"Many of us ladies have reasons for not wanting to meet younger people one being we have children of that age or older.. " You beat us too it. Considering men the same age as our kids would just feel wrong. | |||

"Many of us ladies have reasons for not wanting to meet younger people one being we have children of that age or older.. " That's fine, I understand that. Perhaps this post is more directed at the women who don't have "kids" in their mid twenties and may have a higher age preference due to thinking young men are time wasters or not genuine etc. etc. etc. | |||

"Everyone has their preferences OP, whether that be about age, body shape, sexuality etc - so what would be the point in changing those preferences for a day, or even a few hours just to get messages from outside of their preferred age range? Especially as the ones you can't message are those that set the age preference to "only" - so are fairly rigid about that preference I would imagine. Am sure if someone saw a profile that was just outside of their age range, hut met all their other requirements,that they are capable of deciding to message it themselves if they want to. " Perfectly good reasoning but you missed my point about there being people out there who have raised age preference for reasons such as non-genuine young males etc. Also fair point on them being able to message a person a year or two younger if they so choose but they may never know of that persons existence even though it could be a perfect match, which brought me to my question of even doing it once a month for an hour or two. ![]() | |||

"I've occasionally taken my filters off, e.g. for a forum game, and the increase in silly and/or offensive messages I've had a result - from the age group(s) I usually avoid - has been quite marked, and more so than I'd expected it to be. Not everyone of course, but enough to be noticeable and really, I just don't want to expose myself to even more shite above and beyond the 'usual'. I now therefore feel rather reluctant to adjust my filters .... and would only consider doing so if I wasn't getting what I wanted from Fab with them on. I definitely wouldn't take them off to do someone a 'favour' - I'm not running a charity! ![]() Typical case of some men ruining it for the rest! ![]() | |||

We all have to realise when to give up, when the desire just isn't mutual and you're wasting your time. It's something I've experienced a lot on here... | |||

Perhaps, as someone else suggested, you would be better off worrying about those that you can contact, and just accept the preferences of those that you can't? | |||

"Was wondering what the consensus would be on a thought I had. There are a lot of young males out here in the world of fab. I'm sure I speak for many of us here when I say it's such a sickener when you see a woman that jumps out at you and you read her profile and it sounds like you'd get on like a house on fire only to see your a year or two or sometimes more below their age preference and no contact can be made. Would it be a good idea if once a week or fuck it even once a month, the ladies lowered their age preference to see what happens?. Might be a lot of silly messages but there might be a few young men here that could be what you're after and you just never knew about it? Perhaps a post I'm the forum asking who's "in" or whatever. Would love to hear your thoughts! ![]() OK NO I have age preferences for a reason and when i have talked to someone who maybe was higher or lower my age limit i was proved right. some younger men arent mature and use text speak on messages or assume its a instant sex site and some older men think you want an affair or naughty fun or i just dont connect with them so thanks but im happy with working my profile how i see fit and what works for me! | |||

Nobody's angry but most of us have considered our age filters and have them set from experience of those out with them. Many argue that you don't bask for ages in clubs which is true or that people lie which is also true but you can only do so much. Thinking about your idea though it might appeal to some who hadn't considered it before, maybe you'll start a trend ![]() | |||

"I don't actually see the point, so they change their filters on here, you message, they tell yo to bog off because they won't have changed their preferences, just the message filter on here. It'd be like us unblocking single guys to get the one nice message in a hundred, to do what with it? We still are not meeting single guys... S" Haha, extremely valid point there! Though again some people may have over 27 because they had a bad experience with a 25 year old and not because they don't like that age bug because they might associate that age group with that one bad experience. | |||

Just as lowering one's age limit might generate hundreds of bad messages but just one good one, posting on a forum will generate lots of responses that differ in their opinions to yours and possibly one or two that agree. | |||

"Would you like to be receiving messages from 56 year olds or 60 year olds? Probably not because they are not your preference and you wouldn't want to waste their time?

"I lowered my age range not that long ago, the messages I got were mostly appalling so I put them up again. From that experience I can say that a lot of the younger guys are more into a quick shag or they want to shag an older woman, both things I don't find appealing." I understand that, I did sag I reckoned that there would be many who have upped the age because of appalling or time wasting messages from younger men, I know what we can be like. I can assure you I'm after more than a quick shag and not just after an older woman, I said in the OP that its a sickener when there's a woman who you feel you'd get on very well with only to see youre outside the preffered age. Again it was only a thought and the majority have had their say. ![]() | |||

"I have restrictions in place because ultimately the younger men on here seem to expect sex just because they have seen my profile, they lack respect and experience (not just in the bedroom). They seem to think that women owe them something just because they are young and have nice bodies... They have a total disregard for the needs and wants of a lady most of the time and are too selfish. Men who are older have learn't a lot of lessons and seem to know how to treat a lady. " Hmmmm.

I appreciate there maybe some that aren't, but I've not got the time or inclination to sift through the dozens I was getting to find out " That's more than fair.

"We have our filters set at quite a few yearsabove and below the age range we are ideally looking for for that very reason that someone special may stand out to us.

"OP if a woman sees you on the forum and likes your profile, what you post, the way you come across, she’d probably message you anyway and override her filters. I have a number off female friends on here who have done that, despite me being outside their age range. If they like they will come. In the meantime don’t worry about those you can’t message because of filters, just get on with presenting yourself the way you sit to be perceived at every opportunity."
