Another forum member made a comment a few days ago and its had me thinking ever since really..
the comment was along the lines of 'id fuck someone in a club because i found them attractive, id never ask their age, so why do i have to display my age on here'
I have set mine (i think) to roughly 30-45 but i could be excluding some incredible people.
If i were to be headless id imagine people would look at my body and see me as a 50/60 yr old woman.. on the other side i have seen some ladies and gents with phenomenal physiques that would rival people in their 20's.
So my question is.. If you were just being 'judged' on your body,, would you think people would age you younger or older??

There is a attractive 70 year old women on here.
And why not, she likes to meet people for sex, full of life so enjoy yourself.
I know for most hitting 50 on here gets you blocked or dismissed but I look at the person and how we get on first. |

I'm really not sure, I guess around my actual age...not too bad, but gravity is certainly starting to take hold 
I do find people of very varied ages attractive physically, but I have my filters set to around my age because I feel like they are the people that I would have the most in common with...I'm not looking for "just sex", so that's an important factor for me |

On my body from a distance and certain angles.... about 12!
Once ya see there is a bit of boob there, loads of cellulite and a tummy flap from my c-section then probably about the same as my real age. |

I'm told my body doesn't match my age and I feel it's in pretty good shape.
I indicate an age range, to give an idea of comparable sorts but I don't filter by age because there are always exceptions to the rule. |

People are constantly surprised when informed of my (male half's) age. I'm sure it's actually put a few off when they find out but it's really just a number at the end of the day.
There's a large age gap in our relationship but I'm not with my girlfriend just for that. In fact she's actually far more mature and well balanced than many women I've met of my own age.
A connection is a connection and attraction is not something you can choose. Stay safe, consensual and legal and enjoy the times when you meet people you click with. If someone writes you off because of a number they're probably not worth bothering with anyway. |

Bit silly really isn't it. Plenty of nice older people with loads of experience and they may just show you something which can only be enjoyed. |

Heaven only knows , im 53 , my fab age is a few months different than my real age  . For discretion.
We all have choices about who we want to meet , based on sex, age or other personal feelings
So as i cant read minds i shall leave it to others to think how old i look .

I have a preferred age range of "younger" solely because I've found that "older" men tend to have more of a Been There, Done That outlook on life.
When I set filters, I found I got a lot of messages from guys lying about their age anyway to just fit in, so I took off filters and go by how they talk.
Yes, filters cut out a lot of people, but if you have a preference, so it goes.

I think I look like a woman in her 40's.
I keep myself fit but I have lumps and bumps, stretch marks and scars from surgery.
I sometimes feel older when tired or aching and wonder why I put myself through such activities but then I remember that I am living a full and happy life.

It is but a number, but it's important that the number is above legal age...
That aside, rather than age I prefer to go with people purely on a connection basis. But do I look my age? I don't actually know... probably... but I've been losing weight and that brings with it a few sags and bags... not that I was ever in any way hot. I appeal more to those who require something more than a visual dopamine hit. fortunately for me there a re a few ladies like that here, and one in particular is making me smile a lot right now! |

We both always get told we look younger facially but we are sure with lockdown our bodies might be starting to give the game away.
On another thread someone wanted to ban celery, Noooo that might become my staple diet for a while at this rate! ??

I had this age debate with someone the other day when I said something about them being a youngster as they were coming up 39 she thought she was older than me or about the same age rather than being 10 years older
Must be my younger complexion  |

"People routinely underestimate my age by a decade or more.
As for maximum limits: Helen Mirren is 75. Is anyone seriously going to turn down *Helen Mirren* because of some numbers? "
I had the pleasure of being an extra in a film with Helen last year, believe me she is remarkably attractive in the flesh.  |

We would like to think a bit younger, others can be the judge of that. We both train hard for the sport we compete in, which helps with both of our physiques. I (Mr) would definitely knock 10 years off Mrs Skyblue. |

I think my body reflects a 45 + woman who has gained over 8 stone, lost 6 stone and gained it again, had two large babies and who is fond of her food and backs away from hard core exercise.
I have saggy boobs and bingo wings I could fly away with.
It is what it is. I could have surgery but the truth is I don’t want to.

Body older. Face younger- I’m managing to escape wrinkles at the moment. I kind of think if I was slim would my face look older- I’m guessing my fat stretches out my wrinkles... |

Possibly older. I'm not happy overall with my body, and working on it. Never really been fit in my adult life, and want to change that, not for appearances sake but for self confidence and health reasons. It's still a work in progress though so I think some people would see me as older. Keen for feedback though.. |

My husband is surprised at my age brackets on here, I'm 24 and I'm looking for anyone up to age about 45. Age doesn't bother me to a certain point. I mean, if an attractive 50 odd year old came on to me, I wouldn't say no ??
People that know me are quite surprised my by age though, most think I'm older, but I still get IDed for a bottle of wine at most shops haha |

I really don’t know actually!
I’m 27, not sure how “old” or “young” my body looks! I think people have different perceptions of bodies such as slim meaning younger and bigger meaning older. |

I have no idea tbh.
Probably the same?
I'm crap with ages, as it really don't mean much to me. I know plenty of young people that act or look older and I know plenty of older people that act or look younger.
I hardly ever even celebrate my birthday. I sometimes even forget my age and have to get my kids to remind me 
Maybe 'that' is a sign of getting old |

Usually the response is younger
I'm done with much younger men. Nothing below 42 as I always regret it!

My face looks younger but my body looks older than 30’s. Years of weight gain and loss along with changing levels of exercise due to long term injuries have taken their toll.
I’ve opened my age ranges (filters) after finding myself attracted to those outside of them recently. I’ve definitely become more open and find i’m more attracted to people than just the surface. |

I’m yet to come across anyone who admits someone looks older than they are to their face!
The thing is perception of age is different for everyone, someone 25 might be someone’s 33, so it’s never going to be accurate.
If someone says “How old do I look” like you I deliberately shave a few years off to save the offended face! |

I think just on body I'd get aged in the right ball park.
Going by face people used to age me 5-8 years younger in my 20s/30s. The 'best' one was being asked to provide proof of age buying cigarettes when it was legal to buy them at 16 - I was 25 at the time (although I was freshly clean shaven that day). |

Intresting question OP, we have seen someone on fab or out of fab who are not in our age range. Plus when we meet people like socials nights, it gives us a different perception of the individual. Hence we're more likely to be attracted to them. |

But isn’t that someone’s right?
I don’t want to meet a 79 year old man, surely it’s my right to deny all 79 year olds of gaining a connection with me?
Everyone has preferences whether it be age, race, height, dress size or humour. Everyone should be entitled to them.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across someone who gives every single person who gives them attention a chance, that would be sort of desperate to just not have any standard. |

Yes you are very correct. I was kinda aiming it at where you may miss a connection based on being a year or two out. Not when the difference is generations.

I have an age preference and there will be those who are a year or two out, but that’s life.
Not everyone you want will want you, pointless to dwell on it or focus your attention on those who aren’t interested in you. We walk past people everyday who we may have a connection with, but again, that’s life, you’ll never know. |

OK, I'm old....."
Me too
I struggle with ages, especially guys. Just looking at my groups of mates, age range from 30-52, some of the younger ones look older than the older ones in the group and vice versa.
I messed up a couple of years ago, celebrating one of their big birthdays.... I bought a 40th birthday card and walked into a room decorated with 30 everywhere, they saw the funny side and put it down to their lack of hair on the bonnet |

Age is only a number on all counts. I’ve met people older who act immature and younger people with an old head on their shoulders. That’s just life! For me it’s more about the person not age.... saying that I wouldn’t meet anyone younger than my eldest (22) as it just wouldn’t feel right, that’s just my personal preference though! |

"Put a cassette tape and pen in front of them and see if they know how both go together
OK, I'm old.....
Me too
I struggle with ages, especially guys. Just looking at my groups of mates, age range from 30-52, some of the younger ones look older than the older ones in the group and vice versa.
I messed up a couple of years ago, celebrating one of their big birthdays.... I bought a 40th birthday card and walked into a room decorated with 30 everywhere, they saw the funny side and put it down to their lack of hair on the bonnet "
I’ve pretty much lacked hair since I was 25.
With the age thing I think “Why don’t you grow up” or “Why don’t you act your age” are quite offensive comments really, we are all different, like different things & for some maybe like me what I liked to do when I was 20 is still what I like to do at 58.
To me looking younger is one thing, living younger is another, most of our social friends are younger than H & my age is only apparent in conversation if I mention something from before they were born.
We do shy away from others of my age unless they have a common interest (motorcycles usually) as they usually have a differing outlook, have had the kids grow up, leave home & have kids themselves while over here our youngest is 8! I don’t suppose there are that many households of someone approaching 60 who’s house reverberates to K-pop, Manga movies or the music of Professor Elemental on a daily basis ??
But it is what it is, on here you are your age & that’s the end of it, Line drawn, do not cross it. probably why so many (male & female) lie about it.
