OK, so I have seen literally (and figuratively) hundreds of posts in these forums where someone makes mention of the fact that they are constantly being contacted by much younger people here.

I find this puzzling, because -- as always seems to be the case with the sheer egregious perversity of the internet -- this never ever ever happens to me.

I get a lot of profile views, but a large percentage of these are inevitably from people who are old enough to be my grandmother's older neighbor. I never actually hear from them. Most likely, they died while attempting to read my profile.

The ones who do message me are slightly younger than the previous group, but still old enough to remember when there were only 36 states.

I do get a disproportionate number of e-mails from 22-year-olds, but these are always scammers. Those don't count.

So, what I'm wondering is this -- how does one go about being contacted by someone so "much younger" here? I'd really like to know....!

Perhaps you can experience this on your own just by changing your sex I guess,coz this happens usually with ladies & not GENTLEMEN

I've seen guys make the claim, too, though. Not trying to be sexist here, I just want to hear from somebody younger!

Hmmmmm.
I get a chitload.
I am thinking a probable cause is the lack
of age restriction, which some take as an
invitation to noogle.
It is, in actuality, so that any forum member
can make contact.
You already have the yellow 'aura' this is
a draw. It makes us look desperate :-)
In conclusion, I think if you pared your
profile down to a single sentence, you would
get a lot more teeny boppers.

I really don't ever want to have any restrictions on who can contact me, mainly because I think it's a good idea that anyone can contact me if there's a mod issue or something going on.

But maybe I will try the standard "I don't know what to write here" profile and see if that helps.

I have no idea why you’re not getting any mail from the 30s age group. You’re a good catch.

Really,I gotta know yellow aura's specialty just now

Because I would be interested in meeting somebody younger.

I get plenty of mail from the 30s age group. That's not what I'm talking about!

NOW this is turning to be a FUNtastic thread for me

Lex you crack me up!

For maximum return you might type
that like this:

"I dun now wut to right here."

I see great things for your inbox.

I know a woman who took 4 years to read the whole thing. A lot of stuff can happen in 4 years.

But that's the kind of e-mail I'm getting NOW. If I dumb it down on MY end, think of the consequences.

True!

As for a comment on the topic.....I find I only attract under 20 and 50 plus now....I would really like someone in my age range LOL

By younger you mean 20s?

Well, technically, by younger I mean "without kids," which is confusing because "without kids" is not really a number.

But in my extensive studies of this issue, I have found that there is a sort of cutoff point, an age by which it seems every woman on every dating site already has kids (usually at least three of them, followed by the mandatory "AND THEY ARE MY WORLD," followed by all the terrible things she hopes will happen to you if you're not into her and her kids as the inevitable "package deal").

Unfortunately, that age seems to be about 16, which is not very helpful for most of us.

Alternatively, I can still hang onto the slim hope that there could be someone out there, of legal age, who has not yet had kids, for whatever reason (she's a nun, the lower half of her body was eaten by a shark, she was abducted by aliens and sterilized, etc.), but I think this is will only be possible to find in a younger person.

Maybe you need to be more tactful than to be so frank then...

As Lex mentioned in there about how so many people are saying they are getting emails from younger ones , you shall also try to attract more people by telling how attractive you are for younger people too!!

Yeah, that's really my whole point here -- if this is happening to all these people, I want to know how they're doing it. Obviously I'm doing something wrong because I'm only being contacted by the ones who are the opposite of what I'm looking for!
