It is not about my personal preferences. I can always delete messages and decline friend requests. The questions was, what leads those men? Why 20 year old boys try to match with women twice older? Or what men in age of my father are looking for? They are probably raising their grand-children already. +/- 5 or 10 years is OK by me. But c'mon, I have 22 years old son and I'm really not interested seeing anybody of his age. You may as well ask, what leads a man of any age (18+) to approach a woman of any age (18+)? It's Human nature for a man to approach a woman on a dating site. If personal preferences regarding age are different then they don't match.

Yesterday, I spoke to a gentleman I've known for years... He told me he was 80 and for 3 years, had been with a woman for 3 years... but she found the age gap too much.. Which begs the comment.. it doesn't matter if you are in your 30's/40's/50's/60/s and up, perhaps its best to stick to near your own age... and maybe its ok for the short term, but not the long haul.. just an opinion..

Would like to hear your opinion about this... I'm 40 years old and keep getting a lot of friend requests from young boys in their 20's and from older men, almost the same age as my father. Do you consider it as a normal? What kind of interest could be to interact with people in so different age? OK, maybe as a friends we could do some chit-chat if I would be that kind of person who cares about it... so maybe I would understand friend request...but matching thing...just crazy. If they are going through the match part of the site, you see a photo and you get a Yes, Maybe or No. Some of these matches are blind to your profile info and only your photo. So they may just find you attractive... BTW, I would not think you are 40 based on your photo. My 2 cents

Even if you set up a filter for age, someone can still send a friends request or a nudge. you can always ignore it.

Just a thought.. I have lots of women younger women contact me.. Personally I find it flattering I have sons, 18 and 23 years old. I don't think that I would feel flattered if their friends would hit on me. It would be really bizarre. But that's just me.

I take it.

I do agree that your age is just a number but when guys twice your age start hitting on you it's a bit creepy

I find it creepy when young guys contact me. I find most young people are just out to use an older person for money or sex.

Age isn't the best indicator of compatibility
