Saw this Geico commercial; great idea for your Karaoke dating profile.

Let's hear your dating song parody.

I concur. I don't even find that kind of honesty brutal, it's just what he wants. We're entitled to our preferences. I have no interest in someone younger than me and make no apologies for it.

I have dated older women my entire life - Not on purpose, just because I did not use age as a qualifier.  My ex wife was 8 years older than me - the woman I lived with before here was 10 years older.  This time around, I decided I was going to date a woman younger than me.  

BTW - I just looked and my profile actually says Seeking women 30-42 - so I did allow for a couple years older than I.    You have to draw the line somewhere - and 61 is way over the line!  LOL  

Being post menopausal has many perks! 

 You look pretty damn good for 61 - I might make an exception!  

The thing I don't like about Match is that while they will only send you people within YOUR preferences, YOU will get sent to people NOT in your preferences.

For example, and for your amusement, I was matched with my Uncle recently - for serious. His criteria is women age 30-55 or some such. MY criteria is men ages 28-40. So while he did not fall in MY criteria, I fell in his, and Match sent him my profile.

Creepy, eh?

Not enough to make me email a 61 year old who likes snuggling by the fire and has no profile picture.  LMAO.  

Not sure why people are giving you a hard time with this.   There's nothing wrong with putting the numeric age range that includes your age (or a couple yrs older) and younger (well, let's not get illegally so...).  I'm assuming you're talking about the stats part of your match profile where you list other things like height, hair color, etc.   It's not like you have "that line" in your profile narrative where you describe what type of person you are and what type of person you are seeking and then say "I'm looking for a younger woman"....yeah, now that would prolly be a turnoff.   Men date younger women all the time....what's the bfd? 

Leegoocrap - 2012-04-10 11:37 AM just my opinion but "deciding" on things (like older/younger) is just a way to cut yourself off some good opportunities

Some of us aren't looking for opportunities, we're looking for our equal. Whether that equal is defined by sports, age, religion, income, temperament, emotional maturity, etc.,  it's up to us to decide what criteria is important. Your priorities are not my priorities. My priorities are not your priorities.

The outcome is that we winnow others out. We do that all the time. Why is this any different?

OP fail.

And you do care, or you wouldn't have commented.

Ok, I'm off to get spanked on a lunch date with my wife.

I don't get the whole "no profile picture" thing on a dating site....they are either still married, in a witness protection program, extremely shy (I guess that's a valid one...but good luck with that on the interwebs), or they are waaaaay too confident in their ability to write a profile narrative intriguing enough to get you to contact them sight unseen.

Yes - very creepy.  Also nice to know that I am not out of your demographic @ 40.    

Match.com doesn't "match" worth a sh*t.  I think they should change their name to mismatch.com and have a new slogan about opposites attracting.  

Yes - that's exactly what I am talking about.  And if I see a woman that I would normally be interested in - but her "stats" say she is seeking a male 30-35, I don't email her...I am out of her desired demographic.  

Maybe those giving me a hard time don't understand the match profile.   

Sweet!  We could do our run and Finish @ a Denny's for our first date!  

Tick, tick, tick...
