The only thing I can say for you is that I love older women cause there more mature than the younger ones but I have no clue what the older men think.

It all depends on the emails you send out, I tried to privately email you although your settings are for emails from 40ish and older folks. SO with that said, are your emails attrusive? Are they in a way plees for attention? And yes to answer your ? about replies, some men are guarded for people can take on different personnas on the web and they might think your someone other than who you are. Just my opinion.

I say keep e-mailing. I'm surprised no one has e-mailed you. You look pretty to me. Maybe post more on the forums and you'll get e-mails. Best of luck!

Hi there. I just checked out your profile and it says you are separated.... however your parameters are awfully limited. It seems a bit odd you don't want a married man when you yourself are married. As well I'd throw in a few more photos. Your narrative itself is great. Seriously think about removing all your qualifications prohibiting people from sending you mail.

If you don't hear back then you will never know the answers. This is quite the "atypical" dating site.. more an online friend social network.

Just get a marker and put a big ol X over his picture and move on.

I have noticed that I have sent out e-mails with no response in my age group or older. I think that some people on here just aren't serious. I would suggest going to a different site or on that you have to pay for b/c ppl tend to be more serious if they have to pay to be a member.

best of luck happy

i might look a little younger than 52, but my oldest is 31. i would feel silly with anyone under say 47. then on the other end of it, the men over 60ish to me look to old. i am trying to take light of this sight,but truthfully,i'm tired of coming home night after night to my cat. i know that i am only seperated .it's been over a year but why would i consider a married man. i would'nt come between anyones marraige. and am i suppose to wait to be divorced before i can enjoy my life with someone? the older you get there are many reasons not to divorce right away...insurance ,property. i don't plan on remarrying in the near future, so. thank you so much for the feed back

wow...a real & relelant question...Of course I can only speak for myself but to be perfectly honest & frank...yes...I am sometimes a little turned off by some of the ladies that I date that are my age.I've sometimes had the impression that they are just too set in their ways and sometimes maybe just a little to into testing everything about me. I feel I AM guarded sometimes...I've even felt that I'm being prodded to see how I'll react...not really fair,when you consider that I'm not asking for much...just friendship & acceptance...AS FRIENDS !

I personally don't want the frosting without the cake so friendship is the best I can hope for since one doesn't, as a gentleman, dare to really imagine a life together, or steady dating even, without the foundation being firmly in place to go that next step.
It takes a whole lot of energy to nurture a budding relationship, where as friends, in that natural way, just have interest and concern, but no hurt feelings ...as such...
I'll be watching this thread closely because maybe I can learn something here...Bravo for asking a real & pertinant question and best of luck to ya :smile:

Darn, I'm too young....you are too "married"...whatever your excuse...i mean "reason" is...if you agreed on the division of property...etc..It can be done in 30 days in this State....:smile:

All that aside, no response to emails is "rude" and demonstrates a lack of character......

so allen, you truly believe that you would have the same interests and life experinces with a 35 year old woman? i love my children and get along with there friends wonderfully. they call me the cool mom, but it stops there.

my personal experience is that younger woman are more open minded and less apt to have a "my way or the highway" attitude...But believe me, I would date people my age if they'd just ease up some on the control pedal a little...

allen,but unless you gave them the time of day, how could you come to that conclusion...say you viewed me.i would email you directly,because i am hugh on respect,and say something light like,"i caught you peeking, stop by and say hi" now, i feel that if you are shy, i've opened the door a little. maybe my thinking is all wrong,so thats why i'm asking...
