoy something void of the drama you will find with a younger partner. Like my x who was 27 lol.

Most of the men that contact me are anywhere from 10 - 20 years younger than myself. Men my own age rarely, if ever, message me. I guess they are too busy going after younger women.

Then it is time to let the young ones in

It really isn't that women 50 go "after" young men. It's because men our age are chasing 20 year olds and the young men are chasing 50 year-olds lol. Eventually older women give in and say " what the hey...may as well join them if I can't beat them"
Such is this messed up life of dating

We don't! I want someone my age. There seems to be more commonality.

Hey ! I chase older womem....and they say I am too young for them.....I am losing out a lot here...my age play hard to get....I have no clue why.....gotta read up some more....just saying...

True

I am open to meeting any decent 40 to 70 year old guy, He should be financially secure and able to buy me a coffee or drink upon our first meeting, I will buy the next one. it would be great if he likes to travel as I spend most winters at my vacation home in the Caribbean. I want a real grown up, kind, sweet, caring, thoughtful, romantic, selfless, funny guy that can make me laugh until I pee my pants. Am I asking for too much? This girl can still dream.
Please No boys need respond

I am 50 years old and specifically looking to date a man my age. I love men in my age range, they are fantastic. But the messages I receive are from 23 year olds or 70 year olds. Men my age are scammers from the USA. Will be leaving the site soon if no man from Melbourne near my age is interested or real. Oh yes I have contacted some men and get no reply or they ask you for coffee then you never hear back. Does not bother me as I am patient and not desperate.

hard to have a coffee , diner,movie when everyone is so far away. The locals sometime place a critera that one will not respond if he cannot meet all of the items listed. EG don't bother if your not the jolly green giant. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall but not green. get it

I've never went after younger men. Since being on this site that's mainly all I've encountered. A military man of 47 persisted so I answered back and forth. In 3 days he fell in love, proposed and asked for money. Scammers are all I seem to attract.

There are some things those of us 5- plus - Im 58 - should realize, men or women.

I do gladly talk to younger women if they seem real (more on that in a second) I put preference as 25-60 (And don't rule out over 60).

I'm not looking for a "hookup" but also every encounter I have with a woman needs to be a long term relationship. I'd be happy if it DOES become that, but also happy to just spend some quality time with a woman who appreciates good company.

All of us - men and women - our age come with baggage. Let's be honest. We're likely divorced (At least once) and there were issues that did not make our marriages successful. Of course, we blame it on the other, but if we are honest, it was likely closer to 50-50 our fault (every case is certainly different).

So it's not surprising that when we get a whiff of similar issues we had in our relationships, we shy away.

I love conversations with young women who are optimistic. I also have to be REALISTIC - I could be their fathers, and if they start a conversation with "how handsome"I am and do I want to get to know them better, they are likely a scam (if only down the road). Unless we have talked for a while and had a genuine conversation and then that's different.

I have date my age and dated much younger - recently a lady in her late 20s. She reminded me a lot of me at her age. Our initial connection was definitely intellectual.

I went it to it knowing it would end, and knowing that she would likely spend more of her time with someone younger. That's the deal you strike. Its not a movie and we arent going to ride off into the sunset today.

IF we all look at our own failings and realize the folks "who don't get it" have those too, we might give them more of a chance than generalizing.

Just my (at this point) more than two cents

Well, in my case, that is not true. And I do not like them wasting my time. I am finished raising the younger generation. I rent a room to a male that is 6 yrs younger and he is a big headache

I get little interest on this website. I don't know what the problem is because I think I'm a decent-looking guy and in great shape

Because they are not smart enough to appreciate a mature man.

So I take it you have added him as a friend? If he does hang with you long enough, he may come to understand the ways and wills of women..lol..
