Ever since I joined fab I've had very strict age barriers (25-40) and I've never wavered.
So I'm extending my ages from 25-50 for a few weeks to see if I really am missing out. What do you think? |

I'm 50 next year and I can assure you I don't act it and everyone seems shocked when I tell them, I hope they aren't just being polite lol - but I think you might be pleasantly surprised- good luck ?? |

"I went the other way and lowered my age limit recently, very very glad I did  "
I can't really lower mine lol 25 is young enough I think. Much younger and they get to the age of some of my sons friends  |

Think of fellas in the forum who are 40+. Would you like to meet any of them? And that's YOUR answer instead of someone else's preference being the answer! |

"We did it a while back, got instantly bombarded and can't say I was keen on any of them  "
That happens to me when I move my upper age limit up. I don't complain because I don't do the searching but it's rare I find someone compatible. |

The forums have very little bearing on who I would meet. They aren't a true representation of the whole site. She could think no to every man on the forums but yes to many who have never been on here. |

If you go to a club you don't go around asking age, its a far more fluid thing based around lots of contributing factors, if you feel you may be missing out OP then by all means have a look, don't let others scare stories deter you |

I think that if you stretch your upper limit by another four years and move to Swindon, that'll be just perfect! |

When I put it higher I got a lot of unsavoury 50 year olds messaging, for that reason Iv lowered the age. |

I've met older people who keep in shape and have a younger attitude.
My preference but I'm tired and bored of meeting inexperienced, clingy and immature younger people. |

I'm a patient man, more than happy to wait for you lovely lady - you'll have to up your age limit to 58 by then though. |

You're clearly motivated and gagging for them, so yes
There's an exceptional guy that I see in public regularly, and I'd waiver my limits for him. Otherwise I know what I like and I don't do mercy fucks at the Chelsea home. |

I tried this, got a lot of derogatory/sexist comments and rude, impatient men messaging me. Filters are lower than i'd like them to but it's worth it.
Would love to know how you get on. |

Personally, fifties guys are definitely the way to go ... I went from having fuck buddies in their twenties and thirties to my partner and it was like being with a real man for the first time in my life. Do what you want with your filters ... can't even remember where we set ours, but definitely not into the younger crowd anymore |

You're only missing out if that's your preference, you must have an inkling whether you find 40+ attractive ~ if not you're only gonna get a shit load of extra messages to deal with. |

Eeek!
Remember you will be 60+ one day and may still want meets. "
With any luck I won't look 60. I'm mid thirties ATM but everyone seems to think I'm early twenties |

I agree with this completely. I've met many guys over 40. It's my preferred age group. But if the forum was representative of that i would give up. |

"Annoying when your 1 year out and cant message."
This.
It can be incredibly frustrating, just have to respect the choice and move on.
It helps to know that they're definitely missing out.   |

"I have a stupid question.
If I have my age preference set, how can people outwith those ages message me? Is there an actual filter I could use? 
I should probably find the FAQ page!  "
Yes...you need to apply the message filters too via your account |

Yeah you have to apply the filter or they can message you. They get a warning about you being not interested but can still message. |

I've realised that since hitting 50 a lot of filters stop at 49 so ladies you're missing out. I've been told my body and stamina can put many younger men to shame.
In my head I'm 30 with 20 more years experience..

I don't think being over fifty makes people unsavoury. We have approaches from unsavoury people of all ages!!!!
To be serious though there are 40year olds who look and act 50+ , and there are 50+ who look and act 40 so you may still miss out and still be bothered by numpties. |

I think its a case of attraction. On the whole I'm attracted to guys my own age more. There'll always be the rare older guy I'm attracted to though but I'll search for those myself and keep my filters on.  |

If you have strict age limits you are definitely missing out unless you are looking for something it is impossible to have outside those limits.
That does not mean that everyone you meet outside those age limits will be suitable; just as it does not mean everyone within that age limits will be suitable.
We keep the limits wide and judge people on their own merits as individuals.
Have you decided what it is you are really looking for and whether those outside your limits could or could not have those attributes?

An older guy can offer what I'm looking for but i'll just search for them instead as out of all the older guys who messaged me not one of the over 40s was suitable. |

Why not see what response you get. ..how one is and what they look like is not always determined by age. When I tell people my age in real life they...are often suprised...think I am 7 or 8 years younger than I am. And iit's a matter of mentality too...off course. |

I'm not saying there are no 40+ men that I find attractive and as someone who looks much younger myself I'm aware that age doesn't always matter. But the 40+ guys who message me on the whole aren't what I'm looking for. Hence why I'll search for them instead. |

More likely to get a sexy interesting man going from ages 35 to 55 obviously some really are not suitable . But that's the same with women of that age |
