"Why the 50 cutoff that so many specify. Not all of us have a beer belly and balding....lol.. Come on ladies be fair...U are stating an age cut off because a vision of a50 yr old with beer gut and no hair...   "
Unless you happen to appreciate bigger, bald men, in which case you are setting a limit you've decided upon.
I'm guessing you'd be happy with a limit of 52....til you reach that age? |

We set our age range based upon those that we are most likely to connect with on a level other than sexual, not because we believe all over 50's are fat and balding. It did used to be higher but we knocked down given the amount some lie about their age.
We wouldn't ask a couple in a club how old they were, that would come down simply to mutual attraction and how well we connect. Just on fab we need some degree of selectivity.
I do in fact a number of older men, unfortunately they are celebrities and I've not managed to find them on Fab.
So Philip Glenister, Suggs and Sean Pertwee if you're here; hi

It has feck all to do with hairloss or the size of someones belly! I have played with younger guys with both, I just don't fancy guys that look old enough to be my dad  |

"Choosing not to meet men over 50 isn't being unfair. Nobody has to do anything or meet anyone they don't want to on fab.
I certainly wasn't stomping my feet and saying it unfair...  I was curious as to the rationale. After all in a club we don't walk around with an age badge on. Just saying by putting an arbitrary cutoff people could miss out on meeting folks they might really connect with. "
Your comment "come on ladies be fair" implied to me that you do think its unfair.
We put a cut off at the upper and lower age end, we might miss out but its a risk we're prepared to take. At 60 and 61 we're out of loads of people's age range, we concentrate on the profiles we are compatible with. |

Really, you know that's why I have a cut off age? Must be so cool to know everything about everyone 
I'd ignore you for the text speak and massive assumptions before age  |

There and to the left a bit |
So would you really meet ANY ladies between the ages of 18-99 OP? Or would someone young enough to be your granddaughter or old enough to be your grandmother put you off?
I know it would me - which is why I set my age preferences as I do, as do others - no point moaning about it, it's no different from any other preference people state on here - you just have to accept it. |

"wait while you get to 56 . most stop at 55 .
I laugh in the face of your 56 and wave at you from the dizzy heights of 61 
"
You look like you've still got a cracking body though. So why should age matter if there's an attraction? |

It works both ways we won't entertain someone we could be parents too. I don't see the 20somethings complaining or trying to understand the probable simple rational behind most age brackets. If a sixty year old says on profile they just like 20-30 year olds guess what they will find people of that age who like older, unless you struggle with everyday tasks its simple to understand |

Thanks. I agree to an extent. However looks are important to me in casual encounters and I prefer a mature face and body so I'd be unlikely to meet under about 38.

We put a range on here to give people a rough idea and also for searches. When we are in clubs we tend to talk to people we find attractive and go from there.
This site is a filter, and from experience we take ages on here with a pinch of salt!
Some 40 year old guys look 60 and some 60 year old guys look 45, but if any of them act 85 or 20 then not interested!
The ladies tend to be more like the ages they state!! |

I totally agree with this point, it's exactly why I lowered my age range. |

Try being in a mixed age relationship, there’s 15 years between us and that’s where the fun really begins as everyone we’re attracted to it seems one of us is too young and the other too old.
I personally prefer older men but they’ve got to make the same effort with appearance as my partner does and have a good attitude although my dad is 53 so anyone older than him it just gets a bit weird for me. |

My OH is 48, I am 34, the age difference sometimes gets to us.
Our cut off age is 52 for others if both sex. We've had some couples who won't play with us because I am too young for them and vise versa with them being too old for me. Until u meet someone in person you cannot gauge how you will feel.
The cut off.....t'is just guidelines. Argh! Dreamcatcher Xx |

We have the same issues but have managed meets at both ends of our age range. They are few though..

I would the real thing is how many do put their real age on here. As for people only going for under 50 means they only looking for fit sexy people who they can communication with.  |

I think that people only care about somebody's age limits when they fancy them, and are 1yr outside the limit.
Personally I find 20-30yo ladies a bit of a turnoff, but fortunately nobody cares. |

As an older gent, I find clubs a much better way to meet new friends....I have been told I don’t look, act or behave my 58 years.
Here on Fab when you are truthful about your age, your personality and are your demeaner is very difficult to assess in a profile.

The sense of entitlement displayed never ceases to amaze me!
Some act like this is a free sexual dispensary and the women are here purely for their delight, legs akimbo.
Get over yourselves!
So, some people have the temerity to have a preference that excludes you...boo hoo...get over yourselves! I tire of stating this, but it's not getting through: we will NEVER have universal appeal. If people concentrated on those seeking their age/height/sexual orientation etc instead of those NOT seeking them we'd be spared the daily glut of these entitled threads.
Right...I'm off to drool over the young, fit as fuck actors in Sparticus! |

"Already struggle to keep up with messages from people my own age. Got to draw a line somewhere x
Well if u set preference 50 to 60 would have less messages...simples.. "
Think the age range I have just now works really well for me, but I'll keep it in mind though |

Everyone has different preferences based on age, looks etc. It goes both ways though, there's been women on here I've wanted to message but can't because I'm a couple of years too young. So sometimes being older does help.
If your in good shape then sooner or later you'll probably come across someone who likes older guys.

Just dont lie about your age in order to message people with limits on their profiles cos it wont end well. If you lie about your age, what else might you lie about?
Lets respect other people's choices. |

We are 50 plus.
For some reason we seem to get offers from young cples. Some as young as 25.
Obviously We are very flattered but not sure what it is we have that young people want. |

I have chatted and played with a wide age range so left my preferences open. Doesn't mean I'd meet a 99 year old but if i set an arbitrary limit of eg 60 i don't want to rule out that gorgeous 61 year old.
It's frustrating that some women might be put off by me being their dad's age, because in lots of other ways I'm probably totally unlike their dad. But I do understand it, we all make arbitrary choices based on all sorts of factors.
And at 52 I'm bald with a belly but I do ok.
