The Age Game

The Age Game


Being honest about your age here and on social media is important because different people seek different experiences here on FriendFinder-x. Some women seek out younger men for their virility and enthusiasm. Others find older men attractive because they have more years of experience and are often skilled lovers. Being truthful about who you are allows others to see and appreciate your unique attributes. I tend to steer clear of partners under thirty in general because they typically lack experience with women and can demonstrate behavior that leads to instability and drama. There are always exceptions of course. I try to be as open as possible and take things on a case by case basis. My experience has been that men that are older are more financially established and are more likely to be well mannered, treat women respectfully and be able to provide a space for hosting. Some younger men have this too but sometimes lack experience with a woman’s body and arent always the most respectful. My experience in these areas is of course limited and for many it might be the opposite: everyone’s experience is different from mine. Drinks or dinner out with someone of the opposite sex my age are older have benefited me through shared cultural experiences, their sense of humor, shared interests, the stories they tell and years of experience. Dates with younger guys have been fun for me but less meaningful. If you have not had luck finding the experiences that you seek within the age groups you typically search in you might consider broadening your search criteria. Something positive can be gleaned from every meeting. Older women are often more appreciative more stable and skilled partners. We can learn something from everyone we come across in our life if we choose to. It might surprise you what you gain from meetings with people who fall outside your typical age range, looks range or general socio economic level. Variety is the spice of life here as elsewhere so it benefits everyone to be as open minded as possible and step outside of your comfort zone at least just a little. Who knows if you try it you just might end up with a brand new type!

Being honest about your age here and on social media is . . . one of the dumbest things a person can do online. Dating sites are great targets for data theft as they have all of the personal data needed to mess up peoples credit.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

That goes for most social media which is traced back to a unique number assigned by your internet service provider. Internet technology is pervasive and fundamental to getting connected, staying connected and enjoying the benefits of modern living. Of course it isn’t perfect and it is best to take reasonable precautions. However representing yourself honestly and accurately is necessary to develop and maintain healthy and trusting relationships. Very little of what people post in terms of demographics is news to any data mining company. There are already too many ways to collect this information. Essentially if you are at all present on the internet or social media in general your concerns are essentially a moot point.

It is the biggest and most often played one.Not one's own but
rather keeping the age of what one's looking for a big secret.

It's not so much being truthful about one's own age. But rather What age they're
looking for helps.It's the first and only thing I look for on profiles

Using more than all the road!

The subject of things like age seems to not always be a more simple subject. I agree with redrockrascal, in that maybe you shouldn't put your exact date of birth on your profile - that is the more private kind of information. But maybe the date you do list should be something close. Some people will look at birth signs, so maybe the date you do list should also be within your birth sign.

So I hear - there is a concept that might apply here - you want to attract someone to you - that is attracted to you/likes/loves YOU (As the case may be) - for just exactly whom YOU are.

The above is a big sentence. Think about that. Maybe a little less work, and a little more JOY - for doing nothing more than just being YOU?? That might sound good, huh?. But it seems finding that complementary person may not always be so easy. But it may never happen - especially if you do a good job of hiding the real you...

Lying about things, including your true age, withholding things, etc - may only backfire on you. It may only serve to attract someone to you - that may not be so attracted - to the real you. And in the end, this may not help you. And some people may have strict rules about something like the age of their partner.

There are so many game players (And worse) on here though. Whom would think nothing of lies and deception - as long as they could gain what they wish. And they may care nothing about tomorrow, nor what happens after. Sadly, to list right on your profile, too much about your ideal person of interest - may only serve to tell some people just exactly what to say to you. And that may go as far as to become dangerous. Deny such people a persona to assume...

"What are you looking for?" can be a common question on here. Maybe sometimes, the better response might be something like "My car keys..."

A very thoughtful post and some insightful observations.
I used to have a very narrow concept of who and what I was looking for here on FriendFinder-x and in life in general. After some happy accidents I learned to broaden my horizons especially with older men. I learned a lot from spending time in their company.
Even retirees who were once strictly off limits I have found have much to offer especially in being able to appreciate qualities in people and experiences that young folks often gloss over, having a richness of personal life experiences and can offer the benefit of flexibility and more time.

For me I tend to like women my age or older. I have gone out on dates with younger women and I find them to be to needy. The younger women lack what the older women know how to treat a guy sexually


Devlynne replies on 7/16/2019 6:36 am:
I have learned the same with younger men who can be disrespectful and flighty.
Older men are just more settled in life and seem to appreciate the small things more.

I have have worked too long and too hard to get to where I am in life. I am proud of my age because I earned everyone of my years.

You make good points. Thanks for posting. Many could learn from your post.
