"Yes it is discrimination, not that that’s a bad thing per se. But I’m interested in why the hard cut-off." Discrimination in the sense of recognising when something is good or bad? Our age range actually starts at 50. That's because we, from experience, know that people younger than that often aren't compatible with us sexually. I'm guessing that people who have an upper limit of 50 feel the same about people over that age. Why wouldn't you want to meet people of our age? | |||

"Yes it is discrimination, not that that’s a bad thing per se. But I’m interested in why the hard cut-off." No it's not discrimination at all.People don't want to meet people of a certain age and that is their choice. Just because it puts some people outside their age range is not even slightly discriminatory against them. It just means they don't want to have sex with them. I'm 50 I am outside people's age ranges and you know what it doesn't bother me a bit because I understand I'm too old for some people on here and that is fine. I concentrate on people whose age ranges and filters I suit rather than worry about those whose I fall outside of. Age is not just a number to a lot of people and it actually annoys me when people try and shame people because they fall outside their age ranges either end of the scale. And use the term discrimination to describe it. No one should have to explain why they don't want to have sex with others. Oh and my filters are set as they are because I don't want a load of messages. If I see someone outside of my age range especially the upper level I will and have made first contact. As long as I fall within their filters of course | |||

Right.....so much to unpick here. When you're bestowed with a 50+ age, that doesn't automatically mean you become unattractive. Basically, you're talking bollocks. As a male on here, you're hardly going to be swimming in fanny, so, remember that you will get to this age, you will gain weight, you will continue to want to fornicate and one will have earned respect. You also become a better lover, with skills you can only dream of right now. I could have just put 'fuck off', but my age dictates I shouldn't do that. | |||

"Because, the majority of people in their 50s look like garden gnomes.
I'm over 50 btw, so I'm allowed to say this -- most people my age are in decline, and way too many look like they've given up. "Totally get you and yes, some people in their 30s on this platform look the same. Not going to lie, it’s fucking hard work the older you get. We work hard, but we’re gracious in accepting that by the time you hit our age you’ve had the stuffing knocked out of you. But you haul yourself up, and keep working hard. So hence our query about why the hard 50 cut-off. | |||

"People over 50 must face facts. They are over the hill and far away. All the relics of the 1970's are no longer relevant in our time. Now is the time for the plus 50 club to slow down, take a breath and settle into your M&S slippers. Put the cocoa on, slump into your Shackleton's high seat chair and adjust your compression socks. It will soon be time for Bargain Hunt. Step aside for you are done. Finished. Game over. " | |||

"For me personally once you get into the 50+ range you become the age of my parents and it doesnt feel right to me If i met you in a social setting it might be slightly different but on fab its a hard no based on that reason alone if that makes sense?" Exactly the same with us, we’ve chatted to a few over 50’s in clubs and age cut offs we’re never mentioned once. On fab it’s more to filter out who can chat with us | |||

"So we’ve come across so many profiles who set their cut-off at age 50. Curious to know, why the hard cut-off? It’s not like a switch flicks. Mentally, I think it does. Odds are people over 50 are likely to be less attractive, which is a not unreasonable assumption. Whilst there are clearly exceptions, it's a lot of faff to try and look for them. Right.....so much to unpick here. When you're bestowed with a 50+ age, that doesn't automatically mean you become unattractive. Basically, you're talking bollocks. As a male on here, you're hardly going to be swimming in fanny, so, remember that you will get to this age, you will gain weight, you will continue to want to fornicate and one will have earned respect. You also become a better lover, with skills you can only dream of right now. I could have just put 'fuck off', but my age dictates I shouldn't do that." You didn’t read past the first line did you? Probably your age……… | |||

We did not mean to offend anybody. Maybe, ‘discrimination’ was a poor choice of a word.
Discrimination has a bad connotation these days. According to our favourite AI ‘discrimination can never be a good thing’… But according to a dictionary it can just be the knowledge between good or a bad or understanding the difference of things. So of course it can be a good thing. Ponder that for a second.
So Mrs N asked a question genuinely just out of curiosity. Not to garner views or whatever.
Personally, I find the person more interesting than the integer.

"It is them who are missing out as people over 50 can be more exciting and adventurous as people in their 20s or 30s." They are not missing out on anything if they don't want to meet people of that age. | |||

"Brad Pitt is pushing 60...would he be out of bounds??..some people age great" This is the thing though, we can mention celebrities that look great, but they're not likely to be here. People use the tools we have, not necessarily to place a firm 'absolutely not' but to help with filtering. I'm sure the majority will be willing to go a little beyond their age range, for the right person, and I'm sure if initial contact is in person, rather than online, it again may be a differing result. People use the site to the best of their abilities/knowledge, and the age selection is simply a small part of that. I think, the OP has the answer amongst replies, because when questioned about their age restrictions, they've found the answers. | |||
