Just had a birthday a few days ago.

Found a lovely profile, with plenty in common - great I'll just drop a message.

Blocked due to age restrictions - FOUR DAYS!

#@#!!

Not a good Fab day.

So just off to shrivel up in my decrepitude.

Feeling a bit dramatic - nice profile BTW - couldn't message you either - ah the cruel blows of ageing disgracefully.

It happens to me too, as a younger person. I visit people’s profiles and find out I don’t meet their requirements.

You’re only as old as you feel and I’ve met people older than myself who are much younger at heart.

We seem to find we are too old for the younger profiles and too young for the older ones.

Having turned 40 this very year, I feel your pain! Nothing makes you feel old quite like being screened out as "too old"

Still plenty of action to be found in the pension line and bingo on a Wednesday night. We're not beaten yet!

Don't worry bro. Your birthday took you out of someone's age range, but also put you into someone else's age range. Look on the bright side!

It is strange this age restriction business if you think about it, as it wouldn’t really apply in real life would it? If we all mingled in person at one big party, for example, how many of us would refuse to even engage in a chat with someone before establishing their age?? Can you imagine... “hang on, before you even introduce yourself, how old are you? Yeah sorry I can’t proceed any further...”

I’m not criticising those who have restrictions on here because I do too - but I’m beginning to realise how daft it is ...

But you (not you you!) wouldn't necessarily want to fuck someone who is of a certain age. It is restrictive but it also helps people filter out and find those who are most likely to tickle their fancy. It does apply in real life, perhaps not in clubs because people seem to be a bit more relaxed about who they meet but it does day to day. People you would enjoy talking to at a party aren't necessarily the ones you'd want to fuck.

I agree you might not want to fuck someone of a certain age but for me personally, the fact I didn’t fancy them and didn’t want to fuck them would be established by interacting with them in the first instance, not by first finding out their age, if that makes sense. Say I got chatting to man and fancied the arse off him, I wouldn’t care if he was 40 or 50 - if I fancied him then all good. But on Fab we do it the opposite way around - screen out by age first.

By party I meant a swingers party/ social event - sorry didn’t make that clear. At a social event I’d talk to anyone so long as they were polite! I wouldn’t necessarily fancy and fuck them though. So it was the interaction part I was meaning - by having age restrictions on here we rule out even interacting. But - that might have to do with reducing volume of messages, I get that.

It’s a tricky one....

Yes, I understand what you're trying to get across. I do agree with you, I deliberately have quite a large age range to try and avoid doing that. I find age isn't a hard restriction for me. I think all filtering is to help make the site easier to navigate - tools people use that suits them best. I think also - some people don't want to interact with people. Well not in a chat way. They want to fuck and fuck they do and quickly with people who meet their needs.

I dont want to fuck guys my age. In my experience they usually out of shape and suffer from erectile dysfunction issues.

I prefer guys age 25 to 35 so I filter accordingly. Its just personal preference.

You're a very good example of the flaw in the system. My upper limit is 50 (I think?) as a general cut-off. But I've seen you via a face pic Friday or something, and you are absolutely gorgeous and I most certainly would never filter you out as arbitrarily "too old".

Yep - hitting 51 crossed a lot of profiles off the “matching preferences” lists!
