"I am kind of skeptical since I am not seeking out younger women in my profile."

Oh yes, 18 year old women have a **** ton in common with a 45 year old man who is suddenly warming up to the idea of a family. And heavens to betsy you offend these 18 year old GIRLS who are young enough to be your daughter...

Come on. If you prefer a woman your age, that's 40-50.

Again, I altered my parameters here to reflect the "responses" I received in "true.com". This was only after receiving hits from younger women on that web site. Women 18 years of age are not my first choice. But, I would certainly talk to them.

I altered my profile here to reflect the "responses" in "true.com". In reality, I would desire a woman more my age, 35-49. But, I do not want to categorically exlude a group of women who wish to speak to me.

Diligent,

As far as I can tell, the site you mentioned is all or mostly BS. I started to fill out a profile but my machine crashed halfway through and I never finished. Despite the empty profile, I was immediately inundated with "replies" from "single women" raving about my profile!

It's a shame you can't ask a simple question in a forum like this without being psychoanalyzed. Is there some sort of taboo I should know about that says we can only associate with people of a certain age? Whatever happened to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"?

Anytime a member asks for feedback on their profile, they open themselves up for opinions.

His profile is conflicting. He asked about one issue but contradicted himself in his profile and then wondered “What went wrong”.

No psychoanalyzed him or banished him from socializing with anyone with whom he wishes. He burned his hand on the stove and asked why it happened. We pointed out the obvious.

I am on this site to meet "women". By my definition and the legal definition, a woman who is 18 or older is of legal age. I am not going through a "middle age crisis". But, "younger women" generally are more beautiful, less jaded, and more submissive than older women with failed marriages, emotional baggage, and droves of "daddy's babies".

Now, nothing is etched in stone. You can have age parameters or other qualifying factors including or eliminating groups of people. But, in my experience, it is silly to prevent individuals from even speaking to you because they are 1 year too old or too young, or live 10 miles outside of your area. What is important are mutual attractions, similar interests, common values, and common goals.

Now, what these garrulous females have overlooked by my seminal question are these issues; (1) My question was directed to YOUNG WOMEN, ages 18-22. I am asking them a rhetorical question; If they would date me, or someone my age with similar looks, etc., and (2), I openly questioned the validity of the e-mail messages I received on "true.com" from these hordes of younger women. I question them because I did not solicit them on my "true.com" profile. With the proper feedback from YOUNGER WOMEN on this blog, I can readily determine if those e-mails are legitimate.

But, "younger women" generally are more beautiful, less jaded, and more submissive than older women with failed marriages, emotional baggage, and droves of "daddy's babies".
